I'm clueless! Can you help?



I have a problem, not earthshaking or anything, but I've noticed in this last week or so, many of the thumbnails on our blog lists have disappeared. Not all of them, but a LOT!
I have plenty of unused space at Picasa, so I don't think that's it. I posted a question on "blogger help" (yeah right!), and some French blogger left me an answer, but even after I translated it, it's still gibberish. Sooooooo.....
anyone else out there have any ideas? I'm pretty frustrated, cause hey, I'm a visual kind of gal!
Thanks guys!
love ya,
Roseanne aka Debra

...rollin' in it!


...and lettin' it all hang out!



Last week I opened my new booth space
and I wanted to use burlap on the dividing walls.
The day before, I laid my material out to iron,
 and soon it was overrun by cats...
drooling, chewing, rolling, sniffing;
a disgusting display.



Sort of like a catnip trip


I was laughing the whole time I took these.



I get this way sometimes myself,
but it's usually around cheesecake or purses.






Just wonderin' if any of you who have kitties have seen this before...?
(love this next one)


Please excuse all the fur and fatness...
just havin' some burlap bliss.

Hope you can join in on
Vintage Inspiration Friday


and speaking of VIF,
I love each one of you for taking the time to come to the party,
and love seeing all that you all share,
but I'm having a little time management issue.

I'm trying to visit each of you.
please don't leave me if I can't leave a comment every week
(oh, guilt is a hard thing)
Just needing to keep it real, kids.

love ya bunches,
and no... that's not me in a cat suit.

Vintage Inspiration Friday #26 Thinking of Spring


This time of year I start thinking about Spring.
Not just "Spring", but more specifically,
thinking about plants and flowers for my deck and porch;
bringing some color back into my life and surroundings.



I bought the book, Carolyn Westbrook Home,
several years ago and have found endless inspiration.
One of my favorite segments is at the end of the book;

The Potting Shed



Everything about this setting speaks to my vintage heart;
old metal chairs, shutters, chippy white table, old iron gate, garden statuary.
The old metal basket, and even a beautiful way to display broken concrete urns.

I adore this rusty iron and chippy paint gate.




And even the canning jars with a seed packet;
a simple display, but lots of impact.






Oh, to have a place for bags of soil, garden utensils, pots and ideas!



If you haven't seen this wonderful book,
you'll really enjoy it.
It's one of my all time favorites!

And now;
Take a look at some great inspiration from last week!

Snow Business


Grandmother's Handwritten Recipes



Brides Maids




English Love

I'm In!!!

Well, I made it, but not without lot's of help. My hubbs and son-in-law, Chris;
my two trusty sidekicks, did the hard work.
I still have more things to bring in, but at least I'm there.



This is the first time I've moved into a space
 that I didn't bring enough stuff to fill it up.



So I still need to put a few more tubs together of smalls,
and bring in a few more prints.



The huge architectural window piece has been in my garage for a year or two.
I thought it made a good statement sitting there in the middle.



that was sooooo much fun,
and I have the scar to prove it!










I had the wicker settee in my Dining Room,
but it's time to let it go.
I traded it out for a church pew that I recently painted white.



Here's lookin' at ya!



If you live in the area, Relics is a lot of fun.
Located on West Battlefield and Kansas Expressway.
10-6 M-F,
12-6 Sunday.

The new Tea Room is scheduled for late Spring.
(can't wait!)

Hope you all had a good weekend,
I've been a bum today.

love ya,
Debra
