White Wednesday

This is my first participation in a White Wednesday

and I thought I would show ya'll

something near and dear to my heart.

I made this bird nest and eggs

for the Twelve Days of Christmas

at [Redeemed] unique art.

I was asked to be the sixth day.

(What else would I be....being Six in One Hand...and all)

I think that the eggs are sooo precious

and sparkly.

I will be giving this little creation away

on December 6th.

(that's my day....)

So stop by, say hi, and leave some bloggy love

for a chance to win.

Take a tour and visit the other days as well.

There is some mind blowing talent there.

Have a great Wednesday!!!!

Let's Set the Record Straight...

I want to start off by saying

"Thank You"

to everyone who offered me get well soon sentiments.

I had a really bad day with my leg yesterday and was bed ridden.

APPARENTLY........

In my absence,

my sister decided to hijack my blog and tell about our giveaway.

So yessssss

The Six Sisters

are throwing a birthday giveaway!!!

Everything my sister told ya'll is true

with a few exceptions.

#1. I did not eat soap!!!!

(I preferred paste as a child...thank you much.)

#2. I didn't not almost burn down the whole house!!!!!!

(just the kitchen....I didn't know toast could catch on fire.)

Now....

with that little order of business out of the way,

I wanted to show ya'll a couple of things that I got

at Winnie and Talula's.

Do you see this awesome wreath that I made?

That's not what I bought.

See the red thingy holding on the door?

That's what I bought from Margo.

It's divine with it's red chippy paint and metal goodness.

I bought this lovely, rusty lady

as I was walking out the door and she whispered ever so softly,

"Hello."

It was love at first sight.

I snatched her up and threw her in the Divine Mr. M's arms.

I added another architectural piece I had and now she is the base

for an awesome cloche filled with candles and snow.

(more on that later this week.)

Also......

It has been brought to my attention that several of my junking buddies

and even fam

are having some AWESOME giveaways.

The other sister...my junking triplet

Anne of Fiona and Twig

is giving a $25 giftcard to Anthropologie!!!

How kewl is that??

I might actually have to put on some real clothes and go shopping

with that little number!

And new to the giveaway clan is

Troy of Junk Exchange.

I can't even begin to

tell you all of the supah dupah

Christmas goodies he is giving away

including

Hard

Cold

Cash!!!!

(That's the best goody of all!)

Please stop by and spread some Christmas cheer to these

awesome junkers.

Don't forget to welcome Troy to the giveaway fold.

Okay....now on to the not-so-happy part.

I'm going back to Houston tomorrow

for more tests on my leg.

I will be gone most of the day

but I will update you as soon as I get back...

and the narcotics wear off.

Party over here!!! It's our birthday ...Giveaway!!!!!!!!!

Shhhhh......

Don't tell Angelique......

This is Misty from Six Divided By Two.

Angelique is not feeling so hot today (keep her in your prayers) 

and well,... I just could not wait to tell you about ....

Our Birthday Giveaway!!!

Can you just feel the excitement?? I can..

(Angelique is doing her spazzy dance from her bed..She's excited too!)  

So in honor of our magnificent day

we are giving you the chance to win not one, not two, not even three..

but

SIX GIFTS !!!!

Angelique always refers to us as "Soap and Water"..

You cannot have one without the other..

Ha Ha!! (seriously I think she might have eaten a few bars when we were kids)

So we are giving all of the bloggy divas (and gents) a chance to win things that go together.

To complete the duet.. Visit Six Divided by Two.

Since Angelique is an undercover nerd...

(Truly, her Letterman jacket in high school was for ...

that's right ACADEMICS!!)

It should only be appropriate that the first gift be a

$25 Gift Card to Barnes and Noble

(And what book would not go great with some Starbucks? ) 

Angelique also has a passion for fire.

(She almost burned down our house when we were in 5th grade)

So here is gift #2

A Tyler Candle Company Candle!! 

(iTunes will help set the mood...)

