celebrating with a TRIFECTA GIVEAWAY!

we're REALLY HAPPY 
to be making progress here...

our possessions all came back & 
we're getting them unpacked &
 put where they belong...

I won't bore you with house photos...
we still have a LONGGG way to go...
(who bought all this stuff?)

so here are just 2...

a little *vignette* area next to the fireplace...


and a small shot of the dining area...

I collect vintage blue graniteware...

we had it displayed until the last redo, 
about 4 years ago...

I got tired of it...
& packed it all away...

now I'm happy to see it again...




to celebrate being home...
and to THANK YOU for your patience &
 my LACK of art...

I'm having a GIANT GIVEAWAY...

    Wow, thanks so, so very much for this giveaway and for a chance to win some of your amazing products. It's very generous of you. I wish all of us "Good Luck". Btw, I've been meaning to tell you how much I absolutely adore the "Blossom Bucket" embellishments. They are so much fun to add as an accent to artwork. They also have such a "home spun" feel to them, they are all very warm. They add a sweet, home style feeling to any project. I just thought I''d tell you. Take care and don't work too hard.
