Pssst..Hey Richardson's....I See You

In my Christmas Card letter this year, I mentioned that I had a blog. I didn't give the address or a link or anything. I just mentioned it. And, then about a month later, I checked my Guestbook over there to the left. My college buddy Cindy left a message, then my favorite Uncle Bobby left one and now my favorite cousin Tracy left one. My Dad talked to my Aunt Do-Do (not her real name) and she mentioned my blog. (She may have well as mentioned my schnorkenwedgell because he doesn't know what a blog is anyway). I am very pleased that there are other computer savvy people in my family. Yeah! So, if there are any others reading - leave a comment or sign my Guestbook! I will also refrain from telling any more embarrassing stories about my Dad since I know they are reading. (But, in case you missed this one, it's a good one.) Oh, and Happy Birthday to him today.

I'm working on rearranging my stuff, getting rid of things that I've decided have been around long enough and bringing in some of my treasures that I have acquired over the past year.

The Bean and I pick up heart shaped rocks when we go on our journeys. I picked up this old shadow box last summer. I painted it white and distressed it. The big heart rock fills up the one side and the little ones are scattered about. A couple are "pressing it" as far as being heart shaped, but we just have to find one when we go looking!
This is my collection of old spools and fishing net bobbers. An odd asortment, but I think they look interesting displayed this way. The blue glass on the right is a stained glass lamp that lights up and makes the fishing bobbers glow too.
This is outside on the porch as part of my blue and white winter decor. I got those blue glass suncatchers at an outlet store for 38¢ each, but never knew what to do with them. The porch was in dire need of a bit of color, so this idea popped into my head. (Yeah, I know, I should have moved the broom out of the photo!)
My big basket of marble eggs. I've had some of these for years. This is the time of year that I usually find more, so I am sure a new one will be added before too long. I prefer the natural stone colors, but The Bean likes the more garrish brightly colored ones. There is a fine line between everyday home decor and "the Easter Bunny is coming"!


This is the old window I used to display the Christmas Cards this year. I decided I liked the look of it, so I am displaying my newest collection of rusty stars on it. The two hanging in the panes are Christmas ornaments from the thrift for 50¢ each. The two medium ones were Christmas tree toppers scored at Target for 75% off. The big one came from that old store from a post a few days ago. It was $12.00. I like the display, but it needs a pop of color. Especially with the big new "Eh" couch which is similar in color. Eh.
