Where I Blog.

I was supposed to be joining a party for Where Blogger's Create with Karen from My Desert Cottage.

But!

I was late.

Again.

This has happened before.

Last time I dropped the computer and broke it.

That was bad, very bad.

This year, I was just too busy with BASEBALL life.

But!

I am ready now.

I rearranged furniture.

Dusted.

Put away stuff.

CLEANED!

One of my ivy plants that I am trying to keep alive.

Believe it or not.

Me, the gardener, kills most of her house plants.

I am not giving up.

My favorite corner cabinet.

Full of some of my favorite things, ironstone, silver, buttons and more.

The bottom of the cabinet holds extra paper for the computer.

Fabric pin board.

I was able to move my first ever slipcovered couch back into the room.

I had to move around the computer desk.

Hand crafted wall cabinet full of whatnots.

Simple garage sale find made beautiful with white paint.

It holds lots of my craft supplies.

How do you like my crazy rug. 

I am digging the multi spring colors.

The blue trunk.

I told you, blue is creeping into the house.

Morning light comes in the windows.

I was still able to keep the slipcovered chair in the room.

Lots of seating for children who like to come and sit while I blog.

The couch and chair are favorites for reading and playing hand video games.

A cute basket filled with faux floral.

My favorite florals, made by me.

I love all the spring colors.

I love the vintage barkcloth fabric on the pillow.

This is what you see from the living room.

The cow throw is so soft.

My sister had one and I fell in love. 

 I was lucky to find one just like hers.

Surrounded by pretties.

The small rose pitcher I found at a flea market this past weekend.

I think it I may have to go through my stash in the basement and bring up some more of my rose plates, cups and platters.

I am in need of a little fresh color.

A favorite vintage hat, ironstone pitcher and vintage camera.

If I ever get a tattoo, I think it will involve roses and a hat.

I hate needles so it will probably never happen.

I have loved this cabinet forever.

Ever since my best friend and I saw it at a flea market and she saw it first. 

And took it home.

It looked great in her kitchen.

Until she had to move.........it couldn't take it with her.

I bought it, she knew it would be loved.

THANKS SARA!

I love the latches, they match our kitchen ones.

I have filled it with storage and some of my pretties.

There are tons of stored craft supplies behind those doors.

3, one of my lucky numbers.

A favorite picture of my youngest son.

Little shoes.

I hope you enjoyed my blogging room.

Thanks for visiting.

Pampering Myself

I decided to pamper myself and visit one of my favorite shops.

The Flower Barn

It is an indulgence for me when I visit.

I almost never leave empty handed.

Beth, the owner has everything wonderfully displayed, lovely smells, soft music and on a hot day like today she even brought me out a mug of cold water.

I enjoy myself so much when I come to shop, and really I feel like it is more like visiting a friend.

Today I was surprised, amazed to say the least when I walked in the door and what should greet me but.....

clothing by none other than

Magnolia Pearl

My jaw dropped.

You have to understand, this is a small suburb of Buffalo, not the big city, 

not even Buffalo has Magnolia Pearl clothing.

I am so happy for Beth that she has such a wonderful opportunity to sell this line of clothing.

As beautiful as the clothing is in the pictures, they are even better in person.

You have to feel the fabrics and see all the details.

Just look at all those ruffles.

These pictures are from Magnolia Pear Clothing found here.

I will have a post soon with pictures from Beth of the available clothing she is selling.

But, if you can't wait until then.

Stop by and visit Beth.

I could not resist, I bought myself another candle.

I can never have too many candles.

Snickerdoodle by The Swan Creek Candle Co.

They have the best smells.

A cute little numbered bucket.

And

A new line Beth is carrying, TOKYOMILK/DARK by Margot Elena.

I bought Tainted Love lotion.

I am absolutely sure Mr. M. is going to like how it smells on me.

She offers a variety of collections in lip balm, body souffle, shower jell, roller parfum.

I have a feeling I will be going back to get Bullet Proof for him, it has this smokey smell that I just loved.

Oh, yeah,
I also bought this AWESOME CABINET!

It is a vintage medicine cabinet

Look at that key hole.

DETAILS!

I have mentioned on several posts what a wonderful boutique this is.

There are none like it around in this area.

Not only does she make beautiful floral arrangements,
 Beth also offers such a variety of home and gift items that are both old and new and just so unique.

Thanks Beth, I had a wonderful visit today and I can't wait to come back.
