I got mail!
The good mail too,
mail in the form of a big honkin' flat rate box from Canada.
Don't you just love flat rate boxes? They're a bloggers best friend, you can fit a lot of goodies into one of those babies. I love sending them, but I really love getting them!.
Debby from The Gathering Nest & I share
a love for old tattered things.
We have kind of a mutual oohing & ahhing society.
Well, last week I got one of those over stuffed flat rate's filled with bits & pieces from Debby's stash.

Well, last week I got one of those over stuffed flat rate's filled with bits & pieces from Debby's stash.
Wrapped up in some great scrim were scads of images from
Paper Whimsy, all cut up & ready to use. 
Sew cute!!! I will use this to hold some of my favorite fabric scraps.
I love all kinds of textiles.

And oh the lace.......whether it's a tattered table cloth, runner, old tea towel or just a piece saved from an old dress. I just LOVE the stuff. I know you do too,
that's why it's getting harder to find these days.

Check out this old woman's magazine.
It's in perfect condition so I won't be cutting it up.
I'll just use it for inspiration.

I told you it was stuffed. Fabric, hankies, runners, books,
a little rust.
Debby, you did good girl!
I love every single thing & can't wait to start creating with it all.
This little tease is for my friend Linda, who asks me all the time about my bedroom make-over.
The make-over I started & blogged about a year ago.
Well life & other things just kept getting in the way.
The rest of our house is pretty good, but when you live in a small house with 3 little kids your bedroom ends up looking like something from Hoarders.
So I've been working (for the last year) on the bedroom, master bath & the patio outside our room.
3 spaces in all.
I bought very little, mostly paint & supplies. Being a hoarder collector I knew I could make it work just using what I have.
(before)
Wait till you see how this turned out, & where it ended up!
(during)
Because I am very indecisive the walls looked like this for 2 months!
(before)
Even our cool 80's bathroom got a face lift.
So here's a sneak peek.
Remember this is a room rooms in progress!
Just beginning to fluff.
French doors in our bedroom lead onto a deck in our backyard.
I used the back corner to create a magical little sitting room.
So stay tuned for my reveal coming soon to a computer near you!
In the meantime, happy Monday!

Love that box of goodies, especially the lace. Can't wait to see the rest of the bathroom, bedroom and patio. The "tease" shot looks fantastic. Looks like a no kids zone to me! lol I've got a big giveaway on my blog. Enter if you get a spare moment.
Oooh, I can't wait to see the reveal. The tan wall color is so much like what I have in my home. I don't know if you ended up using it, but ours is 5 years and we still love it!
What a taunting tease! But hey, I am one to talk, I have been working on the studio for six months and finally just showed one little section on my blog. Take your time, fluff and play. Can't wait to see the finished results! Happy Monday!
Wow, what a post....what a friend!!!! Can I share? So generous. Love all the goodies.
You did a fabulous job on the bathroom! Lovely!
Good morning!
I am glad you are all feeling much, much better! Hope you had a fabulous Thanksgiving!
I love it when people post a tease about a room redo. Yours looks AWESOME! I can't wait to see what else you did!
I wish my husband would go for the chippy white thing. Just not going to happen while we are in this house.
Post it soon! (yeah right - just like Jodie was going to post her studio re-do almost what - 6 months ago?)
But I can nag, right?
Have a great week! Hugs! Karen
Great package filled with goodies! I can't wait to see more of your project! I got some of my own I need to be working on! Just can't get in the mood!

Great loot box, lucky girl, you. The difference between us and the hoarders is that of course everyone can see the value in our 'good' junk! Ha!
Can't wait to see the total reveal,
Susanne.
Woot, Woot Girl!!! You sooooo lucked out with your amazing package filled with wonderfulness!!
I love it all, but I covet the sweet images & of course....THE LACE!!!
Hugs Fiend,
Susie
What a fabulous package!!! And I can't wait to see what the rooms look like finished.
On a personal note, I want you to know that you support you, your art, and your style completely. I would LOVE to take your altered bottle class, so please don't let one crabby person stop you. You are woman and you ROAR!
Hugs and kisses,
Erica
What a great box of stuff! I have just found your blog through Rusty Rooster Vintage (on her sidebar) and am so happy I did! I meant to just stop by, but I've spent so much time here this morning I've decided to become your newest follower. That Thanksgiving photo cracks me up!
A real box of treasures...you did really GOOOOOD. Have fun, I know that you will. Hugs, Mary
Oh, lucky you! Debby really sent you a bountiful box!
Hugs,
Terri
Now you have my attention Lisa! I love seeing into other's bedrooms. I like to see what comfort means to other's. My room used to be the dumping room (along with two other rooms in my house, hehe) but last year I decided I just might sleep better without all the clutter. I sure do!!!
I think I love that tall cupboard that is standing in your driveway. If that is standing out in your driveway tonight when I drive by...it's mine!!!!
thank you for the well wishes! I love it when you come by.
Hey can you leave the outside light on for me????
big hug
HI Lisa... Thank you so much for coming to visit me and your heartfelt comments. I'm so glad to have a new friend and learn all about you and your family. xoso Sandy
Wow! Wow! Wow! On everything! You lucked out with those fabulous gifts from your friend....and the bathroom makeover....makes you want to fuss with your hair and makeup, doesn't it! It looks totally dreamy!
Hugs, Lisa!
Diane
Hi Lisa, I am loving your room in progress, awesome. Glad your goodies arrived and hope you can create something beautiful with them.
Hugs,
Debby
