Oh Well.....it was good while it lasted

Ok, I know I said I'd be back today to tell you about the house I posted yesterday. However, it looks as if the deal has fallen through (to no one's fault) and there's nothing to tell you about after all. (boo hoo, sad face).

We found the perfect house, in the perfect place, for the perfect price, set down and made our plans to move.................and then..................this morning we got the call that everyone dreads getting.

Hubby's job - not on stable ground. Unstable market, drop in sales, etc, etc, etc.

And we all know that I just left my day job to be a SAHW (stay at home worker), so, the unfortunate reality is that we won't be taking that house that had plenty of room for my workshop, 2 bonus rooms (not one, TWO), storage out the ying-yang, room for everything we own, a huge beautiful yard, and close to my mom. (please induldge my personal pity party for a moment)

I'll be back tomorrow since today will be dedicated to mourning the loss of the perfect home. (boo hoo, sniff, sniff)

We're Moving South!

I'll be back tomorrow......................

                                               .............to tell you about this!

A Bit of Holiday Decorating Inspiration

I'm going to be out of town for several days and won't be able to blog, so I thought I'd leave you with a little Holiday inspiration in my absense. I'll be back with you on the 9th.

*For those of you waiting on a shipment from me, they will be shipped on the 9th when I return. This includes etsy purchases and the giveaway winners.* (unless I can talk hubs through it while I'm gone.)

The first few pictures are from etsy. I didn't save all of the sellers' names, sorry.

How easy would this be to make? You could even jazz up an existing pillow.

This one is etsy seller countrychic. You should look at her darling stockings!

This is from seller southhouseboutique. She has many incredible things. Very affordable.

This would look great in so many places in a home, although I would use more colorful ribbons.

This is from a Pottery Barn window display last year.

This is to die for!! I lifted this from the HGTV website.

Flickr, jodyrow. Love these. It's just foam balls with fabrics tucked into scored crevaces.

Not sure where I found this.

Rate My Space, wishingforacottage. LOVE this idea.

I think this came from Country Living.

romantichome.blogspot.com. How fabulous is this?!! You have to go see her holiday decorating.

Country Living, I think.

And last, because I have to go pack!

Please cross your fingers for me and send out a "good luck" tomorrow. I'm flying out to look at a house..................that I really want..................but I'm not the only one in the running. It just came up yesterday, and I get to see it tomorrow night, and the realtor is holding off making a decision until I get there. Cross those fingers hard!!!! If we get it, it means we can move back south finally!

Happy Decorating!
