Weekend Getaway!!!

Car Show in Atwood, Kansas

Hello my friends! I just wanted to let you know that I'll be away for a few days.

Honey and I are going to a car show in Atwood, Kansas. It's an annual event and it will be our third year to go. It's alot of fun and we're really looking forward to just getting away for the weekend! My honey loves camaro's...he restores them for a hobby...so we'll be taking our 1971 RS Camaro to the show. Oooh, it's pretty...copper with black stripes...with a 5" cowl hood...and a tall spoiler! Ohhh yea...it's a BAD BOY! Honey will be racing it on Saturday afternoon!!!

New Camping Trailer...

We recently got a camping trailer and we'll be taking it this year to Atwood. I'm really looking forward to the camping experience! We'll not be "roughing it" by any means...our little camper has a bathroom! Thank the Lord! Hehe!!! I was really excited when we got the camper...OMG...it's like having another home to decorate! I was thinking shabby chic! When I told my honey this...you should have seen the look on his face! It was priceless!!! Hehe! After all...it does have a living area...a bedroom, a kitchen, and a bath...soooo my goodness...it's gonna need some decor!!! I'll have all weekend to think about it...and scheme!!!

Community Yard Sale

Okay...I just have to tell you that while I enjoy the car show... there is just one more itty-bitty little event going on at Atwood this weekend! They always have a community wide yard sale on the weekend of the car show! Yeeeeehawwww!!! Now we're talkin'! Hehe!

Ohhhh...I'm really excited (can you see me wiggling and rubbing my hands together in anticipation?) this will be my very first yard sale of the season! It's been a very lonnnnggg and cold winter here in Colorado and I'm ready for a yard sale!!! I told honey that it's a good thing that we're taking my truck (for the truck bed) and that we'll also have the camp trailer that I can load alllll my yard sale goodies into!!!!!! Once again, you should have seen the look on my honey's face...priceless!!! Hehe!!!

Anyway, I sure will miss ya'll while I'm gone! I wanted to leave you with some beautiful cottage garden photos!

Don't forget me...I'll be back!!!

I really do appreciate each and every one of you!!!

Your friendship has been such a blessing to me!!!

Each of you are like the beautiful flowers seen in these pretty cottage gardens. Each flower different...different shapes, different colors, and with different scents but each flower is special in it's own way...just like you!!!

Okay...before I get too weepy! I'm going to say goodbye for now! I'll be back some time Sunday evening and will talk to you soon!!!

Don't Forget About "Sunday Favorites"!!!

PS...Just want to let you know that we're still "on" for "Sunday Favorites"! I didn't want to miss it!

I've already prepared my post and it should publish Saturday at 4pm. Mr. Linky should be there...crossing my fingers that all will go well with it since I won't be here to check it out!

Ohhhh myyyy...an entire weekend without a TV...a phone...and a computer! What??? NO COMPUTER??? Eeeekks!!! Hmmm...maybe I am "roughing" it after all! Hehe!!!

Love ya'll,

It's Trash to Treasure Tuesday!!!




Hello friends! Today is "Trash to Treasure Tuesday" hosted by Diane over at A Picture is Worth 1,000 Words.

As many of you know...I've been busy, busy...trying to find homes at my place for many of my late father-in-law's treasures. To make a long story short...because this little post today is going to be "short & sweet"...I have claimed my step-son's bedroom as my very own studio/office. Oh boy, have my little "decorator's wheels" been a turnin'...hehe!!! I've always wanted a "toile" room and this is my chance to have one! It will be my own little "french country toile" heaven...hehe!!! Soooo this morning...I'm shopping around my house for things to put in there and just happened to look over at this little french country treasure....a magazine rack...that I've had in our office. It'll be perfect for my office!

I found this little treasure a few years back at a yard sale. I'll never forget that yard sale...the dearest little old lady was selling many of the items that she had collected over her "lifetime" of years. It was kind of sad...if you know what I mean...but I was more than happy to give this little magazine rack a good home! She gave it to me for .50 cents...can you believe that? Well...this is "Trash to Treasure Tuesday"....which brings me to point out that this darling little magazine rack had seen it's better days but I wouldn't change it...I love it's patina!

Here's a close-up of the cute, colorful rooster...how sweet!!!

Well my friends...guess I better go so I can clean up my little frenchy magazine rack and get it in my new room! Thank you so much for coming by...I always love when you visit and leave a comment!

Love ya'll,

Chari
