and even more...

decorating that is...or I should really say: rearranging

lace is so amazing to me.....hand done lace that is, not mass-produced items
I love the thought of a woman sitting and creating her signature piece..and this is one of my favorites

I don't care if lace is in or out: it's in here at na-da farm


can you believe we got snow??  this picture is so much better looking now with snow!!!!

so if you remember my post a few days ago, you remember the bird cages hanging?  well, that's exactly what I did!! with a very unique piece of art by Dore, from Burlap Luxe
she has some amazing pieces of art - and I especially like the stages she has created
puppets, marionettes, finger plays, paper plays....I love it all
thank you again Dore




I don't care if things don't match
this is a bowl from my late grandmother and a shepherdess picture of a girl that reminds me of my young daughter...surround yourself with things you like!! forget about trying to fit in....


pears = organic & safe decorating :)

absolutely now the best place in the house - we were all here in this room last night decorating the tree, eating a treat or two and enjoying chai tea (the kids' favorite)

Christie Carter, from Carter's Cottage, generously gave me a hostess gift of some Annie Sloan paint, in a creamy white, and I am so tempted to paint this cabinet....

Christie has a very generous giveaway going on right now with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and accessories!!
giveaway ends December 31st!!!



and from "some" of us here on the farm......

have a jollyFULL day!

sale ends this next week in the shop!!

thank you again to all of you who love Jason's spoons...they have gone to a chef, a mother of six, and gift wrapped for people all over the country...

  1. Your so right Anne Marie, it doesn't have to match, just as we are unique people big or small in our family, we blend seamlessly together!

    P.S. I am loving the comfort of your sofa rather than the SO common fitted slipcovers! Sounds like your shop is great sucess, Congrats! :)

  4. Hi Anne Marie,
    I am so honored to be included in a posting of your peacefulness. Every inch of your creatness has me wanting to go and move things around in my home as well.

    I love where you have placed the cage, your day’s journey, never, never disappoints, a place where all your little birds are sheltered through him.

    Thank you again dearest Anne Marie
    xoxo
    Merry Christmas

  7. I hardly never open my pc on Sundays but today I have opened it and I've found 2 posts here! That was just meant to be!

    I love the decorations and all those vintage linens, I am lucky enough to have those of my great grandparents! What a blessing!
    Have a happy Sunday you all!

    Love
