Hi Jane,
Let me be the first to say that your home looks so lovely. Everything is so beautiful!!

Even Layla looks lovely and Milo is such a handsome dude.

Thank you so much for showing the runner and for complimenting me. I'm blushing from your kindness.

I can't wait to see what you do with it.

Thanks for thinking of the coal miners too.

hugs
Sissie

Hi Jane, your coffee table looks so pretty... my coffee table is one of my most favorite spots to decorate...your tray is so pretty, and so is your African violet... I love your new table runner, I am going to check out her shop too. That sounds so cute that little Niall was so excited over an Easter basket! Layla looks precious in her little Easter outfit, and your are right, Milo looks like he posed for a professional portrait! Doggie kisses to them! I hope you are enjoying Spring there... we got over 6 inches of snow in the night and I want it to go away!!! xoxo Julie Marie

Layla & Milo are a hoot! Does Layla mind wearing her dress? My reba wouldn't wear anything! She even hated it when they put bows in her hair at the groomers! Milo was so silly all sprawled out. HUG the day lights out of them while you CAN! Oh what I wouldn't do for just ONE MORE HUG from Reba!

Cute table top. Marty is such a sweetie. That runner is beautiful. Enjoy it! Hugs! Charlene

Jane, I love the tabletop! I keep seeing African violets and after we finish the summer traveling hope to get one.

I absolutely love that you are painting the trim. My husband loves wood, too. There just has to be an end to it though, you know? The plans sound great.

I'm getting buggy with the staging of the house for the market and must escape to New Orleans to see my son and sister for 3 weeks, or going alone to Disney World to recoup! See my post tomorrow! :-)
