But we had two weeks of freezing temps. We all freaked out! LOL! I didn't get out of bed for three days one week except to creep around in the bushes and turn on the spickets. One of my friends lost her pipes. As I said, we are helpless against cold elements.<br /><br />Sending warm hugs your way...<br /><br />XO,<br /><br />Sheila :-)The Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453105784166847940.post-76913262676983038142010-01-22T14:33:47.488-06:002010-01-22T14:33:47.488-06:00Hello sweet girl...

You know, we are having the same kind of weather here...just cold, gray, dreary days! You know what I do? I turn all the lights on...especially lights/lamps where all my pretty vignettes reside...put on 50's "Be-bop" music and enjoy the blogs! Hehe! You certainly have a very beautiful vignette to look at on your pretty mantel!!! I love your new winter look, Darlin'! Love that you used several colors...like the blues in your pretty plate...greens from that lovely stack of old books...yellows from the pretty floral, swirly thing-a-ma-jig (hehe) and sunflowers!!! They're all such subtle colors and look absolutely gorgeous together! It may be a winter mantel but it has some beautiful spring hopefuls to look at!!! I love how you layered everything too...I love that look! It gives your eye so much to look at...just flowing from one beautiful piece to another!!! You certainly were successful in achieving and doing this "layered" look very well, my dear friend!!! By the way...that's such a beautiful painting and your pretty pinecone wreath above it looks perfectly paired!!! Girl, you DID GOOD with this mantelscape!!! Absolutely gorgeous!!! <br /><br />Well Darlin'...do you and Dan have plans for the weekend? It's just the two of us this weekend...don't really have any plans other than making a trip into Walmart to do a little grocery shopping! My sweet friend...you know that I love you and just adore you!!! I do hope that my little note chased some of the "hum-drums" away!!! I'll talk with you later...<br /><br />Love ya, Sweetie...<br />ChariChari at Happy To Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475994012652473793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453105784166847940.post-73588901223529235012010-01-22T13:07:06.777-06:002010-01-22T13:07:06.777-06:00Your mantle and fireplace just looks wonderful.

We had almost a whole day of sunshine yesterday, and it felt wonderful after seemingly weeks of rain and today the rain is back in full Oregon force. <br /><br />Me being housebound with this cold doesn't help my state of decorating mind. I did get half of a mirror spray painted while the getting was good. I really shouldn't work on stuff when I'm running a low fever. No telling how it will look :)<br /><br />I'm thinking of doing that same thing to my fireplace front, getting a pretty item. Do you have gas or log fireplace? Thanks for sharing your mantel. Your home is always the coziest.

We have been so lucky this winter. We haven’t had our usual snow so far or really cold. Its making things much easier to take.<br /><br />I love your mantel. I can’t believe you got the screen for that price. It looks great. I love lanterns and I absolutely love the picture above your mantel. Nice that you have one you can change up with the seasons. It makes for a whole new look each season. I don’t have a mantel…<br /><br />Have a wonderful Friday and weekend.<br />Take care<br />*hugs*<br />JudiJudihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01250508159885561102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453105784166847940.post-43017478397538884832010-01-22T05:58:45.247-06:002010-01-22T05:58:45.247-06:00Hi Cindy,
