Shabby Chic items for sale and breakdown!

I have decided it is time to let some of my shabby chic items go to a new home as I have
way too many pretties for one household.

This is a gorgeous blue rose tablecloth that measures approx. 58 inches x 96 inches
{including ruffle} I don't have the original packaging, but it is new. I think I put it
over a table once just to take some photos, but it has not been used for an actual
sit down dinner , so as such, it is in new condition. I think this pattern is called
British Rose, but I am not sure.

This past week I went to my sisters house in PA for a visit. Hubby doesn't like me traveling
 alone so he met my sister and brother-in-law halfway and then he went back home.

We had the BEST time ever!

That is what sisters do right?? YES! SO much fun, shopping, eating and all that goes along
with it, but we wore ourselves out. :) I went out on Tuesday evening and hubby then drove
out on Saturday to pick me up and we headed back home yesterday afternoon.

Hubs and I were chatting and getting comfortable for the four hour plus trip. He told me
that the car just purred along on the way out to get me and I swear it was no sooner than
2 minutes later , the car started revving up and would not drive...right in the middle of a
busy highway!! Thankfully we got it over to the shoulder and it would do NOTHING!
 None of the gears worked {I think that is how you explain it} ...called my sister
 and her hubby and they came back and got us and took us to their house while
 a wrecker pulled our car back and parked it in their driveway.  Brother-in-law is a pastor so
he got someone else to preach for him that evening and him and my sister took us half
way home and met our son to get us the rest of the way home.  LONG story short.
It has been towed to a mechanic in PA and we will get an estimate tomorrow. We are
 pretty sure it is the transmission so this will not be fun!

I am thinking if I could get maybe two thousand people or so to each send me
one dollar it just might cover the repairs. hee hee A girl can dream right?? :)

 Life throws us curve balls when we least expect it  doesn't it?  Sandi doesn't like curve balls.
Sandi wants her life to just sail along and not have any of her sails ruffled at all, but I guess
God sometimes has different plans. Praying this will all work out...would you say a prayer
 for us too please? 

Sunday Afternoon Drive ~

Loving the weather so much today here in

Michigan

that we took a Sunday afternoon drive.

I wanted to look for bittersweet,

but also just enjoy the weather ~

{My hubby was even sweet enough to give up

part of the Lions game on tv to join me}

You will see a lot of dirt roads in this part of Michigan~ Spring Hollow Farm is just around the corner from us... a very lovely place, but I feel so sorry for the woman who lives there with her husband. You see she was my husband's school teacher when he was very young and he can tell stories that make your hair stand on end. I am so glad he grew up and matured somewhat. {lol} Another lovely barn on Spring Hollow Farm ~

Lots of red barns in Michigan...

...tucked back among the trees ~

This fence is interesting. There are finials on the tops of

each post and every other one is black ~

I found this kind man along the road and he hopped in my car

and told me he would cut bittersweet for me if we found any.

{hee hee}

Truthfully it is my hubby...he will do just about anything

for me.

I adore porches...

open porches, closed in porches, screened porches

just

Porches~

A lovely fence along our drive ~

Isn't this just as pretty as a picture? So beautiful with the old barn and flowers~

Loving the chippy white here~

I feel sad when I see so many barns just falling apart,

but as a homeowner I also know

what it takes to keep these buildings up and

I understand why so many of them fall to ruins~

Look closely and you will see several turtles on the wood

sticking out of the water. We find turtles on our road

periodically so they probably come from here.

I also had a couple pictures of cranes that landed

on this pond, but they ended up blurry.

I hope you enjoyed your tour of my county today~

Blessings~
