A big bouquet of "Thank You's" for all the wonderfully warm wishes you left for my speedy recovery. I am on the mend. The Fashionista really kept the house running during that time and Mr. Decor thankfully is now home again. Let's have some fun with a Vintage Linen Makeover. Two of the treasures that I brought back from my grandmother's house were these cross-stitched pieces of linen that featured a courting couple.

Where the Quaint Things Are

"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time." ~ John Lubbock Where the Quaint Things Are While I am on my week-long sabbatical I thought you might like to visit the blog my first born has created.

It was not a darling cosmetic bag or washable suitcase that caught my eye, but the Ribbon Covered Chandeliers.
