I hope your friday has been a good one so far and that the weekend is even better...I was up early to take my next door neighbor to the doctors for her little boys 2 week check up..he is doing well.but had to get blood drawn from the heel of his little foot..ticked him right off...Came home and went grocery shopping and picked her up some stuff to have as I know she isn't getting out too much yet and her DH just left for sea..so that is tough and I didn't mind helping out...been there got the T-shirt!!! 17 times..so glad we are not doing the military thing any longer..glad we did it..but so glad we are retired now..Hubby is home with a ripped patella in his knee..can't walk worth a crap..so I am the nurse maid...so no work till Tuesday and hopefully he can walk by then..its an L&I..so he will be downstairs playing on his Play station..while I sew..might even pull out that front garden I have been threatening to do..the weather these next 2 weeks..(keeping fingers crossed) is going to be nice so I am taking advantage of it..gotta keep the yard work up..or its a nightmare to take care..I know you all know what I am talking about...:) My best friend Kimmy is making curtains with the above fabric that I ordered for her online...it was on ebay and it is going to match her cottage kitchen and look so cute..i can't wait to see how they turn out...she is making them for her french doors..will be going to her place to play/sew on tuesday and am taking my camera so I can share her wonderful kitchen with you all..she just painted it again and changed the color of the cabinets too..and I love it sooooo much better this time..She's not computer savvy..so I told her I would order it for her..:)
and guess what else came in the mail for me today..HOLY COW!! thats one big box..I couldn't figure out what it was..cause I knew I hadn't ordered anything..and then it hit me..
This thing is huge and going up by my wood stove..Kimmy went to the thrift store yesterday and got me 2 bowls to put in it..and I have 2 of those wooden pineapples that are all over..I gotta paint them up and they will go there too..gotta figure out what else I can put in this to fill it up..so any suggestions would be nice...Carol Thank you so much for this generous giveaway....I love it!!!! and can't wait to show you all how it looks...I put it up by the wall to see how it will look..and it just adds to the prim/country look of my home..:) well that is it for me..I am tired...but doing well..no complaints here...I hope you all have a wonderful weekend in what ever you do..;)

  3. That is awesome fabric Gina, I bet it will be cute for Kimmy's cottage.
    I love the dough bowl rack. How about some granite ware plates or bowls. I have a few I think I could part with if ya don't have any. I have a awesome pie pan. Maybe we can do a swap?
    That is so nice that you are helping the new Mom. So hard to be alone so soon after the little one has showed up. I know that one all too well.
    Have a great day. Hope the weather holds nice for us. Rained her today.

    Bless your heart for helping your neighbor. You will be rewarded:)
    That is one nice lookin' bowl keep! You could put an olde bread board or cutting board in that thing and hang some ole textile fabrics and bonnets on it too. I'll be patiently awaiting those pics of it decorated in all its' primitive splendor. LOL.
