It’s in the Details…

I have been busy busy trying to get my Christmas decorating done….and I am a long way from done!!  But I realized I had not posted my finds at the Country Living Fair in Atlanta, so I thought I would do that.  As you may (or may not) know, I love the “smalls”….those little treasures that I can tuck into a little nook or cranny that just adds that something extra….it’s all about the details…so I suppose that is why I am drawn to the little things…..

Can you guess what I purchased in this photo?  The wasp nest….I LOVE these!  Steve looked at me like I had three heads when I took this out….he said, “I have torn many of those down and thrown them away.”  I said, well, don’t throw them away anymore….they are valuable!  I love their texture….

I also love old millinery….I’m not sure if I spelled that right….all I know is I love them…

those velvety leaves are just perfect!

I also got the basket with more flowers under the dome…..love it!

and these clothespins….

Little things you an just tuck anywhere….

It was dark and hard to get a good picture of my lamp….I love my lamp!  It’s RED!

You know I am freaky for little chairs too…

I got this one at Hobby Lobby…the little silver birds were my mom’s :)…I miss her…

The “Sadie”…I have been trying to get a photo of her FOREVER but she isn’t still long enough…..she is in CONSTANT motion….my other three “old” cats look at her like “what is WRONG with that cat?”

As you can see I was unpacking the Christmas “stuff”…

Hope to get a lot accomplished this weekend….I have high hopes….

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you all have a fabulous weekend :)

 

A little more CL

I had a few more photos to share of our Country Living “soiree” so I thought I would go ahead and share those…

This girl was a doll!  Personality and talent all over the place!  Her name is Molly and she and her husband, Brent are Barn Trash.

They make these fabulous pieces from doors!  Absolutely gorgeous stuff!  They are from Carlinville, Illinois and they were loving the South!  Well, what’s not to love ya’ll?

loved this coffee table and the top opened for storage….

Some more random shots….

Just in case you ran out of money….heaven forbid!

The end of a VERY long, but fun day….well, we still had to drive 3 hours home, and stop to eat, and stop at a Hobby Lobby….

and there are those PINK fingernails again…..sheesh!

This was a booth that Country Living had where you could go and get your picture made with some of your purchases, and they could, potentially, choose your photo to be in the magazine….well, I don’t look for that to happen as I don’t think our purchases were substantial enough….I did tell the little guy at the booth to not make me go back in there and buy a flippin armoire to haul out of there on my back so I can get my picture in Country Living!  Just sayin’…

The “silly” shot…

I will take some photos of my “stuff” as it is displayed about my humble abode and get those posted….

Than you for stopping by and have a GREAT week!!

Country Living Fair….Atlanta….

Oh-Em-Gee!!!!  WE LOVED IT!!!!  LOVED.IT!!  So much fun!!  I got up at 4:00 a.m. Friday morning and was at Sharon’s house at 6:00 a.m. and we headed for Stone Mountain, Georgia!  It was a three hour drive for us, but SO worth it!!  I wanted to go back Saturday!  I will NEVER miss another one!  The vendor’s were just AWESOME!!  Their Booths were Stunning!! Eye Candy GALORE!  We were overwhelmed….I ain’t EVEN lyin’ 

Every time we walked into one…we would just GASP!  We were there at 10:00 when the doors opened and we didn’t leave until almost 6:00 when we HAD to go….they made us!

LOVED SassyTrash!!  Loved them!

thought of Allison at the Polo House when I saw this…

Sharon loved this champagne bucket…

This arbor was SO cute!!!  The  Painted Fern….LOVED them!

It was made using windows and architectural pieces…I wanted it SO bad, but you had to come back Sunday to pick it up…

Sparkly…..

How cute is this guy??

Cari from Cash and Cari!  LOVED her!  She is just adorable!!  Sweet and gorgeous and TINY!!  I just TOWERED over her…I was so excited when I saw her!

Me and Sharon at the end of the day… I have more photos I will post later….with my purchases…

SO MUCH FUN!!!

I wish I could find some pink nail polish….just sayin’

The talent that all of these artisans have is just mind boggling!  The creativity….the flair, the spark….and personality!  They were ALL so sweet and kind and talked and cut up, it was just an Amazing day!  We laughed A LOT!  This was a pre-requisite to Warrenton and Round Top!!  WE ARE GOING!!!!  Did you hear that Debbie of Talking Trash?  We are coming your way in the Spring if it kills us….

Watch Out!!!

Thank you for stopping by!!

 

A Quickie…

Seth came home one day and told me that some friends of his were having a yard sale and he noticed they had a window that they were going to put in it and he asked if I wanted it….(yes, he knows me well)….of course I told him YES!  HE brought it home and I just hung it on the wall…

Every night I would look at it and “study it”….do ya’ll do that?  I do…all the time….so anyway I decided it needed paint….black paint….so I took it down and threw some paint on it…took me about 30 minutes or so….hung it back up and accessorized the area and this is what I got…

Oh yeah….moved the lamp over….raised the window up…it was too low…why didn’t I do that FOREVER ago???

I think it looks SO much better black….

cozied up the corner a bit…it is COLD here today…

You can see this is a checked chair….you know how I am about the gingham!  A FREAK for it!  Seriously…..rehab may be in order….NOT!

What do you think??

Thank you for stopping by :)

Country Living Fair tomorrow :) 

Driving in Atlanta    :0    :[    :0   :|    :0  

A Teensy Bit More Fall…

I tweaked the front porch a little more…just to add a little wheel barrow I found at Encore Resales in Birmingham…I loved it when I saw it but wasn’t really sure where I was going to use it and this seemed like the perfect place…

I have no idea if it is old or not, but it sure looks like it is….I just loaded it with “fall’ish” stuff, a crow and a candle and called it done…

That’s it for me today!  I am super excited as Sharon and I are heading to Atlanta on Friday to go to the Country Living Fair and we are pumped!  Wouldn’t you know it, a cold front is coming in tonight and it is supposed to be down in the 30’s at night and the high for Friday is 54!!  Breakin’ out the sweaters!!  We are having THE craziest weather this year!

Thank you for stopping by!
