<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Even though it is freezing outside right at this moment....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have great confidence that Spring is on its way.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> We have jumped into Daylight Savings.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> So that means Spring WILL get here☺</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In the mean time I am dragging out more of our Spring doodads.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Our dining room table has been freshened up with a new vignette.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I started with a black and cream table runner that I made last year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then on top of the runner goes a really old mirror that we found eons ago at a flea market.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then I placed a cream colored pitcher {TJMax} filled with faux flowers, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">real ones will come later.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Next,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I placed a sweet bluebird/cabbage teapot {flea market} that just epitomizes Spring</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and makes me smile when I look at it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Next,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I placed a plate stand with a cream plate </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and a pretty light green plate in front.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Don't forget to throw in a touch of whimsy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You don't want your creation to look like anybody else just came in and decorated your house. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you like something....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> use it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If it makes you smile....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">use it☺</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That's where these cute little knick-knacks come in.....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Spring is truly around the corner! It is 60 degrees here in Northern Virginia!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Time to spiff-up the Sunroom. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We don't use this room in the winter, so it needed some cleaning and brightening.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Well at least 11 months ago. Life got busier and the blog took a back seat.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Lot of stuff has happened since I was here last. I will try to play catch up with you as time goes by.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Fall is just around the corner. I have been itching to show you what I've done in our little cottage .</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I used my trusty <a href="http://eleganteconomies.blogspot.com/2012/02/red-toolbox-vignette.html" target="_blank">red toolbox</a> on the table to hold a new red mirror from Hobby Lobby and a Homer Laughlin platter. The table runner is made from clearance fabric I bought online from <a href="http://www.fabric.com/clearance-fabric.aspx?Source=LeftNav">Fabric.com.</a></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Starting back in the 1800's......</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><span style="font-size: large;">farmers</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">bought their flour, salt, sugar and </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">grains in cotton sacks.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> This was much easier to carry from the mercantile than barrels.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> The thrifty wives could then reuse them to sew clothing and household items.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I make a point to look </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">for aprons made from feed</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">sacks.....like the red apron below.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I think it was made in the 40's or 50's.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love the scalloped edges....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> and the curvy pocket.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The red and yellow is so cheerful, too!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Often I will use these finds as patterns to make aprons for everyday use.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I lay the feed sack apron on craft paper and outline each piece.Then write notes to myself of how to sew it together.</span></div>

I don't often show what I do in my "real" life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But, here it is. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My sweetheart and I minister to one of the most awesome congregations </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
on the entire planet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wave my hands....a lot....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
nope, i was not leading the choir.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
just speaking.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yBtDBvu_msI/UE4NuQFIQ7I/AAAAAAAADSs/QW6r8w1RYuI/s1600/me+waving+my+hands.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="296" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yBtDBvu_msI/UE4NuQFIQ7I/AAAAAAAADSs/QW6r8w1RYuI/s400/me+waving+my+hands.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is my wonderfully sweet husband, David.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is the lead pastor. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Our daughter, Becky.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and her daughter, Lexie sing on our worship team.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This past weekend was a busy one.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A brunch on Saturday and our</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
usual service on Sunday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So...there you have just a tiny snippet of my "real" life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All of us have so many different facets to our lives that it is very</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
difficult to really show who we really are.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To me that is the very thing that makes life more interesting!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't you think?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope your week is awesomely blessed!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> but was really afraid....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What do I offer as a give away?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">My rule </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">for collecting plates</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and dishes is</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">" it <b>can't</b> cost more than a Happy Meal."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For the most part I stick to this rule because</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1.it keeps me within my budget </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2. it makes collecting a challenge...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> and more fun!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This Spode plate was a bit more.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">$12</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It was gift from my sweetheart.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> At twelve dollars it was a deal,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span>but more than a Happy Meal<span style="font-size: large;">,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">so I was going to pass it by.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">my Sweetheart enjoys collecting, too.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Commemorative plates are really inexpensive.....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> and easy to find.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> They are often made to celebrate a person or a building.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Sometimes they are made to celebrate an occasion. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I paid $1.50 for this plate commemorating a church.</span> </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The black transferware mixes beautifully</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> with my green bottles,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> cream lace, black framed pictures.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">None of the dishes match one another,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> but who cares?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I think they mix quite well.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Most of my collection is a bit chippy</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> from hanging on the wall....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't let that keep me from buying a dish,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">but don't use them as serving pieces.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have been pulling out my heavy metal </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">decorative stuff</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> because Fall is going to be here before we know it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Darker colors and metal objects just seem to cozy things a bit more when the weather has a chill in it.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I realize that with this post I am exposing a secret! </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know that<u> every</u> person in blog land has <u>already</u> experimented with this</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and posted MANY pictures and experiences.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it is what it is.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I admit it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had never tried making my own mercury glass with</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Krylon's Looking Glass</i> paint and vinegar!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With Fall just around the corner I figured it was time!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After all, I bought the stuff from Wally World a looong time ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had better use it before it was too cold outside to spray paint. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I think they came out pretty good!</span></div>

