{Happy Resurrection Day}

I hope that you all have enjoyed this beautiful Easter Sunday. He is risen! I wanted to end the month of March in sharing a few of my favorite photos from the month.  Celebrated my favorite grandsons birthday. Conner is 18 now!  Our beautiful Mallory Grace all decked out for the prom. The youngest grands (sisters) were flower girls in their uncle's wedding. The oldest one was in her element of dress up. The younger one, not so much. THAT HAIR BAND ITCHED HER HEAD she said!  I purchased a new pair of wedges that I love. I am always skeptical about ordering shoes or clothing but read the reviews on Amazon and went for it. Love the color and the style.  The youngest grand loves to take selfies and play with the filters.  Marty colored Easter eggs. He always colors at least a dozen every year. He always says he's doing it for the grands but I know he does it because of the inner child in him! LOL! I went with the little ones to Disney on Ice and we had the best time. I think I enjo

Make Me Smile Monday-Charming Country Finds

There is always something to smile about even if it's on a day that you might not feel like smiling...right?

Several friends and I gathered at one our friends homes recently and though I didn't have the opportunity to snap as many pictures as I'd like I did want to share a few with you.

LOVE her style....Isn't this the cutest? The girl is just one little crafty gal.


This was one side of her mantle above her fireplace.Check out the old metal fan.


This was the other side of mantel above her fireplace. Not sure what I like best, the sunflower or the red lantern!


 This was in the center wall above her fireplace. SPEAKS SUMMER don't ya think?


In full view...just so cute! Isn't the boat paddle too cute?


One of my favorite pieces. A cornered hutch and so rustic and vintage.


I love everything about this. The simplicity but yet attention to detail. Check those lampshades out!


 And I am going to be totally honest....the kitchen is where I spend most of my time so I was IN LOVE with her beautiful kitchen. Looked like something out of a magazine.






Just lovely....Look real closely and tell me what significant vintage piece you see.

I really liked these plates. I am not sure if she had any missing when I left or not! LOL!


Just too cute.



Her guest bathroom was so pretty. I feel in love with her ladder laying on her shower curtain with a burlap bow and grapevine coming down the side.


Darling corner decor.

My favorite piece in the guest bathroom was this and I am making one now for my youngest daughter's class room at school. She has an opened space close to where the children wash and dry their hands and I needed some little something to go there. THIS WOULD BE PERFECT!


 Meet my friend Lauren. She loves buying things and refurbish them. She hunts for and finds some of the neatest things ever. Has an eye for finding a needle in a haystack so to say. She works out of her home and is on Facebook, listed as Charming Country Finds. Go visit her if you are on FB. Just say hi.



Sharing some of Lauren's great finds has truly made me smile! Hope it brought a smile to you today my friend.
Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    I loved going on the tour with you! That is a sweet home. The significant piece on the cornered hutch? The old photo in a vintage frame. Loved it all. What an inspiration. Time to head to the garage and dig through my stuff and make some changes in my home!

Hiding the Ugly Hot Water Heater

 I shared that I wanted to hide my ugly hot water heater in my laundry room with you a few weeks ago. It just stuck out like a sore thumb. But after all it is a hot water heater right? So my man took a piece of wood (not real wood) but it worked and built a frame for me. So now to see if it would fit and it did. I painted it white and did not like the texture it had even after two coats of white. (rule of thumb...you get what you pay for and the wood was cheap) But I wasn't going to let it whip me!  Found some contact paper at Walmart in the gray and white. Covered the front with the contact paper and loved the look. The top was covered with a piece of painted wood as well and worked perfect to place this on top... And this.... Added a clothes basket in the corner and here was the top.... Yep, no longer an eye sore to me! Went perfect with my gray walls and gray and white floor. Remember the wood tray I bought at a yard

{Happy 46th Wedding Anniversary To Us}

  Happy October everyone! I wanted to pop in today and share a few pictures. Marty and I celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary on September 23.  Oh it seems so long ago that we said "I Do". We started dating when I was 16. Married at 18 and began a family at 20. Needless to say we have surely grown up together. Praise the Lord that we are growing "Older" together.  We decided since it had been about 8-9 years since we had been to Savannah, Ga. that we would take a weekend there and just enjoy a scenic luncheon cruise.  We enjoyed walking River street and sightseeing, shopping and eating of course! It was a nice get away and perfect for us as we are simply two imperfect people that fit perfectly together.  I did spot Santa while in Savannah though! YES, I love Christmas so I had to stop at several Christmas shops! We've had outings that have kept us quite busy and we have surely been blessed to be able to attend our grands functions and our little outings toget

{SON-Flowers}

Don't you just love sunflowers? When I think about sunflowers I think of two things. My motherinlove who loved sunflowers and Fall. I came across a devotional written by Julia Bettencourt on sunflowers and thought it so appropriate for today as I wanted to share my sunflowers with you. Here's a few lessons we can learn from the sunflower.    Sunflowers Track The Sun.   Most plants are attracted to light but the flowering head of the sunflower actually tracks the sun following it's path and moving toward where it is in the sky all during the day. I read somewhere that sunflowers track the sun when they are in bud stage. Isn't that how it usually goes for us as Christians? When we first come to know the Lord, we get excited about knowing all about Him and living for Him, but after awhile we sometimes grow a little preoccupied with other things and get our eyes off of the Lord.   Wouldn't it be great if as a Christian we'd track th
