Curtain Call

Productive day shopping for THRIFT curtains.  I spent most the day washing curtain panels that I was blessed to find.  Taking down some curtains in the COTTAGE, I washed the THRIFT ones and hung them.  The WASH LADY was a  successful maid for the day.
  

It was pleasant time at the COTTAGE.  Between loads, I rested and sipped coffee.  With the air on I was very comfortable sitting in my green chair.

Some of the THRIFT curtains I bought today caught my eye.  I had plans for them in the COTTAGE, but got to thinking that these would go well with my bedding at the new location.  

WINTER grays in the bed covering that rested in the Master Bedroom throughout the cold months and lighter shades of SUMMERY taupe in lighter weight bedding that are on the bed today are both in the design in these curtains so I think I'll hang these THRIFT curtains in the big house across the county line.

This week-end they'll be hung and tried out.  Some rods have to be installed in the Office and Guest room.  I'll buy some curtains from Tuesday Morning for the Guest room and go ahead and hang the lace panels that are in the Master Bedroom to the Office.  The THRIFT curtains will provide more privacy in our bedroom than the lace ones.

I picked up a small turquoise lamp from the thrift store.  This will go in the Guest room.  I understand that the Bedroom furniture will be delivered this coming week.  I hope I'm not disappointed.  May the refinishing job be acceptable.  Butterflies in the gut.  If the furniture isn't up to par, what then?

The house will be taking shape as each day passes by.  I believe it's alright to ask God for HIS BLESSINGS for the HOME.  SO I asked.    

So many boxes to still go through.  Have hopes of going through all the boxes in the LIVING ROOM and placing the items in their new location through-out the house.  EMPTY the boxes.  Completely clear them out of the room.  If I get that far, I will dance on the wood floor.   I hope to find some music from a radio station broadcasting from another part of the world.  

I would like to have music in this house soon.   

Each time before I leave the COTTAGE I load items in to the car that I can easily carry from the car to the house.  My muscles are not as strong as they once were so I have to pace myself as I go.  I carried some KEEPSAKE clothing that have sentimental value attached to them.  A few days ago I washed my old Girl Scout uniform that still has the metal pins on it.  It washed up well.  The smell is gone.  Smile.

My High School Prom dress is still in my possession.  Stained from the fire, but still a garment that I will hang onto for awhile longer.  My daughter's blue Prom dress is hanging in the closet.  She's stained as well, but there is no longer smoke smell stinking up the place.  What else hangs in the KEEPSAKE CLOSET?

A small yellow dress that my daughter wore as an infant, a hand pieced vest that my Mother-in-law sewed for my daughter.  A Christmas vest, one of my Dad's colorful shirts, some other baby clothes.  As I come across articles, I will place a few more items that have KEEPSAKE meaning to me.  Some batons that I twirled as a youthful girl rest on the closet shelf.  A patch work doll blanket my Grandma sewed for me will rest in the closet. 

I'm slow at this moving thing, 

but I'm in motion.     

I wish you well,
