Still Romancing Christmastime

I LOVE this Rachel Ashwell fabric I bought from Susan at Urbangardens on ebay. I believe it's called Meadow Stripe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I LOVE vintage millinery!!! I've been trying to find more of those and vintage hatboxes as well. If anyone should come across some for sale, can you let me know?

 

 

 

 

 

I LOVe how my little pink and white marshmellow trees came out! All you need are styrofoam cones, elmers glue, and the mini marshmellows to make this fun, easy, and cheap project!!! I did this with the schoolagers and they loved it just as much as I did!!!

A few days ago I went  to grab my mail and found a box in there from someone in Iowa. I said to myself..... Iowa ? Who do we know who livesin Iowa ?  I  looked carefully and saw that it was addressed to me!!!! So with some eager excitement, I quickly opened it and unraveled the tissue and found not one, but two beautiful vintage embossed ceiling tin hearts  that a very special lady by the name of Anna Marie Holt made especially for little ole me !!!!! I was so touched and soooooo HAPPY that someone took the time out of their busy life to make me something so special. I can't even begin to tell you how lovely and so thoughtful that was!!! Anna Marie is a lovely woman I met on Facebook this past year and she is so sweet and super talented. She just launched her brand new blog at ~ www.prairiemebeautiful.blogspot.com. If you get a chance, please stop into visit her, I am so excited and happy for her and wsh her all the luck in the world, but I'm sure she'll do just fine.

Thanks again so very much for being so kind Anna Marie. I will cherish your hearts that you made forever! 

Wishing you all LOVE, PEACE, and GOODNESS,

XOXO ~ Steph

Stephanie, you have such a gift for creating beauty! Every single little detail of your home is exquisite. There's not a single thing that I don't absolutely love about it!

I have to ask you this though, which I asked Tausha a while back...how do deal with the "not so pretty" things, like big screen t.v.s, dvd players, cords etc. Since my hubby's so great about all my girly stuff, I won't deprive him of his big flat screen but I struggle with how to make that area look appealing!

Hi Victoria dear!

Thank you soooooo much sweetie! As far as my tv, stereo equipment and all the unsightly stuff goes, I have an armoire that our things go into. I don't like looking at that stuff when not in use at all. I would suggest compromising on an armoire for sure! I know what you mean though... My husband is very manly but he also wants me to be happy as long as I don't paint any walls or doors PINK !!!! LOL ! I would never go that far anyway. However, I did tell him just today that I'm going to paint the stair steps white and do some wallpapering on one of the walls and he's ok with that!!!! Thank goodness, whooo! I LOVE it when I get my way, don't you!!!! Good luck and let me know how it all works out.

XO~ Steph
