Sweet Friends in Blogland


Good Morning.  Happy Sunday.

Our week end has turned so cold.  We went from 80 in the week to 49 today.  Crazy weather.  I guess Fall is here to stay.

I know I have said this before but it is so true you meet and find the most wonderful people in blogland.  It feels like such a small world sometimes.

I have been so blessed with so many wonderful blogland friendships.  I received a couple of sweet gifts to share with you and also to send big hugs and thank you's to the special people that gifted me.

I think a lot of you know  Judy from 20 North Ora.  I love her Etsy shop and all her beautiful creations.  Judy just put Herbie the Owl up for adoption last week and the minute I saw him I felt I needed to adopt him.  I am usually not a big owl fan but Herbie stole my heart.


I love all the sweet fabrics Judy used to create this special owl.  Thank you Judy. XXOO




Judy gifted me this cute runner in with my owl.  Does she know me or what.  I love this runner Judy thank you XXXXOOOO!



Love the polka dots and the cute ruffle.  So perfect for my dining room table.  Judy you are just the sweetest thank you.




I received a package from Carol from Art and Sand this week too.  She made me a pretty Love banner for the old vintage door hanging in my bedroom.

Carol knows me so well.  All the bling she added to this banner is so me.  Carol I love this and love you for making it special for me.

Love Carol's sweet attention to details.  This was the cute little bag she made to put the banner in to send.  Toooooo cute.  Thank you Carol. XXOO
A lot of you know that Susan from Must Love Junk came into Chicago for a little R&R and she spent a couple of days with me.  We had a junkin good time.  Excuse the hair on me it was windy this day we took the pictures.  I will show you this week more of the junkin good time we had together.  Susan gifted me with a few lovely treasures when she came in to stay.

These sweet spools with bling.  I put them on my candle stick holders.  So sweet.

Susan gave me this beautiful french saying plaque.  "You are the Love of My Life"  I love this with my two love birds in my bedroom.  Just perfect!

Susan also gave me some sweet scented candles from her shop Home Sweet Home.  Ohhhhh how wonderful vanilla and pumpkin smell together.

So I will have another post up in a few days on Susan and her hubby Keith's stay with us this past week end.

Have a great rest of the week end.

Saturday Spotlight: Life Behind the Blogger







Susan from Must Love Junk, and myself wanted to do a regular feature on our blogs, something unique that hasn't been done before.   So we came up with an idea to 'spotlight the real life behind the blogger' in a more personal way.
There is so much talent and inspiration in blogland, and we thought it would be fun to bring you a closer look at the person behind the blog.

Every week on Saturday we will spotlight a blogger and have them tell us a little bit about themselves and their blogs.  You will be able to see and read about each of the bloggers on both Susan's and my blog.

Ruth from White Whimsy


Good Saturday Morning.  This week for Spotlight I am introducing you to a sweet blogger that shares my love of whites.  I love that she re loves vintage pieces with history into her home and decor.  Please take a few minutes to get to know this sweet blogger.




Hi, my name is Ruth and my blog is White Whimsy. When I was asked to do a Saturday Spotlight at Junk Chic Cottage I was honored and excited that I had been asked to share about myself and my blog.  When I started writing this post though I was at a loss for words.  So here it goes I will start with my family.  I live in Kansas with my husband and two beautiful daughters (my husband is behind the camera taking the picture).


We also have an adorable pug named Ollie.



After years of looking at many beautiful blogs I decided to start my own as a type of picture diary to keep track of some of my redecorating and DIY projects.  This coffee bar is one of my projects.



I do love my coffee and when I saw this burlap coffee bean bag at the antique mall, I brought it home and framed it.



I love decorating with antiques and things I have found at garage sales.  I get giddy when I find a deal or something that I can transform.  Here a a few of my great finds.





If you couldn’t tell by the name of my blog, I love WHITE!  Some of my daughters friends even refer to our house as the “white house.”




I also love baking and reading and recently I have gone back to college to get my degree in elementary education.  I plan on graduating May 2015 and am anxious to get back to more decorating and diy projects. Thanks Kris for inviting me to be part of Spotlight Saturday and share a bit about myself.    


Thank you Ruth for letting us into your home and to get to know you a little better.  Now that you have gotten to know Ruth from White Whimsy please hop over to Susan's blog and meet Jen from Apple And Orchard.  

Have a great rest of the week end.
Kris
