Cozy Kitchen Cabinet Corner

Do you keep your kitchen cabinets clear? I try  and then the first thing I know I have cluttered them back up.  I guess I just like clutter or maybe I just like to look at fun things. I love white and what a fun way to make plain jars white using marshmallows.  The lids of the jars are made from sheets of  old music just  tied with jute.  Go ahead and try it.  After a while the paper forms itself to the jar and it just lifts off like a lid. Believe it or not the marshmallows are still fresh and have been in those jars since Christmas. There are several more jars behind those showing that you can't see.  Have fun!!

A Season for All Things

So ready for "springtime" Oh how I would love to go out and spend some time on the back porch!! Maybe it won't be too long before we will be able to do that.  We will certainly appreciate  some good Texas warm weather after all of these extremely frigid days we have been "blessed" with.  At least as the "old timers" say "it sure killed all of the bugs". This is probably true but I hope some of them return for the springtime. Enjoy the season because "there is a season for all things" 

A mix of "White"

I apologize for not keeping my blog updated!! Here are a few pictures of some "white" pieces that we have 

had in our home at different times.  Since this is "white Wednesday" I thought I would try to post some of our

white furniture items.

  

This is a "married" chest and mirror that I wish I still had

 

A "springtime" mantle arrangement

I love the contrast of the dark green walls with the stark white of the old wicker sofa.

Roundtop Winter Show

I think most everyone is ready for an "junking" fix!! We are going to help you with your addiction . The "Roundtop Winter Show"  at the Red Barn in Roundtop, Tx. is this coming up this  weekend - Saturday, Jan. 15 and Sunday Jan. 16.  It is inside where it is nice and warm and dry.  I am sure you are aware that some of the best vendors in Texas will be at this show. It is worth the drive.  We look forward to seeing you.  The pic above is a shot of  some of the items we will be showing.  There is much more to see in the 50 plus booths where awesome vintage items will be shown

Happiness is a Choice

Mirror in Entry Hall

What a wonderful time of the year!!!!  I hope each and everyone of you have the most wonderful Christmas and the New Year brings you more happiness than you have ever known. Happiness is a choice!!  Billy and I  have chosen to take what God has permitted us to use and be happy and content with His blessings.

       

A Touch of Christmas

Just a touch of Christmas but enough to remind you of our" Christmas Open House" which is coming up.  On Dec. 2, which is on a Thursday, we will open promptly at 10 a.m. Shown in this picture are some pillows from our bedding line and a wonderful pair of old freestanding windows that you will  love.  The windows are white on the reverse side and have wonderful wavy glass in the panes. There is another window that goes with these and any of the windows can be bought separately.  Hopefully we will have more inspirations to help you with your Christmas decorating. The house is full of surprises to help you get ready for a fun holiday.

We feel blessed to be in a business where our customers become our friends.  That is the reason we open our home during the holidays  to our "old and new" friends.  See you soon!!

The Thrill of Christmas
