Twin Chimneys

1908 ? Crazy

This was a lil creepy especially since I didn't see it at first

Awesome! Chimneys I find it weird that they're on the inside of the house not on the outside edge.

This house caught our eyes off of Rt. 301 (Millington area ?) coming back from Wilmington De.  There are alot of neat 3 story old houses on that road. We both looked at each other at the same time and said what was that. We then busted a U turn on the highway and pulled up to it. Of course I had to beg Tom to let me peek inside. The state must be planning to tear it down as the property was marked w/flags in some places. Can you imagine tearing it down ? The frame looks sturdy, good bones. For being dated 1908. Someone must have lived there not too long ago cause the other side did have a cable dish hanging off of the side...lol

Ooh check out this giveaway!

Log on this awesome site. For a giveaway from the Outer Banks Trading Group. I totally love their metal signs, the sea horse wall hook, these pillows, and this ice bucket. I love enamelware!

Lancaster Pa Cont'd

Check this weirdness out. Creepy real looking skelton and manniqin with legs come out of her hips... what in the world ?

This is the only Amish scenery picture I took :( no shoulders on the road. Beautiful hills, and farms. This one was taken thru the windshield

ooh I have this same lunch box. This one is alot rougher and $30.. whew..

Look at these babies don't they look real... Tom & I went to Aimee & Darla's doll shop. Not to look at dolls we were looking for a doll case for my grandmothers old doll. We had no luck finding anything.

Lancaster for the day

Lots of goodies

Windows, should have bought one. Been wanting to do a photo project with an old window

The basement of a cool antique store

ooh now looking at this picture I see I missed some things, those enamel cups, the wooden coke flat

I would love to have this cabinet & the stool. I have a red one but am lovin the yellow.

And how cute is that little ironing board

Love this fan, I collect old fans. My favorite is one my dad me gave that's teal!

Ooh I have one of these, I paid $50 something for mine

Tom and I headed to Lancaster Pa last Saturday, Just to get away for the day. We had fun. Did some furniture shopping, visited our favorite little wine tasting place Mount Hope. Where we took home Sangeria, Apple Wine. We had a nice lunch at Miller's buffett (Tom's Favorite) All u can eat. Need I say more.

Here are a few pictures from our Antiquing ventures. I did bring home some things, need to take pictures of them. I got a cool little metal sign (teal), vintage tea towels & table runners, old mason jars w/metal lid.

4 yr ~ Wedding Anniversary

Yesterday was my 4 yr Wedding Anniversary!
We were married in Ocho Rios, Jamaica with some of our family and friends.
It's a great couple of years! Hope we have many more healthy, happy years to come. 
I would DEFINATLY recommend a destination wedding to anyone. It was easy and hassle free. We were married at Sandals in Ocho rios

This picture makes me sad :( Look at that water.. I want to go back..
Maybe for our 5 yr anniversary. hint, hint

Bedroom Redo - The Before pics

Been working on updating my bedroom for while. I just feel like it's so dark. The dark furniture, the paint and faded curtains.. eek

My favorite color is Robins Egg Blue, I wanted to include that and make it have a beachy kind of vibe. This is the bedspread I got in the bright blue sham color.  More to come.

Bad Hair days

Don't mind the spagetti face!! Loves wearing Mama's flip flops. She puts them on her self



We've been busy, playing, organizing redecorating our master bedroom, selling our living room set and today we are home with the stomach flu.

Yuck I don't wish this on anyone. Especially a 20 month old who can't tell you what hurts and whats wrong. She's been up all night throwing up. I never seen so much come out of such a small lil girl. I feel so bad for her. Maddie & I are just chilling today. I am trying to catch up on some things.

PW Maple Pecan Scones

Yum...

Not as pretty looking as PW's, but hey it's the first time I made them.

Sunday I made Maple Pecan Scones from my Pioneer Woman Cookbook (which I love)
Pretty easy recipe. I was proud of myself. I got a Kitchen Aid mixer for Christmas and have been using it like crazy. Monday night I made Homemade Chicken Pot Pie.. mmm... another yummy recipe. While I was trying to make the filling for the Pot Pie my daughter was finger painting on our tile floor with Dawn dish washing liquid. Oh boy! That was fun

I can finally show you these ...

A "crunchy" owl toy for Mason

Scrappy Sweatshirt for Lindsey

A tote bag for Grandma Carolyn

Journals for Ashley, Lindsey & Lynn

Scrappy "hot dog" shirt for Amber (my daycare providers daughter)

Painting for Mason

Xmas gifts I made for everyone. I did make a bunch of others but I got into Xmas panic mode and forgot to take pictures. I got the idea for the Owl toy from an online tutorial (can't remember where I seen it) sorry :)

Sweatshirt idea from Meg Duerksen, and the poem/verse from the bird painting I saw on Etsy.
