A Small Family Wedding

Yesterday my niece got married. We had a beautiful, fun , day in the sun, filled with laughter and smiles. We made memories that will last forever.

Could not have asked for a more perfect day . . .

"Me," always the worker bee . . . but hey, someone has to be in charge!

My two babies, Lacey and Leah.

The bride . . . her sweetheart had someone bring her these sweet posies while she was dressing. Hannah, you were beautiful ! Definitely , NOT "Pet Quality!"

Great " Before's and After's"

http://tickingandtoile.blogspot.com/ I thought I had better post before blogger removed me . . . I did not ask permission to show these pictures, I thought it would be a nice surprise! I just love this makeover, the before was pretty , but this is beautiful.

The "Before", told you it was pretty . . .

Next is Cindy's fabulous kitchen ! http://cstower.blogspot.com/ the girl got it right. I was so jealous of this makeover, but we are still friends.

The " Before". Great jobs gals. I would love to show "Debbie's " laundry room . . . send me a before picture !

Spring in My Garden

For those of you that have not heard, my computer somehow lost all my blogging pictures ! I just don't have the heart to start over . . . so I am going to sign off for awhile. I want to thank all my faithful followers, I have enjoying getting to know you so much. Blogging was something that I never thought I would ever do, but to my surprise , I found that I liked it very much.

I am in the process of doing some updating in my house, the stone wall in the foyer, a few things in the master bedroom and the family room. I am sure I will want to share these projects when I am done, so I will be around from time to time. I will also want to show up dated photos of my little tater bug . . . so bear with me. I have started a new file, and when I get enough images to continue, I may post again from time to time.

Again, thanks everyone. Vicky

Meet Ms. Millie

This is Ms. Millie, she is my daughter Leah's dog. Millie is a 5 year old ,ten pound, Russian Tsvetnya Bolonka, she came from a S.C. Rescue. She is the best little thing, housebroke, crate trained, purse trained . . . I wanted to do this post to remind everyone that the dogs needing homes through rescue programs are great dogs . Leah got her on Sat. and she has been perfect. We found her on Pet Finders. These dogs are not free! But when you consider that all the puppy work has already been done, all medical has been taken care of, it is a great deal !

Seek Balance

Scale, balance and rhythm are a designers best friend. Without these basic guidelines a space just will not be pleasing. Do the rest of you think this settee is a bit small for it's surroundings, or is it just me?

Creating symmetry with similar yet different objects will make a more interesting decor. Notice the silver mirror balances the silver candle sticks on the other side. The two pieces on each side of the sink are very close to the same size ect.

Move the eye around the room with color. Here we go from the chair to the drape, to the pillows , the flowers and then back to the other chair .

Look around your own castle, is one of these elements off anywhere? Check again . . . What's calling your name?

Great Give-away
