My Humble Abode
I finally took some photos of my humble little house. It's less than 1,000 square feet and filled to the brim with treasured antiques. I am slowly as my pocketbook allows completing my home. I am still lacking my kitchen cabinets, a front porch and some of my trim. The good Lord has blessed me to come as far as I have with it.
I apologize for my random postings, work has been hectic. I wish I could comment back to each and every person that post but my schedule does not allow it. Hope you all enjoy these photos of my home.
Blessings,
Jill

Items Added to Website
Greetings everyone, I have added these two wonderful old dresses to my website for sale. They were part of my collection and I just haven't been able to find a place for them. I am still getting my house in order and even sat down to the sewing machine last night to sew. It's been awhile since I have actually had time. I want to wish you all a wonderful safe Labor Day weekend. I am off work Fri-Mon and I am really looking forward to having some time to create.
Blessings,
Jill

A Sneak Peek
I am in the process of moving in the house and getting everything situated. It is a difficult process trying to move and work full time. Needless to say I never realized that I had so much stuff! Sadly, I still have boxes of things that haven't been unpacked. I also have more things to move.............Lordy will I ever get done? I am very pleased at how the place is shaping up........it's everything I hoped for and more. May you all have a blessed evening.

Moving...................
Wow, I didn't realize how long it had been since my last post! I was smack in the middle of moving into the new home when I came down with a nasty stomach virus. Needless to say it stopped me in my tracks. I missed work yesterday and was only able to stay a half of a day today. I will have some updated pics of the house very soon.................everything is coming together and I just like the finishing touches. Such as the front porch, trim, cabinets and so on. Hope you all have a blessed day.
