THE BIG ONE

My husband.....the Great White Hunter...has not got one this season.  Thank goodness this is the last week.  Maybe, just maybe, I can get him to do a few things around here. (yea right).  Anyway, since I had gotten used to the idea of having a live-dead animal hanging over my fireplace, I decided to take matters into my own hands.  I was shopping around in a small shop the other day and low and behold, this puppy was just waiting for me to bring him home! 

I could not leave without him!!  He is made from (I think) sheet metal and tack welded together.  Cool huh?  I guess the Great White Hunter will have to wait till next year and shoot for a real one.  I just hope it has horns!!

My Problem

I....have a problem.  At least thats what my family tells me.  But,  as we all know..some folks just don't get it!  I NEED to have a cozy environment, other wise I would probably go nutty.  There are 2 or 3 styles of decor I have fell for, and I have tried to combine them all in 1 house.  I am constantly moving and changing and purging.  The only thing is, although purging is a good thing, I always replace with other things.  Its a constant rotation untill I get just the way I want it.  But, do we ever get it just the way we want it?  There is always something we (I) just haft to have!

My family calls me a hoarder...But, they have never seen those hoarding shows on TV.....so, Iam not a hoarder.  Over the years, I have had several different styles of decor, such as Traditional, Asian, Cutesie country, French County......untill recently, I have settled on this combination of French Farmhouse Junk Style..for the lack of a better title. 

What it really is, a combination of all the stuff I like..mixed and definately NOT matched.  Just stuff.

This area is in a addition to the house..we just call it the Sunroom,  I found the vintage glider in a junk pile, and fixed it up. 

This is a wall in my Kitchen..see what I mean?  Just a mismash of styles.

No matter what it is called...I just love it!! 

What would you call it??  I would LOVE to know!!!

Take Care!  Rhonda

When Is Enough....Enough???

Hey everyone! I was looking around the house and rearranging and deleting some stuff, and decided to show you all my collection of Milk Glass for White Wednesday..Night that is.  I started collecting milk glass a few years ago..lost interest and got rid of most of it.  My Grandmaw passed several years ago and I ended up with a few pieces of hers, so I started it up again.  I pick it up here and there, but it varies so much in price..kinda crazy really.  I think Iam crazy for having so much of it..I can't stop.

                                      See, told ya!!!

A Few Pictures with My New Camera

Sorry I havent been around...my camera up and died on me and I just got another from my oldest son for Christmas.  I wanted to go ahead and post a few Christmas pictures..not many..not to bore anyone.  I wish this aluminum tree would show up better than this..it really looks much prettier in person. 

     I had landscaping burlap around the bottom as a skirt..but, my weiner dog decided to weewee on it, and I took it up!

     Never mind my ugly kitchen..(Just look at the weiner!)

   I did not have the drive to decorate much this year..bad new runs rampant around here at Christmas-time.
I will be back with my awesome new present and some other goodies! 
      HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!!!!

Against a Brick Wall

  

Let me just tell ya ladies, This junkin and fixin business is like a crazy obsession....My SUV takes on a mind of her own..and before I know it....well, you know the rest of this story!!  I was just tinkering around, (should have been cleaning) and re-done this brick wall in my sunroom with a old window and shutters. 


Just ignore the music wreath......Old news.....



I added deer antliers to each shutter....



And just sat a old pediment on the top of the window

I found this old typewriter stand at a new junk store here in my little town and loaded it up with my cement birds, old metal box, stamp holder,  etc........ 

I've been lazy with the blogging thing lately.....I'll try to do better!~!           Rhonda
