Look what I have completed!

Welcome my precious blogger friends!  I want to show you a couple of projects that are complete.  Since it is 14 days until my Doug will be home I thought I would share a few of them.  First, I have always wanted a red door.  I got so many ideas from blogs I visited, I got the courage....said it was only paint and did it!  The WELCOME was bought on etsy.  It took me forever to decide on the shade of red but this one worked out great.

 Last year I saw the most beautiful wreath hanger. The owner of the wreath holder told me where she got it.   I loved it.  While I could not find one like hers it lead me on a journey finding beautiful wreath hangers.  I got this one on ebay.  I love visiting the QVC bulletin boards and the wonderful folks over there kept talking about the pine cone wreath.  Being a southern girl, with pine trees everywhere I thought these folks are nuts.  But they kept talking about them so I ordered one and am so glad I did!  It has battery operated lights that are on a timer. 

 This is one of my treasures.  Can you believe Doug bought me this swing on our first date?  We went to a craft show and I fell in love with it.  I weave seasonal items through the chain with battery operated lights woven through it also.  You can see Josh's tail and butt in this photo.  LOL.  She is a ham.  The birdcage on the storage box was on a table scape a few weeks ago.  It has a flame less candle and some sunflowers.

 You can't see it but the twigs in the milk can have lights on them.  I admit my picture taking leaves much to be desired but hopefully you get the jest of it.

Thank you so much for stopping in.  I am still recuperating and very slow.  I always treasure your comments.

My First Tablescape post

Here is the final look. I did change the napkins to a 100% cotton orange with a pumpkin napkin ring. The runner is a tapestry type material and is very subtle. The cutlery is Colin Cowell. The little wooden birds my precious husband bought me at an estate sale. I have canning jars on each place setting because I am serving soup in them. I thought it would be fun. Oh the dishes are from QVC. This is my first tablescape post. I take terrible pictures so please bear with me and I will try to get better. The little scarecrow on the swing is another find from my precious husband. The salt and pepper shaker are from Silvestri.

I would so love it if you would leave a comment on any thing about the blog that my precious friend Kathy from Life in the Slow Lane designed and set up for me. I just love it. When you check out her blog notice that beautiful child on that big 'ole pig! That is Kathy when she was young. I so love that image. Again thank you Kathy!
