She and Sue were chatting when I came walking up to find Sue and Kathleen recognized me from my blog "imagine that" I was tickled! She is the most loving in person and really adorable. I also met her darling daughter Nicole. We spent some time chatting and visiting while she was so gracious enough to let my hubby tease her with his silly jokes. We got so caught up in girl time we forgot to take a photo together.
Ok so about free stuff, I love it when neighbors leave stuff on the curb! I was inspired this week as my little Gracie wanted to work on a project. So we grabbed this old cabinet from the curb and after shopping the house we turned it into this...
first we removed the door, then my little Gracie started scrubbing
isn't she cute
the we tea stained pages from an old book
and added photo copied birds from old cards
then some good old modge podge was added
she really had fun doing this all by herself
then we looked for items we had to put in the cabinet
Gracie did such a great job I think this will head over to
to display some of my smaller items on the back porch.
"on a very Happy Note"
I met this sweet friend at Country Roads
when she " I spied" an item in my space and came to pick it up.
Now if I could only meet my inspiration and dear friend Polly, my Sweet Ana, The Texas Darling Anne, and Uber Talented Cindy
that would have my heart singing for days to come...
love to all of you
simply me kate xoxo

Oh my, lots of cuteness in this post! First, Gracie is simply darling...she is certainly a replica of her momma! And, the curbside cabinet could not get any cuter after you girls worked your magic! You are so blessed to have Gracie as your forever companion!
I hope that we will meet one day Kate! That would be wonderful!
Happy St. Patrick's Day and White Wednesday!

Your Gracie is a chip of the ole block in more ways than one! How awesome is this? I can't believe she did that all by herself at her age!
And I soooo wish we could meet sometime soon too...I'm not too far from Polly, and hope to make a road trip to her place this summer, but to see you I'd need to face my biggest fear...AIRPLANES! Yikes. But for you....and a bit o'cash...I just might surprise you :)
*smooches*
Beautiful....like mommy, like daughter!!
Happy day!

Oh how great it must have been to a girls day out. It sounds like you all had a great time.
I love your curbside rescue. Your Gracie is so beautiful and talented. Your should definitely keep your talents going, because once they are teenagers, they can tend to stray away from them. You know get a mind of their own :)
Have a wonderful week.
That little Gracie is amazing ~ I wonder where she gets it from????? Lovely curio & collection ~ curbside finds are the best.
your daughter...beautiful and talented, like her mama! oh, that cabinet you created is so amazing. i couldn't b it. i wish you lived closer, i would ask you to come by and create super charming things from my uncharming things;)

Well I certianly know where she gets her talents from!! :) the cabinet is darling, and so is she. It was so nice to meet you Kate and I do hope that you get to meet all of the other ladies on your list...CR has been really good to you and that makes my heart sing! :)
That is a fantastic redo! I love that you used the vintage images of the birds and not just wallpaper. So pretty. Gracie is a adorable helper too! I have a little helper too, a 5 yr old son.

I love your cubbie of treasures. So sorry to hear you're having a tuff day. I'll be thinking of you and hoping the treasures you find "in his pants" are worth it! You made me laugh out loud and my kids ran over saying whats so funny, thanks! Hang in there!

gracie did a great job!! you taught her well my friend. bought the paint yesterday, i will take pics when i am finished. i remember the "old days" of rearranging our hses together =)
Why do people throw such things away? Their loss is your gain. Gracie is so adorable and a great little crafty designer. Something so plain turned into quite a beauty. Great work. Have a fabulous day! :) Tammy
Awww, your sweet baby girl is just as gorgeous as her mama! And tell her GREAT JOB with the Mod Podge, too!
How fun to meet Kathleen, meeting blog friends is the best, isn't it? I would love nothing more than to meet you, too!
Love,
Anne
Kate, your little sweetie pie looks just like you and now we see she's just as talented. How wonderful that you could spend that time with her to see her create and find pride and fulfillment in her work. Good momma!
hugs and blessings,
Debra
