Ohh ... what a great purse !!

Don't you love this purse? It's my new Brenda Johnson "Closer" Tote Bag. I love the show "The Closer" (TNT Monday's @ 9:00 pm) and have watched every episode since it first aired.

If you watch the show you will see Brenda carrying this bag everywhere she goes ... and now I have Brenda's famous and fabulous black purse for myself!!!

I know it is difficult to tell us apart in the two photos above - so don't be mistaken ... I am the one wearing brown - Brenda is wearing pink ...But don't we both look FABULOUS ?!?!

It Just Makes Me Smile ...

Yesterday while I was out and about I stopped at the Goodwill Store. I love going to Thrift Stores and have found lots of "treasures" there over the years. Here is my haul from yesterday. Two picture frames w/mats (have a fun decorating project in mind for these) a platter (another project) and a coffee/tea pot (no project in mind - just liked the way it looked.) Total Cost: $7.00.

... look how cute the coffee/tea pot looks on the black table in my entry way. Silly I know... but opening the door and being greated by my GW find and the fresh flowers... it makes me smile :-)

After taking the picture of the flowers I couldn't resist snapping a picture of the other items on the table top ... Hannah's Birth announcement and Kendall's Graduation announcement. Now...that's what I call Cute !!!

Congratulations Rusty, Anne and Bridger on the new arrival to your family - and - Kudos to Kendall for a job well done!!

The Little Black Shelf

Look at this great little unfinished wood shelf Michelle gave me. It has been waiting patiently for me to get my creative energy flowing again ...

With just two coats of my new fav paint color "Black Magic" .... and a pass over with my sander ...TAH DAH !! Isn't it just toooo cute ??!!

I hung it up in my bathroom ... added two of my favorite Mary Engelbreit pieces and a picture of me and my little luv bugs. The sassy little black purse is really a case for my glasses.

I removed all the "cluttery" items from the bathroom counter, and added this lamp. I love being in this room ... and the warm glow from the lamp does wonders for diminishing the look of my wrinkles !!
