Picture This...

Before I get started, I want to congratulate my good buddy Melissa, at The Inspired Room, for her 100th Post!! Awesome Possum!!! She is having quite a French-Inspired Satellite party over at her place as well as a FUN giveaway to those who enter comments on the party posts, which began on November 1st. So, get on with your party self and whiz on over for a feast for your decorating Deva eyes and enter to win for the giveaway! Ooooo La La!! Oui!? The photo above is from the shop Blissful, that of which Marvelous Melissa is posting about. This is a new shop in Canton, Ohio - wayyy to far from my reach (I reckon hubby is happy for that) - but it is full of beautiful home accessories. Oh how I wish I had a jet to fly me there! Somebody? Anybody?

Yesterday I shared a "grate" idea to display your photos or cards. There are so many ways of framing pictures and I love all kinds of old frames..wood, metal (especially silver) and etched glass frames.

These are old film cartridges used as frames for old pictures. Love the beach one!

I bought these from Marsha, who owns Laura Bells's antiques...click here.

Great number graphic on top!! :)

A Victorian Pyrography frame. This is the photo that came with the frame. I just love the green flowers and leaves.

Below is an antique pitcher and bowl that my mother gave to me. For years she had it in our bathroom. Next to it is an old silver frame with a photo of my momma holding me. The old mirror is a 7.00 estate sale purchase...free hydrangeas from our garden. Above is old gesso frame, but instead of a picture, it frames a mirror.


I bought this old spool that someone had put this adorable photo of two rambuncious boys on. Tucked inside the spool is an old pair of scissors - a flea market find.

Lastly, if I you could say a little prayer for my scotty, Doogs, he and I would appreciate it. I wasn't going to share this, but perhaps you all will understand if I don't get around to visiting for a few days. We took him into the vet last night to have some growths looked at on his nose. Well, the vet did a biopsy and we won't have the results back for four days, or longer. Scotty dogs are notorious for having skin issues and the worse case scenario would be an auto-immune problem. We are praying for it to not be that. So for now, he is on some meds to get himself comfy. Poor little guy. It just breaks my heart to see him have to be on steroids and to not feel good. Right now he is napping, but I need to take him out for his morning walk so he can do his thing on the neighbor's lawn. Yes, of course I have the doggy diddle bag to pick it all up.

Doogs and I wish you a wonderful weekend and keep your toes and fingers crossed for us and in your prayers for his little body to get better. Tears in my eyes now...huge lump in my throat and time to end this post. xo.....
