Now Where Did They Go! What is this?

Good morning everyone. I hope your day got off to a better start than mine. I got up this morning and wanted to make myself some toast for breakfast. Well gee, now where did my toaster go? Hmmmm..... Next I needed to feed Bella my 4 legged furry baby girl but I had to open the dog food can first. The can opener seems to be missing as well! Maybe it is ran off with my toaster. Oh here they are. They were hiding behind the most wonderful covers I just purchased from Teresa's ETSY shop. http://www.etsy.com/shop/TeresasPrimTreasures. I am so in love with these pieces. I wish I had taken better pictures to show you but from past posts, I think you all know my photography skills are anything but good. I still think you can see the beauty in each piece. The prices were fantastic and shipping was actually very cheap. These pieces are what I have been so desperately wanting for a very long time. I need to tweak my decorating accessories but I wanted to get the pictures posted now.

Toaster Cover..... Finished in a wonderful mustard color and distressed to perfection.


Can Opener Cover..... Barn Red is the color I believe and it has a fabulous aged finish.
I totally understand why everyone loves appliance covers. I think I may have to check into ordering other covers to put over many other things in my kitchen I would like to disguise!

Okay, next lets move on to the "What Is This".

Holy Bananas Batman!

Momma got a new front load washer and dryer! Oh Yeh!!! Delivered just yesterday! They aren't hooked up yet but I am so anxious to use them. I know what you might think..."Has she lost her mind. Laundry is not fun." Well I hated our old washer and dryer because my clothes always looked dingy and the dryer took forever to get the clothes dried. Imagine how much time and energy I was wasting on waiting for my laundry to get done. Now I should have it finished in half the time it used to take. Plus I can do bigger loads in these buggers. My hubby is building a platform for these to sit on so I don't have to bend down so far. The pedestals that they sold with them were so over priced and he knew he could fabricate something just as nice for them.

I have to say that I am so truly blessed with a wonderful husband. Without his love for me and my happiness, I would not have gotten any of these treasurers. He is so good to me. He is always trying to make me happy and looks for ways to make my daily chores a little easier on me. I hope I show him enough every day just how much I love and appreciate him. Thanks babe I love you!

Please stop back this weekend so I can show you our latest kitchen project. It isn't anything big but I sure do love it.

Blessings and hugs to all.

My Latest Purchase

I couldn't wait to share with you my latest purchase. Mind you I haven't received my goodies yet but I snagged the pictures from the Ebay seller because I was so excited and I couldn't wait. I found this Ebay seller from one of my favorite blogs. A Primitive Pond at http://primpyourpad3.blogspot.com/.

~Look What The Mailman Brought Me~

Good Tuesday evening everyone. I wanted to share with you some wonderful things that were waiting for me when we returned from our vacation. I was the lucky winner of a birthday giveaway. I won this primtastic bonnet from Jenn at Bittersweet Prims. I kind of won this by default because Jenn had to pick two winners. I'm perfectly fine winning this way. Hey I will take a homemade prim creation any time I can get one! Look at this perfectly prim goody. This is the first bonnet I have ever had. Now I know why so many ladies are fascinated with them. For now it is hanging on the side of a ladder that sits on the hearth of our fireplace. Eventually I will have it hanging from a peg shelf.

Next I participated in another fabulous swap hosted by none other than Char from The Pickled Pepper Patch. This swap was a textile swap. My partner was Tammy from A Primitive Place. I absolutely love everything Tammy sent. She is very passionate about prims and she is also a wonderful crafter. Isn't that swatch of fabric the best. How does something that simple give a girl such pleasure!

These stockings will just be perfect hanging at the fireplace this Christmas. I just think they are so darn precious. I may have to ask Tammy to make me a couple more of them.

This pillow sits on my couch. I love it.

Last but not least, Tammy was very generous with hand towels, fingertip towels and napkins. At least I think they are napkins. I'm really contemplating framing them.
I really want to than Jenn and Tammy for being so generous with their giving. One day soon I will be having a giveaway so I can possibly give back to someone something just as special as they have so graciously given to me.

That's all for now. I think I hear my bed pillow calling me. I hope everyone had a fabulous Tuesday and I hope the week ahead brings you many happy moments and tons of blessings.

Hugs,
AMY

ps. Tammy I'm hoping your swap package makes it to you tomorrow.
