Dreaming of a Farmhouse

Oops, I went to TJ Maxx again!

My girl and I went shopping today.
I wanted to see if they still had the cute little ladybug costume for her.
Check out the loot!

Pretty beaded pumpkin 10 bucks.

Rooster plate 2.99.

Vanilla Extract 5.99.

The fall cupcake things were 5.99 also.

I have the bunny plates just like these for Easter.

My cupcakes are going to look extra cute with these babies!

They had the ladybug costume for my girl!!
She loves it, shes been walking around carrying it since we got home.

It was 19.99.

Soon as I got home I opened up that vanilla, it smells delicious!

I do want to add that it is NOT "pure" there is water and sugar added! (I saw that when I got home)

I don't think I've shared with yall that my husband and I make our own homemade vanilla extract.
It is super easy and so much fun!

It doesn't stop me from buying pure vanilla when I see it, I love to try different vanillas.
One day I'll share our vanilla pantry with yall!

(It needs to be organized, hubby's wine making stuff is in there too)

Hope yall have a good day!

My stools are done!

I showed ya'll one stool I finished up.
I finally got around to finishing the other one a couple weekends ago.

I tried taking pictures at different times of the day.
It was either too dark, too bright or too yellow!!

Complete view.

You can barely see my Mackenzie Childs colander hanging on my pot rack.

See the big copper pot.
I bought that from one of my favorite antique malls in Spring, TX while we were home over the summer.

Yes I needed to sweep in these pics. LOL

I like the way they turned out.

I can't wait to paint the dresser in my entry. (See picture below)
I bought a new mirror on my birthday and its now hanging over this dresser.
(I'll share soon as I take photos)
I'd like to get different curtains and hang them up to the ceiling also.

I ordered ASCP in Antibes green, it should be here soon!!!
(I think I may paint the dresser in Chateau Gray)

So many ideas floating in my head.
I will also be decorating our bedroom while my husband is gone, which I would LOVE to have help on.
That is one room in the house I have done nothing to.
I think it will be a wonderful retreat for when he comes home.
