Seven Things About Me

I was tagged by Zita, who has a lovely blog that I enjoy Mlle Magpie, to share seven things about myself and then pass this along to seven interesting people that I would love to know more about. Thanks so much Zita for honoring me!

1~I will be 50 (how did that happen?) next month. Oy vay!

2~My favorite color is brown.

3~I am a terrible procrastinator but a type A personality.

4~I hate housework and do less of it all the time.

5~I have way more ideas and projects in my brain than time.

6~I am madly in love with my two grandbabies.

7~The older I get, the less afraid I am to dress weird.

Okay now for my selection of sistas and one dude to pass this along to:

1~Deb of Talking Trash.

2~Lulu of 2Chippys.

3~Sue of Bella Shabby.

4~Jermonne of Barn House.

7~Margo of Margo's Junkin' Journal.

Tag, you're it!

Thanks Peg

I bought this fabulous old cast iron floor lamp last spring from Terri (Garden Worthy) at Marburger. Mr. Sweet Pea re-wired it and it now sits in my living room. It even came with the old tubular bulbs. Love it! But it needed a little somethin' somethin'... And so, this spring Peg (French Vanilla) had these adorable lampshades that were dripping with old seam binding wrapped around them in rumpled bows. Peg was kind enough to let me snap some pics and I decided that this treatment was exactly what my lamp needed. Here's my version... What do you think?

MIA

So you ask, where have I been? Here and there, to and fro, like sagebrush caught in the wind. Have you ever had a period of time where you just couldn't finish anything you started, couldn't get out of your own way? Well that is where I've been. Starting several new projects, finishing none. Dabbling. Driving myself crazy. I know WHAT I want to do~~so as Nike says~~why can't I "Just Do IT"! Words of enouragement appreciated here...

I'll be back...

Spring 2009 Home Sale

Tomorrow is the Sweet Pea Spring 2009 Home Sale!! Be here at 9am with bells on to get the best stuff! Here are some pics to entice you to stop on by...

When In Texas...

When in Texas, we manage to squeeze in a little sight-seeing if we can.

The first two pics are of the house used in the movie Hope Floats, which can be found in Smithville, Texas just two towns away from where we stay. Who knew?



The next pics are of the world's smallest Catholic church. This teeny little church is right next to the field where our show sets up and I've always been curious about it. You can actually go inside and I did.




Beautiful fields of Bluebonnets everywhere the eye can see...


This majestic stone bridge sits in a meadow of Bluebonnets and beautiful old trees along the way to Round Top. Looks like a post card doesn't it?


In Warrenton, the biggest Easter basket I've ever seen!


And finally, this is me holding two adorable Yorkie puppies named Abby and Gidget. Check out the shades. What a scream!

The Masters~~Finale

For those of you who know Robin Brown and John Gray~~Magnolia Pearl~~I know you are not surprised that I would include them in my tribute. Beautiful,ethereal,dreamy~~just a few of the many words you could use to describe the gorgeous clothing they design and sell. When at Marburger, I wear nothing else but Magnolia Pearl. It's feminine and flirty and just plain fun to wear. Their booth is romantic and makes you want to sit down and just take it all in. Enjoy...
