Bathroom Dreaming

My upstairs bathroom is the only room in my apartment that I haven't done anything with. You would probably be shocked at how bad it looks...too bad to even share here. I would be embarrassed! Actually I hope to someday show you but not until I can post the "after" pictures along with it.  The reason I haven't touched it is that I don't have a clue which color I should paint it.  It's now a yucky

I've been shopping for you!

I've been out shopping for my Vintage Etsy Shop and I'll be stocking it with more things soon! I have two of these beautiful covered vegetable serving dishes.  The little pink roses are so dainty! 

I also found this cute little creamer.  I think it would make a wonderful vase for a little bouquet!

I'll be adding more things to my shop in the next couple of days.  Click on "Shop" at the top of

Show and Tell Friday

Amazing!

When I was taking photos of the vine-covered homes for yesterday's post I had to snap a photo of this beautiful Victorian to share with you! It's also in the Willow Glen area of San Jose, California.  I've seen this home through the years (actually decades) but it is more beautiful now than ever! I love these soft colors and how they make the red roses pop! This photo was actually taken through

Vine-Covered Charm

I've always been attracted to vine-covered homes!  They just draw me in and take my breath away!  This home above is in the Willow Glen area of San Jose, California.  It's a huge home that wraps around a large corner lot. It's so large that I can't even fit the whole home in the picture.  Here's the view as you drive up the street towards it...Oh-so-charming!

Cheesy Crab Bread

On Sunday I went to my brother David's home for a BBQ.  David is an amazing cook and his food is always great but this time he made a Cheesy Crab Bread that was to die for!!!  I'm sure when I weigh in at Weight Watchers this week I'll be cursing this stuff but really it was so worth it!  I was so tempted to make it again when I came home but I resisted the urge.
