I'm not sure I'll last all summer with it, I'd love to change it up come August with some bright colors, like those on your latest pillows/cushions. They are fabulous!Pamela Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13251452639317129182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980870119150557142.post-65820698089912900062012-07-19T10:00:46.485-04:002012-07-19T10:00:46.485-04:00I knew I could count on you guys for some good ide...I knew I could count on you guys for some good ideas.Pamela Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13251452639317129182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980870119150557142.post-8297895111103416352012-07-19T10:00:26.331-04:002012-07-19T10:00:26.331-04:00oh there is nothing like fresh flowers. i love it ...oh there is nothing like fresh flowers. i love it when the yard/garden cooperates and gives me things to cut. However, right now, it's mostly daylilies and i don't think they'd last very long in a vase. Well Andrea, with Mr. Man ruling the roost, I'm not surprised that your focused on finding homes for things. And wedding presents...what fun! but I do remember, ahem, kinda/sorta since it was 24 years ago, that feeling of 'where am i going to put this?' because we started our married life in a studio aparment over friend's garage. Not a lot of storage for the things you acquire as a newly married couple. Good luck with that one sister.Pamela Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13251452639317129182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980870119150557142.post-29543727954141018142012-07-19T09:54:43.114-04:002012-07-19T09:54:43.114-04:00Thanks Duni.

But at least it's some kind of mantle over the woodstove.Pamela Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13251452639317129182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980870119150557142.post-49606186771485779002012-07-19T09:53:39.661-04:002012-07-19T09:53:39.661-04:00Agreed. :)Agreed. :)Pamela Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13251452639317129182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980870119150557142.post-57029729645192790952012-07-19T09:53:24.606-04:002012-07-19T09:53:24.606-04:00I think that's what I'll go with for that ...I think that's what I'll go with for that reason....easier to manage for those who want to participate.

Now I'm just focrssed on finding homes for things. We still don't have homes for wedding presents so will have to solve that problem before I get to changing vignettes around the house!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17302990839186249103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980870119150557142.post-89203308116412599232012-07-19T03:38:53.686-04:002012-07-19T03:38:53.686-04:00Hi Pam!

I love the US flag your dad made and the porcelain container on the left!<br />We don't have a fireplace, so no mantle. I wish we did though - I would decorate to my heart's content :)<br />Have a terrific day!Dunihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14273071467750510363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980870119150557142.post-35613190552519173962012-07-18T22:34:17.444-04:002012-07-18T22:34:17.444-04:00I like that idea.
