I just want  to say thanks to Tip Junkie for featuring my   painted leather ottoman. I'm so thrilled that my ottoman still sparks so much interest. I'm flattered more than I can say.  Big thanks to everyone who has visited from there.

My Frilly Valentine

Somethings come over me, I usually don't decorate for Valentines day... but this year I felt the urge to add some sweetness and frills. It must be having the buffet as another surface to play with that motivated me. So here's my sweet Valentines Day vignette.

Thank You and an update...

I want to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for the outpouring of  love, support and condolences after the tragic and sudden loss of my mother. I knew the woman of blog land were amazing, but now I also know that you are loving,compassionate, and kind . Thanks to all of you who took the time to leave me uplifting comments and emails.  You all helped  to keep me whole when I thought that I would surely fall to pieces. A very special thank you to Diana for sending out an SOS in blog land and directing so much prayer and positive energy my way, you are an angel. I'm happy to  be able to tell you all that dad was released from the hospital. He is home now with visiting nurses and physical therapist. The family is pitching in to care for him around the clock. Physically he is doing very well, emotionally he is struggling. After so many years of marriage you wouldn't expect anything else. We will all get through this, after all we have our own special angel looking out for us. Thanks again, you all are the best! I'll be back soon.
