Argentinian Passion

Husband was planning a big soccer celebration:

Argentina 2010 Soccer World Champions!

The German Team changed his plans.
Husband still is in "Soccer Suicidal Watch"

I hope he can snap out of it by tonight...

so we can celebrate Argentina's Independence Day.

On July 4th, our homes are dressed in Red, White and Blue.

On July 9th, they wear their best White and Light Blue, the Argentinian colors.

I'm hoping for some good empanadas tonight for a true
Argentinian Celebration!


Yumm!!!

I need help....

professional help!

The other day, Suzan from Old Grey Mare told me I should consider calling
"Ruffles Anonymous"....

Yikes!!
I think she is right!!

"My name is Marcela and I'm Addicted to Ruffles..."

Well Ladies... I guess it could be worse!!

White Wednesday

"From France with Amour"

Don't you miss getting letters in the mail?

Hand written letters.
Beautiful, curvy writing, just waiting to be read....

French Writing.

That was my inspiration to make this little metal table top...

into something a little more special...

Tres chic...or not tres chic????

Oui, oui!! Tres chic!!!

Lots of wonderful whites at Faded Charm...
don't miss them!!!

Happy 4th!

Splashes of Red, White and Blue have made their way into my home.

My loved 48-star flag is waving proudly...

It must be the 4th...

Have a happy and safe Independence Day!

Mirror, mirror...

without a wall...

Which one is the coolest
centerpiece of all?

MINE!

Came home from Country Roads with an old,
beat up to perfection,
chippy mirror...

The idea was to use it to try a new technique,
but I felt in love with it
and since my house has very few walls and they already have enough stuff,
I had to find another place for my new friend...

So here it is, adding a little light to my farm table...

This is the first goodie I bought in over 1 year and that I will actually keep...
how's that for self control??
