I came across a new blog that i so far like called Curious Bird. This seemed like a fun idea, so i thought i would join in. It also gives me simple projects i can do quickly with my camera, Lord knows i need practice.

So, Todays color is PURPLE!! Yesterday was blue, and if i get ahead of myself i might go back in time and participate. I thought maybe i would give a history behind some of the pieces i put up as well.

This first piece is a piece of fairy artwork that I purchased at Yellow Daisy Arts and Crafts festival. I have three pieces from this artisan. I love her work. This is actually the third peice, i have. Unfortunately i cant find a link to her website at this moment.

On our First anniversary (dating) we went to Cedar Point. We both love rolller coasters and what a better way to spend a cold wet rainy/snowy weekend than riding roller coasters! When we got to the park, i realized that i didnt have a hair brush with me. There are no convience marts around the park, so we bought a brush IN the park. (cant say that didnt cost an arm and a leg).

My first Anniversary Gift..

When we moved out of the house, we got rid of all the excess furniture we had. We moved into a small (but nice) 2 bedroom apartment for about six months. When we moved back into the house, we had no furniture really. The couch we had brought with us to dayton was old, bulky and black Pleather.(can you say Bachelor!!)  I didnt want to bring it back, so i sold it for dirt cheap to some younge guys from our car forums. Found out it was thier first apartment, so i threw in some old dishes, and pots and pans that we didnt need/use. They were so excited they could surprise thier girlfriends with actuall dishes, instead of plastic wear they had been using.

Anywho, when we moved Home, DH said we could buy new furniture. So we bought a LOVELY purple couch set for the living room, and a huge U-shaped couch for the family room. The cats get more use out of it than we do, and its typiclly coverd in towls to keep kitty fur from ruining it.

Another apartment story. When we moved into the apartment, we knew with 5 animals, we had to keep the carpet looking brand new all the time. So with me working full time and paying for the apartment and Nathan working and still paying for the house, we wanted the best product out there to keeping carpet clean. Dyson was there waiting/begging me to buy it. So i did.

My Bathroom. My Oasis. Its totally girl’d out. I dig it. Purple and butterfies.
