Been awhile....where does the time go!

Tried to do some outside decorating this weekend but the weather didn't really cooperate with me. I did get some things done.
Found this chair for "FREE" on the way home so I stopped and grabbed it and threw it in the van. My son was embarressed but not me!

Got this basket at the Thrift store last week for .50 Robyn sent me the cute Abe pillow (Thanks so much)

And look at these lovelies! Wish there was scratch and sniff on blogger. These awesome fruits came from Misi. They look so real and smell yummo!

Reframed the print and added the artichoke...from Misi also got the lil' bowl from Robyn...don't they look so great together?

Put these portraits up in the bedroom where I had the bowl rack. This looks so much more simpler.

Saved the best for last. This was my surprise Mother's day gift! And boy was I surprised! This belonged to a friend of mine who passed away from cancer 2 years ago. RIP Ruth. I always loved it and never expected to get it. Art and the kids each carried a piece of the flax wheel into the house after church. Needless to say I bawled! It is now proudly on display in our bedroom until I can find room for it downstairs. Wow!! I was speechless and anyone who knows me that doesn't happen often!

Hope everyone has a wonderful week. I only have 7 more days of preschool and another year is over. Where does the time go?
Hugs and blessings
