Too Quiet ~

My

little sweetie

again...

trying on paw paws old glasses~

The above photo was taken

before

she did this ~

{does this look like a guilty face or what?? lol } "show grandma your hands Annika"...

" did you do that ? "

yes

{at least she is very honest...hee hee}

Oh boy...

I knew it was just

too quiet

when I thought she was playing

so I said,

"Annika"...{no response}

"Annika"...{again no response}

I thought to myself

this is not good.

I did some investigating and found

my little princess

using my green gardening lotion as her

toy of the moment.

She thought it was soap and was

trying to wash her hands.

She had flung it

everywhere.

On the white shower curtain, on the walls, the

toilet, the toilet paper, the sink, the floor.

I would have not taken this so well years ago

if one of my kids had done this,

but I have learned that life is too

short even at the longest so I pretty much

just take it all in stride now.

Have a lovely day and

enjoy the little things.

Blessings~

My Quaint Little Bathroom ~

Okay fellow bloggers...are you ready for this??? I know most people don't show their bathrooms, but I worked a little in mine yesterday and I thought *WHY NOT* so here we go...

First let me confess that our house was built in the late 1800's and some of the old wiring and old walls and definitely old LONG windows are still in place. Initially when we purchased this house and acreage in 1982 we had grand ideas of renovating big time, but through years of layoffs and pay cuts and being a one income family that just has not happened and truthfully it probably never will. That being said I am very content in my humble abode (most of the time) until we have to shell out big bucks for heat in the winter or something needs repaired for the fourth time..lol

This is my TEENY TINY bathroom...the only one in the house and I love it. I measured it today and from wall to wall it is only 5 feet 4 inches (I think I am about that tall...I should have just laid down and measured...LOL) x 6 feet 10 inches. We raised three kids in this tiny bath and they actually survived (and even thrived!)

This wall is straight across from the wall with the sink and commode on (that sounds much better than the *T* word don't you think) To the right of this picture I do have a double closet with shelves (and doors) that holds a lot of towels , cleaners etc. ~

Love my vintage towel with a *B* monogram~ Pretties on my stand...not sure what I want in the bowl yet so just stuck the candle in there for picture taking ~

This is what I did yesterday. I had a vintage pink and black stool in here, but I went upstairs and hauled down this little stand and I think I just love it in here! I try to think outside the box when decorating. This is technically a nightstand from Kmart's baby line. I purchased it for $20 or so when it was on clearance and I knew I would find a place for it. Initially it was upstairs at the top of the stairs, but something else will have to go there now.

A PARIS hook on my tiny closet door holding my white PJ's ~

Love this mirror...I have a thing for mirrors. If I find one I love and it is cheap I will buy it no matter that I already have many, many mirrors in this house already! LOL ~

This area is right off to the left as you come in the door. The only dark piece of wood I have in here is the vanity that hubby made a few years ago...now I wish it was painted, but oh well. It will do just fine. Do you see the little vintage light pink match holder above the commode? I put Q-tips in that and love it~

My *caddy* on the back of the commode~

LOVE this light fixture ~

You know me...I gotta throw a pop of color in somewhere every now and then. Depends on my mood if the towel matches everything else or if it is a pink polka dot one ~

I hope I didn't scare you too much by showing you *THE ROOM*. I love fixing up my house and moving things around for a new look. The color of the walls is *Summer linen*...the same color I just repainted my back porch/laundry room. I am hung up on this color. Have a joyful day filled with doing things that you love. Blessings~
