Pigs, Cows, Roosters & Beagles

I sure wish I had time to play more with this meme and hope she'll keep it going.

Happier Than A Pig In Mud is Hostessing

Barnyard Bash Linky Party 

She is toggling off of the infamous Rooster Parties we all love from Barb at Bella Vista.

Found this in my archives of Hubby and Lil Guy having an awesome breakfast before school and work 1st week of school last Fall.  I had set the whole scene with a cow teapot and creamer that Hubby bought me years ago, happy yellow flowers in the creamer...pig and bale of hay and the ticking napkins and placemats.

Oh, and the William Sinoma farm animal napkin rings and Mother in Law's olden milk glasses.

My Piggy is way up in the rafters of the Kitchen cabinet display.  Oink Oink!!  I love Farm animals~always have and since Hubby's parents have a Pig farm along with their acreage...I'm lovin' them forever.

I wish I could access a pic...if I ever even got 1 of my lil potty room that was off of the laundry room before we tore down the wall between them to make it a muddroom.  I had the whole decor cows and pigs!!  I've parted (painfully) with most of that decor.

I felt obligated to show ya'll a shot of Mother in Love's Sunflower garden from 2008.

I have never shared with ya'll my extensive Muffy VanderBear collection.  Here are some of the barnyard animals that youngest and gal from next door played with last year.

Dear G'ma from Massachusetts sent this to me.  She is grazing among the wheat we planted from seeds youngest gathered last year.  I think the cow was because they are from a Dairy farm area?

Just a reminder of my beloved rooster edged kitchen window treatment.

And...my funky Rooster that clucks all over the house.

I have GOT to show ya'll my master suite this Fall.  It is inspired from this Waverly Toile Farm bedspread my momma gave me.  See the Turkeys running around?

Lastly...my identity crisis is OVER..

Bloomin at Beagle Run Cottage it is!!

Unless I can edit the banner to read simply~Beagle Run Cottage.

It is all Jack Beagle's fault. 

Thanks to precious Holly at Banner Hause News for not only creating my banner, editing it for me more than once, but giving me sound advice about my bloggie.  She has the most awesome olden images anywhere and my prayer is that the Lord would chase my Donkey fren down to bless her for all the blessings she gives by sharing her gifts and talents in blogland.

Hope your weekend is something to CLUCK about.  lol

Dishes and more dishes

I got permission to take these photos for ya'll this summer at a junk shop in North Carolina.  I have discovered an area I knew nothing about for 15 years of visiting this area.  I finally looked in the phone book and got a lead on a resale shop and found 3 others on the same olden strip!!  Just 4 blocks further away from the farm than I have ever gone before for shopping and errands. 

Jackpot!!

I did not buy any of the fun dishes I found.  We flew in for the 1st time in 9 or 10 years so no big junk hauls for me this year.  lol  I brought my niece and my youngest with me this trip.  It was soooooo hot in the shop I thought I'd pass out and so did my son, but kept looking anyways. :)  My son kept begging for us to leave...but there were dishes and more dishes to see.  My boys have caught the Junkin' bug, esp. the youngest.  Niece has it too but her mom is a Neat Nick/Control Freak...she can't act on her impulses or else has to leave stuff at G'mas. ;(

Fun...Happy flowers!!

What is not to LOVE?

Ironstone...no wonder they are still in perfect condition. 

70s vibe to love!!

Blue Transferware

Yumminess!

Thought about Nancy, from Nancy's Daily Dish with this pile.

Wedgewood Yummy!

Yes, my heart nearly leaped out of my chest for these beauties!  I have an olive green and purple thing going that could be the theme of my dining room and these would be perfect!!

My head was spinning, the kids were begging to leave and I was busy scheming if they'd fit in my suitcase. lol

Garden Licious!!

Johnson Bros..England

My gorgeous niece, MacKenzie. 

She found a stash of olden hats and tried them on for me. "Aunt Denise...Look here."

"Yes, Honey...Aunt Denise sees ya...but there are dishes and more dishes!!"  lol

Fall front entry

I'm cleaning up my entry way. 

Sorry, Uncle Sam Nutcracker will no longer greet you at my home. lol

I'm trying to get ready for my prayer group breakfast this Friday.

Mom's In Touch has been such a blessing to my family. 

We kicked off middle school group last week and now I'm kicking off elementary school group.

If you visit the web link above you can find your area group leader to join other moms to pray for your child/children's school once a week.  You'll never find a better blessing!!

"They all joined together constantly in prayer..."

Acts 1:14

So....this was the fun and easy part. 

Now, today...I gotta clean the living room.  EEK!!

My beloved console that I have replacement hardware for and still can't bear to paint but desperately need to.  I don't want to lose the burled details on the stain but staining will be lots of work.  I got her in pretty dilapidated condition already.  I fantasize about buying a piece of marble for the top but look at the cuts that would need to be made for it.  I've seen ideas about painting cream below and then staining or painting the top dark.  Anyways, took everything (LOTS) off of the top and added my $1 runner that I thrifted this Spring.

Who would believe me? ;)

Got this beloved bunny last year after Easter clearance and have never filled his baskets before.  Well, this gorgeous floral bunch was on clearance at Michael's a few weeks ago so here we go.  I filled his baskets with floral foam (from the Dollar Tree) and individually clipped and placed the picks.

Ohhhh, My Goodness!!

Now, I love him even more.

He'll have to carry Christmas floral or tiny gifts in his packs in a few months.

got this pretty from Debby at Cozy Blanket

It is hung on the shutters at the front door.

I parted with the Valentine's hearts that were here...Finally! gosh...lol

I could NOT walk away from this bargain at Ross this Summer.

I felt like a ghourd~darn idiot carrying this long...out-of-season piece to check-out. ;S

Yes...that says...49cents!

I never met a scarecrow I didn't like.

I have got to take a photo class!!  I can not get decent pics in here.  The glare always blings off of a rabbit in the picture.  Not perfect yet; however, this is what my prayer partners will see because I gotta clean the living room and kitchen area too and figure out a savory and sweet muffin recipe I want to use for them.