 And last but not least..

  We both are full of spunk so gift #3 is 

A SURPRISE!!!!

Angelique will be there in full swing or at least at the bar with Mindy polishing off the rest of the eggnog!!

If This is Heaven....

Then God saw fit to move it to Athens, Texas.

The Divine Mr. M knew how bad I wanted to go

to Winnie and Tulula's Rememberance of Christmas

so he hog tied me and threw me in the truck.

Not really...I was already in the truck with the motor running yelling....

"Let's Go Alreadeeeeee!"

(all while honking the horn and waving my arms.)

Along the way there were two hitch hikers who seemed kinda friendly

mainly my sis

Six Divided by Two

and my niece, Morgan.

After five.....yes, I said five.....

long hours we arrived.

My mouth hit the floor when I walked in.

Nothing....and I mean NOTHING

could have prepared me for the beauty that was present.

I was drooling like I had a mouthful of novocaine.

My heart was skipping all kinds of beats.

I could barely move when I got inside...it was that spectacular ladies (and Troy .)

My very first beeline destination

was to see my fairy blog mother

and daddy.....

Cat Daddy that is!!!!!

Debbie and Cat Daddy of Talking Trash took my breath away!!!

Between the TO-DIE-FOR angel

and the smelling salts worthy dining room table

I felt weak....

My sis wanted to share my fairy blog parents...

UHHHH ...NO MAAA'M!!!!

Next to Talking Trash

was Curious Goods.

Her booth was divine.

 ( I really thought I was going to have to sit down.)

Of course the night wouldn't have been complete

if I didn't get to see Mindy

from Primitiques and Poetry.

Mindy never fails to shine

and that night her light was set to sparkle.

I finally had the honor and pleasure of meeting

Margo from Margo's Junking Journal.

I bought a great deal of items from her booth.

I have this thing for architectural salvage.

Bolts, springs, rust, and God help me

if there's a doorknob or a faucet around.

Margo had ALLL of that!!!!

It was a merry christmas indeed for meeeee!!!

The hostess with the mostess

was of course

Gloria from Sweet Pea.

Her custom bedding and finds are

simply exquisite.

I honestly don't have enough words to describe how awesome

this venue is.

Everyone sooo outdid themselves.

I fell in love with this look....

Keeping Christ in Christmas.

This daybed under this canopy of gentle branches

and soft lights stopped me dead in my tracks.

I literally caught myself going

"OOOOOOOHHHHHHH"

out loud.

I did hear snickers behind me.....

I didn't care.

I am sooo in love with this table.

Cat Daddy giving

the Divine Mr. M

some sage advice on being married to a junker.

On my christmas list...

Santa??????

Winnie and Talula's

wasn't simply a christmas open house.

Gloria and the other ladies raffled prizes

to raise money for the

Rescue Rabbit fund.

the Divine Mr. M became quite smitten

with this little lady.

We are discssing adopting her and bringing her into the fold.

Jewelry and junk....my favorite things.

This fine gentleman was our DJ for the evening.

He definitely kept the evening festive.

From blues to country to christmas....

the atmosphere was phenominal.

Theresa's window display was beautiful

and so serene.

I am in luuuuuurrrve with that mantle.

This tree was soo inspiring.

As the evening sky lost its rosy hue

and darkness settled in for the night,

the lights in Winnie and Talula's

continued to glimmer.

There was much laughter

(especially by Mindy....."Both of you?"....LOL)

and smiles.

In the midst of such beautful treasures and gorgeous finds

were even more beautiful friends

and wonderful family.

I was overjoyed to be amongst people

that I can call my friends

and to have made new friends as well.

As I left that night, I was happy.

Mr. M said that I slept all the way home....with a smile on my face.

On The First Day of Christmas.....

My true love gave to meeeeeeeeeeee!

A giveaway that was sooo neeeeeet!!!!

Noel from [ReDeemed] unique art

has asked me to be a guest blogger
