More White Wednesday at The Seedbox Antiques

I still have some wonderful photos that I took at the Christmas Open House at The Seed Box Antiques this last November. I saved these until after the New Year because they aren't so "Christmas-y". Below is a cabinet with whom I'm secretly having a love affair. Yes, a chippy, white, shabby, curvy, love affair. (I'm afraid my husband knows...)

I'm guesting over at The French Cupboard today.

To see more fabulous-ness come on over!

Have a wonderful White Wednesday,

love,

Vintage Inspiration Friday#19 Inspired Friendships

"Vintage": a season's produce of grapes; wine from this

wine of high quality from a year or district

high quality from the year of a person's work

a superior harvest

classic

mature

For the last three days I've had the blessing of sharing my life with a truly amazing person. Neither one of us knew exactly the reason for the visit, other than God had a plan for us to meet. Talking, laughing, shopping, praying and eating. We did all those things with renewed purpose and energy. If anyone tries to tell you that blogging friends aren't REAL friends then they need to start a blog, and let them find out for themselves.

We "met" 18 months ago when I first started blogging, then grew in our maturity and friendship as I started my Bible Study Blog. Her comments were insightful, prayerful, and uplifting. She challenged me for expanding my thinking and prayer life. She is a strong, loving, and spiritually passionate woman.

And now I can really call her friend.

So even though we might be considered "vintage", we have celebrated our lives, relationships, friendships, creativity, passions, and our love for God. And as Luke 5:39 would testify, "And no one, after drinking old wine wishes for new; for he says, 'The old is good enough.'"

Rebecca Ersfield For Vintage Living aka a RE-Purposed Life. She's driving 8 hours home, please pray for her safety in traveling and for the plans that God has revealed this week.

White Wednesday: just can't miss...

I've participated in every White Wednesday with Kathleen

since she started, 18 months ago, except twice.

(the first one, and then once when I was in the hospital)

So I didn't want to miss this one.

My little "Winter Madonna" planter is in my Dining Room

and I've so enjoyed her over the Christmas Season.

I think she's going to stay.

I'm expecting a special house guest for a day or two.

I'll share with you for Vintage Inspiration Friday.

love,

Debra

New Year's Tree

One of my favorite posts was my New Year's Tree from last year.

Since I have my new camera I wanted to take some new pics of it

setting in my foyer.

Instead of reposting it and just changing out the photos

I'm inviting you to click here to take a moment to experience my thoughts on

The Gift of Time.

 

My life has changed in this last 18 months of blogging;

thank you for your dear friendships and fellowship.

Sending Blessings and God's Love for 2011!

Debra
