sheep and china under lampshade

It was a good weekend. I had a family reunion with my sisters & families and 2 different sweet cousins came with their husbands. One cousin was my little rich cousin from St Louis and I was a little poor country girl LOl (I thought) Now I know I wasn't I had all my family back then.
Anyway when my rich cousin came my Aunt always brought hand me downs and I loved them. One year Aunt Lou gave me my cousin Easter hat and I had it on in our Christmas pictures LOL I took that picture to show my cousin and her husband
I made a peach and blackberry cobbler like Grandma always made for company
This is first family reunion I had been to since I was about 12 years old

Today after a nap I thought i should put another coat of primer on this bakers rack I am painting to put in the kitchen however after putting it in the kitchen well anyway that is to many things in the kitchen so I am putting it in the bedroom with the wall rack I just painted the bedroom with the round iron bed.
I bought this at an auction a couple summers ago

Before

after

       in the kitchen



Another thing I did this afternoon is I took a plate rack off the wall in my TV room , guess my living room really anyway thought I would hang my big sheep painting in there

            plate rack


sheep painting 44x 31 it is larger than it looks in this picture





I see lovely blogs all day long where ladies post pictures of their beautiful new lovely large homes well some day until then here is a look around my living room a few things not setting where I would like them but  what the heck



That clock sitting at the end of my sofa has to go someplace , hopefully in someone else 's house. FOR SALE
 China under a lamp shade. I set the shade there looking at it thinking about what I could do with it besides make a chandelier out o fit


    The I was looking at my old books which I love to try and read like the french dictionary and the old Missouri book


one more old book then that's all but this old book I can't read anything except the date click on the picture and it makes it larger to read better                     
I have some silver I need to get cleaning

    Isn't it fun to paint things up, switch things around and then stand back and think, "Hey,that really looks good!" Great job on everything! :)

    I have a very small house and I think it's way more of a challenge to properly decorate and accessorize with a small space vs. a large one. I love the sheep picture and what you're doing with it all! And I love the color of your walls! Very fresh and inviting!

    It doesn't have to be large to be pretty and I think your house looks beautiful. Love your sheep picture and what you did to the bakers rack!

    There is always a rich cousin, at least you's brought you things. Mine just drove up in a big fancy car, fancy cloths, store bought cakes from fancy bakeries,kids dressed to good, shined up shoes and wearing expensive jewerly. I hated them, but, now they seem to be normal. Thanks for sharing. Richard from My Old Historic house.

    Love your home and all of your beautiful vignettes and displays. The sheep painting is stunning, I love pics of farm animals. Your home is lovely. I have a really tiny house, so I do know the challenge of trying to decorate a small space. I think yours is gorgeous. Thanks so much for linking to TTT. Hugs, Marty

    Did you cool the cobbler on the baker's rack?

    WOMAN IN THE SCARLET COAT

    Woman in the scarlet coat,
    Are you heading for a boat?
    Or perhaps you need a bus
    To get far away from us.
    Whether wheels or sails you take
    Don’t forget the chocolate cake
    To sustain you on your way;
    Red-clad damsel, now we say,
    “Go with grace, enjoy the ride,
    See you on the other side!”
