Line Upon Line



Hope you had a pleasant week-end.  

*Raining off and on.  Cooler temps like it should be September.  Wonderful and easy to enjoy. 

*Mission accomplished.  Friday Haircut happened.  Hallelujah!  
I feel 5 pounds lighter.

 
*Friday Night Date Night with Hubby.  We browsed the local Antique Mall and spied an extra set of Blue Willow Sugar and Creamer Set for our collection.  

Supper Salad under the trees.  Relaxing.  Time together to talk.  The weather was pleasant where we had the auto windows down.


















We were driving around when we saw a "FREE STUFF" sign out front of an Antique Store.  Free Stuff?  FREEEEEE!  Went home with some white Ironstone Platters and bowls.  Lovely!
 
*Week-end KSU Gardens Sale.  Purchased HUCKLEBERRY FUDGE Irises.  Bought some.  Success.

*Full day of running Saturday errands and shopping having gone to 14 locations.

*Dropped off some books at the thrift store and of course went looking for more treasures.  It's been a while since I shopped this place.  Bought a heavy metal Family room lamp with shade for $4.99.  


*Excited to get this Treasure:  1962 Hardback Book for $1.99.
Heloise's Housekeeping Hints.  Will share.  Blog fodder.
How were things done 51 years ago?  Surely she will tell me something that I have overlooked or didn't think about.


 


*Sunday, spent time on the computer researching Depression Glass Companies and Manhattan History as my sweet Husband assembled and built a couple Kitchen cabinets that he hung up 

a l l. b y. h i m s e l f.

There is an elf in himself.  He is making great headway and the Kitchen is taking shape.  I can see this room completed in my mind's eye.  Exciting.  What will it be like to cook in a nice Kitchen again?  Am waiting.  Dreaming.  Imagining.
 

*Put last coat of white paint on the old Parlour Door!!!  Pat myself on the back.  She is finished for now.  

*Will tidy Parlour this week.

*Preparing house for company arriving Friday.

*Guest room is ready for company with fresh sheets on the bed.

*Figured Menu for up coming week. 

*Hamburgers with French Fries for Supper.  Don't forget the Ketchup.

*Still raining,

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Hi Deanna,

So glad for you that your kitchen is going well - love the white door and well done for getting that painted.
I know how happy you will be when you get it finished.
Also you went home with some beautiful treasures from the Antique store - can't believe they were free.
Have a happy week, dear friend and many thanks for visiting me and your kind note.
Hugs
Carolyn

Fourteen stops on a shopping trip?!! I'd need to be rolled in the house on a stretcher! I really don't enjoy shopping so my limit is 4 stores. Kitchen is looking good.♥♫

Sounds like a great week to me! I can't believe you found FREE treasures at an antique mall. Free makes them even better! Have a wonderful week. Looking forward to more kitchen pics.

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
