Springing Forward With a Thrift Shop Clock



I was in a local thrift shop recently and I saw this little clock for one dollar.  I didn't 
need another clock because I have them in every room.  You might say I am
clock obsessed.  Schoolhouse, carriage, moonbeam, grandfather.  You name it,
I have it.  So why this cheap little one?




Because I could turn it into this.  I painted it blue and added some naive little flowers.





Somehow the soul of that little clock just needed to shine.
Don't forget to set your clocks ahead one hour tonight so that we all
can enjoy one additional hour of daylight tomorrow evening!

and

Take a long nap today Bentley because we will be losing an hour
of sleep tonight.

Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

Red and White Kitchen Remodel



After months of anticipation, I am finally starting my
kitchen remodel.  I have been collecting items for the color
scheme that is going from blue to red and white.



Just found these cute chicken prints.
Yes ~ chickens are invading the kitchen.

My Mom is stable right now and feeling better.
Thanks for your well wishes.

I am off to join Sue for Rednesday

Don't worry Bentley ~ the real chickens live
next door.

Love,
Susan and Bentley
