I have a few book recommendations. You may already have them, but I was impressed by the contents. I like books that show you the different ways of decorating and I thought these were two of the best.
This is one of my all time favorite flowers. As a child I really loved daffodils still do. I have hydrangeas in my front porch in a box. The frost got to them, put they are hardy enough to come back.
I went to a liquidation sale and found this table there. It was $235.00, I told the man that it was too much. He asked what I wanted to pay, and I told him no more that $175.00. So, that's what I paid.
It's interesting to me that you can find things for what you need in the most unusual places. I found this in the lighting area of Ikea and thought to myself I could hang this from someplace and here it is in my kitchen over the sink.
These little sconces I found in a little Antique shop down the road from me called Grace's Antiques. They were only $6.00 for the both of them. They have a place in the back to put tea candles in them. Aren't they pretty !
I have had Vertical Blinds since I moved in, in 1998. And now it's time for another change. So I am going back to drapes. I found these on J.C. Penny's we site. They were on sale along with some lace curtains. I can hardly wait for these to come. It's going to make things warmer. I ordered Olive for the drapes and white for the lace.
It's is raining and the wind is blowing hard here in California. We need the rain, but can do without the wind. Well at least I can work on my house while it's raining. Took today off though, and will return to cleaning up tomorrow. This is after the storm.
Happy New Year to all.
