<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">come and stay with us for so long...2.5 months this time!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">She has a bedroom in our basement and a nice bathroom</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">too. Every year I do something a little bit different in her</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">room...here are a few pictures of what her room looks</span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I love this old metal bed. It has a lovely medallion on the</span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">headboard and footboard. Some people would probably</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">have painted it straight away, but I liked the way it looked</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">this way so I left it. The screen behind the bed is from</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Target and it is a Simply Shabby Chic piece that was</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">available years ago. Why is all of the great Shabby Chic</span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">for $40 for the pair. They are Ballard Designs chairs</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">from home. She really loves it down there in the basement. It gives her privacy and it's very comfortable. I have a little </span><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">portable fireplace that she uses as well if it gets too</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Today I am going to share a little post with you on how to</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">embellish your own jeans. I rarely do DIY posts as I'm not</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">really into "crafty" things these days, but when the rare</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">occasion pops up, it's time to share!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have been wanting a pair of embellished jeans for quite</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">some time now, but I absolutely refuse to pay the price</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">for them! I saw a pair the other day that I loved, but they</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">were $140. Yes, you read that right. I don't think so!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now if you are a woman under 30, you can get away with</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">an awful lot! If you are a woman over 30 (and in my case)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">quite a bit older, then in all reality, you do not need</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">that </span><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">much bling on your butt! Some of those jeans out</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">there are way overboard...at least for me!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">So with a cute pair of boyfriend crop jeans from Apt. 9</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">at Kohl's...off I go...you will need jeans (obviously),</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">lace, buttons, sequins, fabric glue and a needle and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">thread for attaching any buttons, etc.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">I had this pretty lace trim that I wanted to use because I</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">wanted to make my jeans more "pretty" and less "blingy"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">if that makes any sense. Now it was time to figure out</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">where to put the lace on the pockets. I tried seeing how</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">it looked going </span><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">through the middle of the pockets...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">And then settled on putting it just under the line of</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">stitching on the pockets. I just didn't like it on the very</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">top edge, but that is entirely up to you and what you</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">I bought this fabric glue at Hobby Lobby to use for this</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">project. I have never used it before, but it had all of the</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">qualities I was looking for so I decided to give it a go. It</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">dries clear and it states that your articles of clothing can</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">be washed so </span><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">we'll see how it goes after I try to wash them!</span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">The next thing I did was to measure and cut two pieces of</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">lace for the pockets. I didn't want the ends to fray, so I</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">cut them about 1/4" larger than the pockets so I could fold</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">them over and tack them down.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">The next step was to iron the lace, fold over the edges</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">and pin the pieces on the pockets to see how they looked.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">The edges look a bit off in the pictures, but I swear in</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">person it looks even. I don't know how the camera picks</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">up that stuff! I fixed the edges a little bit and off I went</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">to the next step...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">I spread the fabric glue down on the jeans and then pressed</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">the lace down and held it for a few moments. I was quite</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">surprised at how firmly it seemed to hold the lace, but I</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">still wanted to take a needle and thread and tack down</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">the edges on both sides of each pocket.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">I then added (and I'm sorry for this lousy picture!) a cute</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">blingy shank button to the center of each pocket along</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">with some pink sequins. I used the fabric glue for the</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">sequins so I hope they stay put. It says right on the bottle</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">that the glue can be used for sequins so we'll see. It has</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">been quite awhile since I held a needle and thread in my</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">hand and I was quite proud of my accomplishment with</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">the button...until I cut the thread on the back, admired</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">my handiwork and realized that I had sewn right through</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">the pocket rendering my pocket useless! Yes, way to go!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Today I thought that I would share a few pictures with you</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">of my mannequin. She sits in my front room beside my big</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">rose painting. I love her! I tend not to put a lot of clothes</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">on her, but I thought that I would add this cute pink fringed</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">skirt for something different.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The skirt is actually a party table fringe that I purchased at</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">one of my favorite stores, Dear Lizzie, in Highland, UT.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I just cut a piece off the garland and pinned it around the</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">waist. I had the other bits and pieces on her before so I</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">just had to put them back in place. I don't know why, but</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I like my mannequin more simple these days without a lot</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">am not too adept at creating bows, but this one just</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">seemed to work for me. It gives it some added texture</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">which I don't have a lot of in my home. I need more!