Winner

I won!! I entered a Facebook contest and won a $25.00 gift certificate for Serendipity. A real cute boutique store here in my town. My daughter and I went to go see what she would like and this is what she picked out!

A very cute Western purse. 

I'm sorry I haven't been posting much lately but we have been so busy getting the kids ready for School. We are now done with that chore and so it's on to more exciting things!

Enjoying the Body Shop...Small Haul

Can you believe I've never shopped at "The Body Shop"? I have always ran into Bath and Body Works for my goodies. With all the fab. sales going on right now I was able to get 3 body washes with free shipping for less than $15.00.

All 3 smells really good and I can't figure out which one is my fav. My oldest daughter is trying to steal one of them...lol..

What are your Fav. products from "The Body Shop"?

~The Lovely Little Table Lamp- A CSN Store Review~

Remember when I said I was going to do a CSN store review? Well I chose a cute little table lamp to replace my old lamp in the living room. I love the simple black base to this lamp and the shade is a cream/white sturdy and very well made shade, not floppy on the base at all, I love that! I will be browsing more of this store soon, very well packed box and it was shipped so fast.

I have paired the new lamp with a handknitted doily that my Mom knitted when she was younger. The sign says "Motherhood*Wisdom*Patience and chocolate chip cookies" I love this cute lil sign!

You can visit the CSN Stores here....Have fun browsing and let me know whatcha find!

Would You Decorate Around This....

We are looking for a new living room set and saw these on CL...I'm not sure why but I'm LOVING them! Maybe these would fit into the French Country theme? This is going out of my comfort zone since there is no color Blue anywhere on it...

Whatcha think ladies?

A Finished Stitchery..Running Behind

I have finished my latest Stitchery and the frame has dried, I spray painted it black. I'm on the hunt for the perfect corner here to hang it, It's the year that DH and I were married.

I'm so behind, I wanted to stitch something for my sister but I haven't started that yet and I have to run out and grab presents still!!

Are you running behind too, Will you be out there on Christmas Eve too..lol..?

My Rooster Wall Hanging

Here is another wall hanging, My Great Aunt Hazel made me this one many years ago, It has become my Fav. piece in all of my Rooster collection. In every house it has hung in the kitchen, She was a great lady who was ALWAYS busy stitchen/sewing, She gave each of my kids a quilt and I'll post pics of those later on.

So I found this site called ShopGoodwill.com...I'm now officially hooked! The items on there varies from day to day and always a nice surprise to find something that you'd love to have and display in your house, fab. old quilts! I here that Ebay is the same but I have never gotten anything from there, My DH has but not I...I wonder how come it has taken me so long to discover it, Prob. cuse the kids are getting out of the diaper phase and I have a few minutes to myself during the day to explore more online.

Well with DH out of town for Business, I have come to realize that I do appreciate his help carrying the water buckets back and forth to the barn every day, my back is aching tonight. We hope to be able to have water run into the barn by next winter but for now we have to use our mudroom's sink and fill buckets. It's hard work but I love it when Hoss nickers at me!
