I'm drawn to this crackel, shabby looking finish...and the fact that it's the most amazing shade of pale pink...

Holding Cards and Magazines...and looking Good doing it!

  8. Wow! It's beautiful!! It looks SO good in your living room!! What a great find, indead. I love the pleasant colors you've chosen for that room- our rooms are almost always darker earthy tones (which is cozy a night or during winter) but aroudn this time of year, I just want everything to be LIGHT!

  14. Hi Kathy,
    Did I ever tell you we have the same white tables. I think I did, anyway I have the coffee table and two side tables. I love them!. I sure do love your colors and your windows are so pretty. I have always wanted windows like that. Gary and I have been house hunting for three weeks now, we think we have found one we really like, tomorrow we will look at one more.
    We have the same style and likes. No wonder I enjoy your blog so much!.
    Take care and enjoy your weekend,
    Hugs, Elizabeth

  19. Your pot is wonderful. When I saw your title I immediately thought of the author Patsy Clairmont. She has a book entitled God uses Cracked Pots. She is amazing...just like the crackles on your new pot! Enjoy!

  24. Hi Kathy,
    Love your spring look, it is refreshing and delightful and so lovely. I love white creamers and pitchers as well. Your mantel looks great,
    I put mine on my fireplace too, cause that is where they show up the best. Can't wait to get my walls painted yellow cause then they will show up anywhere. I don't know what it is about white things but I absolutely adore them.
    Looks like you have been having a springer sizing good times.
    I think it is suppose to be in the 70's this week, so think I am gonna work in the yard this week since the house is already clean, and start my springer sizing next week maybe.
    Seeing your refreshingly cool looking home has inspired those latent springer sizing feelings for sure!! lol
    Hope you and Dave are doing well hon,
    Blessings, Nellie

  27. How beautiful it looks in your amazing room. You should never pass up anything you fall in love with. One lady I know has the mantra..."See it, Want it, Buy it!" What a concept.
