<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>One of my goals this year is to clean out my storage sheds. So far I've been doing pretty good. This little hutch had been in storage for about two years. Finally got around to painting it and 'finding' a home for it in the cottage. (That was the hard part) :) This is the 'before' picture. I got it moved inside and actually painted it in there....in the dining room. So much easier for me that way. It was a dirty off white color. The shelves inside were painted a dark hunter green. It didn't have the glass shelves when I bought it. They knocked off $20 for that so I ended up paying $40.00. I thought that was a fair price since it is a nice heavy piece.</i></b></span></div>

I haven't posted in a few weeks.....just been busy with work and dealing with loads of stress. My daughter decided to take me away for a couple of days for my Mother's Day present. We really had a wonderful time and it was so thoughtful of her. She didn't tell me where she was taking me....that was a secret until we were almost there. She took me to a Bed and Breakfast in New Orleans, La. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk59B7MWE9jKD_rHE5YkA-wNYROQ2j_eg1814icGUu8qXFEGEIHrWXbSxf0rMPKIm1qXEhyphenhyphenIXn_AVdJ-Z1gsUM0JRYoNZrhrmy1ODu13sf9tVeLW_G6TvUdiEkSqmQocEfR4PMWvaNEqA/s1600/100_6564.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk59B7MWE9jKD_rHE5YkA-wNYROQ2j_eg1814icGUu8qXFEGEIHrWXbSxf0rMPKIm1qXEhyphenhyphenIXn_AVdJ-Z1gsUM0JRYoNZrhrmy1ODu13sf9tVeLW_G6TvUdiEkSqmQocEfR4PMWvaNEqA/s320/100_6564.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Isn't it pretty? It is actually the guest house to 'The Terrell' Bed and Breakfast. I loved it.<br />

She knows my style perfectly and she wanted to get us a place where we could relax and enjoy some good quality 'mother/daughter' time. We agreed to put stress outside the door and have a peaceful time together. I wanted to share some pictures with you. Doesn't this place look calm and serene? I love the soft colors and the shabby style furniture. This was my daughter's bedroom.<br />

I would say more...I will probably do more, however to not stress myself out too much I will just say one a month. :) Back in August my sister and I spent the day together for her birthday. We went to lunch and went '<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">thrifting</span>'. We love spending time together doing that. Last time it was her time to find a bargain. This time it was mine. :) I found this mirror at a junk store....way up high on the wall of an old warehouse. I'd been in there several times...don't know how I missed it before. The guy said it had been there for a long time. He sold it to me for $20.00. We left it there and went to a few other stores. I had to call Stevie and get him to go pick it up for me. He said that when he got there he didn't realize that he was going to have to get it down from the wall too. Oooops! He said that they almost dropped it. So glad they didn't.</span></em></strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDLjvKb1JxkLFOT_eY4j97q-_hGur6Ta9ezs8iTeQU9WApdnm6rqh9GUy_sT2axYP7bNbjtfBniJPwPsglweziEFTk5yg6oZ1LcQqonkRFFDgl6EDu0LYEh461QzUMyn3Sgc3O0L4MXVs/s1600/2011-09-22+16.23.01.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703081842125608898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDLjvKb1JxkLFOT_eY4j97q-_hGur6Ta9ezs8iTeQU9WApdnm6rqh9GUy_sT2axYP7bNbjtfBniJPwPsglweziEFTk5yg6oZ1LcQqonkRFFDgl6EDu0LYEh461QzUMyn3Sgc3O0L4MXVs/s400/2011-09-22+16.23.01.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhecv7aHpZY6rOyWzgz0d7hb5wULTHUH_VWgyab4E-xQqSTztdX6HtS3n1QhVhGN8ZsRnkHn4YKDWz4USI-xE5dgOkwmhWcS-xAnxSlr1akwWRDUk58_a4nBTeRCTcij4HNbqIAsg5XUaQ/s1600/2011-09-22+16.23.10.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703081843276487410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhecv7aHpZY6rOyWzgz0d7hb5wULTHUH_VWgyab4E-xQqSTztdX6HtS3n1QhVhGN8ZsRnkHn4YKDWz4USI-xE5dgOkwmhWcS-xAnxSlr1akwWRDUk58_a4nBTeRCTcij4HNbqIAsg5XUaQ/s400/2011-09-22+16.23.10.jpg" border="0" /></a> <strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;">The whole time he kept saying to himself...."What is she going to do with this thing?"

<br /><strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;">Well...I thought I would show y'all the most beautiful gift that was given to me a few months ago. I can't believe that I haven't posted about it already. We recently had a remodel done to the store where I work and several things were being tossed out. I've had my eye on this bookshelf for years....I've been working there for 11 years. I always said if they ever decided to get rid of this that I wanted first dibs to buy it. When my manager told me that it was <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">fixin</span>' to go...she even called me on my off day to tell me....(such a sweetheart)....I just knew I had to move quickly before it got tossed out. I called Stevie at his work and pleaded for him to leave his work and go pick it up for me. I know he was probably thinking, "What are they giving her now....more 'stuff' for her to put in storage." Well...he might of thought it but he certainly didn't say it to me. :) He went right then and there and picked it up for me and delivered it with a smile. Here he is trying to get it under my arch in my courtyard. It looks so much bigger than it did in the store.</span></em></strong>
