Playing House

That's what my hubby calls it

when I rearrange things in my home

 

Tonight I had a little time on my hands

so I decided to swap out two tables

 

Move my Singer Sewing Table

to the living room

 

and make a sitting area

(with my side table from the living area)

in the guest room

Cozy little corner of the guest room

 

My sewing table in the living area
I used an old window for the top

You don't have to go shopping
and spend money to
change things up in your home

SHOP WITH WHAT
YOU'VE GOT!!

I love changing up my nest!
 



Thoughtfulness

 This post is about my sweet friend Carol

We don't live close

but when we spend time together

I always get my socks blessed off!!

 

Here's a few words that define her:

Thoughtful

showing consideration for the needs of other people

 

"she was attentive and thoughtful"

"how very thoughtful of you!"   Caring displaying kindness and concern for others. "a caring and invaluable friend"   Loving feeling or showing love or great care.   She is always thinking of others.  I admire that so much about her.   She often surprises me with little gifts.  She'll say "Oh I thought of you when I saw this"    We spent time together over the holidays and again she surprised me with the sweetest, most thoughtful gift! A birdie towel with my special little blog saying She found this cute little towel and then embroidered it with a special message (Because she's oh so talented and an excellent seamstress) I love my thoughtful, caring friend Thanks Carol !     Every Little Birdie says 

2016 - A New Start and Some Changes

Happy New Year!!

The tree is down (finally), the decorations are put up.

We've celebrated the New Year with a bang!!

(Thanks to our dear friends, the Paonessa's,

who hosted a great party)

 New Year Resolutions have been made

(I start partnering with a neighbor
on a new exercise schedule tomorrow)

and yes, change is in the air......

After prayerful consideration I've decided
to close my booth @ Junktoria

Junktoria is a wonderful shop and I will miss all the great vendors and of course my customers!!

I found myself running in many different

directions in 2015 and to be honest

I began to lose my passion and joy

Towards the end of the year I attended a

Ladies Bible Study on Prayer. 

It caused me to slow down and

take time to really think about the things

I was pursuing in my life

I decided it was time to simplify 

You know the old saying

"Less is More"

I want to only do those things that

will make a real difference in my life

and the life of others

and I want to do it with a spirit of JOY!!

So for a while the Vintage Nest is taking a sabbatical

but I have no doubt that it will

resurface when the time is right

I will also be reflecting on my blog

What direction do I want to go in 2016

Do you ever feel like your posting just to be posting?

Sometimes I do

I love my readers and I so appreciate each of

you taking time to stop by and read my posts

My prayer is that I can share myself and my journey in life

in a way that is interesting, encouraging,

helpful, and FUN! 

LIFE IS A GIFT

THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT

THE PRESENT

Every Little Birdie says

Change can be a good thing!

What changes are you considering in 2016?
