The Room Up Stairs

OKay I’m so sorry…no excuses!!! I promise to do better in the future. I have been too long away from my Blog…there all better now…

I have made progress on my little(HUGE) project up stairs…yea!!! I had a couple of my dearest girlfriends over to go thur some of the goodies up stairs…I have a couple more friends coming next week and I really need to finish up (the odds and ends of the whole mess)…anyway they(being my BFF’S)found a number of things they didn’t want to leave without…and we had the most fun digging and talking,and digging and talking some more…we had lunch out and coffee in the up stairs rooms…Oh yes, I said ROOMS…it started out only to be the room at the top stairs! Well guess what? Too much stuff for one lonely ole room…now it’s 3 rooms and a hallway…OK laugh if you must, but we all have this problem of TOO much stuff.

I’m also going to De-Stash on my shop on Etsy(as soon as I can sort some things out)…lol!  OK now for a few pics of stuff in the rooms up stairs…and more pics later of the rooms and some of the De-Stash…the room upstairs 002the room upstairs 001the room upstairs 004the room upstairs 003the room upstairs 005the room upstairs 006the room upstairs 007the room upstairs 009the room upstairs 011the room upstairs 013the room upstairs 014the room upstairs 015the room upstairs 016

Just a short walk around my yard with my camera, on Christmas Day…shows you just how beautiful a *Winter White Christmas* is.

The Osage Inn

My friends and I  took a journey back in time  at The Osage Inn,last Monday. Osage Inn is a lovely restored, Civil War era log house. It is furnished in Antiques(with a capitol A), with just the right amount of modern amenities, a peaceful retreat…We had the log cabin completely to ourselves,on our over~nite stay.

I’m posting pictures that I hope will show you the country retreat in all it’s Glory.

Hope you enjoyed our stay as much as we did…until next time…
