Home Sweet Home...

"Home Sweet Home"...
it's much more than just brick and mortar...
it's my safe haven...
my retreat...


my creative space...



my memory maker and keeper...
my joy...


holding treasures collected and created by little ones along the way...



filled with my favorite people...


Home...is where your story begins!

Have a happy day!
Many Blessings!

A gift from the sea...

Bringin' Summer to the table...



It all began with these...
After a generous dose of "crafty magic"...


They became these...



Tucked into the centerpiece...
One for each precious member of the family...


Summer is here...

and it's going to be just lovely!


Happy Monday!

Many Blessings!

The lime light!

This is our "lime light"!

Oh! I LOVE the bright, juicy color!
This lamp is one of my favorites...it has a very important job too...
it helps add soft lighting to the upstairs hallway/landing ...
(which can be seen from the downstairs living room as well)
and like a piece of artwork often has a light focussed on it to bring your attention
to its beauty...our "lime light" is perched atop one of our most
treasured finds...shining on this special piece...announcing to all who
see , "hey! stop and look!"

On our first anniversary we purchased this antique table as our gift to celebrate
our first year of marriage...we wanted something very special that we could
enjoy for many years to come...


If you look closely you will see a plaque that reads:
Presented to Mr. Gomer Jones
by his friends at Oswestry
on the occasion of his marriage
30th May, 1904

Well, we sure thought that would be a special way to celebrate our "first" year!


Never underestimate the power of a little old lamp!
Beauty AND function! One of my all-time favorite combinations!

I think the "lime light" enjoys this find as well!- at least it sure looks happy there!

Have a lovely day!
Many Blessings!
