This and that.

Whew...we finally got our taxes done, and sent in.
I hate that feeling...knowing you have to do them.
We usually have them done right away. For some reason, Mr. L waited until now to call for an appointment with our accountant to get things done.
Anyway....that's a load off my mind.

We received some new jewelry for the gift shop at the pharmacy.
This pin caught my eye right away.
I was drawn to the colors, the needlework, and the soft fur around the outside.
It reminded me of something an old gypsy would wear!

At first I was planning on putting it on a lampshade. When I got home,however, I went right to the column, and added it to the draped lace, and crinkled ribbons.
My supervisor also makes jewelry, and sells it in the gift shop.
I LOVE this red bracelet!
Needless to say, this also came home with me.

Remember when I shared all of the pillows that I ordered for the bed?
I also ordered this Shabby Chic Romance slipcover for one of the dining room chairs from Shabbyfufu.
I wanted to see if it would work with my chairs.
It works better with the flat back chair, than it does with the curved backs...but it will work okay until I can replace the curved backs.
So....I ordered more slipcovers over the weekend...Yay!
It takes a few weeks to get the covers. When they do get here, I will show you how the table and chairs look all gussied up together.
The dogs think I bought the slipcover for them to play under...kind of like their own little camp...NOT!!!
I hope you are enjoying the weekend. It's still cold and snowy here at the Lakehouse...but the winds of March will soon be here to dry up the last of winter.
Warm hugs!

  1. The jewellery pieces are both lovely, Debbie. Of course my eye was drawn immediately to the blue brooch. The ruffled chair slips are so pretty and airy looking! My guys would destroy a set of them, but one would look lovely in a corner of our living room.

  4. I have never seen a piece like the first one with the fur around it. I can't imagine wearing it myself but it is PERFECT for a decorating touch! I LOVE the colors of it. Your chair covers are gorgeous. I would like to camp out under them myself- xo Diana

  8. I like the blue broach and the chair slipcover is rather girly, it will be nice to see all your chairs with the table.
    Funny you said about the dogs playing under the slipcover, the other day I caught mine wiping his face on the vintage tablecloth on the dining room table. :-)

  13. I love that red bracelet! All the pretty ruffles, the slipcovers are really frilly and nice. I also like seeing your beautiful header each time I visit! We had 5 inches of snow here in southern Arizona...that never happens. I'm afraid the neighbors will get together and ship me back to Minnesota if this keeps up! :)
