WHAT'S YOUR STYLE?

                                              Take the DESIGN STYLE Quiz!!

Take the HOMEGOODS STYLESCOPE QUIZwww.homegoods.com/stylescope  and find out your unique Stylescope personality and get tips to bring it to life in your home!  It's FUN!


                                            My results are  "FARMHOUSE GLAM"   with a touch of BOHO

FARMHOUSE GLAM is the delicate, exquisite balance between beautiful femininity and rustic nonchalance.  She's all about the discovery of  the unexpected, sparkle amidst the less polished.  She wears high heels and a denim jacket, a string of pearls and bare feet(?).  And her home feels as special as it does comfortable.
FARMHOUSE GLAM is very approachable elegance, layering texture rather than color to create a look that is modern and rustic.  Chandeliers above picnic tables, ornate candlesticks along weathered pieces.  Mix and match upholstered chairs, metal or wire, stools or benches around your dining or kitchen tables.

I feel this does describe what I like except I do want a little touch of soft color around my house in some rooms.  I guess thats where some BOHO comes in.  I do like a little URBAN too. (like vintage industrial accents)
Go ahead and take the test~~~~~It's FUN!
(I have not been asked or paid to post this about "Homegoods".  This is open to all who join their blog)
Please let me know when you COMMENT back, what STYLE  you are!!!  This will be interesting and fun!

Have a WONDERFUL and BLESSED week, my friends~~~~~Roxie

POTTED VINTAGE WICKER BABY BASSINET

This is a picture of my PINK VINTAGE WICKER BABY BASSINET potted with fern and a mix of flowers.
I have been setting up vignettes all week for a tea at my church and used my VINTAGE BABY BASSINET for one of the displays.
When I found this at a thrift store some months ago, I couldn't believe the excellent shape this was in.  It is much prettier in person, for the bassinet is QUITE LARGE, has a bonnet frame on it, and a sweet handle to move it around with ease.  ORIGINAL COLOR is outstanding!
It sits in my office/craft room and I store layers of VINTAGE fabrics in it.  It has become a SWEET FAVORITE FIND of mine with multi uses!  I LOVE it!  And the best thing is...........I paid a whopping $20 for it!  It's a KEEPER!



This is what it looks like by itself.  Not that I'm into vintage baby things, but this was too beautiful!  The best part, it has been so useful in many ways!  Do you have a find that has turned out to be a favorite or useful in ways you didn't expect?  I'd LOVE to hear about it!
Have a wonderful and BLESSED week!   From one sweetie to another~~~Roxie

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM and HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!

Today is May 11, 2013.  This is a "special day" for my family.  It is my Mothers Birthday!!  She wouldn't want me to say this but she is 80 years young today.  Yes, she is 80! (and she has never had a touch up of anything!!) This picture is less than 3 yrs old and it deplicts her very well.  She enjoys life and loves to have good, clean fun!  She is from a family of 11 children.....1 of 8 girls.  It's always a HOOT when she gets together with her sisters!



My Mother and I are headed to a Ladies Tea (2 yrs ago) at my church.  We had a wonderful time!  This is a very memorable time for me with my Mom.

                                    Happy Birthday Mom and Happy Mothers Day too!
                                                                  We LOVE you!

And for those who do not have their precious Mothers today, I wish you wonderful and cherished memories~~~God Bless~~~~~~Roxie
