make it, always has been,
always will be.

There are ALWAYS flowers...
There are always flowers
for those who want
to see them.
-Henri Matisse
 |
| AND... I want to see 'Foxgloves', how about YOU??? With their fairy shaped bonnets & spotted throats! These biennial, BLOOMING beauties bring rewarding moments to ANY garden! Be sure to sow dozens of seeds for they come with MUCH needed patience... from start to finish! |
 |
| May ALL your gardens grow with love... BLESSED Sunday... from my home to YOURS! |

HOME... is where the story begins...
Collect things you love,
that are authentic to you,
and your house
becomes your story.
-Erin Flett
Goodness... it's already the second month
of another year & that fast it's February 17th!
Everyday means a closer step
toward spring, a renewal time of year!
And... here at the farm, it brings on a change
of things about the home! I love trading
places & spaces with some of my favorite
pieces around the house!
The focus EVERY year is simplicity...
that means cleared counter space;
less furniture & NO rugs/throw rugs,
JUST texture tile & smooth hardwood!
Oh, by the way... these ADORABLE
grouping of VINTAGE creamers are up
for offer over at the...

| (THIS grouping of IRONSTONE has been SOLD) Then there's ironstone... there could NEVER be enough said, IRONSTONE can create that warm, SIMPLE feeling inside ANY home! If you're like me... you have several different collections & there's more times than not... a story is carried with them OR the reason for becoming a collector of one particular piece! I say with EACH season... there comes this nesting mood to CREATE a homey feeling... BUT, not at the expense of a cluttered look, SO choose those collections carefully!  (This grouping of GOODS has been SOLD) |
If you're like me... you have several
different collections & it's okay
to mix & match! I like to
keep a warm, solid tone flowing...
as ABOVE, mixing in some
white milk glass along side the
ironstone... gives it dimension,
as the white patina from the
VINTAGE concrete does as well!
AND... the nesting of SPRING
isn't complete without adding a touch
of herbs, whether it be dried OR fresh!
It's all about creating
that HOME;
your home; my home;
her home; his home; their home!
Don't miss the SMALL things
that speaks YOUR story!
SPRING IS COMING...

~ SWEET 2 The Soul...
The desire to accomplish is sweet to the soul...
Proverbs 13:19
 |
The farmhouse has been a BUSY gathering place... a busy that brings a WELCOMING warmth for me, one that soothes the soul, one that can mend the broken counterparts! It's been filled with the ringing of laughter, the smiles of genuine folks & my closest family! |
The farm table was adored with...
SIMPLICITY & charm; faux greenery
as a filler for crock & FRESH greens
tucked providing a whimsical look!
And an ole' VINTAGE, pillar candle...
one of two, I found in my shop/business stash!
THIS pair of candles have literally been
with me for... at least 10 years!
I know... can YOU believe that???
They're ONLY lite during guest hours... &
then safely tucked away for the next gathering
OR need... they have actually been rented out before,
NOW that's a hoot, even to myself!
That goes to show you...
it's NOT in the expense of things...
it's ALL in the taste/style!
 |
Oh... & you see the superb, chenille bedspread, don't YOU??? It too, was an inexpensive find... TRULY to my up-most surprise... to believe someone could actually part with a FINE, vintage piece, is BEYOND me & for ONLY $5.00, yep... you heard that right, a $5.00 bill! SO... as I've began to tidy & FRESHEN each of the rooms, I'm being drawn back to THIS chenille piece... trying to decide, do I keep it OR does it come up for offer over at Beehind Thyme MarketPlace...hummmm, the decisions a lady has to make! |
 |
| As Christmas decor is being put to rest... there are some things that JUST have to remain... living treasures, which give life to one's soul... as THIS Christmas cactus does, for it carries my PRECIOUS 'Momma's' memories! SO... for now, it will stay planted in the sunniest location here in my kitchen, until the heart says... it's time to return to the greenhouse & wait for yet another Christmas season! |
 |
| And for NOW... the twinkling of lights stay put, for the BRIGHTNESS... it brings throughout these January days, lifts the spirit of things! Here's to a NEW year filled with... hopes & dreams, accompanied with daily devotions & prayers! ~ With SINCERE thoughts... |
