Remodelaholic's Feature and a Sunrise Equals Double Fabulous!

Hello friends..so happy you are here. I am so honored to have been asked to guest blog at Remodelaholic's, the wonderful DIY blog run by Cassidy and Justin. I will try to answer many of the questions readers have asked about my Kitchen restyle. 





So please be a good sport and pop on over to Remodelaholic's to say hello and of course, comments are always welcomed.
Hope to see you there! (opens at 7am EST)
Ok...I promised a fabulous sunrise
Enjoy

These early morning clouds look like they are crying or they are falling to the earth.
And to my left is blue sky and little puffy clouds.
Such an early morning hodge podge of loveliness.
Until next time...be kind and stay creative.
Oooops..... I something else to show you.
I was browsing around the blogosphere the other day and spotted a silver pitcher filled with beautiful green hydrangeas. She must have been a southern blogger, because it is way too cool here in Virginia for hydrangeas. Rhoda...was it you???
Yesterday was 25% off day at my Salvation Macy's, so I headed on a silver hunt.
Not too shabby. This vase is large, about 12 inches high and in perfect condition.
Oh...and she was only $13.00!!!!
My hydrangeas won't be blooming for a while, so lilacs will do very nicely for now. You should smell my sitting room...lovely.
I tried to do some research on these hallmarks, but had no luck. I did find out what Quadruple Plate means and it's a good mark to have on your silver. Anyone out there know something about silver hallmarks??
One more fabulous thrift shop find....
Look at this sweet face!
I fell head over heels in love with this oil painting. It is quite large and I thought it was a print, but when I got up close I realized it was a reproduction of a 1794 Thomas Lawrence painting I had seen before. I think it is called 'Pinkie' 
Kat from California has given me a link all about my painting..thank you Kat!
Sigh.....Heaven..and only $27.00!!
SOLD!!!
I can't stop looking at her face and that gorgeous pink bonnet.
Ok...I think I'm done
