grateful - 3/52...

A few friends have started a 'Grateful Project'* on Instagram in 2013. I'm a few weeks late but I thought I would join in here on a weekly basis.

This week, I'm extremely grateful for a generous, sensitive and loving family. I've had to have some treatment which means I cannot see Nora for 10 long days. I'm staying with my parents while Joel cares for Nora.

the lovely surprises that keep arriving...

Here's hoping this project will keep me positive and grateful for my blessed life!



*I"m sure a few bloggers are doing this also.  Please feel free to join in!

weekday wowzers...

I'm delighting in all the pretty Christmas decoration and present ideas this year!

I'm pretty sure the giveaway has ended but check out this website.

All the products look amazing.  I hope to purchase some for Christmas and perhaps an organic coconut oil for my new bathroom shelves...

This giveaway has definitely not closed. Thanks Che and Fidel once again for your generosity!

Salvaged...

We found this amazing coffee table on the sidewalk of our street late Sunday and after polishing it a little, I'm ready to show it off.  What a find!

It would match this couch from one small room perfectly.

At some point, I'll show you a few other items that we've been able to salvage from sidewalks or local auctions, one of Joel's favourite past times (yay for me).

Luckily, thanks to Instagram, you can't see how awful my windows are.  I'm saving the cleaning until after all the rain has disappeared...so September maybe?
