" Objects of Desire "

Ever wonder why we love

what we love at first sight?

Does it linger for only a moment

or does it become our next forever?

This sweet vintage table 

just needed a little love.

After some sanding and two coats of 

paint she was ready for a spot

in the guest house.

{Paint color is Mystic Lake by Vista }

Later I stumbled upon

a small half of an old panel door

in the alley and simply

 could not resist her chippy glory.

It fit nicely upon

one of my Prairie Style tables we made

of reclaimed wood.

 I'm madly in love this week and

will be joining some of my favorite

lovelies in blog land.

" A walk in the clouds "

It seems like forever since I sat here and wrote

a blog post and in a small way it has been.

I have allowed the changes in my life to send me 

drifting and let the waves overcome me.

The ocean has thrashed me back and forth

over and over then end to end.

{ Linen and window treatments from the Goodwill Store }

Lord let this life of mine yield unto you

as you leave me with peace and serenity.

{ Vintage wood shutters rescued from the heap }

I junk when my heart is heavy

this weary soul of mine is uplifted by searching

for that one piece that will speak to me.

{ Old wire basket and glass bottles from Goodwill }

An open heart willing to listen and

 love not worrying about the imperfections.

Blessed I am by the unwanted

of another's heart here now

has a place to belong to me.

{ Vintage chandelier gifted to me }

Returning to where I started, where I belong

and where each of you found a place in my heart.

A new day awaits as I continue

to search, to grow and yield.

" Budget Style Prairie "

Budget Style Prairie

my heart filled with love...

I created this sweet area outside of

the tiny bathroom in my guest house.

  

A prairie style table

built from an old wood gate along with 4 x4 's

that were rescued.

I did a wash of gray and pale white

paint on top of the boards

to gift it a softness.

Then distressed to a finish with 80 grit sandpaper.

I placed a chalkboard that I made

from a vintage baking pan

to leave a love note...

I left the old hinges on

for added character and charm...

" Lessons in Love "

A lesson in love...

I came to know the beauty

of what love truly is...

 Love that will endure all things...

A heart that is and always will be yours...

 I am here

among the beauty of love that God

has given to take me through the valleys of life.

I am so grateful and humbled by 

the love of each of you.

May this New year be filled 

with an abundance of blessings for your lives.

I will be linking up this week with

my favorite lovelies in blog land.
