French Country In the Mountains

Hello Friends

I'd like to share this beautiful French Country bedroom and the handcrafted flower arrangements by  talented friends Pam and Vanessa. This bedroom is Vanessa's  and I asked permission to take some pictures. 

Beautiful Bedroom with some antique pieces

 

The chair was upholstered by a friend 

This frame was painted and crafted by Pamela

  
                                       The flower arrangement above the bed was made by Vanessa 

These ladies are owners of Fancy Expressions for those with a unique taste and classy design

Hope you like them and get inspired by this beauty

Have a Blessed Day

Autumn in the mountains

    


                                                               Hello Friends!
     

We've been having warm temperatures in the mountains and the trees have the most vivid colors of the season.

                            Simply stunning! This is one of my favorites situated on one side of our home

This yellow tree is almost fading but still beautiful

They look like this every year 

   

Just a cup of coffee

                                                       Enjoy Autumn in the Mountains

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

   

Dear Friends

 It's been a long time since last time I wrote something. It's been 6 months since my mother-In-law Louise passed away and that is the reason I wasn't able to blog. But is Halloween and I'd like to share some of mom's Halloween collections, she was so good decorating the entire 3 stories home where she lived in and this was one of her favorite holidays. Here is to you mama Lou! 

Aren't they cute...

Cookie jar and spooky pumpkins 

Boxes and pumpkins

Hope you enjoy them

Have a Blessed Day

EASTER BLESSINGS

Hello Friends!

In celebration of Easter weekend, I'd like to share some of my favorites of the season,

Like Tea, bunnies and daffodils! Yay

What about Tea for One

Or maybe Tea for two

Just prepared this small table with Easter eggs for my little 

granddaughter Kimberly Sofia who will be visiting on Sunday.

I love this vintage spring tin and the lovely cocktail napkins with the bunnies, 

Fresh Daffodils from my garden ! 

Thank you for stopping by

Have a Blessed and Happy Easter

St. Patrick's Day

Hello, Friends!

It's been a long time since last time I shared something with you.

I can't believe is middle of March already! time flies when we are having fun.

We bought  this shamrock years ago in party city in New Jersey and my hubby Patrick,

had the clever idea of adding Christmas lights through the whole thing. It looks 

nice don't you think?

So I got green apples for him to celebrate St. Paddy's Day

And a beer 

Thank you for visiting and come back again!

Have a Blessed St. Patrick's Day

BABY BLANKIE

 Hello dear friends!!

       Another cold day in the mountains and being indoors motivates me to do something productive.

I've been working on this baby blanket during snow days and is done!
                      Crocheting brings back memories from my childhood,when grandma used to give us
        a ball of wool and a crochet teaching us every single step.
    Now we are expecting some snow for Monday and Tuesday,and 
I already have another project to make!

Simple Crocheting 

I used 3 rolls of Cascade Yarns Pluscious of 3.5 oz each

I wasn't sure to use yellow for the border 

As you can see,I used white instead  

Very nice for a Baby Boy don't you think ?

Looking forward to your next  visit 

Have a Blessed Day

SPA TIME

Happy Sunday Friends!

Another beautiful day up on the mountains,the snow is finally melting! 

and I am ready to share a little bit of beauty care.

How important is to moisturize your hands specially during winter time,

 not only provides hydration it also strengthens cuticles and make them look younger.

     

You can pamper yourself at home

After your spa time, relax with a cup of tea !!  

Have a great afternoon

MY PERUVIAN DISH

Hello Friends!

Another sunny and cold day in the mountains, but being indoors motivates me to cook and bake so, I was in  Peruvian cuisine mode and made this delicious and traditional dish Papa a la Huancaina. It is one of my faves and I enjoy making it.

Hope you all have a great day !!
