Curtain Change

After hanging for nearly eight years in the guest bathroom window, it was time to change the curtain. It was beginning to look a little ragged around the edges. While I was shopping Kmart last week, I found a set I liked for 18 plus bucks but discovered to make it look like I wanted it to, I needed two - which meant shelling out another 18+ bucks - nah...not this lady!

I remembered a lovely flat sheet I picked up at a GW languishing in storage in a basket and, ta-da!

Here it is...cheap, resourceful, recycled!

What is it about white that always catches me! Even the light in the room is different!

Now I need to hunt through my collection of crocheted items to find a white piece that will fit the top of the window. I do love the design of the one that's there!

You may or not have noticed the new Linky Tool for followers on my side column. Blogger is going to eliminate Google Friend Connect and may also eliminate it from Blogger sometime. Is it important to know who is following you? Hummm...not necessarily, but it's interesting! 2805 explains this change much better than I can. I decided to add this feature early on rather than later.

You've Got Mail!

I opened an email to the happy news of being a winner for a giveaway!

Then I got a package in the mail with a lovely, handmade card.

I opened it to this!

 I almost missed the giveaway and really didn't expect to win at all...

happy, happy surprise!

THANK YOU, Jenni!

Jenni, I'm deeply sorry, but I deleted our conversation by accident VIA email and cannot give you the credit you deserve for this giveaway. I want to link back to your blog and hope you'll contact me again!

Last week I posted Sigh...

It was a very successful purge!

It now looks like this...

The table was a free find and outdoors in the rain. I was going to prettify it but decided to use it outdoor this summer for a prop in the garden.

Now I and the basement can breathe again! :)

All of these business men did fantastic work but more than that, they are trusted Christain men.

With the exception of the counter top installers, they also are friends of many years...

THANK YOU!
