The sun is out this Tuesday morning but it's still bitter cold. If you can believe the forecast we have about a week left of this kind of weather and then it's suppose to turn off warm!!!! I swear, just saying the word makes me smile!!!! Drew felt fine this morning until it came time to get on the bus and then he said he felt "funny". At this point I don't know if he's truly sick or just likes staying at home with Mom & Dad! HA Since they were doing State testing today I told him he had better go but if he got sick to call us and we'd come after him. I have a feeling the van will be pulling out of our drive within the hour! HA
This morning I thought I would talk about homes. I really hate to admit this but I'm one of those people who would walk a dog around a neighborhood just to peek inside people's homes! Not because I want to see what goes on inside their home but to see the house itself! I love looking at how people decorate. Have you notice how no two people decorate alike???? Even if they have the same furniture it looks so different simply because the houses themselves are so different!
My favorite homes to scope out are those that decorate using old/antique furniture or those that have taken cast offs from others and made them theirs. Those are truly HOMES with the character of the people that live in them. It's always so amazing to me that a person can buy a simple table from a yard sale, give it a coat a paint and make it something we all drool over. I guess it's because they have made that table theirs and gave it their own personal stamp.
Living on a shoe-string budget our home falls into the "Making do with what you have" category. Now I'll tell you a little secret. If we had tons of money I wouldn't decorate any other way!!! Yes, I would buy some nicer antiques but for the most part I would still take "cheap" things and use them in my house. I guess that's just because no matter how much money I do or don't have, I'm a "cheap person" and I'm darn proud of it! HA
On Sunday I took a picture in our living room of some little "eggs" that Jeni had painted Robin Egg Blue. We mixed them in with some other speckled eggs I had in my shop and decided to display them in an old dough board I bought at an auction. When we finished with our display we decided it added just the right touch of Spring to our drab, winter filled living room. Not only was it a cheap idea but it was an idea that Jeni and I worked on together. Mother and daughter time that no amount of money could buy.
So, today I will give you a peek into "Old Crow Farm's" farmhouse. You'll see our second-hand sofa with a second- hand cover, an old primitive bench filled with second-hand items, the antique quilt that my precious friend Mary gave several years before her death, a brown and cream colored crock filled with cat toys but more importantly you'll see US. A peek into our lives and how we live. Blessings from the farm, Sher
