Monday Fluff

P1010037a

Time to clean….

P1010019a

..which means whip out the Swiffer, Windex and Pledge.

A little dusting here…

P1010006a

..and here…

P1010034a

…and here.

P1010036

Taking note that this old motto is missing a few letters….funny how you catch things when really paying attention.

The dried hydrangeas need a little fluffing…

P1010041a

…and dust blown off of the shells.

P1010044a

Cleaning stacks of things here and there….

P1010046a

…and taking my time to get in the nooks and crannies.

It feels good to have things clean again…

Happy Monday!

  8. I can just picture you there...dusting and fluffing and humming a little tune while the pets sit around watching! lol What a warm and comforting home you have. Now...can you come over here and work some of your magic? I hate dusting!

  9. I never quite knew just how much stuff I had until I started dusting it! Cleaning services never do quite the same job as I do. My problem is that I take too many breaks in between. What should be a day's worth of cleaning turns into three! LOL

  12. Do you use anything special to clean the tops of your books, Becky? I have such a time with mine. Everything looks so much spiffier after a good cleaning!

    (I loved the story you shared with me in your comment. That must've been so incredible to see. I'm glad that you recognized it for what it was...love sent down.)

    would have it any other way.

  26. Your nooks and crannies are among the most charming that I have seen! I always love seeing photos of your treasures.

    What did we do before swiffers??? I should have invested in the company!

  28. I did this last night. Cleaned and vacuumed and mopped. Until next week, just like you said. But it sure feels good right after it's spiffed up and smelling fresh, doesn't it? Your house is so inviting.
