Redecorating the Bathroom

One of the big projects I wanted to complete in time for the wedding was that of sprucing up the bathroom. We do not believe the house had a bathroom originally, so the room it now occupies was meant to be something else! It's a nice large size, so I'm thankful for that!
We had hoped to one day gut the whole room and start over, with a door into our new master bedroom. But life is just too short to do all the things we COULD do, if we had the time.



There is a Jacuzzi / "Baby Bear Swimming Pool" that is a little more of a bathtub that what I need (I dream of a porcelain claw-foot tub!).

I love "Laura Ashley number one" scent.

This is part of my collection of old hand towels. Many came from yard sales and thrift stores.

This one is my favorite! It's completely done by hand.

This is "Baby Bear's" shelf for his grooming supplies. The old chamber pot was found by Sayre in the woods at Bull Run.



I love this pretty mirror. It really sets the mood for this room. Pretty, simple, and old~fashioned.

The bust of the lady and the blue-capped talcum jar on the right, including the dish on which they all sit, were my Mother's.

I so enjoy getting out "the old stuff" and creating little vignettes in those special corners of the house. I find myself employing a bit of whimsy in many of my efforts, although I'm the only one that usually sees it! Thanks so much for sharing a minute or two with me!

Spring is Here!

Hello friends! Spring is springing all around us here on the farm. Every where I look, there are signs that The Great Creative Genius has once again preserved his handy work to remind me of his reality.
What a blessing it is to know that He made everything with a purpose, including you and me. Now matter what our circumstances, background, or shortcomings, we can only find fulfillment when we become rightly related to Him.

Last August, I planted the seeds (Botanical Interests) for these pansies (Carmel Spice) and was disappointed that they did not bloom in the fall. But now they are rewarding me with so many blooms, and even seed pods! Wow~they were sure worth the wait!

Now what do you think about this sweet face? His Mama has been out in the garden for the last month tending the vegetable garden, as well as this East Garden.
I could not do all my work without my children though. They do so much without a complaint.

All right, all right~ it's time to go in and fix "baby bear's porridge"!
