~ Beautiful WV Homes ~

Out of all the homes that we saw, this one truly captured me ... the beautiful quilt painted on the side & the sweet wreath of flowers on the door.

This field is around the corner from our home ...

I love driving by it every single day & enjoy the beauty of the horses grazing in the field of buttercups ...

Enjoy the beauty of each home we saw ... the bones of the structures, the beauty of the land, the stories & memories of yore that each home echos thru time ... just splendid, peaceful scenes.

Sadly this lady sits beautifully in the vast yard ...

Left to ruins ...

I can picture the hot summer afternoons with cooling lemonade & fans breezing them as they sit chatting away the day ...

Pink, of course!

She is so immaculately groomed, I could stand there fr a very long time basking in her warmth ...

Proudly she hails on the porch, beautifully swinging in the breeze ...

Colorful, to say the least ...

And, then there is this, always one to find in them thar hills ... chuckle.

~ Meandering Thru WV ~

We so love just getting in the car for a wee getaway ... behind us is a gorgeous river. WV is so full of beautiful water scenes ...

Harold so wanted to visit this train museum but it is closd until Memorial weekend ...

Another day ...

Pointing to where we are ...

The lure of the swishing streams are so peaceful ...

The rolling hills so beautifully sculpted by God ...

Champe rocks ...

/seneca rocks ...

So love this piece of art ...

Of course, we had to visit the largest satellite stuff. Engineers like to see , it is is interesting, but not my cup of tea ...

Hubby was having a good time here.

~ A Little Change Here & There ~ Love Is...

I saw a floor screen covered in feedsack ruffles ... fell in LOVE with the idea. So I contacted

Rhoada's Ruffles (http://www.etsy.com/shop/RhoadasRuffles) to see if she would use my vintage feedsack fabrics to make curtains for the laundry room makeover. We are adding beadboard throughout the room.

This is the door curtain that she created.

This is the window curtain, not yet hung.

Love the random fabric mix she created .

IF you want fabulous ruffle creations, Roada's Ruffles if the place to go ... she is marvelous.

We originally had an artist paint hummingbirds coming down from the border. It was time for a change. The yellow was the ceiling color, now the ceiling is amethyst lavendar.

The same gal painted the roses border in the kitchen on the bulk head. It is now gone & will be a soft green when

The before ...

The after primer ... loving the change.

So anxious to show you the finished rooms.

Our little Miss M helping clean ... oh, how she loves to scrub EVERYTHING! Sparkling clean teeth ...

(actually not an open tube). The first thing she says to us when she bounces out of bed in the morning is 'eeth, eeth' & off we are to the toothbrush.
