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...)

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!

Vintage Inspiration Friday #18 Counting Down to the New Year
So, I have this sideboard in my hallway.
It's really too big for the space, but it's in sight of the kitchen
and I walk by it a million times a day.
It's my favorite spot to decorate along with my sunroom.
But the sideboard gets totally redone each month.
(slight obsession here)
I've wanted to put together a shelf filled with my tarnished silver
and thought that celebrating the beginning of the New Year
would be perfect "timing".
I realize that it's not the best fit, but it will probably only be here for a few weeks.
I'd love to have a cabinet just for my silver, but as yet I haven't figured that one out.
Please try and ignore the ginormous brass doorbell and ill placed thermostat.
(shhhhh...I'm already planning my Valentine Display)
Here are a few photos and links of some of the posts from last week.
Just some fun photos that deserve a shout out!
grumpy Santa
a live nativity
gorgeous wire tree
Everything Dore does is amazing!
Wall of angels
deer friends
Hope you'll join the party.
Any Vintage Inspiration!
I'm also joining in to:
Have a wonderful and safe New Year's Eve!
Big hugs and lotsa love,
Debra

Top Projects of 2010
This year seems to have been a year when I went from project to project.
Seeing all the great inspiration out here in blogland from you all,
definitely lit a fire under my fanny
to lighten and brighten and "whiten" up my home.
I tried a few things that I never would have thought about before
...slipcovering two red chairs in my Living Room,
and adding chair slips to my Dining Room chairs.
Oh, but I'm so glad I did, and I don't regret one little ounce of paint or sweat!
I'm linking up to Rhoda for her Top Projects Party,
can't wait to see what everyone else has been doing this year!
And Kim at Savvy Southern Style
If you've visited from a party hope you'll come back!
hugs,
Debra
Holy Matrimony
Today is our Anniversary and I wanted to share a little of what I did yesterday.
The urge to re-do the hall sideboard got the better of me,
but I'm only showing one shelf of my makeover.
I found this Marriage Certificate from December 30, 1924
and decided it needed to be the focal point for my creative project.
I love old documents, and the graphics and fonts on this are just beautiful.
It makes me a little sad to think this wonderful keepsake found it's way to a flea market.
December 28, 1972
Still in love all these years later...

Today I'm linking up with Kathleen for White Wednesday
And Marty for Table Top Tuesday
Come join in for
Vintage Inspiration Friday
I'm showing the rest of my re-do.
(It's a silver extravaganza!)
love you all,
Debra
