Gifts of Roses!

I made a decision earlier this week and I'm only going to be posting every 2 days now. I love blogging but other things are becoming more important. :-)
~*~

I recently received a surprise in the mail!! Just take a look at these gorgeous faux desserts created by my sweet friend, Miss Rhea. Go visit her Giveaway for fabulous pastries. You really don't wanna miss it, chicks!!!


And my own initial "C" is now hanging over my antique school desk - painting desk - now!!
A satin and velvet hanger. Woooooeeeeee!!
Yes, I've named her Rhea and she sits in my living room on a sofa table - proudly!

Vintaaaaaaaaage wallpaperrrrrRRRrrr!!!! Yesssssss, isn't that so kind of her. I just love it and will do something special with the wallpaper soon.
:-) <-------me with a huge grin on my face!

These I ordered from the internet and they came. I'm putting them all around the room. When I say "girly-girl room" I mean a girly room!!! I ain't wimpy 'bout it, chicks; I go all the way. I have 50 and the leftovers will go into other rooms after they are painted. This can take a couple of months though. I don't have the energy to do the whole house at once. I'm an ol' chick, ya know!! ;-)

I was truly blessed this day. I live a "charmed" life, my sweet cherubs!!

  3. Connie Dear, you show me things I cannot handle first thing in the morning. Even 'faux' treats make my mouth water and that's not a good thing before the morning gloppity-goo of heart-healthy oatmeal!

    Love the C, very cute! I think I might have to wander on over someday to take in the total ambiance of the so-girly girl room you've been lucky enough to call an office!

  5. Oh Connie, those cakes are so cute... and they look so real too! I've been looking for those gorgeous faux desserts in our local stores for a long time now, but it seems that no body carries them.... guess I'd have to buy them over the Internet... :)

    Have a lovely day, sweet lady!

  9. You crack me up! You are so hilarious. Can't wait to read your upcoming series on household chores -- it should be good for lots of giggles, especially as you've had so many more years at doing those household chores than EYE have. ***SNORT***

    Your desk is gorgeous -- what wonderful ideas. I've been looking for an old metal filing cabinet to cover - thanks to you I'll remember to use something besides, um, FABRIC SOFTENER - to adhere the gift wrap I plan to use....

    I got a GREAT inspiration for covering one of my bedroom windows from two of the many window dressing photos you posted. I hope it works, and when/if it does, I'll send photos.

    OK, blushing blog buddy, time for me to get back to the easel!

    Have a WONDERFUL day!

    Hus, Ronda

  28. Hi Connie! Don't tell me I have a southern accent LOL!!! I'm going to have to delete the video it's causing my computer to run so slow and I got a message from flashplayer stating that it could cause my computer to stall completely. I went over to Raxx and she has a chat box so that you can do chatting on her blog. I think I'm going to put one on my blogg too. Deb

  33. Oh, you lucky, lucky girl! I have been drooling over her sweets and especially those blue and *pink* cupcakes she had, but sadly I wasn't quick enough, *sniff* *sniff* and someone else bought them! Ahhhh well, perhaps she'll make some more!

    Enjoy all those wonderful goodies and your beautiful work space!
