Lori and I were putting away Christmas decorations and cleaning tonight. I hadn't gotten a chance to join Show and Tell Friday with Kelli yet. But I have enjoyed what others have shared today. Kelli has a really nice wreath on her door. And I also met some more new friends.
You can do all this too at:
I decided to share one of my favorite lamps.
I like the dangles that hang down and I carefully run my fingers through them. It came from Walmart several years ago and it didn't cost much.
Then here is this small throw that my Mother made. She uses this same design to make baby blankets. She takes different pastel colors of left over yarn to make the individual octagon shapes and then joins them together with white. I have pulled it down some on the rocker so you may see it better.
You can also see here some of my favorite books: my Bible, a book of short stories by Lori Wick called Beyond the Picket Fence, and Come Away by Shel Arensen which is a new one I got while I was away Christmas week. We found a bookstore on our way up to Ohio in Corbin, KY. Come Away is about how to have a personal prayer retreat. The author speaks of spending time alone with God, not a whole day on your knees but prayer, listening to praise songs, enjoying God's beautiful scenery, time in the Word, etc.
I also enjoy this rocker that matches my sofa. Some day I would like to have an end table by the lamp so that this can be my little corner for tea and reading. I love books and have a large collection. Maybe some Friday I will share some of them.Thanks for stopping by.
What a beautiful yard you have! Oh, I could see myself spending many hours on this couch! I hope you find the table you are looking for to get the most enjoyment out of:)
ReplyDeleteI love the fringe on the lamp, and love the throw made by your mother! Decorating with special things like that, made by those we love, adds such warmth to a home. I can see how you would enjoy sitting on that sofa and reading the Bible in the evenings. :-)
ReplyDeleteI was going to say that I really liked the blanket, such a pretty pattern. I am going to see if I can find the book you mentioned. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI like that lamp!
ReplyDeleteThat must be an old lamp, it looks so stylish !
ReplyDeleteThat throw is lovely and also is the lamp.

I think decorating can be a lot about loving every individual piece in a room, so it's nice when things are special or homemade. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I love that you like my theme :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the lamps with fringes. They have always been my favorite. Someday I will actually purchase one.
ReplyDeleteThe lamp is so pretty and I would have to play with the dangles too and from Walmart... yipee! Your book sounds really good.
