I can’t get over how fast the days fly by for me!
Maybe it has to do with the fact that I love what I’m doing!
So, I want to say thank you for showing up each week and allowing me to share a little bit of our life with you!
You’re the best!
What we’ve been up to this week
Last Saturday, we headed to Mount Dora for Renninger’s Antique and Collectors Extravaganza!
Hundreds of vendors from around the country come here to sell their stuff!
It happens three weekends a year, in January, February, and November.
There are tons of booths set up outside, and you can also go to the regular flea market shops that are indoors!
We had a blast walking around and looking in all of the booths trying to find treasures to bring home!
We added a few items to our ironstone collection and purchased one milk glass piece.
After we toured the outdoor booths, we headed indoors!
I don’t know how I feel about the emergence of mushroom decor.
However, I found these wooden mushrooms to be amazing!
Too bad I couldn’t afford them, lol!!
What we’ve been up to on the blog
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and we’ll prepare for this sweet holiday during the next couple of weeks!
This week we added a few items to decorate for Valentine’s Day!
Be sure to see how I made this heart pillow out of a drop cloth and sweater scraps!
Then, we continued our Winter Home Organization Challenge by addressing our kitchen countertops!
We shared four ways to declutter your counters and tips to decorate with beautiful and functional items!
If you enjoy the blog, please sign up for our email list so you won’t miss a post!
And now it’s time for the Fabulous Friday Link Party!
I hope you’ll take a few moments to see what our blogging friends have been up to!

Even if we can’t yet see signs of Spring out our windows. It is sure nice to see them at the Link Party. And I must not be the only one that feels that way! Crystal’s [Sweet Valley Acres] Cute Concrete Bunnies and Carrots certainly had everyone clicking!

Who loves snack mixes? Apparently, many of you do! Elizabeth’s [Pinecones & Acorns] Popcorn and White Chocolate Mix for Valentine’s Day looks fabulous!
Take a look at how Debra [Common Ground] uses her collection of Woolen Blankets for Cozy Cottage Winter Decor. But I am particularly enamored with how she layers them with floral throw pillows. Well done!
Ever wonder just what milk paint does? Anna [Sky Lark House], shows us a great example in a Makeover of a Thrifted Rocking Horse toy that now holds napkins on a buffet table. How clever!
Editor’s Choice
