Wildflowers in Purple and Pewter



Hello and Happy Weekend
from Fox Hollow

Jim and I have been busy bees.

We decided to do a little DIY today.
It's an idea we had been tossing around 
and finally decided to just go for!

He tackled that project. 
I tackled another.
Both are complete.

In addition, he whipped up some 
super yummy BBQ chicken 
and the rest of dinner while I showered.
(my project took a little longer)
I tell ya... >lucky girl< over here!!

Also, the fireplace is done.
At least... Jim's part is.
I however, need to do some touch up painting 
and add one more layer of paint on the trim.
Then I can reveal it! 
We just got a little sidetracked but I
promise I will share it really soon.


I can share this though...
some pretty wildflowers 
in a thrifted pewter pitcher 
with a sparkly garage sale door knob 
thrown in for good measure.

(I'm a sucker for knobs!)


This moth liked sure liked them.
It was right at home.



Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

Can't wait to see the fireplace - you've been teasing us for months!

And Jim may just have to be nominated for hubs of the year - he does DIY projects and cooks!

I sure like the flowers and the pitcher and the knob. I never see knobs like that, I hoped at Habitat's ReStore, but no luck. So the hunt continues. I'm kicking myself now for not looking close at the silver plate set at GoodWill. I have a set that needs to be cleaned up but it was different. Hopefully it'll be there next time. Enjoy!!
