I love it!

one of my antique wallpaper panels

You might remember that I love umber, a deep burnt orange tone. Especially when paired with gray.

So I was crazy happy when I found out I won this lovely glass tray with those awesome colors. Sherry from Design Indulgence  featured the give-away and I felt so luck to have won.  

perfect for me...

Be sure to visit Sherry at Design Indulgence, not only is she very talented, she is hysterical!

Thanks so much, Sherry!

hey, that's my wallpaper!

I didn't recognize the 'vintage' wallpaper on these panels until I saw this close-up.

 

Even then, I thought, 'Is it...? Could it be......?'

now completely gutted for a re-do

It is. The same wallpaper that was in our master bathroom. 

Folks, this is probably the closest I will ever come to being in Lonny.

my heartfelt thanks...

I lost my father this week. As I sat with him the day before he died, he kept glancing around the room. 'What'er you lookin' for?' I kidded him.

He grinned slyly and said, 'Peace.'

He had a wonderful sense of humor.

I'm signing off for a while.

I adore each of you.

My wish for you is a holiday filled with the ones you love.

And peace.

My love, Donna

my christmas wish list.....

Please visit me today at Greige, an interweb hot spot for all things gorgeous. I'm asking Santa-Baby for a few goodies this year - a little art, a little bling, and a little surprise for my stocking.....

Is that gray grasscloth? Yum!

vintage christmas ornaments

a couple of years ago I found a 1950's era silver tinsel christmas tree at a vintage/junk shop for a steal. It's perfect for my small collection of vintage ornaments. If I had my way, it's the only tree I'd put up for the season...

(and, no, I don't have the rotating multi-colored light to go with it.....)
