Old, Chippy, Neglected...I'm in love

Isn't this door wonderful?

I drive by this old abandoned house almost every day and I want to save this beautiful old blue door. The details are so nice. The blue is perfect. I found the owners name but haven't had the nerve to call.

There are signs posted

Keep Out

but, I have been married to my husband to long.

I ignored them and took a peek inside.

I feel sorry for this old house.

Am I the only person that would feel sorry for a building?

I just wonder who has lived there, why doesn't anyone still live there.

It is small but apartments are small.

It is to far gone now.

I'd just like to have the door.

Maybe I'll call this weekend.

2 more days to register for my drawing. I'm giving away a book and a CD. Check out last post and comment there about The Civil Wars videos and you can have a chance to win.

Happy Independance Day Weekend

Have a great weekend everyone!

Buttons and more favorite things

So I have a lot of buttons that belonged to my Mom. She was a seamstress. I have them in jars and bowls setting around my living room. I just thought it was a sentimental thing until I found this Blog http://buttonfloozies.blogspot.com/. She has so many followers she can't take anymore! Until I started poking around the Internet I didn't realize how many people there are out there like me. That is one of the reasons I post my images here coz I hope there are people who will be inspired by my work. I also love tea cups (but I don't really drink tea), I really love white dishes and I will be shareing some of these with you in the near future. For right now I'll share a couple of images I was just playing with.
