Here is a set of vintage flower pictures I picked up at a thriftstore for only 99 cents each. Sorry about the reflexion in the pictures glass
Here is a sample of the border I am putting up in the hallway. Walls are a dark cranberry with white beadboard ceiling, white trim and doors except the one into the bathroom. The floor is being put down tomorrow and then I will take photos of the finished hallway.
And here is one of the reasons I am not stretched out relaxing.

What a gorgeous shade of red on your walls. Awww, that looks like my Bev in her better days.
Peggy, your "Chesterfield" (the Canadianism for couch) looks comfy.
Move the cat over and share it with her for a rest. You no doubt deserve it.
i am reading your blog early this morning avoiding going outside to feel the cattle beasts. With the wind chill it feels like -34C this morning.
Thrift store are great place to go, never know what one my find.
Any cat stretched out on furniture in this house leaves themselves open to being picked up and snuggled. :D That looks like an open invitation from that cat!
The last pic is so cute, LOL!
I love getting a great deal on knick knacks I really like.
I have 1 bedroom in my house that same cranberry color. It's gorgeous. Too bad my MIL is occupying that room :p
Hi! When I am not lurking, I sometimes visit thriftshops and antique stores..my best buy was last week..I found three full size sheets made from 100lb.sugar bags (1930's) for $7.00 each. Two of the sheets will be used as backings for my quiltmaking and the one left I intend to use on my bed as a top sheet. That is also my secret to shopping thriftstores etc..never buy what I cannot make use of. I also found a "butt" can for the back porch and a lovely sampler that says "Live within your harvest" which I intend to give to my son as a housewarming gift. Your pictures that you bought are quite lovely and I think you got quite a good bargain!!! Sincerely, Caryn
