RAINY DAZE!!!

Oh, how I love a rainy day!!It is so nice to have my candles lit and the house all warm and cozy!!I love to putter around the house and do random things. Like, rearranging things, cleaning, or even spending the day resting and watching HGTV!!I love to do that!!
.So, today I felt so bad I decided to try and be careful in what I chose to do with my day. Having SLE, Fibromyalgia and 2 ruptured disk make it hard for me some days to maneuver around.  I decided to go against the odds and head out to grab a quick lunch and visit my favorite boutique. I found a darling old very primitive stool. It has brown, green and blue paint under layers of peeling. I actually like the very distressed look. So, I decided it needed a home.

MY $3.99 ONION JAR FROM GOODWILL
Upon, leaving there i headed to Hobby Lobby for some dried flowers to put in my huge green onion jar I found at Goodwill yesterday!!That was a treasure for sure at $3.99!!

It is now evening and the rain continues to fall as I write. Ready to go to bed anyway and read a little before I turn in. I hope you will be blessed with good health and many Blessings!!

From my house to yours,

PRIM FRIENDS!!!

I have just had the most awesome day today!!A dear friend, Bridgett, had several of us girls over for lunch. We all gathered together and shared Prim stories and toured her beautiful home! That in itself is a treat.

She is a Colonial and primitive decorator and has been featured in many books. Her home is so cozy and so many beautiful pieces that we literally sat for hours just looking!!
.
After a delicious lunch of Chicken Salad croissants, chip, and cookies our bellies full, we headed over to Betty's beautiful home. Betty is Bridgett's Mom. She is my kindred soul sister I believe/ We have so much in common. I just love these women so much!!!Her home is beautifully decorated and these ladies are so talented!!It had began to rain when we left but that didn't damper our spirits!!


Betty's beautiful home!!
After my fun day with Prim friends, I  came home and put my gown on and been resting and relishing the day!! There is nothing so special as a day with good friends, good food and tons of laughter!!May you be blessed with good friends and many Primitive Blessings!!