</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Last week I had the chance to go junking with a</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">good friend of mine. We found the best stuff and</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">had such a wonderful day! At one of our favorite</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">antique malls, we came across an amazing pink</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">needlepoint chair! It was everything I adore in a </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">chair and it was like it was made for my front room!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Alas, the price was just abit too high for me and</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I walked away without it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">On our very last stop at one of the thrift stores</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">that we frequent (and with only 20 minutes to</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">go until closing), I came across this adorable little</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">French Provincial chair. It was only $8.00. Yes,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">you read that right! It jumped into my cart</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">pretty quickly when I saw the price. I got a cute</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">and described my thrift shop find with her and I</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">sounded really pretty...we talked about it for</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">some time. We get off on these tangents you see...</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The next morning the phone rang quite early and</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">the caller id announced that it was my Mom. I</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">thought that it was kind of strange (she lives in</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Canada) seeing as how we had talked for some</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">time the night before. Right away I could tell by</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">the sound of her voice that something was up!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">She said...I want you to go on a caper for me!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mom and I are always going on capers when we</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">are together! (*_*) She told me that she wanted</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">me to go down to the antique mall and pick up</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">that beautiful pink french chair! Of course I told</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">her that I couldn't and that it just wasn't in the</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">cards for me at that particular time.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">She told me that I most certainly could go and get</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">it because she had called down to the antique mall</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">and had purchased it for me as a present! What???</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My Mom is always up to something! She had an old</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">flyer of all of the antique stores and sales that she</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">had brought home with her, looked up the number</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">to the antique mall and phoned them first thing in</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">the morning and purchased the chair for me!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">always trying to do things for me and buy things</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">for me and I'm always saying NO! I guess she</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">decided to totally bypass me this time and leave</span></div>

<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">warmer weather arrives...I have to be outside!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We planted these lovely trees along our park strip a</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">few years ago. They are the gorgeous Japanese</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Eventually we plan on planting more of them along the</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">delicate and pretty. They remind me of tissue paper that</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">has been formed into intricate little flowers and glued</span></div>

<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">very strong winds here and I was afraid that they were</span></div>

<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">all going to get blown off a few times, but they stayed</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">strong! Even so, they rarely last longer than a few weeks.</span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In the meantime, I thought I would share with you</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">this sweet pillow that I found at Hobby Lobby last</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">with this cute graphic on the front. I don't buy a lot</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">of "cutsey" items for my home anymore (I have so</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">many already!), but this one tugged at me and I</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">thought that it would look sweet in the center of</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">really...basically I just have two selling venues.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">that by purchasing on my web site I do not </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">have to pay the Etsy final value fees. That</span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Today I thought that I would share a cute </span><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">story</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"> with you all...the case of the reunited shades!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A little over a year ago I fell in love with this</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">adorable lampshade on Etsy and purchased it</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">from a lovely seller than I have known for years.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The delicate, floppy ruffles and pretty lace</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">totally sold me along with the fact that it was</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">the most pretty shade of pale pink</span><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">! I could</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">not wait to make it mine!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">A year passed and it was still sitting on my shelf.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">I needed to find the right lamp for it and it had</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">taken a back seat to all of my other projects.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">I decided, after searching around my city, to visit</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Etsy again to see if I could find a cute little lamp.</span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As I was scouring through the pages, I did a double</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">take and clicked back one page. Umm...there was</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">my lampshade. What the heck? I contacted the</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">seller, who lived in Canada, and it turns out that</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">she had made the lampshade almost two years</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">ago, but now she was going to sell it. She had sold</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">its mate on Etsy to someone about a year and</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">a half ago and yes, you guessed it, that was my</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">first pink shade that I purchased. So...between</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">two sellers (and a few years!), both of these</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">adorable lampshades </span><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">are back together</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now when you saw the title of this post, I imagine</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">that most of you thought that it was going to be</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">about lightening up your decor for spring. In a</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">sense it is, but not in the way you think!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I rarely get very personal on my blog and that is</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">just a choice for me, but today I wanted to share</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">something with you...my new motto, which is</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Don't take yourself, or your decorating too seriously!