…this nasty head cold that is. I know it takes 7 – 10 days for a cold to pass so I am half way there. I spent Friday, Saturday and Sunday not doing a thing. Now it seems all I do is sneeze, blow, wipe my nose and then I start all over again. I am now sporting a very unfashionable red ‘moustache’. I am thankful it is just a cold but it kept me from an awesome photo shoot on Saturday – BOOHOO! Did you see some sneak peeks on the APP blog? Click ~HERE~ if you haven’t. Oh my… what a gorgeous home! I had blogged about the store a few times so I was really looking forward to seeing Jerrie and Norm’s home. I am thankful that I am privy to the rest of Bonnie’s photo’s and all I have to say is if you love colonial and prim, subscribe before the Christmas issue comes out this year because Bonnie captured this home so well!
So while I didn’t get to take photos on Saturday, I had taken a few around the house before I got sick, but after some minor tweaking here and there.
First I want to show you two new things…
This is cotton that Jill brought me in the fall. A whole bag of stems like this…
…that sat in the garage until after Christmas because I had so much fall décor then Christmas décor that I just didn’t have room for it. But I thought it would be prefect for a nice white winter touch so here it is…
And my other new goodie is this lamb pantry cake that I got from my friend Dana over at Homespun Treasures by Dana. Isn’t he great? He is moving come spring though….
The rest of my tweaking I did with things I already had around the house so no explanations are needed…
~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~
I am thankful for:
…soft tissues
…spiced chai tea to soothe my throat
…Weight Watchers Frozen Dark Chocolate Raspberry Bars to soothe my throat too!
…accurate weather forecasts
…hugs from the sweetest little girl in the world!
Until next time – hugs Grammee Linda

I am on day two of the cold....stayed home from work but afraid I will have to go in tomorrow....however I would rather stay in bed. Thank you for sharing your pics of the home. I love the cotton! I am afraid if I put that in my house, my nosey cat would have a ball with it.
There isn't much cuter than a little one proudly 'walking' around in Daddy's or Bampee's shoes! She is getting so big! The tweaking looks great, and by the time you are ready to write your NEXT blog, you should feel better...(and, around here we could have 20 more inches of snow!!!!!!--Yikes! )
Take care, Linda!
Lynne
I hope that your cold will leave and not linger with a cough!
Love all of your tweaking and I very much enjoyed your pics!...the cotton is perfect for winter especially and I love the tallow berries too!...that little twiggy wreath you have on your fowl/game rack makes my heart sing it's sooo cute!
Lili looks adorable trying on Bampee's boots! whatta cutie pie!
Janet

Dear Grammee L,
I am so glad that you felt well enough to do your post today. As I said earlier today, I am so sorry that you have been down with that terrible cold and missed your photo shoot. I have been thinking of you with love and get well wishes.
You home is so lovely. I think everything you do to "tweak" it are just perfect..... but then I thought it was perfect before the tweak. I just love your sense of style and decor. How I wish that I had known you when I was teaching interior design. I could have used slides of your home for several different lessons.... color, balance, line, proportions,style,periods and accents. You use each element perfectly. You are a wonderful decorator.
Feel better soon my dear. I am sending you get well hugs, Grammy L
Take care my friend, and those sweet hugs go along way of making us feel better don't they?!! Love your winter touches, just the right amount of white to brighten your home!! Hope you get better real soon! Love ya!~hugs~
Hi Linda.........I know you had to be sick to miss that fabulous photo shoot.
Love all the pics you posted today.
Here's wishing you a speedy recovery.
Linda
Linda so sorry you have been feeling bad. I loved the cotton I seen fields and fields when I went to SC this past Fall. It reminded me of snow also. Loved all of your tweaking. Truly love the picture of Lili in her work boots. Get well soon.
Donna

Hi Linda,
Sorry to hear you are under the weather and hope you are feeling better asap !
Your Grandaughter is just the cutest ! Gotta love the shoes photo ! I have one of my nephew in my shoes when he was two years old.
The photos of your home are just so perfectly prim and inspiring . I enjoy each and every one of them !
Hugs,
Linda

Hugz Linda..thanks for a lovely post
I look forward to reading these
sorry you had to catch that nasty cold..I swear I didnt leave any germs on my emails ! <3<3
LOL , as I read this I too am sporting the red moustache! Unfortunately I am only on day one.
Your blog is simply the most loveliest prim decorating blog I have ever seen. My colours are blue, beige, greys, taupe & white; I have tried to change to your lovely color scheme, but I would have to change everything- so I think I am set in my ways! You are a truly gifted primitive decorator! Thank you for your inspiration! God Bless

