It is snowing like crazy outside & I think I may have a bit of cabin fever! They called school off today as well so it is reruns of "Sponge Bob" here at the Nelson Household. No Martha or hgtv for me! I played around a bit with this little area of my armoire. Yesterday I decided to paint my ole Rooster lamp red. I was tired of his original plumage. In looking at everything I realize he is the only thing I bought new. Everything else is either a garage sale or thrift find. The old crochet/knitting needles are a fun touch of whimsy....no I don't crochet or knit...YET. I was attracted to their bright colors and thought it was cool to think of how they were once used in a creative project. They remind me of those bright aluminum cups that many had back in the day. I use to always pick those cups to drink from at my grandparents house. Please humor me if I have written to much!

Hi Cherry - I'm so glad to meet you. Thank you for visiting my blog today and leaving a nice comment. I see that you are new to blogging too. Isn't if fun! I tell you, the joy I have gotten from the blogging I have been doing can't be measured. It's only been about 4 weeks since I started visiting blogs, and about 2 or so weeks since I started my own blog. In that short period I feel like a whole new world has opened up to me. I'll add you to my blogs list so I can check in with you often :o)
Hi Cherry..I wanted to come see your blog and say hi!
Cherry I'm so glad it snowed today so we could see your lovely new arrangements. All of your treasured pieces look so pretty and I love the rooster lamp in red. And I bet the snow looks awesome too. RJ
Loved looking at your pictures...everything is so wonderfully displayed. I really like the rooster lamp.
Hi, Cherry, thanks for stopping by to see me! I see you are a busy girl too...and you are still into thrifting & yardsales...me too! Please stop back by when you get a chance & I'll do the same for you.

Pretty treasures! And I know what it's like being cooped up with children who'd rather be outside playing... too much SpongeBob and not enough Mommy-TV! =)

How lovely are your treasures and your blog Cherry. Why am I just finding it? And you live in OR too! I so adore OR. We had three glorious years out there in Corvallis. Drop by for a visit with me when you can.
