Paisley !

Well this weekend I'm tackling the dining room set I bought a couple of months ago !
December 10th to be precise - 2 months sitting here waiting patiently. ( seller's photo )

This is the set I've been trying to convince John we should keep ( and sell ours ) so far it looks like I'll have to sell it.


I had so many different ideas for this in the span of that time -

But in the end I've decided to go with ASCP Pure White and slightly distressed - I'm going to keep the paint job as easy on the eyes as possible because............................



This is the fabric I've chosen to do the seats in - pretty wild, right?

I have the winter ":blues " and want this set to look fresh and " Spring " like.

Does anyone else like it - or do you think I'm nuts?

( It's ok to think I'm nuts ................I'm of that mind myself ! )

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone !
Hugs,
Me

And what would a give away from me be without a little something Paris related?
So I also ordered this small ornament - ( one for me and one for one of you actually  )



I told John I ordered the heart for him for Valentine's day

John laughs - No you didn't
Suzan says - I most certainly did
John says - You ordered it for yourself
Suzan says - I ORDERED IT FOR YOU !!!!!!!!!!!
John says - Well I'm going to give it to you for Valentine's day
Suzan says - Oh no you don't - you have to come up with something on your own for me
John says - I already did
Suzan says - What?
John says - That Paris Heart, don't you like it?

Now where do I put it ?

On a door knob?


On the ladder in the living room?


On a dresser?


From the plate rack?


On the kitchen door that I used for storage?


John says - What ARE you doing, running around with that heart?
Suzan says - Trying to decide where I like it best
John says - Just put it anywhere - you're not trying to solve world peace or anything
John says - No matter where it ends up - it'll only be for a day before you change it anyway

Just ignore him.
So the question is




Where would YOU put it ?
The ornament I mean - since I'm assuming you'd put the necklace on your neck and the earrings on your ears ( if you have other plans for them I'd love to hear about that too lol )
Hey you could hang the necklace from a door - and the Paris Map Heart from your neck !!!

Suzan says - I'm giving one away to one of my readers
John says - Well I think we're BOTH giving it away

So - Good luck everyone from the both of us  !!!
( I haven't received the jewellery yet - so it's open until I do ! )

I really DO heart you all
Hugs,
Me
( and the Brit )




I'm forbidden to post pics of John - absolutely F.O.R.B.I.D.D.E.N. - but this is 6 years old and very blurry
 ( a pic taken of a pic) so a terrible one at that - it looks like John's missing a tooth but I promise he had all of them in this photo - unlike the time last summer when a cap broke off and we were meeting a fellow blogger for the first time LOL !!! )
Just me 'n my guy !  ( doesn't he look like a typical British school boy? )
I think I'm going back to that hair now that I see this pic - wish I could go back to a smooth wrinkle free face as easily !



I'll be sharing here !
