And welcome to the 11 new anonymous followers and the 80 new subscribers!  Can't tell you how much I appreciate your visits here:)  And please do leave me a comment sometime to introduce yourself ...I'm kooky, but pretty nice most days.  Except when I have to delete links from the Mi4M party.  Oy.


As for questions, I had tons regarding the bedding and such in these pictures from this post:



Many of it was clearanced or found at TJMarshalls (can never remember which one), but I added links if they're still available.

The paint: Reflection by Devine Paints (in her Tide Pools Collection)
Floral and Stripe quilted sham: found at TJMarshalls (it was a long time ago, and I was never able to find more than just this one.)
Pale Aqua floral quilted sham: Walmart here (BHGardens)
Tan plaid: TJMarshalls (actually a bedskirt from Ralph Lauren's Prairie Plains Collection, still found on EBAY HERE)
Aqua stripe blanket: 4 yards of HEAVY fabric from JoAnn's (it was clearanced out 9 months or so ago, so not sure it's still available, might have been Christopher Lowell.)
Tan and Floral Pillows: Fabric from Hancock's (no identification, and it was on the flat fold table, got it back in the winter)
Shirred Pillow: I got nuthin'  Can't remember.  Maybe Target's Simply Shabby Chic?
Pale Aqua Quilt: TJMarshalls (it's over 3 years old)

I've also had many emails about my home situation, and though it's been a pretty emotional roller coaster ride, we're doing a little better each day.  Working on home projects, blogging and homeschooling have helped to keep life ticking away and bring welcome breaks from the chaos. I will write a brief post soon with a bit more detail, but for now, thank you SO MUCH for your care and concern for my family.


And this weeks FaVoRiTe CoMmEnT came from GRAMS regarding my distressed dresser:

Girl, that is FAB-U-LUST!! I want it! It's on wheels so just put a note on it and send it down the interstate. It'll get here eventually and a little more wear and weather will only make it better.
Your boys are great. I love random odd behavior. 


Janis is HILARIOUS, and her home projects are incredible...like THIS and THIS and THIS.  I know.  She's quite the stripper, eh?  *snort*  Go visit her for inspiration and wicked humor.  I totally want to be her when I grow up.  She's like the coolest gramma evah.

Okie doke.  I think that about covers it.  Don't forget to get your BLUE & BROWN ever-lovin' projects ready for the shindig on the 22nd...and feel free to add the button to your sidebar to help advertise.  The code thingy is up in my sidebar....fiddle dee dee.

*squeals* Thank you for being my first follower that is not genetically required to be my friend! Hope to see you around!

Brenda Pruitt said...

Well hon, I must have been under a rock! I seem to have missed all the stuff going on. We need to form a club for women with poor decision-making skills. I'd be at the top of that list! Well, tie another knot in your rope and hang on. That advice was given to me by a dear late friend. And I've heeded it ever since.
