Make Me Beautiful 2

Dear Friends

After the second repurpose  of the Armoire, I was left with the center piece that stared at me each day behind the front door.  It kept staring at me screaming "Make Me Beautiful 2!"  Yes, this is the second repurpose of this piece and I decided to make it multipurpose.

Testmonial

Dear Friends

This blog post is a Testimonial for my Fairy Blog Mother, Linda.  But honestly it's really two part. You see, I started my blog as you already know after my mom died, I lost my job and became an empty nester. I've decided to put that behind me and going forward my blog is going to be about the future and a soon to be 55 year old blogger making the world more beautiful.

Friday Goodwill Find:Galvanized Bucket

Dear Friends

My Friday Goodwill Find is a galvanized bucket which I will be gifting to my daughter. Something about galvanized just doesn't fit into my shabby decor but yes I know it's all the rage for "Farmhouse" which my daughter loves. 

Enchanted Moments

Dear Friends

Happy Valentines Day!  I signed up for a Love Is In The Air magazine challenge.  The challenge was to create a magazine cover as if it were one I would create.  I did this with the help of my daughter, Jessica.  She's always known one of my bucket list is to appear on a magazine cover.  Well, I must say this bucket list has been accomplished.  No, it's not on news stands or grocery store shelves but something I never knew I could do.  Thank you Katherine for the invitation and I'm sure this will be a beautiful blog tour.  The winner of my blog anniversary give away....NanaDiana!

 

Friday Goodwill Find:Shabby Cuff Bracelet

Dear Friends

Can you believe I'm still re-purposing from that velvet blouse.  Puffy hearts to a beautiful cuff bracelet, I will wear Valentines Day and through out the year.  Everything is re-purposed, the cuff, the lace from a ugly moo moo my loving man didn't like and a pearl bracelet with broken strands.

Love is in the air and Cupid and Saint Valentine have a special surprise Valentines Day, including my give away for my blog anniversary.  Please leave a comment if you like on my Saving Grace post! Stay tuned for my Valentines Day Post!

Chocolate Charms

Dear Friends

Yes, this is the month of romance!  Valentine's Day and I'm sharing my first chocolate charms.  I've been in the kitchen knowing the way to my Loving Mans heart.  Chocolate, it is the true food of Love!  A Little Chocolate history, in 1849 the Cadbury brothers created the first box of chocolate.  They also created the very first heart shaped box of chocolate.  My friend Claudia let me borrow these chocolate molds and these are my first chocolate charms.  I'm no Cadbury brother but every woman knows the way to her Loving Mans Heart!  I think they are so pretty and my Loving Man will enjoy one at a time during the month of Romance.  I also bought some ruffled pink carnations for myself and created a Valentines vignette for the kitchen.  I hope Cupid is abound at your abode!  You know he has arrows, right!