I did it and I am glad I did!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Update</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
Marty asked how I did it....<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"> 1. First wash your jars</span></b>...use Goo Gone if the labels are persnickety.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> 2. Spray vinegar</b> </span>on the inside of your jar or bottle and whilst it is still wet<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> 3. Spray the Looking Glass</b></span> paint over the vinegar....use a napkin to distress, if you like</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">You can make you own desktop accessories</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span>out of items you might throw away.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Most of you are like me....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you hate to throw away coffee cans, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
bottles and jars.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Why fill our landfills with things that can be recycled?</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I spray painted two coffee cans with a light pink....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
inside and out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A Snapple bottle lid, a Smucker's jar and lid was sprayed a deep pink.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The lace on the Snapple bottles was white before I wrapped it around the salsa jar and sprayed it deep pink, too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be patient for at least a day and let all the stuff you sprayed dry really well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next take the lace off the jar and wrap it around the bottle and step back!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now isn't that so pretty?</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wrap the coffee cans in coordinating fabrics or paper if you like.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I played with the wording on mine. I wrote the words, then sewed them on my machine to look like scribbled doodles. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Ann <a href="http://cottageatthecrossroads.com/" target="_blank">On Sutton Place</a></span> are Launching a new linky party this Monday....<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Gold Medal Blogging Tips</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span><br />
<i>I haven't been blogging a very long time, but I will share some of the tips that have helped me. Hope you can look at all the party participants and glean some helpful hints. Here goes:</i><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b><br />
<b><u>1.</u></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Your Pictures are the Eye-Candy for Your Blog</u></b></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br />
<i>They should grab attention and then tell your story.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I don't have the funds at the moment for an expensive camera,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
but I read and check all kinds of places about how to take pretty pictures....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
then I edit and re-size in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-65136385-Photoshop-Elements-10/dp/B005MMMT6E" target="_blank">Adobe Photoshop Elements</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Elements is the cheaper, dumbed-down version of Photoshop.....I LOVE it! But, don't despair, you don't have to learn how to use a software program.There are many photo-edit websites that are free that you can use...experiment until you find one that you like.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Below is one of my pictures used in a template that I downloaded, opened in PSE and used the color picker to make a colorbar. Loads of fun! You can get this template free from <a href="http://www.thecoffeeshopblog.com/2011/03/coffeeshop-colorbar-color-palette.html" target="_blank">The CoffeeShop Blog </a></div>

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">You can meet new people and attract viewers to your blog. This is how it works-</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"> A blog will host a link party, usually on a particular topic. You are invited to add your relevant post link to the list for others to see. Click on the title of your post and copy the web address for the actual post...not your whole blog. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">Visit and comment....make new friends. Look at my linky party list below. I never link to all of them each week. I only link to the ones that my particular post is relevant to. The ones I can take the time to peruse and meet other wonderful bloggy friends.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"> Some weeks I don't have time to link to ANY! I know BAD Audrey!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">So.... </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">most of you have a lot more expertise and knowledge to share than I do....</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">won't you join us at Jane's <a href="http://cottageatthecrossroads.com/" target="_blank">Cottage at the Crossroads</a> and Anne <a href="http://cottageatthecrossroads.com/" target="_blank">On Sutton Place </a>to party? </span><br />

I found one of the hymns at Angie's<a href="http://knickoftimeinteriors.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> Knick of Time</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She has a lovely blog,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
loads of redos on all kinds of stuff....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the things she can do with metal and old doodads!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
AMAZING!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On Wednesdays she has a lot of antique graphics that you can download and print. Go look, but come back...wait, wait...finish here first because you will want to look at ALL of Angie's stuff!</div>

My cloche was featured earlier in the week <a href="http://eleganteconomies.blogspot.com/2012/07/teacups-and-lace-cloche.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My alabaster scale was just too visually airy....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
didn't balance with the cloche,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I replaced it with a trifle bowl turned upside down over a seashell...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
much better.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You have heard the expression<br />
"everything, but the kitchen sink!"<br />
Well....<br />
We have everything AND the sink in our bath!<br />
A bathroom sink set on top of a vintage dresser that we found for 50 dollars.<br />
<br />
Both the dresser<br />
and the faux marble sink fit perfectly in our little bathroom niche.<br />
The plumbing is in the cut-away sections of the drawers. <br />
David simply boxed in the parts of the drawers that were affected by the plumbing and gave us much needed storage.</div>
