~~~~~~~~~~~~SNOW....KLAHOMA~~~~~~~~~~~ And I Gotta Get Outta Here

SNOW...klahoma
Where the cold front's sweepin' down the plain

And the piles of sleet, beneath your feet
Follow right behind the freezing rain.

SNOW...klahoma

Ev'ry night my honey lamb and I

Travel home from work and hope some jerk

Doesn't wreck our car in passing by!

We know we belong to the land
But it could use some more salt and more sand

That's why we say...WHOA!
We're the sliding the other way...YIKES!

We're only sayin'

You're slick as snot SNOW…klahoma

SNOWklahoma
SNOW-K-L-A-H-O-M-A

SNOWklahoma, SNOW-K!

Note to "Sweet Tea":

If you TELL ME ONE MORE TIME how gorgeous and warm it is in my homeland (um...that would be Cali for all you who don't know!) I'm going to SOCK-IT-TO you! :)

All joking aside...the weather and road conditions here in Oklahoma are truly terrible and just this morning an SUV plunged off a bridge in Miami, Oklahoma and three of the eight passengers were killed.  This is serious stuff.  Prayers go out to everyone...

Love to you...

~ROMANTIC SHABBY COTTAGE CHIC PRETTIES~ What's Coming Up Next

 ~HAND PAINTED PRETTIES~

From A Gathering Place

I've spent the last several weeks working on SIX different customized Gathering Cases TM (refurbished vintage Train Cases) and I'm happy to say I'm completely caught up!  What an awesome feeling!  Once the last two are delivered (both are going to Italy!) I promise to show you pictures of the final product!

~OLD SPICE JARS and VTG WOODEN BASKET~

Now...since I'm completely SNOWED IN here in Oklahoma (and this Cali Native still thinks it's the pits) I've done tons and tons of base painting on new shabby cottage chic pretties!  I snapped a handful of sweet pictures a few days ago and all but one of the items you see above are ready to be photographed and then uploaded to my website.  I hope by tomorrow afternoon to have everything listed for sale!

 ~VINTAGE METAL LUNCH BOX~

Some of my favorite things will be offered up including this charming old metal lunch box!  My daddy use to carry one just like this!

 ~VINTAGE SEWING DRAWER~

This darling old sewing drawer is a keeper!  It's perfect for holding rolled up hand-towels or washcloths in a romantic bath or can even be used as a serving dish for bread or crackers!  Possibilities are endless!

 ~SEWING DRAWER...SEW CHIC~

Here's another shot of the vintage sewing drawer!

 

~LOTS OF SWEET FINDS~

I know it's hard to tell in this photo, but there is also a vintage writing desk, a darling metal box that is similar to an old train case (this little sweetie is fabuloso and sooo cottage chic!) and also two sets of faux stacked books!  Can't wait for you to see them all transformed!

I'm thinkin' I need to get snowed in more often!  Keeps me from runnin' around junkin' and slummin'! :)

Hope you are having an awesome day!  I'm toasty warm here in my La Chaumière de Briarwood, but make NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT...I'M LONGING FOR SPRING!

Love to you...

~JUST SO YOU KNOW...Our Oklahoma Weather is the PITS~

~GO AWAY SNOW~

Dear Peeps...

As you've probably seen on the news the State of Oklahoma is truly in terrible shape.  We are snowed in here at my La Chaumière de Briarwood and we aren't even going to attempt to go anywhere for at least a couple of days...maybe more!

My internet connections keep going and up and down so until some of the snow melts and warmer temps thaw the ice off I will only be posting sporadically for the remainder of the week.  As soon as I can I'll share with you the fun things I had originally planned!!!

Hope the weather is better where you live!  It's on days like this I'm sooo thankful I'm self-employed!

Blessings to you and love...
