I painted Santa and his Elf many many years ago...

they started out inside my home..

Now they are outside guarding our home....

My camera has been giving me a few issues lately....

It makes feel like a little girl with so much excitement.....
wondering what treasures lie beneath....
Look at all the little treasures....
pink rose bath fizzes...an adorable pumpkin.....
the cutest little glittery winter home and a cute little Joy ornament.....

some beautiful stationary and little note stickies....
Thank you so much Mo for the lovely treasures.....
It was my pleasure to participate.

Firelpace Tins

When I posted my living room I forgot to tell you about the "Faux Tin"

I knew I wanted to do something on the curve part of the Victorian Mirror. It was just to white. I found the Faux Tin at Home Depot. It looks just like the real thing. They have them in so many colors. I bought the copper one and the antique silver tin color and I liked the antique silver one best.

As you can see it just gives it a different look.
It was very easy to apply.
I measured it and just cut it with a scissors.

I really does look like the real thing...

It is a little on the $$ side it was $18 for one.

You can use it for tin ceilings, back splash etc.

So glad I just happen to find this little treasure

and thought I would pass it along...

Take care...

Mo :-)

Cute Little Chest Find !!!!

I had no intention's to buy anything at Ross last week...they were having a clearance sale...I found this cute little chest for $35.... at one time sold for $149.... hard to believe.....and thought it would be cute painted.....

Well the more I looked at it the more it grew on me......
It had a lot of dings and nicks...
so I put a little scratch cover on the dings
and nicks and am living with it.....
I think I really like it....this is really shabby chic.....
everything else is very light in that room and this kinda grounds things....
what do you think ?????

************************
I also found this picture frame made out of tin at Tuesday Morning....

this store is in Orinda which is about 40 minutes

away so I do not get there very often...

I guess that is a good thing.....

I put a picture of a rose I found on a napkin

and put some roses on it now it is one of my favorites....

Pink Saturday !!!

Today I want to share this pretty flower

I bought at Michael's last week.....

It's a Peony.

My friend Sharon tied it with some netting and ribbon....

I love this color Pink....

and it blends in well in my new Living Room......
I found this candle box with the Pink Roses
in Niles in an antique store..
It was $3 and the candle smell is fabulous.....

My little tray that holds my treasures on my coffee table....
Just things that make me happy....
I bought the Pink plate at Home Goods last month...(The little boy and girl in the picture are my Father and Aunt..I think this is one of my favorite pictures of my Dad when he was a child )
