oLD aND NeW



Today was a glorious day! The weather was perfect~hung lots of clothes out on the line, took the doggies for a walk, and thanks to Laurie, put some screens in. Nothing like fresh air blowing through your house!
I started thinking that I am a old/new kind of gal~I recently discovered a wonderful magazine called A Simple Life, the photography and articles are wonderful. I started looking around my "homestead"





old stone out front



new witch ball




Old bottles and new stained glass things




old stone step in our house



old well out back



old looking new stone trough



old door with new mushrooms



our old house



old stone porch (I love how it ripples)



old light in the living room.



old brick and steeple thingy



old attic where lots of bats live



old door bell



new old looking angel~old beehive bank and small crock



new witch plate


I'm working on some new designs with some old themes! Stay tuned~

I love the photos and the whole house, but I am going crazy over the concrete morels by the door! I would love to find some of those and will now be on a mission!

Love the little cros stitch picture too-is that one of your designs? It looks like it but I've never seen it-you should publish it if it is!! Would sell like crazy!
