I've been buying books just for their pastel jackets lately at the thrifts....do you do that?
A good read....pearls and an old key.........likeable things.
Yes...I did make the house quilt....
Years ago on a business trip with my man.
He took care of business while I sewed in our hotel room...
You can get a lot done with no interruptions!!!!
There you have the $15.00 shabby bench...
of course it helps to have a talented husband too!
Makin my world a little Shabbier....one day at a time.
xoxo~Kathy.

Kathy I love the books and the quilt. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your bench is gorgeous...all shabby and wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI was just wondering...does your carpenter need another wife? I am in desperate need of a carpenter that can read my mind;?!
Have a wonderful evening!

You both did a fantastic job! I love the bench and I love the way you accessorized it even more! I like the shells in the jar and I like the idea of buying pastel coloured books. I never thought of that, thanks for the idea!

Dear Kathy...Oh my. The bench is awesome. Love the quilt, too. Just read about your husband's surgery and fight against cancer. I am so glad the chemo treatments have been successful in shrinking the tumors. I know how brutal that process can be so I'm so glad it's over. Also, that surgery was perfomed. May God continuye to bless you both and see you through this major storm of life.
