Vignette Greeting

Hope you are having 

a great weekend!

Update to my post: I just found out I won an FTD Mother's Day floral arrangement from Debbie @ Debbiedoo's blog that I entered to win recently!  

I'm so thrilled!  As I told Debbie if I won I'd be sending 

these to my Mom for Mother's Day.  

She will be 90 this August!   

 Thank-you again Debbie, 

FTD and Better Homes and Gardens!

 My vignette on the half wall by the kitchen-

It greets us as we come in the back door! 
This is a new look for my half wall.

The two bottle candle are from 
Milkhouse Creamy 
and the top one is called "Barn Dance" 

Seemed to be a good fit!

I found my rooster in a closet. It

had been forgotten about so I 

resurrected it!  

 My tv is on an articulating arm and we swing it to see
it from the kitchen table or I turn it towards me when I'm 
cooking. I wish this counter was clutter free all the time, 
but it's a great landing spot for mail and everything else!

We will be working all weekend.  We 

rented a power washer to clean

our deck and garage floor.  We have to get 

ahead of the plants around the deck so

they aren't ruined with this activity.

All we need are a few warm days to get 

some staining done now!   

Tulips are blooming in Michigan!

 May is a beautiful time here!

The Lilacs and Crab Apples are

blooming too! 

 Hope your weekend is grand!
I'm joining Between Naps on the Porch
for Metamorphosis Monday
and 
A Stroll Thru Life for
Table Top Tuesday 

Smell-a-licious!

I came across a new candle company

 called Milkhouse Candles with the most 

delicious scented frangrances! 

 I'm a geek for buying scented candles but this one  initially attracted me because of the adorable milk bottle shape it came in! 

(Do any of you remember getting milk at school in bottles shaped like this?

I do and I also remember when the moved off to the paper ones and I knew even then that something unique had been taken away)

These candles are soy based infused with natural beeswax, cotton wicks (no lead) and true fragrances.

I copied this from their web site:

 If you have allergies or know someone with allergies and environmental sensitivities, then you are in the right place. Milkhouse Candle Creamery's rich blend of natural soy wax and pure beeswax is so pure, a whole new world of home fragrance has been opened for people everywhere who have been unable to burn candles in their homes!

(I am not being compensated, I'm just enthusiastic about this product)

I'm impressed with the different glass and crockery styled candle holders they offer.  You not only get a great fragrance but a usable product in the end!

While looking on their web site to see if there was a closer store to where I live to buy their product, I discovered their Facebook page.  Then I discovered a give-a-way that I wanted to share!

 Hanging off the Wire- Milkhouse Giveaway 

The giveaway item is a $50 value!

I wish you could scratch and sniff my picture-

it smells so good!  

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy smells to you!!
