This one has to be my favorite. Everything you wrote here speaks to my heart,and if you and I lived closer we would surely be great friends! I so love your pretty cabinet. I have one very similar that I've been wanting to paint & paper for a long time. Maybe this fall I will get it done now that you have inspired me again!!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Stephanie<br />Angelic AccentsStephanie ~ Angelic Accentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08612013128110737563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-74057259962975101582009-08-07T03:07:53.513-05:002009-08-07T03:07:53.513-05:00Hello, absolutely love your blog, thank you for sh...Hello, absolutely love your blog, thank you for sharing it !BALLET NEWShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092798152281062087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-56671408692354311442009-08-05T11:38:58.856-05:002009-08-05T11:38:58.856-05:00Oh my friend, how I wish I could have gone on this...Oh my friend, how I wish I could have gone on this "escape" with you!

It took me days to bring all the "stuff" home. Not only was there "stuff" of Mom's but she also had "stuff" of my GrandMother's & Great Great Aunts. <br />I got everything from a Rock Maple Diningroom set to zillions (exageration of course) of pieces of depression glass. My Mom was a collector too!!<br />So-o-o-o all I have to do is unpack some boxes & redo a vignette....<br />I just love "stuff"...Don't you!!<br />Love,<br />MarilynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-47639861071790205832009-08-04T09:51:02.769-05:002009-08-04T09:51:02.769-05:00Good thing you made your escape.

As you have probably read by now, our precious Amy is going to be getting some food today her hyperal in preparation of her upcoming surgery. Her surgery is going to be scheduled Dr.Medina is hoping for 1 week from tomorrow Wednesday, but if no the following Monday. It will be at the Presbytarian hospital. Debbie said this is somewhere by the VA I believe. She loves the hospital there though. When I found out for sure when it will be, I will let you know so you could pop over there for me, and see how everything is going. Debbie will not eat right or take care of herself I am sure. She will be sleeping at the hospital as they will not be able to afford to drive back and forth. It is going to be so hard on her. I worry so. I will feel good knowing you pop in and check up on her for me. I so wish I could be there. Thank you for everything Rebecca. I will be home the last week in Sept. and first week in Oct. and Debbie and I are coming to have lunch with you. I just have to meet you in person.

You know I could kick myself for not getting the same cabinet at a yard sale a year ago. But the true fact is I'm running out of room on my walls. Please I need a home with more space and high walls. It's so hard to pass something up you like and just knowing how you would want it. See that's the problem by having a vision and not being able to do it, but in your head. Anyways you have it set up so lovely as usual. <br /><br />Hugs-Sandy~Romantique Inspirations~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05460262354481955991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-34165356142165490292009-08-04T07:55:56.906-05:002009-08-04T07:55:56.906-05:00Good morning sweet ~r~,

My DH would have not even given me a comment ... OR ... there would have been a huge 'groan', & a '... now whatcha' gonna do with it'.<br /><br />It is beautifully filled with your treasures. <br /><br />Have a beautiful day ...

My husband always kids me about all of this( stuff) as he calls it, I like to call them treasures. LOL. He also asks me where will I put it, and I say "if you think I have lots of (stuff), you should see my blogging friends homes they have lots of treasures."<br /><br />I love your cabinet it is so beautiful and so are those two lovely ladies who adorn it's shelves.<br />As always I enjoy coming by for a visit.<br />Blessings,<br />SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16949983164111997270noreply@blogger.com
