happily nesting


 ever since i moved into my little rented house in late september i've been happily nesting. i thought it was time to show you a few pics of where i now call home. this is my dining room which features the antique oak table and chairs i bought when my kids were little and the old church pew i bought for $25 and my dad refinished for me decades ago.



i love the big window that faces south and the curtain i made. my indoor plant collection is growing since i have such a wonderful place for plants. 




here's a shot of nellie who you met here.  i still haven't done the collage work on her drawers but i hope to start soon.



one wall of my dining room features these originals i purchased from the itsy bitsy spill. i simply adore magaly ohika's work and i am so proud to display these pieces in my home!! her shop is here and her blog is here.

more to come on my new little home where i've found peace and tranquility.
