Hello::


                               The primroses made me smile yesterday afternoon while, I was shopping at the garden center. So, in my cart they went. You know me, old black thumb. I'm sure they won't last for very long. Don't they make you happy? Have a wonderful weekend. I'm working on two projects right now, that have deadlines. So, I'm signing off with this one thought for today........... enjoy the little things!

Vintage Wallpaper::

                                Remember, designing a Home around this?
      Remember the days when we couldn't wait to wallpaper a room in our homes? Or, remember those days of not being able to wait to take it down? I remember it all too well. Frankly, I'm glad I'm over it! Until, I saw these rolls at the thrift shop calling me. No, I'm NOT about to wallpaper. Here are some ideas for using vintage wallpaper rolls: wrapping paper, book covers, collage, card making, dresser draw liners, coasters and valentines.  Hey, why not recycle those unwanted rolls? Oh, no I hear another project coming.... we shall see!
      Speaking of projects. Thank you for all those great comments about the shade. You guys rock! Yes, I'm going to finish it now. I'll show and share at the end of the week ;)

         Thanks for stopping by.......Time for me to get din, din started!

Lamp Shade DIY::

      It's  time to work on that vintage regency lamp. A  purchase that was made weeks ago thrifting. You know.. I brought it home with the dome? At the time, I was more excited about the dome. Now, I need a shade for this beauty of a lamp. Here's a sneak peek of this no sew project. My inspiration came a calling from Pinterest. I like to give credit where credit is do. I'm not sure if I'm happy with the beginnings. Help! What do you think? Should I continue? Try different patterns of lace? I'm stuck. So, for now I'll sit and stare at it. Ha, Ha. Till, I hear what the consensus is. Thanks guys ;)
                           Make it a great Sunday Folks!
