Batteries, Bottled water...and barnes and noble??

While the rest of the east coast is bracing and preparing for the hurricane my idea of survival is stocking up on my favorite magazines. I still think Wegmans has a better selection and I don't know why. ANYWAY I got Paula Deen Southern Living, Create and Decorate and a new little book from Taste of Home for  freezer cooking....
So I did some decorating yesterday. It was a grey and dreary day and I was in total nesting mode. I went to  one antiques shop in search of something but didn't quite know what. So out I came with this and I love it...

Isn't it adorable! I love that I can use it to decorate for each season. It can be both primitive and shabby chic... Excited for my first purchase!

Then I went to this one primitive store that has ignited my interest in this decorating. I was in there a long long loooonnnggggg time. But it was so nice to just look and dream and get ideas. I did buy quite a few things and I was happy to find that the prices were lower than I thought. I still may order some things online but I wanted to get going on my decorating. Here is the finished display.....

Isn't it adorable! I love it. The two tapers are battery operated flicker ones I bought at the store along with the tin star the garland and the sunflowers next t the bear. The table cloth I have had forever....


Here are some more pictures... enjoy! That little bear originally had a little sweater on that said England am guessing it was someones souvenir. However he as been repurposed, and changed in the sweater fora cute homespun bow. awwwwwwwww aint it cute??

 Hope you enjoyed the new decorating, I had fun arranging it!!
