BLUE MONDAY MY AMERICANA BATH PART 2

Hello and welcome to Blue Monday hosted my Smiling Sally. If you go here to her blog you can get a list of all the other participants.

Today I have part two of my Americana Bath. If you did not get here last Monday then, if you'd like, scroll down and take a look at the pics you missed. Please feel free click on the pic if you would like to see a larger view.

I'm showing you some closeups this week. I had a few people ask if the room was big. Yes it is for a bath that is. It's 14 x 18, it was supposed to be a small bedroom according to the house plans but we decided we did not need another bedroom being empty nesters and just made it into a large bathroom.

This shelf below has my collection of Brandywine Collectible Houses. I'll show you closeups of them next week in my last part of this room.

This pretty Thomas Kincade lamp was a gift from a lifelong friend. She saw it in the Bradford Exchange catalog and had it sent to me knowing how much I love Thomas Kincade art.

A closeup of the lamp with a pretty little cottage and stream.

Another cute cross stitch.

A closeup of a Betsy Ross vintage embroidered piece that I picked up in an antique mall in NJ. I've always loved Betsy Ross, I guess because I love to sew so much!

Close up of a wreath I made using a Brandywine House.

Another closeup of cross stitch and some glitter words.

I used some little crocks to hold Q-tips and emery boards. My husband brought that antique crate home and I use it as a shelf.

Some closups of that cute little shelf that my husband built for my stuff!!!!

A friend painted the God Bless America sign. She died of a brain tumor about 16 years ago. She had painted so many things for me and I will never part with them.

Another cute little Betsy Ross.

A cute little Americana bear and cross stitched bunny.

I love houses and cross stitched this back in the 80's, another one of my favorite things.

I love this saying "This corner of the earth smiles for me" that's how I feel about my home.

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed looking at my Americana Bath. I loved sharing it with you! Next Monday will be my last post for this room. Until I make another Americana thing that is! LOL

Bless you, Shirl

PINK SATURDAY & SOME MORE FALL IN WV

Hello and welcome to Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly of How Sweet The Sound. Thank you Beverly for hosting this fun event! You can go here to get a list of all the participants. Please click on the picture to get a larger view.

The first pink I have for you today is some Stargazer Lily's that I treated myself to from the supermarket yesterday. I really miss them in my garden and love the scent so they just had to come home with me. I don't pick them up in the florist anymore because now they charge $5.00 for every bloom on the stem. That can get pretty pricey! Most stems have at least 5 blooms and it take 3 stems for a nice arrangement. Supermarket $10.00 for whole bouquet can't beat that!

My next bit of pinkness is a pretty little rose frame that I've had for years. My grandson was under a year old in this picture and he will be 18 next month.

Next I have my pretty little Mary Engelbreit tea cup.

A napkin that I made to go with it.

A pretty collection of pink fabrics that I picked up at Joanne fabric store. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them yet. I'm trying to come up with something really special.

The next few pics are some gifties that I have received from my PRH Sisters.

First is a collection of vintage wallpapers from Rhea of Miss Rheas. I can't wait to make something pretty from these. Thank you Rhea!

Next I have a pretty vintage pink crochet cotten doillie from Steph of Angelic Accents. Thank you Steph, as you can see I have just the perfect place for it!

A pretty card and glitter initial from Vickie of Visuals by Vickie. Thank you Vickie, I want to make my sewing room look like this card!

That's it for pink now on to some fall.

My hubby and I took a ride last night through the farm. It's getting pretty but not peak yet. Wait till you see how pretty that will be.

First is a pic on dear hubby on the gater with a pretty hillside behind him.

Another hillside.

I thought is was pretty in here, alot of yellow.

I thought this road looks like a scene out of a Thomas Kinkade picture.

We saw alot of deer, when I zoomed in it made the picture blurry but you can still see her.

That's it for another Pink Saturday, thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed, please leave me a comment, I'd love to hear from you!

Blessings, Shirl
