Yikes, More Shopping!!

Had a nice day at work yesterday and was able to slip away right at 6pm to meet my daughter and a friend for appetizers and a drink before hitting a Holiday Boutique!
Seems like all I've been doing is shopping lately.  Can I blame it on Christmas?  I mean there are just so many great Christmas Arts & Crafts fairs to go to....how does one pass them up!
I must admit that I didn't buy gifts for anyone else except myself.  Geez, that seems to be a pattern with me lately.  But I just couldn't resist these two amazing items.  First:

 An embellished framed chalkboard.  Loving this look.  Here's the before and the after.

 

 

 

Next, I snapped up this handmade framed picture.  As you can tell I am slowly tweaking my decor with a little vintage.  Hmmm, wonder where that is coming from.  Surely it couldn't be my aging!

 

I'm proud to say this statement truly does describe our family. I am still contemplating where I am going to hang this one.  Or maybe it will go on a shelf.  
Time for me to catch up on my blog friends posts and read my new Southern Living magazine.  Sounds like an exciting Friday night to me!!   Happy Weekend ~ XOXO Nancy
