I can hardly believe that it's been over a month since I've posted on here. December and January have been so busy for me. Things are starting to slow down a little and I am able to get a few things done around my little cottage. I've been working on my bedroom and master bathroom...still not finished with the bathroom. Doing it a little at a time and paying for it as I go. This picture is of a Tiffany lamp that I've had for about 16 years. I recently turned it into a table lamp to use on my dresser. It was a hanging lamp that I used in my dining room before I moved into my cottage. I found the base for it at a thrift shop for $12:00. I like it better this way.
Just a few of my favorite things on my dresser. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIXcAUIuG_geBixqPlPk28tb1NH1uyZhBcFMV7CX-EYVa4I-1V4dQxXsmRy8HZ7A4mnQaHNyRtXVDGYJdciq_LMbA648URc1caUJBbSQO7kWWfeqXh5lphEMYpbIrgeiB0plVet7DlfyE/s400/100_5084.JPG)
I love perfume. Looks like I have a collection of it. I used a crystal dish to keep it all together. I think it looks pretty like this.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJtiqsYHKUtFs69Vac_lbxBfjkQr7PRvtq2RGe3m-KRfo3scAh7Hmv-zsMXeveOc2o1yGILqu-YcDTQmoj9e1j77-C-JQ8EyKt-wf73szn5PZWCuvW9VV13CP_P2alfBbggUUyH8okCQM/s400/100_5083.JPG)
These are some prints that I bought years ago at market. They are signed and numbered from the artist Vicki Thomas. I framed them years ago when I had more of a formal decor. They were in storage and I ran across them the other day and decided to use them in my bedroom. They each have little children/fairies in them among the roses. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM-H-ismBlOy9ffils_7IWzA83sbyoMN14io6UwDzd3PLhD3jQAfM_RsyWqvaiqogS_TWU0Yf6tGT7nM0Uulddg8z2LInNZf6Bc1QPWhV1K1x1WSUOzQo1x1qnG2-TX_8i-nD9vJ8xDWM/s400/100_5079.JPG)
I realize now that I added this one sideways. Oh well...Isn't it pretty?![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0pUATAtO2lVLh1JwuVU745dkPU30fPlebBetuMjR-0JJuEWj5nDMjWE9k9uO-7tl9Y7awvqJ4a2quMovDmjx3Yd1pI3lQGDTRYWFPOw9xUHbIo1ch8kJKIKhBlmOvBLXbW8sglQdSoDk/s400/100_5080.JPG)
I love this one. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkFKjJR-KtkanPVPFA2QsWkRcbM4icjhEwtEn4ciHL6vvwSeNvJC3VvMXC_GIJH68-e14Nre1TLvCesDA5KXgI5b2VLqJxT9JPtnMkCuLlCsihrJRpGl3JbsOeEa3lf5orB8CXv0dYH4M/s400/100_5081.JPG)
Here is one of them hanging on my wall. My daughter bought me the candle a couple of months ago as a 'happy'. It's scent is Mulberry. One of my favorites.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqfzbaAvHOaAEEf_cWiqPq4TXCci7ziYaAxZf6i7aF4G-PNgAnlObmlg72Yhh4O2JzHfe1Pa6ReS-19vW4xwerPdqAvVci4kH-N5Ew2cET_dBJ_idZxsTo1nJLTS2Q6pJaAoHGc7jhjPk/s400/100_5076.JPG)
They all look so pretty grouped together.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN2z8IJXRBdCtBToEA1EdU_2URNdXIhrXX-86rpUwZTl5S6jBrVWfyTCXt9yyPqTYsMQ3XyBVbFWZfpl1uXAM-CbbKu-RzNJGcB9KCVXCDuq1a6GgmHLBIyL6FhFRX-SqMKkWGmm5NeFE/s400/100_5077.JPG)
I finally got around to painting my chest of drawers. I used a color called "Heirloom Lace" from Lowe's. I used it on all of my bedroom furniture. I love French Provincial furniture. Whenever I see it at thrift shops....my heart skips a beat. I try to figure out a place I can put just one more piece. My little cottage is getting full. :) ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix4pXuI5ins9itUqtumA0g4eXHDuHaXLhy1mbSw84DE4hQ1T0w0Hy5xrFSOOOM_rwjSShi_AOaw71Q4ZSfZHESHHDeuaHOGwo-zgFjTweS7taM9vh6yOhhij8igWwvuvEBUiIBMdQqHxA/s400/100_5089.JPG)
The piece on top was made for me for Christmas from a friend of mine and his step-dad. It was made for my t.v. and my DVD player. It even has a little place for my remotes. I actually painted it right where it sits because that old t.v. is so heavy and me being short I couldn't reach it anyway to move it. :)

This is a sweet little chair that I bought at a garage sale a while back. It was peach polished cotton. Remember when that was the style? I had it re-covered in a pretty soft ivory micro-fiber and cotton rose fabric that I bought at Walmart. I love it. My perfect reading spot. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGkFJC9ndvyARGq_-5mchWK4Z1aZdZhJfuuVx8CKKHU2MpMp5Izg3vkrDiNNIbyo52XKwgg039dMRezWPf5LCehjrtLU6CFjtslGxg5Xhm8SpHVw6wSNhnwCIqf1gN4w532k2MLDZK3Fs/s400/100_5093.JPG)
This is one of my Christmas presents...an electric fireplace. My ex-husband bought it for me. My room didn't have heat except for a small electric heater that took forever to warm up. I put my rose screen behind it. I think it looks pretty like this. Of course, after the 'new' wears off, I will probably paint it too. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtqurlaNv3g99QfT-0oc5FECcGLOkyiwAVMt91f0N2BrFOhnEpI-TcDuyTd96HK5In4ftf9VAgrf4zhZ7htYTdUx7WosqYthc5opWJy3N93hG1IqByPZO4H5MMc-TioPut_jwHpMeEhwo/s400/100_5091.JPG)
The 'thing' between my chest of drawers and fireplace is not a ghost. lol I put a tablecloth over my cable box and modem to hide them. lol I don't like seeing them or their wires. This is only temporary. I'm working on a little project today just for them. I'll post after I get it finished.
