ONE YEAR!
It has been one year since I started this blog!
I can't believe that much time has gone by!
Thanks for staying with me during the incredible year

and for all the new friends I met and wonderful things I have learned from all of you!

Since our house is on the market, and we will be relocating, that means Another house!

Another house to turn into a HOME! That means all new projects, photos and ideas to gather!

I am so happy I have a wealth of inspiration out there with my Blogger friends!
This next year of Blogging will be interesting!

Craigslist mirror FIND!

This mirror was on Craigslist for $35! I called, met a nice lady (who has a nice Shabby Chic home) and got it home.I placed it in front of my mantel Acorn-shaped mirror already hung there.

I put it on the mantel since there was no other place to put it right now... and it looked so good I am leaving it there till time to pack it! Turned out to be Empire style...(my style!) It is smaller than the one I already had, but well made and in almost perfect condition! Not bad for $35! AND I met a nice gal who does Shabby Chic and collects some interesting things. We talked for a 1/2 hr while she gave me a tour of her creative home! I am introducing her to Blogging!

What you are seeing in these two mirrors is Duncan Phyfe and Empire mix, they play off each other since they are both in the same style and era. They both are made of mahogany and have a mahogany wood backing.
