Pictures of the new nest...

Taking a little break from unpacking, Thanksgiving and  getting everything hooked up in the new nest.... just wanted to share some pictures of the some of the little touches to the Shabby home..... I miss you, I really mean it! hugs-Lilia  

moved........

Well, I am officially a California resident...... I am ...         happy, exhausted, busy, overwhelmed, content.... did I leave anything out? We packed up last Wednesday and drove out that night. These are things I  love......... the shabby yellow kitchen, 3 1/2 miles from the beach, my family and best friends all around me, the cool weather, the cute neighborhood, the Cuban restaurant down the street, SAS only 1 mile away from me.........ahhhh I am home. Missed all of you!

Single parentville.....

Living as a single parent for the time being until we move. Did I ever tell you how much I appreciate my husband? Ok, I may give him a hard time for watching Sunday football all day on Sunday..... or nag him about taking out the trash........ or nag him about so many other things. When they are gone...... you sure do need them for so many things and realize how much they are needed to complete your little family unit! He is the sweetest guy, always positive, even when things are down. I miss my coffee maker this morning. Reality... I make a bad cup of coffee, and I really don't want to head over to Starbucks in my PJ's! Well, there you have it.... single parents out there, hats off to you! What else? Had to share a couple of pages in a Art book I made a while back.......  

Went roller skating on Monday.... it was free roller skating night. Do you remember doing this in the 70's? Skating to Donna Summer..... Well, had a babysitter and went with a Teacher from our school. Made a apple pie from scratch, it was delicious! Made me start thinking of this section in Cosmo... you know the one that gives you suggestions on what to do that month? I think its called "why don't you......" Well I am no Cosmo.... but I thought it would be fun to give a little list on suggestions  here they are:

This month why don't you..........

* Bake a apple pie from scratch

* Go Roller Skating or Salsa dancing

* fill all your vases with fresh Fall Flowers

* Go to the hometown football game

* Teach your child how to wash the dishes (I bought 2 tubs, sponges (cut them in half), let her pick a scrubber, and her own dish soap) Montessori style you might say!

If you have any for me.... I would love to hear them!

here are a couple of Flea Market finds this week:   vintage crepe napkins and a baby blanket quilt.

also a little update on Flea Market Studio Shop. That's about all folks! Have a beautiful Fall Day!!!
