couch traveling...

Well the snow on Friday melted way before noon.  This morning I awoke to more light flurries which will most likely be gone by noon as well!

The colder weather always makes me want to plan a winter escape.

Who knew that browsing Etsy would allow me to do some couch traveling!

Of course I chose to visit Paris first and enjoy the architecture...

Most likely I will not be traveling that far but there are beautiful sights to see on the main streets and back roads of our country...

Where have your couch travels taken you?

Speaking of Etsy...I still have my shop on sale so take a peek if you have time.

I finally ordered my postcards from Uprint for the giveaway I hosted months ago...

I am very happy with them!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today ~ have a wonderful day!

wandering and wondering...

With a light dusting of snow on the ground this morning my thoughts are wandering and now I am wondering if an old toboggan might look nice in front of my house...

I wish I had a big ol' porch along the front of my house and be able to dress it up like this!

I finally downloaded Picasa to my computer and have been playing around a bit with my photos (oh no, not another distraction!).

I would love any tips you have to share!

Thank you for visiting and have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks for hosting Debra!

pale and interesting...

It turned very cold yesterday afternoon so I hunkered down with a few gifts from Christmas...

My new fluffy white slippers and a book that has been on my wish list for a while was the perfect way to keep warm.  I am sure you have all seen "Pale & Interesting" before but just in case you haven't, I will give you a little peek...

There are knives with mother of pearl handles similar to these at the shop!  Should I or shouldn't I...

It is even colder this morning, so this White Wednesday you will probably find me doing more of the same today...

Well, I will curl up with this book again, after I exercise, clean the house, put a few hours in on a house project as well as a few hours working on "stuff" for my booth.

I don't just sit around all day!

Are you reading this Jim?  Hee Hee...

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!

etsy sale...

Happy New Year!

I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful evening!

This morning my head is swirling with ideas...

for myself,

my home,

my blog,

my booth,

my etsy shop.

As for myself...the new year diet begins on Monday.

This old cottage nest has some projects already in progress, and thanks to all the wonderful inspiration here in blogland, more projects are being added to my list ~ daily.

I want a new look for my blog ~ a professional makeover.

As for my booth, it is going to get a makeover as well with some new shelving.  I want to fill it with a mix of chippy whites, farmhouse treasures and a few industrial pieces and hope to make it all work together.

That means lots of road trips are on the horizon!

I think I will start by having a sale in my etsy shop.

I would like to stock it with the same style of items that I want to have in my booth.

All the roses and shabby items that left my nest and my booth are in my shop.

Well I am off to take down the tree and put all my Christmas decorations away for another year.

What do you have planned for today?

Thanks for visiting!!
