The Dirty Low-Down BLACK AND WHITE of it all...

HELLO ALL...
 hope all is well in your world......
things sure aren't good in our news and it is so depressing....Everyone wondering what the Grand Jury will rule on for Ferguson, MO.
We all need to really pray hard for every one concerned there.

Let's just quit watching it for today and read blogs...
sounds like a plan to me.


I have two new things in this photo....no....THREE new things, really, that I haven't shared with you as yet.

You might remember that I went shopping in an AWESOME gift shop not long ago
  and bought those adorable,


OWLS named WHO and WHAT...
(i am searching hi and low for WHEN and WHERE)

That same store that just about brought me to my knees
with all their amazing things for sale ALSO had

a floor lamp that I want to run away with and marry...
I am so in Black and White Checks Love, I can hardly stand my silly self.


I tied my little silver cross with the lone star
(remember....I am a TEXAN from the Lone Star State)
with a checked ribbon and wanna kiss it every time I walk by.


The Little Lamp That Was
really added warmth to this corner of our dining room.


Don't you love it when you're shopping, not looking for anything in particular,
you walk up the wooden stairs in the absolute adorable shop you're in
and, THERE...at the top of the stairs is THE LAMP you didn't even know you wanted.?
meee, too !!!
 
Hope you'll come back to see me soon and I'll tell you about the other neat things I found in that very store....





I'll put on the tea kettle on ......

 you can choose what you'd like from my SNACK TRAY...
and we'll talk about it.

XOXO

  2. I love brown and I love black, but I would never have thought to put the two together. You have and it looks great! The lamp is very classy and the owls are so cute and textured. I hear you about Ferguson. I'm going to watch DWTS and sail away. Have a fun evening...

  7. You did get some pretties, and I really like your photo wall.
    I have a vintage candy jar where I put packs of crackers, fortune cookies, etc.. Cleaned it out recently and threw away 2 or 3 fortune cookies, as knew I had not had chinese in some time,so pretty sure there were past their prime.
    Wishing you and yours a Very Happy Thanksgiving.

  9. When you find something you just love when you're not even shopping for anything - it's an unwritten rule that you must purchase it! I like the new lamp and I've seen the kettle you painted before. Do put it on for tea please, I'll be sticking my hand in the jar with cookies to have with mine thanks.
    Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday BJ.

  14. Thanks for the snacks. Blogging is my happy place. I don't talk politics or even read blogs that are overtly political. So yeah, I do have an opinion or ten, but this ain't my place for it. Thanks for giving me something beautiful to look at. Happy Thanksgiving.

  15. I love your adorable lamp and teapot, bj! Your whole house looks so pretty! That snack tray would be dangerous for me to have on my counter as I'd be dipping into it all the time--lol!

  17. Black & White, classic beauty. Your dining is gorgeous. You are right with that floor lamp, it really fies look good in there. Your kettle's probably having found a relative :) Oh and the owls of course, they're cute.

  18. I need you to come decorate my new house! I bet your bill would be a bit lower than my decorator! That lamp makes me smile! I also like the wall of photos. We have a long hallway upstairs that where we are hanging family pictures. I told my husband I wanted to wait and buy matching frames. He didn't understand. I will show him this. Happy Thanksgiving!

  29. Hi BJ Thank goodness you've got the kettle on and the snack ready as you know I've had one 'ell of a week! I'm glad I managed to give you a chuckle, my 20 yr old daughter told me off for the sausages comment said it was quite unnecessary... So I'm here now and loving your place especially your cute owls who and what and the black and white around the place wot I'd call trendy and elegant :)
    Now be a darling and pass me that fortune cookie from the bottom of your jar, I've got another business trip lined up with my husband and I want to know whether I should stay at home - LOL

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
