Nothing much new here l get on every day and read all your lovely posts and I am so enjoying the beautiful pictures you all are sharing of your pretty fall decorating, I hope to get some done this week as soon as it cools off some. We survived Hurricane Irene with a bit of water in the basement but NOTHING compared to my neighboring towns, oh my it is such a shame to watch and hear the horror stories, so heartbreaking:( Mother Nature is a force we should always pay more attention to. I hear that there is another Hurricane out there swamping Louisanna right now and we may see that one by sometime end of the week, and I know there are so many that just dont need any more rain to deal with, I hope this one misses upstate completely.</div><div>Thats all for now, thanks for letting me slip and I will try to be better with my blogging, I really do enjoy reading everyones stories every day</div><div> </div>NancyWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11590201687809720934noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904694069388871804.post-59040991246655840232011-02-16T13:25:00.000-08:002011-02-16T13:38:40.936-08:00Blog swap goodies<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Cocg13SiM_M/TVxDCj17ffI/AAAAAAAAADY/Kyii-Z-UiJM/s1600/swap.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574404150038068722" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Cocg13SiM_M/TVxDCj17ffI/AAAAAAAAADY/Kyii-Z-UiJM/s320/swap.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LxNJVTTwBA4/TVxC5BQjw-I/AAAAAAAAADQ/9Oi3zmr71yo/s1600/unwrapped.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574403986135696354" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LxNJVTTwBA4/TVxC5BQjw-I/AAAAAAAAADQ/9Oi3zmr71yo/s320/unwrapped.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div>Today I received my second blog gifts, these wonderful goodies were sent from Tammy Welman and we were in the 5 favorite things blog from The Pickled Pepper Patch blog.

I love all of them and truly appreciate the time and effort she put into making me the wonderful candle mat and the sweet little prim doll. I only wish I had some of her talent! The candle is a soy based candle from Southern Candle called Kentucky bourbon that smells so wonderful.

I have had it since early November, but incase you did not know I fell Nov. 8th and broke my leg/ankle in 3 places and honestly today was the first day I have had a chance to actually make my bed. Just started walking after 12 weeks in a wheelchair:(</div><div> LOVE the new bedding I got from Family Heirloom Weavers, there stuff is still USA made and it washes so very nice. I have 3 dogs that sleep in my room and 1 that sleeps on the bed with me and hubby:) so anything that looks nice and washes even better are number 1 in my book.</div><div>I also got the matching dressers from the same sale but do not have picture of them, they are in great shape as well. Trying to find something nice in a king size is very hard and especially whem you are looking for black and prim looking so I just HAD to have this when we saw the posting. It was less than a year old and the family was moving, so what a steal we got!</div><div>Still working on my blog swap goodies, making great progress just need a few more things to add. It was hard picking just 3-5 of my favorites I must say since I have so many!</div><div>Hope you enjoyed my new bed and bedding and have a great night!</div><div>Nancy</div>NancyWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11590201687809720934noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904694069388871804.post-85568797500227965132011-01-12T17:24:00.000-08:002011-01-12T17:43:45.465-08:00some of my favorite yard sale finds<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FUwF5W8lYC8/TS5W42FkeEI/AAAAAAAAACw/VBXu5iT4oVA/s1600/front.bmp"><img style="WIDTH: 150px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561478124440680514" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FUwF5W8lYC8/TS5W42FkeEI/AAAAAAAAACw/VBXu5iT4oVA/s200/front.bmp" /></a><br /><div>These are 2 pieces that greet you when you walk into my home and which I purchased this past summer during my yard sale days. The top piece is a wall cabinet taken from a very old house, the bottom piece is a dry sink complete with copper liner and slate top.</div><div>I hope to paint the bottom piece and prim it up a bit this spring. </div><br /><div>My hope is that maybe each week we can 1) each share a favorite piece that we have purchased for a great deal, either from a friend or a yard, tag, garage or at a show. And 2)share your finished product if you plan on changing it up a bit or how you plan on using it.</div><br /><div>With all this talent on these blogs everyone has a different approach to decorating and use of items. This way we can look at things differently and not pass up a piece because we dont know what to do with it......

I am trying so hard to get into the Christmas Spirit but I have to admit its just not there this year. 2 more weeks today till the cast come off (hopefully), My decorations are just not where I want them and I am forced to just deal with it, since hubby is just decorating challenged and he has all the other household chores to do so cant expect any more out of him.</div><br /><br /><div>I was able to get out to one of my favorite prim shops today, and bought the 3 small santa bersnickels, LOVE THEM! And I hope you notice my santa reading my favorite new magazine- A Primitive Place- tucked into my crock with some other items I have purchased from fellow bloggers.</div><br /><br /><div>I hope all of you have wonderful Holidays and please those of you that are getting loads of snow, KEEP it, thats how I fell and I dont need to break my other leg. </div><br /><br /><div>I have sooo enjoyed all the wonderful blogs you have shared and all the breathtaking pictures of your homes you have posted.

I decided to send another picture, this is my yellow lab Abby in front of my Christmas tree. Of course this is before she decided to remove one of my garlands (cranberry and popcorn) and eat all the popcorn! It was a purchased piece and im kinda bummed because I can not get out to get another. Many of you may already know, I fell Nov. 8 and broke my ankle, both the tibia and fibia and I am non weight bearing for 8 weeks, so here I sit in my wheelchair and enjoy all the lovely pictures you have posted. It has definitely helped me get into the Christmas spirit this year!

I live in upstate NY with my husband Rick of 26 years and have 3 children, ages 18, 22 and 24. I enjoy prim decorating and spend many fridays out tag saleing looking for the special piece. I love repurposing items with paint. It never ceases to amaze me how a simple paint job can totally turn a piece around, the more prim the better! I hope that when you stop by you will enjoy the posts! I look forward to meeting many of you and learning all about this bloggingNancyWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11590201687809720934noreply@blogger.com5
