Asking the age old question...

Oh I know, we've all heard it...

usually it's our husband's asking us,

 but right now I'm asking myself;

"where are you going to put that?"

and the answer is... 

well...

I'm not sure...

but it was one of those things 

I've been looking for and when I found it...

it came home with me.

A wonderful old medicine cabinet with the perfect "chippy factor";

 sturdy, and a good size, too.

It will end up somewhere...I'm sure of it.

(I thought it was a bargain for $30 at Relics.)

And on another random note, I wanted a more muted Fallish look for my twin sofas in the Living Room so I was looking for a soft floral with some autumnal tones. ("pretend pillow" below)

Then, I found some more yardage of a fabric

 I had used last Fall for a table runner.

(I noticed Yvonne and I have had the same idea)

My next project it to make simple pillows

for the twin sofas.

you know the saying,

"simple is as simple does"

that's me.

no cording, no fringe, no hair pulling.

this time, just plain pillows.

I still love my frenchy toile ones,

but wanted something different for Fall.

We had rain last night, 

thank you Lord.

We live a long way from the official rain gauge site, but I think it must have been well over an inch, as our parched ground is still wet this afternoon. I'm hoping our weather patterns are in for a change. It's about time. Days on end of the 100+ temps and no rain has been horrible. All my birdies and outside critters are doing the happy dance today! 

I'll be linking up to these party places this week:

Vintage Inspiration # 99 Miss Gracie's House

Welcome to Vintage Inspiration...

the place where you can come and share your love for all things vintage

and stay, to be inspired.

Rene had been blogging for over a year when I started. She was one of my first "go-to" blogs for wonderful vintage white inspiration. Her photos have an ethereal quality, that draw the reader in and create an atmosphere of yesteryear. Each post is not only a chronicle of her life, but shares a "message" on living.

We've seen the transformation of her lovely farmhouse...

And we've gotten to know her through her posts on her wonderful family,

loving marriage, and her deep love for God.

We've seen room by room as she has touched her home

 with a soft kiss of white.

Rene's husband transforms her "vision" into reality...

And we've wished that we could have been there
for her yearly Barn Sales.

And now, she and her hubby have just completed their newest project...

This looks like camping in style!

If you haven't met Rene 

then please take this opportunity to go by and say Hello,

then fall in love with...

Miss Gracie's House

Jen from City Farmhouse shares her Dining Room Reveal.
