I just have to say that this whole blogging adventure has turned out to be really fun. It has been a great creative outlet although my abilities with the computer leave my blog falling short of how I would love for it to look! I have loved keeping in touch with friends and meeting new friends in blog world. I really appreciate every one's comments and friendship!
I took a finished picture of our front door since I had promised that so long ago. Notice how the wreath I made covers the glass so nicely....now I don't have to have so many nightmares of a strange man looking at me through the glass! Actually I am getting used to the idea of it and it is amazing how many houses have glass in their front doors when you drive around and look.
By the way, I've gotten a little addicted to this softening effect on my photos. It makes things so much prettier then they actually are....my husband thought this effect made it look out of focus! Men! I wish I could walk around in real life with this softening effect going on, especially in the morning before I put my makeup on!
This is the area above my stove in the kitchen. It is one of the areas in my kitchen that puts a smile on my face....plus if it didn't the sign reminds me! When we bought our house we took a few cupboard doors off to have some open shelving. These are the original cabinets in our 1940's era house so they needed a little cheering up with fun colors and pretty flowery trays! I love my kitchen because it is quaint and cottagey but we still dream of fixing it up a little more one day. We just have to be careful we don't over improve because our little house isn't worth all that much!
We are having a pretty quiet week - we need to try and sell our broken down car...who will want it? I think I will have to advertise that someone could take it for parts too. I hope we can get something out of it!
I am thankful to God this week - two of my husband's cousins (they are sisters) were in accidents this past week. One was hit by a bike while walking and the other totaled her car. I'm thankful because both of them came out okay, a little banged up but safe. It reminds me how quickly our lives can change and to be thankful for God's protection -AND to appreciate the time God gives us with our loved ones.
On that note I'll sign off and wish everyone a happy Tuesday.

Happy Tuesday to you! I'm spending part of my day on my knees...trying to be thankful for my wood floors as I wash and wax them. Your pictures are beautiful..the wreath on the front door looks GREAT! Hugs to all!

Thanks for sharing and have a blessed day!

Ain't blogging great!! I have had the time of my life sharing snippets of my life and reading snippets of other's lives. I'm amazed both at how much we all have in common and how very different we all are...
I'm so happy to have found your sweet spot on the WWW - I think I clicked here from a comment you left at Sadie Olive's place, maybe.. Regardless, I'm happy to make your acquaintance! I would love to add a link to your blog from mine if you don't mind - I have a section called "Cottage Inspiration" that I would love to include you on... Your front door, as well as your "happy" place in your kitchen are inspired and inspiring - really nice vintage touches and cute displays!! Nicely done!
Take care and thanks for sharing your part of the world with all of us!
Blessings,
