nothing but the truth

let's be honest here..
i haven't been a good blogger.
i have been a bad blogger.
 thank you to those who push me to be the blogger i should be.
i am the blogger that WILL.
but i found this cute saying in the meantime...

{you must give credit where credit is due..i learned this the hard way from unknown peeps on blog land..the rules i tell ya of blog etiquette}

that is the absolute truth to how i feel these days.
not necessary all my ideas but there are just so many ideas running in my head. i must narrow my focus, get down to business on my house, my life, my blog...

i have been distracted by all sorts of things lately..mainly my boys, going to the gym, tanning and laundry..OK so i watch, i mean WE (my hub & i) Jersey Shore (i don't know how i feel about this season..not as entertaining..). but really, i am in my best friend since 3rd grade wedding in November and want to look killer or just better than normal. i know tanning beds are bad but it feels so good to have a slight bronze glow. hitting the gym or my new thrill of running around my neighborhood in the late hours of the night has been cutting into my "blog" time or my talking to "lindsay" time as well.
i am sorry for this.
and laundry..well we know that never ends.

but let's move on... it's getting late and i must run..really.

For all you hoarders, i mean COLLECTORS, out there you will enjoy all things about these 2 BOOKS.

i have devoured them page by page and even had to send one to my mom-in-love!

i will be more than happy to honor the "FOUND, FLEA & FREE" way of living, thinking, buying, decorating, thrifting, junking and gifting!

wouldn't you want the "things" in your home, your life, that tell a story other than "made in china". trust me i have that too, but i cherish my vintage pretties so much more!!

this book is preserving not only an old cottage but a piece of her heart...awwwe.

these TWO book's have given me loads of inspiration!! aware for my like of all things old... i found a even deeper reason to continue the madness. my husband will be thrilled when i tell him the news..i am pretty sure he has already figured this out :)
on second thought let's just keep this our little secret!!

 and then there are these 2 girls, to whom my mom introduced me to via their TV show. in my neck of the flat lands of the great

pan handle of Texas it a picker's dream or it is to me at least. these ladies take junk and make fabulous furniture out of it....plus they look pretty cute doing it too!! as you know i like me some threads..whoever their stylist is send me their info!! 

 i personally think they pay way too much for their junky finds but who i am to judge. just watch and learn folks.

it is that time..

time to run..really i am not kidding!!
