A Teeny tiny bit of Fluffing

 HAPPY JULY 1st
**********************************
Sometimes, just moving a few items from a table

or a shelf

or a hutch
and adding something a little different

can give the whole, entire room a flair it didn't seem to have before.

I get tired of the same ole things all the time...

(Mr. Sweet just gulped...)

and it seems I am fickle.

I LOVE something one week and the next I am ready to toss it aside

and do something different.

Am I the only one that does this....?

SURELY NOT....:>)

This is the way my little 

$16.00 GoodWill table

in the dining room has looked for most of the spring and summer, so far.

...by the way, I have never been tired of this pillow I bought 5 or 6 yrs ago at TJ Maxx.....
I still love it.

 Then, I tried the weather vane instead of the hour glass on top of the table

and the "I love it so much I want to marry" my faux SHEEP SKIN with my 

favorite little Rabbit Pillow....

NOPE...not quite right yet.
I mean, it's alright...just not enuf change to suit me.

So, I added a tray, bottle and faux, green berries down below, on the rug....

NOPE

 

It looked like the rabbit was trying to eat the berries...

 OK...so I put my favorite pillow right back on the sheepskin rug...

I like it..

 I moved the wine rack to the right...

added my cute little  GATE sign...

UH OOOO...

HUGH BLANK SPACE...

and I just don't like blank spaces.

Now...if that sign had been larger, the blank space between the mirror and the table would have worked just fine.

HOWEVER, the GATE sign is very small.

Maybe my Ironstone platter

(from a thrift shop..$2.85)

would work....

maybe fill in that space that was bothering me.

I tried it.......and I liked it.

....and I still love my little
WHO and WHAT OWLS..

You just don't tire of
CUTENESS too quickly...

I saw this wine rack on another blog a couple years ago and 

she was kind enuf to tell us where she purchased it...

I jumped right in the car and went to WORLD MARKET

and bought one. 

LOVE.
(I can't remember the blogger, tho...and I'm sorry)

At this point, I am happy...

well....

nearly happy.

Something is needed.....what..??....gotta go shop the house again.

hmmm.....

I don't know....it's pretty tiny...

gotta try it, tho.

I'm very happy now....that tiny touch of color and texture was just right...
for me, anyway.

I'm also happy I had this ICE BOX STEW in the freezer 

for our dinner tonight........
My mother always made a stew at the end of the week when our fridge (ice box)
had small bowls of leftovers.
She would add potatoes or noodles to all the leftovers, including meat.
Sometimes it was the leftover roast...and sometimes she would brown hamburger meat
and add to the mixture.
I think of her every time I make a stew.

xoxo, bj

Not a lot of change....
just enuf to take on a little different personality...
and, of course, like all makeovers, no matter how small,
everything is cleaned before rearranging so it just makes ya feel good.

Before and After Wed.
