Quilts and other comforts

Thoughts of snuggling with a cozy throw....

This colour would be my choice..so soft and coastal...

Cosied up with a pillow decorated with oh-so-lovely lavender..

lavender is spelled   r o m a n c e  to me..

The texture of these quilts makes me ooh-and-awe...

Now we're talking comfort...a lavender bath...

and an inviting luxurious bathrobe just waiting to hug you..

which you've just taken from inside this dreamy armoire....ooh-la-la


and then to cuddle in this endearing little spot...
~
Oh the absolute bliss of enjoying  a rainy Saturday morning
with such comforts...
~
Hoping you get to be comfortable this week-end 
my dear friends..   :)


With all my heart..Deborah xoxo

Warming up...

Im beginning to...
look out the window at natures changes...
get a little melancholy now and then...
reach for my sweater more often...
turn up the heat a little...
make a hot comforting drink in the evening before bed...
grab a blanket when I watch a movie...
pull my comforter a little tighter when I get under the covers at night...
warm up my car before I leave for work at 5.45 in the morning...
light some candles after sunset...
think about setting out some autumn decor...
get ready for Thanksgiving (here in Canada its in October)
count my blessings...
I have so much to give thanks to God for...
~
Are you warming up to Autumn?


With all my heart...Deborah \0/

Before and after the fact

Before
~
Heres my cute road-side find that my hubby brought home for me recently!
I liked it instantly....it brought a smile to my heart to think that he'd be watching out for
something that I'd like
~
Here it comes!

After

~
~
and I think I found the perfect spot for it!
And I think my wooden box found its new spot too..right on top of the new shabby table...
and that table was a free road-side find..
Not too shabby eh?  lol
Well...maybe so!

My newest addition

~
This is my newest addition
a wooden box (I think it said Schneiders on it..lol)
that I found around the house
and decided it would look more attractive in turquoise..
with a kind of white-washed look
because I had first painted it white.
~
The netted starfish I've had around for a long time
and the white adirondack chair was sitting on my bedside table
but I found a new home for it with a sea-side shell to keep it company :)
I'm going to attempt to paint my living room "garage-sale find" shelves (my hunny found them 2 years ago and had them in the shed..I didnt even know!)
He put a bead-board backing on them because they're thick and so they'd hang onto the wall more securely..
Cant tell you how excited I am to have those ready and up!
Also, a dear friend of mine is giving me his pine corner unit (that belonged to his mother)
because he knows I loved it
and so I'm painting that white and am going to treasure it always
and the kind heart that is sending it my way :)
Thank you Bill!

And I have to show off my new cup I bought at Chapters this summer
while we were vacationing!
It's called "I'm not a paper cup"
Its porcelain and it has a silicone lid on it.
This morning I have half coffee and half hot chocolate in it (a very favourite hot drink of mine)
I really love my cup..
and love that theres no handle on it
so it fits in my car cup-holder proudly..lol
But I use it around the house too..because it has a lid, its great to keep my drink hot while I carry it around with me while doing my chores.. :)
I've never really been a "refill" cup-lover until this.
They are available at Chapters book store (and gifts)
for about $22.00
It really looks like a paper cup though doesnt it?
My momma thought it was..the other day she asked me if I had just bought a coffee at "Twiggs"
which is a coffee shop that has paper coffee cups similar to this..
I had to giggle and tell her all about it!
~

~
Well hope everyone has a happy day!
Im off to get my paintbrush and finish those shelves!
I've got to make room for the other projects I have waiting to be attacked..
This one is almost done..
Can you guess what its becoming?


Lovingly,
Deborah xoxo

Seasons greetings and Merry Christmas!