I'm so sorry you're not feeling good - I hate colds but thank goodness for getting older and not getting them often any more. I understand that as we age we build up an immunity to most things - one of the perks I guess. I love seeing pictures of your home - I'm always inspired. blessings, marlene
Love the pictures. Don't you just love to move things around. It is like you have new stuff when you do that. I just love the delicate twig wreath in the 6th picture from the end. I don't think I have ever seen one so delicate. Thanks for sharing. Lisa
Linda~
I am so sorry that you are not feeling well. It is never fun to be sick! I hope you get better really soon.
The photo shoot looked like it was a lot of fun. I cannot wait to see the pictures. What I have seen look wonderful.
All of your tweaking looks wonderful. You always do such a wonderful job. I hope you have a better week and that you are healthy very soon.

Lili is so precious.....
Love the tweaking you've done. Beautiful home you got.

As always everything looks beautiful!
My oh my! Lili is growing by leaps and bounds! Look at that head of beautiful curls! I love the pic of her waving at the window!
Hoping you are feeling better soon! hugs
Love those cotton branches! Hope you are feeling better real soon, Linda! Your home and sweet Lili are always an inspiration! Take care, Becky
Hope your feeling better, those nasty cold aren't much fun! My family has been blessed this year to be healthy so far (knock on wood) LOL! Your tweaking is always so beautiful and I look forward to reading your blog and seeing new pics of your home! Some day I hope to have a beautiful home like your's and be blessed with such creativity! Your granddaughter is a doll! I love them when they are little. I have 2 small children and time has gone so fast with my daugther soon to be 4 and starting school and my son going to be 7! Enjoy the time with her while she's little!
Have a great day!

Hi Linda, I hope you feel better, having a cold is no fun. I love your pictures of your house, it is nice to see how others decorate. You have a good eye for putting things together. Vicky
Saying prayers for you Linda. My last cold stayed with me for 5 weeks. I was not a happy camper. Love all your tweaks. You find the best ways to achieve the biggest impact with your displays.
Wowsers! Love Lili's curls. She looks like Shirley Temple! She is growing up so fast. I do think it might take her a while though for her boots to fit her properly!
Feel better soon Linda!
Hugs, AMY
Linda, I had that cold earlier in January and I swear I didn't feel good for 2 1/2 weeks! Of course yours won't last nearly that long (fingers crossed.) As always, loved your photos - you are my inspiration and I wish I had your talent for displays.
Feel better,
Tracey
Sorry to hear you are feeling yucky. I had that too. 7-10 days is about right!
You and your tweaking, you sure make me smile, the place looks wonderful!
Let Lili know that Noelle thinks her boots are sylin' LOL!
Love,
Me
Oh, I hope ya get to feeling better!
The pics are wonderful so much eye candy!Love the wool in the basket!
And what a little sweetie!
enjoy the day
Teresa
Hope you feel better soon! Colds can be so NASTY!
Linda, I'm so sorry that you are battling a cold - sure hope you are feeling better real soon! I love all of your tweaking and the way you used the cotton in your display. Your home looks wonderful. I know you cherish those Lily hugs!
Blessings,
Sue
Linda: YIKES! A Cold! Bummer. Get well soon!
I love your "tweaking" and that picture of Lili in the boots is too precious. I have one of grandson at 2 in Grandpa's cowboy boots...grandson is 18 now; where did the time go!
Hugs,
Joy
Your lil' one is just adorable! Hope your feeling better soon.
Feeling any better yet? Aren't colds just the worst?? I am so getting spring fever - especially to do the shop, but I'm trying to wait for Valentine's to be over. It is snowing, snowing, snowing here - again. Darn! Oh how I could love to get Lili and Lucy together, they would have so much fun. Time to run to the shop, hope you feel better SOON! Dawn
Hi Linda, I noticed in one of your pictures you have a cute topiary tree on your bucket bench. Just wondering if you know of where I can find a couple of them. I have looked at Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Target, Meijers. Can't seem to find any that aren't made of ivy. I think they are very cute added to a spring display.
Thanks
Lynnly
Love the hooked heart that Karen gave you - how is your hooking project going?
