Fun Work....

AKA

nesting

fluffing

piddling

....just enjoying having a pretty home to putter around in.

Working around here today but not doing anything HARD....or UN-FUN...:)

I have a couple of pots of ivy that have just run wild here in the great dining area with so many windows and so much light.

I trimmed them up...cut off the long runners and put them on the vintage wicker tea cart...

then moved it all to the master bedroom in front of French Doors that I can control  the light....

they look about a thousand times better, all trimmed, washed, with plant food boosters.

then, OF COURSE, I had to play around with the camera....

haahaha

While I was in the bedroom, I tackled the bookshelves with a SWIFFER...

I didn't take every single book out...
nope....not THAT industrious .....

but swiffed over them, took out the
knick-knacks, dusted them and the shelves.

...clean enuf for me !!

 ...also cleaned the bookcases in the living room...

Wonder why, after cleaning just a portion of a room, the whole room seems to sparkle more...??

Others may never notice that your books are dusted....but YOU know. 

Next, I need to go thru OLDEN magazines and get rid of about HALF of them....

I love pretty magazines with a passion and it's like pulling teeth to get rid of one....

but I have all these full and 6 more just like them...

THEN....I moved into the kitchen for a little more  cuteness....

Vee did this to some of her kitchen cabinet doors and I thought 

"how cute is that !!"

So I pulled out my olden SUSAN BRANCH calender and put a couple up on the

 inside of some cabinet doors.

AND...while I was in the kitchen, I put on a pot of 

fresh BLACKEYED PEAS 

with that wonderful ham hock that's been in the freezer since CHRISTMAS EVE...

Tomorrow, with cornbread and butter,

fresh GREEN ONIONS,

we are going to think we've died and gone to HEAVEN....

While cleaning those bookshelves, 

I came across this book my friend, MARTHA, gave me at Christmas...

She said it was such a great book so

I decided to get started on it....

 

and,  of course, I had to have a snack by
this time....

OK...if you haven't tried them...

and you like cheese and just a little fire....

you're gonna LUV these.

Have a wonderful week.....

OOO...

and I added a little bouquet of faux posies
to a cute little burlap
draw-string bag
and hung it on my little hutch that is just CRYING for some
PAINT.....

Faux posies in a burlap bag can bring sunshine to your days....
