Warm and Cozy

Hop on over to

"Between Naps On The Porch"

to see all of today's wonderful creations.

Lets just sit down and have a simple

warm and cozy dinner.

On a night like this what else can you do? Make a little comfort food and have dinner by the fire. I used my library table to set a table for two, covered the chairs with white chair covers, used a large white table cloth for the library table, then ran a fabric remnant I have saved for years across the table to define my place settings. The remnant has the same color pallet as the china I am using. My gold chargers, you have seen many times. A black coffee server, the amber glasses I have used before.

I used gold flatware, handmade gold wool

napkin rings, white napkins and lunch plates

rather than a large dinner plate. Have to do

better after the Holidays on the serving size!

This is a set of china I found at a garage sale,

the last one I went to last year, a place setting

for six. No special marking, but I did like

the colors used in the pattern. I just thought it

looked like a fall and winter pattern.

A view just before dark.

OK, did you see my blooper?

I forgot to move my candle sniffer.

I realized it once I had all my picture loaded.

I was not going back for a redo, had my lighting

somewhat descent for once, but we all know

it shouldn't be there.

I hope you enjoyed your visit.

Don't forget to let me know what you think.

Bye For Now,

2nd Time Around Tuesday

This is the first time I have participated

in 2nd Time Around Tuesday hosted by

Diane at "A Picture is Worth a 1,000 Words".

Be sure to hop over and check out all the goodies,

you are sure to find there.

"Thanks" Diane for hosting this party.

This was my little bounty from the last yard

sale I went to in the fall.

These two lamps, which for the moment I am

using in my family room.

A place setting for eight of these blue metal

dishes. The lady selling these told me she had

bought them for her son to take to collage.

They looked as though they had never been

used. I thought they might make a cute

tablescape. Originally when I asked the price

she told me $3.00 for this set and .10 for

each of the other dishes she had.

My kind of sale!!!

Four milk glass plates, four small white dinner

plates and this china for a grand total of

$15.00. Better to buy in bulk, especially since

I won't see another yard sale for several months.

No special markings on the china, I just thought

the pattern was pretty. I used it in my tablescape

this week. The milk glass I gave to my Daughter

since she collects it.

Well I hope I didn't bore you tooo much with my

last bounty of 2009. I'm looking forward to

spring and finding more treasures.

Thanks for letting me join in, I can't wait to see all the other goodies waiting

out in blog land.

Please don't forget to let me know what you

think.

Bye For Now,

More Than Enough Snow!!!!

I'm joining Susan at

"Between Naps On The Porch"

for Metamorphosis Monday.

Be sure to drop by and visit with

all of today's participates.

It's been a while since I have posted

anything. Not only were the Holidays

super busy, but throw in a wind storm,

major snow storm, state of emergency,

loss of electricity, loss of all food twice

and that really throws a girl off schedule!

We are talking six days with out electricity,

less than a week before Chritmas!

Just a few pictures before I show my

makeover!

This is what we woke up to one week before

Christmas, fifteen inches of heavy wet snow!

We lost several very old trees due to the

weight of the snow. My little deer and pond were well hidden.

But look at the bright side of things.

This was only the first day of no electricity

for the teenager.

Trust me she was not this creative the other

days!!!!

Now for my make over!

While cruising Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago,

I saw a mirror that caught my eye.

I already had a mirror from the thrift store

and had already painted it black, so I

picked up this paper.

My thrift store mirror.

The little shelf was also a thrift store find, sorry

my S is upside down. A little black ribbon

thrown into the mix.

My version of the Hobby Lobby mirror.

You can also see the ugly ceiling fan that

Mr. Copper~N~Things thinks is a necessity

in the room, NOT. Trust me it will be

leaving, even if I have to change the

fixtures myself. I'm a little afraid of

the electrical stuff, but a girl can learn!

Thanks for stopping by, I apologize if I failed

to get back to anyone, after my last post.

I hope to get back into the swing of things

this week. I had allot of time to just sit and

think of things I would like to do.

Bye For Now,

Sandy
