I bet you do! I do too! So, all you have to do is go visit Susan aka Peanut Petunia. Become a follower... trust me... you want to do this! This girl has style and she is pretty hilarious too! I so wish I lived near her so we could be besties!
Lovin' Life', Lovin' You
Does anyone love Elizabethtown as much as we do? (me and Mr. Hughes that is!) Especially Chuck and Cindy... aren't they great? Seriously, go watch the movie if you haven't already. That is where "lovin' life, lovin' you" came from. So, I have been feeling a little guilty for not participating in the last award I received. I told the truth... it is hard just picking a few and I feel guilty if I leave someone I truly enjoy reading out. But, isn't the idea just to show some love, both for the person giving and the people receiving? I then I remember how I feel when someone gives me one... special So, in the spirit of that feeling (and Chuck and Cindy,) I am going to participate.
The rules are as follows:
2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
3. Link to the person who nominated you for this award.
4. Name 7 things about yourself that people may not know.
5. Nominate 7 Kreativ Bloggers.
6. Post links to the 7 blogs you nominate.
7. Leave a comment on each.
Okay, so here goes:
Thank you sweet, sweet Rachel from a little bit vintage. She is truly one of my bloggy friends! Her little girl's room is so darling and I may have to literally steal her painted trunk!
So, here are 7 things about me that you may not know:
- I am an orthodontist's assistant for my real job. My dream job is to be a boutique owner and a stay at home mommy. Or a marine biologist... whichever comes first.
- I am a bit a a germaphobe... more so after having a child. Working in a dental environment doesn't help.
- I knew I loved my husband within 2 weeks of knowing him. And, I know the feeling was mutual. We are very well matched and to this day I have never made a better choice than giving him my number in a bar and then biting the bullet and sending him a text message first.
- I know that there is nothing I will ever do that is more important than being a mother. I just hope I don't screw him up too badly!
- I can't get my shower clean! Really, it can't be done! Curses on the walk in shower glass door combo with the non-slip stuff that constantly looks dirty.
- I am really good at making choices, however, I never like to choose food or movies. And, when I do choose, Mr. Hughes will ineveitably say," Oh, that is a chick place to eat" or "That is a girl movie." Do you see my reluctance?
- I am a terrible singer. Awful. But, I do it anyway. I think me singing "Oh Holy Night" may have been what made our dog go deaf.
and here are the blogs that have intrigued me, entertained me or inspired me recently:
My Little Happy Place partly for her fabulous chairs that she recently got back from the reupholsterer and partly because of her post today.
Little Byrd Vintage has beautiful photos and lots of lovelies in her etsy shop, both vintage and handmade.
Coco's Cuckoo World for her entertainment value and because my beloved doggie's name was Kokoa. Check out this post... I am still laughing!
Funky Junk Interiors because her blog is great and because she helped me with html code in this post.
Lulu & Co because I know she has to be as sweet as appears. And, because she is chasing her dream!
French Larkspur have you seen her beautiful blog? And, her shop? You need to!!
The Brocantess her blog is fairly new, but her photos knock my socks off!
and because I am a rule breaker... here are a few more!
Fiona and Twig another girl chasing the dream.
Three Men and a Lady for making grey and yellow look so good.
Flower Patch Farmgirl... this girl is fun!
Chester and Donkey check out why her blog is named so.
So there it is...my 7+ blogs that I love today. That doesn't mean I don't love Peanut Petunia any less or any of the others that I didn't mention...just go show these ladies so love!
Furniture Feature Friday
I am joining Miss Mustard Seed's Furniture Feature Friday and Funky Junk Interiors Saturday Night Special I have been busy this week working on our bedroom which has been neglected for awhile. And, the future studio. I did get one project completely painted in time for this week's party.
Some of you may remember this.
Beautiful as is, right? Well, I thought so too. The problem was I wanted it grey. And, I wanted it in our bedroom. And, it was missing some veneer. I started playing around one day after I was reading a favorite blog of mine, Peanut Petunia (you guys have met Susan, right?) And, she was talking about painting two chests to use as nightstands. Well, I have always wanted that, but I could never find the right pieces. Then, I got an idea. I told Mr. Hughes to watch Baby Hughes if he woke up from his nap too early. And, not to ask any questions. Then I locked the bedroom door (not sure why... he probably wasn't that interested in what I was doing.) Then, I moved around alot of furniture... and the 2 chests fit exactly how I wanted them to!! So, I left them like that until I had a chance to paint the 2nd one (one has been painted grey for 2 years.)
and here is what it looks like now
I still want to fluff the top and I am planning on adding fabric lining to the 2 tiny drawers just for my pleasure *wink*
Here is what the original chest looks like
Nope, they don't match. But, I don't mind. They are almost the same size and that is what really matters.
And, here is they look as nightstands
I am still working on our bedroom, so this is not the final look! On a side note, sorry for the quality of the photos... it has been rainy and sunny and rainy all day today.
So, now go look at all the other furniture transformations at Miss Mustard Seed and all the partygoers at Funky Junky Interiors. And, have a wonderful weekend and Halloween!
Vintage Black Friday 4
It is Vintage Black Friday once again and I am joining everyone at Gypsy Brocante for the party.
I have a few lovelies to share this week. We went to the flea market last weekend and I found some black treasures.
I found this great oval frame ( I love ovals!) with this vintage black and white striped ribbon.
And I found this vintage scale... I have been looking for one for a long time!
And, here is something that I won off of ebay... I have been bidding on these off and on for awhile and I always get outbid at the last minute....
They are vintage organ pulls or stops! Aren't they wonderful? I am not quite sure what I am going to do with them yet.
For now they are displayed in the most unloved piece of ironstone ever!
Now, go visit all the other Vintage Black Friday bloggers...the list has grown considerably!
A great giveaway!
No, not me, but Anne over at Fiona and Twig is nearing 200 followers and she has a fabulous giveaway planned. First, you get a copy of The Find and she is sooo generous she is giving away something else. A gift certificate to Anthropologie! So run over there and meet her if you haven't. Her blog is incredible!
