White Wednesday

Just a note to let you know that I am out of town for a few weeks. The internet connection here is limited and will not allow me to post photos to Blogger. (I have no idea why) So I guess I will have to be happy just looking at all your beautiful whites. I plan on posting to White Wednesday after I am home again. See you all then.

White Wednesday

I started my fall decorating yesterday. Thought I would share a little.

And as before, if you head over to Faded Charm

Kathleen will introduce you to all the other White Wednesday folks. Have fun!

My Blog Facelift

You may have noticed that I have changed the look of my blog. I thought it was time for a facelift. I had a lot of fun with it and help from Karen at The Background Fairy. She was very kind and allowed me to share some of her graphics with you. She has just about anything you might need to spruce up your blog. Karen is a very talented graphic designer.

The Graphics Fairy is Karen's other site where you will find free images and clipart.

Thank you Karen.

Fabulous Giveaway

If you happen to love anything pink, sparkley or just plain pretty (and who doesn't) head over the M's blog - Tales from an OC Cottage . She is offering probably the largest, most generous giveaway EVER! And as long as you are there, read her other posts. A very funny sense of humour and eye candy that goes on forever.

White Wednesday

This is me doing the happy dance. ;)

I have had my eye on this fireplace for over 2 years, but it was much too expensive. We waited patiently for the store to put it on sale, and last week was our lucky day!
It fits perfectly in our dining room but you can still enjoy it from the living room, too.

Notice the complete lack of decor on the mantle. I have no idea how to stage it. Does anyone know of any good websites on how to decorate a fireplace? If you do, PLEASE leave the link in the comments or email me. I would so much appreciate any help or suggestions.

I can't wait to decorate it for fall.

Here is a closer shot of some of the detail.

My little fireplace is electric, it came with a remote control. lol

It is going to be so nice and warm here this winter.

Don't forget to check out the other posts for White Wednesday. There are new blogs being added every week.

White Wednesday/Thrift Store Thursday

Don't you just love the excitement and anticipation of a 'mystery bag' from the Thrift Store?

What treasures will you find inside? What creative projects will you be able to make? Where did this piece of lace come from, and who wore it? I'm sure it was a special occasion.
Lace AND pearls! Fabulous.

I hope you are enjoying White Wednesday. Thank you once again to our hostess, Kathleen at Faded Charm.
