I'm ready for some SUMMERTIME BLOGGING FUN

THINGS THAT KNOCK MY SOX OFF
Each month I am going to feature things I've found in Blogland and other EXOTIC  places
that I really REALLY want YOU to see, too.
Some will be things you HAVE seen but worth another look..
Others will be things you might NEVER get around to seeing.
I am excited to do this as I find things on blogs and online stores that really do
KNOCK MY SOX OFF...
I'm even going to make a cute as can be button for you to take if your photos appear here.
Not that MY blog is special, by NO means..
I just think it's fun to have *I WAS FEATURED HERE* buttons to brag about..I love them.
bought this darling coffee table..
She loved the industrial look of the metal legs and the
top was worn and tattered and scarred for life and she
STILL LOVED IT.
Me, too, Korrie..when I saw this photo, I loved the table, too.
 BUT....when I saw what she did with it,
I just about 
FREAKED OUT. !!!
FRENCH CHOCOLAT
I have a PERFECT table to do this on...
I can not draw A LICK...
No artistic talent..
I nearly had to check into a hospital, just trying to STENCIL...
I mean....COME ON...
But, I sure do love this one!
WELL...before I could even get this posted,
she's DONE IT AGAIN.
Go HERE to see....
**********************
 The following AMAZING photos are of a garden plot
that I just fell in love with.
Plantings in
beautiful, wooden wine boxes...
*be still my heart...... 
 Soooooo pretty...
where can I find a tub like this...?...WHERE ?
 Don't you just love it?
I find it TOTALLY amazing that she incorporated
CHARM into her garden.
A PRETTY LIFE IN THE SUBURBS
***
WHEN my ship comes in
or
WHEN I win the lottery,
whichever comes first,
This is where I want to buy every single thing in his line...
CHRISTOPHER JAGMIN
sure knows how to do my kind of
DISHES...
"who do we appreciate?"
Aren't these plates so so cute...
 He is a little pricy...
but so many pieces are of LIMITED quanity...
and they are all so cute....
plus, his line is high quality and worth every penny.
I LOVE this cutting board..
how cute it would be, with a loaf of homemade bread served on it,
along side some of his NUMBER plates.
THIS item IS limited...only 250 made...
also made with reclaimed wood.
When I first saw it, I thought
"Love this...I am going to get all the ladies in my family one for an extra Christmas gift..."
but when I saw the price, I thought
"I can't do THAT"
but I sure would LIKE to.
$125.00
If you like his line, swing over and check it out..
so many cute things.
***
 A beautiful bath TO. DIE. FOR.
 I don't think I've ever seen such a PERFECT painting for a bath.
I  LUV that shapely butt...:))
Go over and see her beautiful house.
A LOT OF WHITES and they ALL look GOOD.
ONE BEAUTIFUL BATH..
I am so in love with this beauty.
A COUNTRY FARMHOUSE
♥♥♥

Parmesan Puffed Pastry Breadsticks
oh honey
♥♥♥ 
  That's all for this month..
I'll be searching out things that appeal to MY sense of style and taste...
hopefully, some of them you will like, too.

THIS will be just a fun playtime ...no certain time of the month..
just when I find those knock your sox off  kind of things.
I will try my very best to let YOU know when your SHOUT OUT will be.

I'll just stick this little button on the sidebar and you can pick it up after you are featured.
AIN'T LIFE GRAND

THIS TIME, I am linking with
TICKLED PINK FRIDAY
SHOW AND TELL FRIDAY
FURNITURE FEATURE FRIDAY
FEATHERED NEST FRIDAY

BJ, those are all wonderful. Each and every picture. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, too, for your sweet comments. It's been a rough month, and I'm still battling an old injury that has popped up and is interfering with my bloging. I am considering taking a summer sabbatical.

Warm hugs...

XO,

Sheila

I LOVE IT ALL! You can get a galvanized tub like that at a farm feed store, possibly even Home Depot. This post is a great idea because now I just have to check all these beauties out:>) Love your eye sweet BJ!

Good Morning,
Thank you for visiting us at Red Rose Alley. Yes, I love your Blog. I just had a cup of coffee and was looking at it, and would be glad to follow it. I'm glad you enjoyed our post about "Home Treasures." I think it's great when we are passed down things from our loved ones and we keep them in the family. I have three kids, now grown, and I think we will have a lot in common. We'd love it if you would stop by again, and follow us. Have a sweet day.

NanaDiana said...

WOW! So....I am wondering...could you just spend ALL your time researching things you think I might like for me? What? Why Not??? Okay..that first table? I want to adopt that Korrie chick!!! So cute... And I LOVE the garden & the old washtub & the boxes and cutting board. But-you're right -the cutting board and dishes..just a tad pricey for gifts for family!..okay..and for me too!

Hope your weekend is wonderful! xo Diana

LUV that mix around here too. I think I'll fix us up some this a.m. You'll have to search around for a sq wash tub, I have one that is really old filled w/ beautiful flowers. All I see anywhere are the round ones but they are just as pretty.

Yvonne @ StoneGable said...

BJ, What a great monthly post! Thank you so much for featuring me this month. What distinguished company! And I count it an honor to be mentioned on your lovely blog! Now I'm off to get my socks knocked off by the other blogs you featured!
Thanks again, friend!
