I don't know how I let 3 years go by without a single post. Oh my. I did love blogging. I can do it again. I know that blogging has evolved since I started and I want to evolve as well. I am considering starting again. Perhaps with a new image or a business model?<br />
When I jumped in 6 years ago I really didn't know what I was doing or why I was doing it. I just knew I liked doing it! <br />
So if any of you have some sound advise or suggestions for me I would love some feedback. <br />
I remember when I stumbled onto the world of blogging. I wanted to refinish/paint some furniture I had bought on Craigslist, so I googled how to "refinish" furniture. I stumbled onto a blog or two and that was it. I was smitten! Or maybe it was a curse?<br />
Now there is Facebook, Instagram, Etsy, Twitter, but really in blog land there is more so much more. On a blog you can really get to know someone, well at least the parts they want you to know. But you can get a sense if their personality, their design sense, their talents, and you can identify with them in some way. That is the part I like. The comments, the words that can reach across the miles, sometimes they mean so much. And the inspiration I get from many of you out there, like from Kim at Savvysouthernstyle and Rhoda at southernhospitality, these 2 lady's have evolved and they have made a career and a <span id="goog_1665272931"></span><span id="goog_1665272932"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a>way if life, that not only benefits them but many others they come in contact with. Now there is some inspiration. Rhoda was there in the beginning and she was so kind to encourage me and give some pointers. I will always be grateful to her for that.<br />
So I digress, I'm going to jump back into this world of blogging. Wish me luck!<br />

Well I happened upon 2 plates and a bowl at the GW, I spotted then on the bottom shelf and swooped down on them like a vulture on it’s prey. The cost for each piece!!! Wait for it… 0.59 cents each!!! I know they are yellow and you don’t usually see them in yellow, but I think they are beautiful and yellow happens to be one of my colors.<br />

This was also found on the same day, I paid a little more than I wanted, but it won me over with the sweet little feet on the bottom and the lid with its lidded top. It was $3.99.<br />

This is something I have had in a drawer for a few years , finally I painted that part of the kitchen so I could go ahead and hang them. The spoons were a gift from my SIL, the holder I happened upon at the hospital gift shop, perfect score.<br />

<blockquote>Yes I know I haven’t been posting forever, I still check in on my favorite bloggers from time to time. Hopefully life will slow down, but not looking like it will anytime soon. My parents are moving from out of state to live just a few miles away from me. I still work full time and our 2 son’s (20 and 24) are still close and need our time and attention and money.<br />
So I will post when I can.</blockquote>Marlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04431790475895461903noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123083347051514430.post-26681963735896624652010-09-25T21:23:00.001-04:002010-09-25T21:23:11.116-04:00Before and After, Welcome<p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_V8OKsDjak7I/TJ6gaCmMNNI/AAAAAAAAC2I/P04tkYzgdJg/s1600-h/door%20001%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="door 001" border="0" alt="door 001" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_V8OKsDjak7I/TJ6gagCH03I/AAAAAAAAC2M/lndURgqemzc/door%20001_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="273" height="484" /></a> </p> <p>This is what our front door has been since we bought the house 4 years ago, white is okay, but it shows everything and always getting dirty and buggy, this is Florida.</p> <p>So Hubby and I decided to change it up.  I took him to Home Depot with me, figured he would have to like it if I let him pick the color, we knew we wanted blue, I thinking something dark and subdued, he thinking blue, like University of Florida, blue.  So he and the paint guy have this conversation and well Home Depot has all the college colors, soooo.  To make this story shorter I painted two coats of Florida Blue on the front door, and well lets just say it was visible from Florida Field, our front door was glowing!!  Even Hubby didn’t like it.</p> <p>So I returned to Home Depot <u>by myself</u> and found a better shade of blue, don’t you think?

<br />
I found a website called <em><a href="http://www.backofthebox.com/recipes/desserts/original-nilla-banana-pudding-g.html">Back of the Box</a>, </em>have you ever visited this site? I found the original <em>Nilla </em>banana pudding recipe. I have made it before using the recipe on the back of the box. But my Nilla Wafer box did not have the recipe. Go figure. <br />

Yummy! It is always better when you make it this way, from scratch on the double boiler. This is how my MIL always makes it, it is a family tradition.<br />
This will be consumed during the Florida-Tennessee game tomorrow!

