I am so happy you let me know about this wonderful blog you have here! I feel like I am looking at the glossy pages of the best decorating magazines. You have many talents!, Decorating, photography and your words! I said this before.. you are not JUST a housewife! I was touched by your latest on your mother. Those are not just dreams those are "visits". I lost my father 12 years ago and I believe anything is possible. I have been told those "dreams" that you remember so vividly are meant to be that way so they stand out from the rest and you know your loved one still sees what is going on in your life. I have had some odd ones myself! Keep creating wonderful pictures, stories and the like for us to enjoy. Now that I have found your page I am going to be a frequent guest! Take care.

I have too many pretty things and like to change everything so I can use it all. If I leave things too long (like now for autumn) it makes me feel restless and I need to change things again. <BR/><BR/>I love seeing your stacks of books. I love using books to decorate. They are to add the right color, height and feeling. <BR/><BR/>I was just moving my furniture around again yesterday and still am not satisfied. I was thinking I need a new table to put by the couch. There is none there now after the moving around. LOL! It is because I moved my antique embroidery table up to my quilt studio along with a chair from my living room. I now have an old~fashioned sewing corner by the window in the studio. So I am very much in the changing mode right now.<BR/><BR/>~~ Heidi ~~Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306674979528881706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884914321755768425.post-68862985981460572912007-10-15T23:59:00.000-04:002007-10-15T23:59:00.000-04:00Mary,Your table tops are beautiful!

I have always wanted a huge closet to hold all my decorations, so I could rotate, and rearrange whenever I was in the mood. I hardly have any storage space, so I pass up wonderful items when shopping.<BR/>PennyPenny from Enjoying The Simple Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01480355122441712250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884914321755768425.post-79785079498797693922007-10-15T20:57:00.000-04:002007-10-15T20:57:00.000-04:00Mary, You could diffidently get a job doing table ...Mary,<BR/> You could diffidently get a job doing table tops .... yours are so endearing...

Reading about the little box, reminded me of a clock my great-grandmother had. There was a bird in and instead of a second hand, the bird moved as if taking a worm from the ground. I used to watch this for hours in her home and always wondered what would happen one day if the bird really got the worm out? Hmm, now to search for that clock. It would make a lovely display on my end table.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884914321755768425.post-43856402551943724252007-10-15T15:16:00.000-04:002007-10-15T15:16:00.000-04:00I am so with you dear Mary!

But when you look a little closer, you realize there's no tables on either side of the sofa and the chairs are sitting off by themselves, no tables with them either. It makes me crazy! You HAVE to have side tables or the room just doesn't feel "used and homey" to me. Right? Am I alone in this? Nah....most of us humans need tables. Don't we??? Just say "yes" and I'll leave you alone.