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Recently someone made me feel bad about my decor.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I know, it's silly and I rarely care what other people</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">think, but this just got to me for some reason. It</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">is probably because I pour my heart and soul into</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">my home and I actually love what it looks like.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I don't follow trends (or it takes me year to and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">by then they are really old!) and I don't care if it</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">is to everyone's liking...I like it!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you follow trends, hey, that's great! I have</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">nothing against that at all. In fact, I think it's</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">pretty cool that people can change and adapt like</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">that. I'm just not one of those people!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The burlap obsession is not for me, the industrial</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">chic thing is not for me and the all white decor</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">(which I love!) is just not for me either. I love</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">color and I love adding silly, whimsical objects</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">to my existing pieces - as you may notice above!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Do what's right for you and your home will shine!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Your personality will come out in everything you</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">touch and you won't have "cookie cutter"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">surroundings to boot! Do what </span><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">YOU love </span><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">and</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">do what makes YOU feel good! There is no right</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">and there is no wrong and there is no reason to</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">have your home a certain way just because it's</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;">It's a new year and you have a new calendar on</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;">Hello again ~ today I am sharing just a few pics of</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;">my pink and cream decorations on top of my tv stand.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;">I took my large, heavy concrete urn from my coffee table</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;">and used it as the centerpiece. I love how all of these</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;">pretty pastels work together effortlessly...</span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;">I have had this little metal sleigh for a few years...it's a</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;">thrift store find. I filled the inside with vintage hand</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;">painted pink balls along with vintage white glittered</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;">drum and bell ornaments.</span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;">On the other side of the urn is a large glass cloche</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;">filled with Christmas ornaments...nothing fancy here,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;">but I love the way it looks! The rose topiary trees on</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;">each side are from Target. I purchased them</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;">several years ago and I still love them!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Everyone else is doing it...so why not me?! Today I am going to share my</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Christmas tree with you all. This year I decided to go with something quite</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">different than my usual tree. I pulled out all of my very pale pastel vintage</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ornaments and I just wasn't feeling it. This year I'm in the mood to celebrate!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My husband had a very serious heart attack in September (what heart attack</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">isn't serious?!) and I am grateful that he is still here. I wanted something</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">more cheerful, bright and happy!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had a lot of hot pink balls in my collection that I had gathered the last few</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">years from thrift stores, as well as some larger, lighter pink glittered balls.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These two colors got me started. I visited Hobby Lobby (two minutes from</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">my house which isn't necessarily a good thing!) and found that all of their</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Christmas decor was on sale at 50% off. I purchased silver snowflakes,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">white glittered snowflakes, ornate glass ornaments with sprinkles on them</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and the makings for the top of the tree.</span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can't remember the last time I had a star on the top of my tree. I decided to</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">go with a plain silver tinsel star along with those wild pink picks and some</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">other silver branch picks. I love it!</span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I absolutely LOVE these long glass ornaments. I bought them in three</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">colors of pink and they have sprinkles on them. They were in the</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today I thought that I would share my dining room chandelier. I usually like</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">to decorate it for Christmas and in previous years I have had it loaded with</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">all sorts of Christmas ornaments, florals and baubles. I wanted to go more</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">simple this year so I decided on two different types of ornaments. I wanted</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">a little pop of color, but not too much!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I decided on these vintage pink ornaments for the very top. I just love</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the look of these...I am totally into silver this year and, of course, my</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">decor wouldn't be complete without the ubiquitous pink in it!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the bottom I chose these gorgeous glass angel wing ornaments. I</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">found these lovely treasures here in Salt Lake City at a warehouse decor </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">have pretty silver glitter accenting each wing. I love the way they look</span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I managed to find eight of these at the end of the season last year and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">they were almost giving them away. I actually went back a second time</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">to find more, but they were all sold out!</span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is my little tablescape just below the chandelier. I found this adorable </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">pink crepe paper Christmas tree at my favorite decor boutique, Dear Lizzie.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I just love this tree! It has silver glitter sparkled around each layer. The rest</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">of the display is filled with silver candle holders on top of my large rose</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">resin mirror. I love the way the mirror reflects everything! It's so sparkly!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope you enjoyed my chandelier and I would like to</span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!