This Weekend's Project - from Pin-spirations...

All year long, I've been painting things white.

When I'm not painting something white,

sometimes I take a few minutes here and there to

collect inspirational photos via Pinterest.

SO this weekend,

my plan is to gather my white things,

grab some greenery, 

and actually use some of those

inspirational photos from my pin board

to help create a White Christmas

in my two front rooms...

In case you haven't seen my board, it's named

BLANCOPHILE CHRISTMAS.

I hope I will be able to achieve...

what I see in my mind's eye.

I hope to assemble a look that will

come close to the beauty of these...

 From Common Ground, 

From The Adventures of Elizabeth

From The Swenglish Home

I want to have my White Christmas this year.

I want everything to be light and bright,

and full of hope. That's what this season

is all about anyway, isn't it?

Until then...

Word for the Day:

Isaiah 9:2

The people that walked in darkness 

have seen a great light: 

they that dwell in the land 

of the shadow of death, 

upon them hath the light shined.

What to Keep and Where to Keep It

I really like these things.

And I've never seen anything else like them.

I bought them several years ago 

in a thrift store for $5 each. 

They're tooled leather.

And, YES, I live in Texas.

And we DO love our tooled leather here.

But these are from New York.

Probably from the 1950s.

A Google search revealed that 
Sungott Art Pieces are
upscale department store art.
They might fetch $350-450 for the set.
At an antique store...
which means I can't reorder
a couple of no. 965s anytime soon.

Anyway, I still like them, and feel
sure they are worth more than
$10 for the set. But I'm not selling. I'm keeping them.
But they may not hang in my dining room anymore.

I just have one question:
Who are the people in them and 
what the heck happened in 1607 in Europe?

They don't appear to have anything
to do with the founding of Jamestown
here in the newly founded future USA.

Any of you bright historians out there
reading this blog? Please comment and
let us know what you think!

And no. I did NOT get one wall painted
on Sunday. Or Monday. 
This is still Monday. Maybe I'll 
have something to report before this
posts on Wednesday...

Word for the Day:
Genesis 28:15
Behold, I am with you
 and will keep you wherever you go, 
and will bring you back to this land. 
For I will not leave you 
until I have done 
what I have promised you.