Between my husbands parent and my parents and adult children who refuse to grow up, we have had our hands full. Anyone relate? <br />
I had a good time puttering a little prior to my parents recent visit with us. Also pulled out a bunch of stuff and sold some in a garage sale the rest went to the GW.<br />

I should have taken better pictures of them. They are Waverly chair covers, I found 2 of them at the GW for $5. Later I found 2 of them on Ebay and won them for $40. They are some of my favorite things.<br />

It has been way too hot here to really feel like fall yet, although with football in full swing it sort of feels like it is just around the corner.<br />

I recently took the time to really look at my mom’s china, I grew up with most of it and loved and cherished it then, but memories fade. Looking at them again made me feel like a was a child again, all the memories of growing up are intermingled with these dishes and home. These Franciscan Ivy dishes were our “special” dishes and were used for company, on Sabbath and for celebrations like graduations, Christmas you know..<br />

This is hand cut piece of crystal, very heavy, I think it is a sugar dish resting in a small bowl.<br />

Found this white ironstone cannister thingy at the GW recently for $2.99, it was in my basket one day and I put it back, then went home and continued to think about it, well went back the next day and luckily it was still there, 2 of the rolling pins were also found at the GW months ago.<br />

What do you think, does this qualify for "Woo Hoo Wednesday" Marla? I think it is pretty wonderful and it is going to look so good in my bedroom redo. The toile fabric was a kinda narrow width and I was afraid I wouldn't get to use it, but with some stretching and strategic placement I made it work. I think it so beautiful. Oops now I am bragging. </a> <br />

I love this pot with the bale blue Lobelia, it just keeps blooming and blooming. The lantern I picked up at Ross a few weeks ago for $8.99 on clearance. The birdie is a $.50 treasure from the thrift store. You can see the blue Florida rug peeking in the corner, yes that is for my hubby, he's nuts over the Florida Gators! Can't blame him it is his home town team and all!

I honestly thought I would be a good girl this last couple of weeks and stay away from the GW. I have really got to curb my obsession. I need and want to stay home on my days off and get some projects finished at home.<br />
So as usual on my way to somewhere else my car just decides to take a little side trip and next thing I know I am in the parking lot at the GW. Oh brother, this is a sickness.<br />

Found these great dessert dishes and one small bowl, they were all $.99 each.<br />

Ok this tea cup was all alone on the shelf and I had this yellow saucer at home already, they needed to be together. The teacup was $1.99, the saucer I got a while ago for $.59. A match for sure.<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_V8OKsDjak7I/S_CWySUssdI/AAAAAAAACi8/cwEp6EKOlCU/s1600-h/bloggy304.jpg"><img alt="bloggy 30" border="0" height="226" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_V8OKsDjak7I/S_CWy3wDviI/AAAAAAAACjA/Sa6LqBOrbvs/bloggy30_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline;" title="bloggy 30" width="404" /></a> <br />

Ok this sweet cup and saucer were $2.59 or something like that also at the Hospice attic, I just thought it was so precious, had to come home with me. the picture below is the other side of the cup. <br />

Ok these things are an impromptu gathering of some items I have been collecting in anticipation of changing some things in our Master. I have to paint the walls in there and then my transformation can begin. Very soon I hope.<br />

The white urn, the aqua blanket, the basket, the ceramics bowls and the platter are all thrifty finds. I am going for aqua blue and browns and creams in the bedroom and bath.<br />

The bowls are the most recent finds, the floral one was $.25 and the ruffled one $.59. The platter I bought at Marshall’s for $2.99. The leather like box under the bowls a thrifty gW find from months ago.<br />
<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_V8OKsDjak7I/S_CW1s9U7JI/AAAAAAAACjk/hYU4X6g-HI8/s1600-h/bloggy493.jpg"><img alt="bloggy 49" border="0" height="226" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_V8OKsDjak7I/S_CW2I9kmoI/AAAAAAAACjo/wfDdiLdoRAE/bloggy49_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline;" title="bloggy 49" width="404" /></a> <br />

This bowl is so pretty, don’t you think? <br />
Ok this is sort of a thrifty find, I bought it before Easter at Ross. It was $39. I have gotten oodles of compliments from everybody. It is my perfect summer bag and goes with everything just about.<br />
