Room at the Table

 

I spent a little time today setting the table for Easter dinner.

 

Washed my stemware, ironed my linens, gathered some spring décor from my she-shed.

This year dinner will be just the 3 of us.......My husband, my son and me.

 

 

As I was placing the table settings , I thought about who would sit where.

 

I always sit to the left of my husband

Ethan sits to his right......each of us gets a little name card indicating where we will sit

But then I thought, I need to include The One we are honoring on this most holy of days......a day that made all the difference !

 

I set a place at our table for the man who gave His life for me. He hung on a cross on a hill called Calvary, he bled and died so that I may live. I feel that a place at my humble table is the least I can offer the man who loves me in ways that I cannot fully comprehend yet I am forever grateful for.

 

 

 

Its not about the bunny.........rather The Lamb who was slain.

As we celebrate His resurrection it is my prayer that you will draw closer to Him.

 

 

 

Happy Easter

Valentines Day decorations make me smile

 

I love decorating for the seasons, the holidays, the weather, I love decorating for my mood oh heck, I just love displaying things in our home that make me feel good and make my family feel happy.

 

 

   Valentines Day is the perfect opportunity to display all of my red pretties.

 

 

          So many things have been sent to me by my loving blog friends

The vintage vases I have displayed here were found at the Goodwill! OMG I just about fell over when I found these !

The Wee Wisdom booklet is dated February 1949.

This is the buffet in my dining room.....the mirror is NOT crooked, my camera was! LOL

 

  This just makes me happy, do you know what I mean?

   I could play for hours

    A little white wicker end table that I just adore......$5.00 Goodwill score

    Received this in the mail this week from my friend Patti, she is such a special blog sister in The Lord. She blogs at Paintin Patti

 

This figurine was given to me by an elderly friend of mine and I absolutely adore her, see the little bluebird on the candy box?

 

Well I hope you enjoyed my Valentine décor as much as I enjoy displaying it. I appreciate your visit and pray your week is going well !

 

Smiles,

Mission Organization

I am starting my new year in "organization mode". I am determined to GET and KEEP my craft room organized. I have some ideas in my head and surfed the internet for random pics to share. Note: NONE of the pics in this post are my craft room, I am just sharing some pretty ideas.

 

 

This is a simple and practical idea

I absolutely adore this butter yellow 3 tiered stand, its pretty, its functional and its unique. I have several 3 tiered stands in my storage shed I will be pulling out this weekend......oh the possibilities!

This room makes me smile, I love the bookshelf that serves as storage for bits and bows and crafting supplies. I bet my husband could build that for me.

  Beautiful

 

 

 This space is divine

 

Well I am filled with motivation and excitement to get my space in order. I will share pictures and ideas along the way. I am sure to tweak my ideas a million times, rearranging is a way of life for me.

Thank you for visiting.

 

 

Christmas Mail

Ding Dong at the front door could only mean one thing.......I have a package on my porch

 

 

My blog sister in Christ Deb from Garage Sale Gal sent this loving package filled with so many treasures.

 

 

Deb is by far one of my closest friends-in-the-heart. We have known each other for 10 years through blogging but have never met in person. She knows me better than some of my closest family members.

 

Isn't this tin just adorable?

 

She knows I love paper crafting and she tucked these vintage stickers & ephemera inside the tin.......

      The most adorable vintage recipe book....

That red is my favorite

If these pages could talk

 

A beautiful sheet of Christmas words describing the birth of Our Lord.

   I thank The Lord for blessings like these and most of all for the blessing of a treasured friendship that would not have formed had it not been for the hand of God and of course the wonderful world of blogging. Its undeniable that blog sisters are one of a kind and very, very special.

 

I am almost done with wrapping all the gifts (that's my favorite) and I am so happy to be off all week to spend time with my son. Are you all ready for Christmas?
