I will not be doing any Holiday decorating for Easter this year because of my upcoming Knee Replacement Surgery which I scheduled for the week after Easter.....
With the pain that I am currently experiencing in my knee, I will be honest to say it has been a struggle just to take down and pack up the Valentine decorations........
So because of that, I have just been returning our house to "Normal" decor, whatever that might be.......
I want to Thank Bev, over at Eclectic Red Barn, for featuring my post, Life Changes in an Instant, from last week's Over the Moon Linky Party!!!
Please stop by and link up to this lovely party!!!
Unfortunately, Joe brought home a "Cold" that we think he caught since he is exposed to a lot of people, working at Wegman's....
He got a case of the "sniffles" and I ended up with a full blown cold, slight fever, a cough and sore throat!!!
I have been "Letting Go" of some things around the house and have taken tons of boxes to Salvation Army and gave away some things to family....
I packed away the Winter decorations in the Den even though Winter is still has it's icy grip on us here in NEPA .......
These are photos of the Winter storm that dropped about 4 inches of Snow on us this past Sunday night......
If you remember, this is what the China Cupboard looked like decorated for Winter......
This is what the top of the China Cupboard looked like decorated for Winter......
The color theme of the Den is blue, beige and burgundy and the room sort of has more of an English Tudor feel rather than the Victorian style that the rest of our townhouse has.....
When we turned what was the Patio off the back of the house into another room, I decided to call it The Den because I loved the idea of an English Den........
This is what the China Cupboard now looks like......

The picture on the wall looks very much like a Thomas Kinkade painting but it is not........
There is no markings on the bottom of the bowl and pitcher.....
I love the scenes on Transferware dishes.......

I love the Thomas Kinkade calendar!!! Such a beautiful display! Everything looks fantastic! Annster's Domain
ReplyDeleteThe cabinet itself is gorgeous, but your collection of transferware is so very pretty.
ReplyDeleteYou were in my thoughts as I read about the latest snowstorm. Sounds like you've been busy! And I hope Joe is feeling better. Do take care.
Blessings, Linda
Linda,
DeleteThanks so much for stopping by!! My neighbor was going to throw out this cabinet!! She asked me if I wanted it and of course, i said YES!! I painted it to match 2 end tables that are in the Den that Joe bought at a sale when one of the church's in his home town was joining with another. He bought the end tables for $6.00 each!! I have tried to keep busy because I am not one to sit around but it does amaze me at how tired I get because the pain in my knee is rather taxing on me....
Hugs,
Deb
I understand you not decorating for Easter. It's better that you stay off your knee. One of my sisters is having a hip replacement the first of April.
ReplyDeleteYou have some nice pieces of transferware dishes. Take it easy and take care of yourself. Thelma
We had that same storm Sunday night and into Monday. We got a good blanket of snow and it's pretty. I'm just anxious to see the end of it because we've had heaps of snow since November. I always swoon over your transferware, Debbie. It is so gorgeous! I know you have many more treasures inside the cabinet. Do take care and baby that knee. Hope you are doing well considering everything. Hugs
ReplyDeleteStunning transferware collection!!!Praying for you get better,hugs!
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful collection of transferware, Debbie! I love all the sweet little scenes on them. Sorry that you both caught a cold on top of already being in pain with your knee! Take care and stay off that slippery snow. It sure is pretty, though. It's snowing here right now. I am anxious for spring . Your little blue-birds are so darling. Hugs xo Karen
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better. The snow is so pretty but I am sure you are fed up with it by now. Such a pretty vignette on top of the cabinet, love the red tableware.
ReplyDeleteI love your collections of English china, Debbie. The patterns are beautiful. I still think you're amazing to do all that you do, especially with a bum knee! Beautiful job, Cheryl
ReplyDeleteHI Debbie. Glad to read that you have your surgery scheduled. When I needed a new hip last summer, a friend invited me to join a hip and knee replacement page. If you would like, you can friend me and I can invite you - even though you have worked as a nurse for many years, the info sharing is good and people have shared tips for recovery. I am Ellen Novak Tiene on FB
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures as always, Debbie. Those snow pictures out front are SOOO pretty (even as much as I hate snow)...lol I am glad your surgery is all scheduled. I know you are anxiously looking forward to putting it all behind you. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you have your knee surgery scheduled.....You will be amazed at how good you will get around once you've recuperated. I have been busy decluttering too......over 100 boxes have gone to the auction, and a ton of stuff went to the Lighthouse. It has been so liberating to get rid of some of the clutter...lol! I'm not finished yet though.....more needs to go to get things in some sort of "order" xo Penny
ReplyDeleteLove your spring vignette, Debbie! I especially love the birds and the bird's nest. So cute! I am so ready for spring to arrive. I told my daughter (4 years old) a few weeks ago that spring would be here in March. (Here in the Mid-South, March is usually a fairly mild month.) Now that it is March, she keeps asking me why it isn't spring yet. Hopefully, spring will arrive soon! Thanks for sharing at Sweet Inspiration!
ReplyDeleteOh dear Debbie, very beautiful decorations as usual!..
ReplyDeleteXOXO
I love your transferware and your little blue birds, Debbie! Thanks for sharing at Vintage Charm!
ReplyDeleteI love the blues and reds. Such a classy, rich look. Beautiful china, too. Thanks for sharing at #heartanddsoullinkup
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful transferware collection and I just love those little blue birds! Thanks for sharing at TFT!
ReplyDeleteHow are you feeling these days, Debbie? I love your collection of blue and red dishes. So pretty.