</span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It has been over six months since my last post! It has been</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">a </span><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">good, but rough year for the Stewarts. I'm surprised that I</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I thought I would start my blogging again with a little bit</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">of inspiration for Christmas! You can see that I am getting</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">all of my silver polished up for the holidays. The picture</span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">because my counters were so full of stuff! Why do I always</span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is what I started with...a large silver tray in the center</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">of the coffee table and three very large silver vases on</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">remembered that I had purchased a few bags of hot pink </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and silver present bows at Hobby Lobby a few days before.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Why not? I like the way they look and they match the bright</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">ago!) and then woke up one day, looked at it and thought to yourself...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">just what is that HOT MESS going on with that doo-dad? In other</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">words, just what the heck was I thinking???</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">Well I am about to give you a lesson in the "what was I thinking"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">category. Take a look at that shelf above. Three or so years ago,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">I thought that it was the bomb! Now to me it just looks like a bomb</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">went off and exploded CRAP all over my shelf! (*_*) I've had this</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">shabby shelf for years. I talked an antique store owner into selling it</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">to me one day and I've loved it ever since. It has a nice cream</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">background with very well worn pink paint underneath.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now take a serious look at that monstrosity...everything under the sun is</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">on that shelf! There is a tray at the top, postcards, little birds, Austrian</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">china, Marie Antoinette books, flowers, pin baskets, altered art frames,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">little bobble heads...you name it, it's on there! I took one look at it one</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">day and decided that enough was really enough! There is definitely</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">something in the air with me these days; clutter is driving me nuts!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So...absolutely EVERYTHING came off of that shelf. Look at it now,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">it's so bare and clean looking...a blank slate you might say.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is the finished result and I am quite happy with it. I added mostly</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">silver framed photographs, some tarnished silver and only a few little</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">accessories here and there. You might recognize the lovely postcards</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">on the top shelf...they are from Georgianna Lane of Georgianna Lane</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">Photography. I think that it looks so much better! I am still not sure</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">about the vintage pink show ribbons on either side. I might remove them</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">yet. They are really neat old ribbons that I purchased on Etsy. I think</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">that the pink and white color scheme was the ENTIRE reason that I</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">purchased them, okay, I know it was! They are vintage cat show</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">ribbons from the 1960's and I thought that they were really pretty.</span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">are overflowing with all sorts of bits and pieces. It's probably time for</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's been a few weeks since I've blogged...about three to be exact! I </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">don't know where the time goes! I have been enjoying the spring</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">weather, although it has been unseasonally cold here in Utah this spring!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">So...to keep myself busy while I've been indoors more than I've wanted</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">to be, I added some more prints to my Angelina Wrona collection. I know</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">that these aren't for everyone...you either love them or hate them. Some</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">people think that they are too "dark", but I rather love them. They have</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">such a beautiful, haunting mood to them. These are just poster prints that</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">I purchased online. I tried a new poster company (Bare Walls) and I'm sorry</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">to say that the whole experience was a nightmare from start to finish. It</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">took me over a month to receive them. I think that I will stick to my tried</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">and trusted All Posters from now on. They never fail me!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today I am so delighted to share with you my collection of pieces from</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">one of my absolute <strong><span style="color: #741b47;"><u>FAVORITE</u></span></strong> artists around, Christie Repasy.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">Christie's work is truly unmatched and she has such an incredible gift of</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">painting such breathtaking florals and other vintage style artwork. Here</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">are a few of my favorite pieces that I am lucky enough to own...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">The picture above is in my office. I have three of her beautiful pieces</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">right above my desk that I look at every day while I'm working.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is a closer view of my shelf that I edited a few years ago. One of</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">Christie's pieces graces the top, a large silver rose bowl that I purchased</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">from Urban Barn in Canada sits on the second shelf and the bottom shelf</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">holds a few pieces of pink Fenton art glass and other treasures.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love looking at these while I'm working. I don't have any of Christie's </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">pieces in frames. They do look amazing framed, but I just love the</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">absolute simplicity of the canvas and seeing the art in its purest form.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Look at this amazing wooden waste basket. It's spectacular. I actually</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">don't use it for a waste basket. Sometimes I have large bunches of flowers</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">in it, others times it holds vintage wallpaper and sometimes it has nothing</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">at all in it. It really doesn't need anything, it's a piece of art unto itself!</span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These are two larger pieces that I have in my front sitting room. I have</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">had them on my wall here, with the same mirror in the center, for about</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">eight or nine years! I know what you're thinking...and I am not kidding!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">I used to be one of those people who moved things around in her house</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">every five minutes, but I'm just not like that anymore. I did attempt to</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">take them down once about three or four years ago and try something</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">different in this space and the change lasted, literally, for an afteroon!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">I just hated what I had done so everything came down and these went</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">back up. Why mess with success right?!</span></div>
