Bellas' new bandana

Bella had to visit our vet this week for her shots
and our vet gave her a new bandana
which I really like!
*
To tell you the truth my little Bella-boo
would look cute in any bandana.
because shes my little Boo-boo..  :)
*
And right now Im kind of feeling like her..
tired and a little under the weather today..
just feel like resting...
not up on the top of the couch like she loves to do... :)
*
*
But on my chaise or in my comfy bed..
Ill think Im on my way there now..
*
Good night my darlings,
and good-night from my Bella-boo too xoxo
*


With all my heart,
Deborah xo

Bella is my much-adored scottish terrier
and you can see her, her sweetheart hubby, and their puppies on the blog Ive made them at

with you...

Lets love, love, love....
with all our heart.

Country Charm

While we were enjoying the cottage
in Haliburton..
my brother suggested that he take my mom, sister & my niece
into Bancroft which was about 1/2 hour
away from the cottage.
He assured us that we would love this little shop there
So we all got ready and off we drove..
*
*
Who could have known we'd be in for such a treat!!!!
This country store is so adorable..
For me it was like opening my stocking on Christmas morning!
So many treasures inside and outside this shed..
*
*
Now I have to tell you that my brother has shared quite a few things
that Ive fallen head over heels with..
One was "blogging", the other Niagara on the lake,
and then The Old Tin Shed!
I think he knows me a little..dont you think?!
We had so much fun in here and we all laughed and giggled at so many
different plaques and their sayings..
*
*
So if you're ever in that neighbourhood
drop in and take a peek..
If you love "country" you wont be disappointed.
I found a necklace for my daughter made of suede and a silver heart hanging from it..
and I couldnt resist a little tin placque....
which is so appropriate for our home right now ..  :)
We have 5 dogs in our home right now..
3 of them are our dogs and 2 are the puppies from our March litter..
so you'd be understanding why this one caught my eye...  :)
*
Thanks for listening to yet another fun thing we did on holidays :)

Lovingly,
Deborah xoxo

Come with me and visit beautiful, lush Niagara on the lake!

*
*
Everything about this town is the lovliest!
This historic old town is gorgeous and so well taken care of..
Luscious flower baskets are everywhere
and romance is in the air...
*
*
*
Quaint little spots to sit and have a sip with the one you love...
*
*
How about a tour of Niagara on the lake in a horse-drawn carriage?
We actually went in one on our anniversary a few years ago
and it was a sweet time that I wont forget..
*
*
Many vineyards to see and visit..
lush grapes on the vine as far as the eye can see
*
*
And our favourite spots to which
we return again and again every year..
this romantic gazebo
right on the lake
*
We've never been here in the winter..
now that would be so pretty
with the snow...
:)

My Country Collage

Ok this is my first collage
that a sweet blogger friend
helped me to make..
Thankyou Chrissie at Flipflops and Applesauce !
*
You'll be seeing more of these in the days ahead
because I absolutely love them!
*
I made one or two before through Smilebox
which is great and fun
but these ones are just "right-in-your-face" and you dont have to click on them and wait.
So Im going to have fun with these!
*
Have a great evening ..
Ive got some photos to take this evening of my sisters new shop on Etsy!
Ill make a collage of her beaded embellishments and
show you soon!
You're going to love her creations!!
