I love your posts because you know how to stretch a dollar and make it beautiful instead of making it scream "uncle ugly." Like you, I love living beautifully, but most of it comes from a labor of love, little money, and just putting all the "finds" together in one happy family. You are so very talented! Thank you for sharing.

Many happy moments in 2010! I am glad I found you.

Oh thank you sooo much DallasLori! I think that's the lovliest compliment I've ever received. I have such a pasion for decorating, and it's wonderful to hear that you are a kindred spirit! I adore the designer Charles Faudree (do you? so of course I have all his books *winks* And I also love all of Betty Lou Phillips books. I'm addicted to Romantic Homes and Romantic Country Homes magazine as well. I'd love to hear which ones you love? Vanna

I think your rooms are the prettiest on this entire website. Your taste and style are exquisite. I am wondering where you find inspiration...any particular publications or websites? Any shops that are your favorites?

Awww thank you Brittany. I found the drapes at Linens n Things going out of business sale. I looked to see if anyone else had them and I found a couple of panels on ebay here http://cgi.ebay.com/Silk-Drapery-Buffalo-Plaid-96-One-Panel-06_W0QQitemZ160293181548QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCurtains_Drapes_Scarves_Valances?hash=item255237d86c&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14
