It's Official!

Dalton Jeremiah Steadman has graduated from high school!

Nanny and Papa with the last grandchild to graduate.

And this is what Mr. Goofball thinks about it all!

Sorry to be neglecting my blog lately. But as you can see, I have good reasons. So busy planning a wedding shower that I have had no time for blogging. I hope to get started again soon!

Hope all is well with all y'all!

Magazine Anyone?

 Yesterday the roofing company came and fixed a leak(hopefully!) and repaired my living room ceiling. When putting the room back together I decided to throw in my chippy door that I picked up at an estate sale. I am trying to decide what to put on the top but I thought it would be nice to make it into a magazine rack. I like to sit on this end of the couch to enjoy magazine inspirations! I have been saving this book holder and decided to put it to use. 

Now, if I can just get to the point of getting to sit there and relax! (Maybe after I replace those ugly pillows with some made from vintage material!) There I go dreamin' again! ;)

Happy Day to you Friends!

Casey's A College Graduate!

Mississippi State University Graduate!

Just seems like yesterday when that August day came and we crossed the state line and your arms flew up in the air in celebration and we crossed that state line several hours later with tears flowing.

Proud of you and your accomplishment! Mama loves you!

Welcome Weekend!

Hey Weekend! After one wild week, You are Most Definitely Welcome at Happy Acres!

Sorry for the Sunshiney pictures but I got one more Krazy Kinda Day. No time to wait for the sun to get outta my way!

Got to get moving to my oldest daughters college graduation. Oh Happy Day!!!!

Happy Wonderful Weekend to Y'all!

I'm Still Here

Sorry for the lack of new posts. Still busy and stressed as ever. Hoping next week will be a little less hectic and a lot more peaceful.

Zeke and I took a stroll around our yard tonight. I sure need to do some cleaning, weeding, and tweaking out there but I took a few pics anyway.

As you can see my chicken nester and wash tub flowers are coming along nicely! 

Hope you are having a great week! Blessings from Alabama!

Lamp Love!

Whilst out shopping for things for this wedding that I am doing the decorating for in August...now let's just think about that for a minute! Someone, as in my best friend Angie, has lost her mind! Bless her heart! Well, in August  I may need a new best friend after the wedding! I may be run out of town on a rail! Oh, the stress! The Agony!...Back to shopping...

After seeing this lamp on many occasions, I saw something that I had missed before. In the reflection in the mirror behind it, was a tag!

The original price tag! Oh My Word! How sweet is that?

For that price, I wouldn't mind having to "Buy Bulb Extra"! Would you?

Happy 1st Day of May!!

Whew...

Sorry that I have been missing for a while! Life has just gotten in the way of blogging! This time of year is always so busy!

One day while shopping at Candlelight Antiques I saw this weird thing that I spent the rest of my time shopping trying to decide what could be done with it! First of all, what is it? A step for something???

Joy, the owner, told me how she had hung it in the window, so I decided to do the same.

I still need to clean it up and work on the wood a little. But I have enjoyed it hanging in my kitchen window!

I think it will be fun to decorate with seasonal items throughout the year.

I hope to get around to everyone's blogs tonight for some new inspirations!!! Been missing all y'all!

Happy Monday!

Chippy Green Happiness

Waiting for the sun to slip below the horizon...

...just so I could get a few pics of  "Chippy Green Happiness"!

What could it be? It is wearing my all time favorite vintage shade of green!

My new/old farm table that I found over the weekend.

Dear John keeps making fun of me gushing all about how "Happy" it makes me to look through my windows and see my favorite shade of green with all its chippiness! 

Can't wait to spend some mornings out there with my beloved one!

Oh yeah, and I even may let Dear John join us! ;)

Linking up with Rednesday  and Knick of Time Tuesday!

Ahhhh...

Flowers are planted. Now, that is more like it! ;)

Feels good to have all that finished. Did ya notice my new tooltray window boxes? We still have one bed to finish that we decided was time for a redo. And I am working on some "Window boxes" for the house. And then it will be complete! ;)

Now, off to visit y'all and see what you've been doing!

"Dog Days"

Here in the big ol' metropolitan area of Ardmore, we have a flea market every weekend called "Dog Days".

Of course, it started out as a trade day for animals and such and you can still pick up a goat, chicken, or even a dog if that is your fancy! I made a quick trip there yesterday and picked up the few items below.

Oh wait...I forgot that I threw in my Kitchen Klenzer. I bought that a week ago at an Antique Store. And the smiling spoon and knife were a gift from Angelia "My Bestie"! But I did get the large red tray and matching hanging whatchamacallit at Dog Days. 

Who doesn't need some cleanser that  "Hurts only Dirt"!

I framed this little grain sack. It has some stains but I love the yellow house and the chicks!

Oh no!...The baby chicks have locked mother hen in a crate and are running around causing all sorts of  "Chaos"!

Oh well, back to reality. Dishes to clean, laundry to wash, and groceries to buy.

A Marvelous Monday to One and All!

Happy Weekend!

I bought this handheld fan this winter partly because I love pictures of children and partly because it was from Scottsville, Kentucky. The former home of one of my favorite Aunties! (Her new home is in Glory!)  It has spent way too much time tucked away since no where that I put it would work out. ;(

I finally found him a home in my back door arrangement!

Now, I get to enjoy it everyday!

Happy Weekend Y'all!  

And Blessings from Alabama!
