The 2009 Toile Party

Good Morning Everyone~ Today I am happy to be participating in the Toile Party of 2009. This lovely toile gala is being hosted by The Pretty Organizer at http://prettyorganizedpalace.blogspot.com/

I am just giddy with excitement because there are all kinds of ladies out there who love toile as much as I do! We are sharing our love of toile by showcasing our toile vignettes, toile-themed rooms, and whatever toile we may have.

So sit back, relax, {as much as one can relax when perusing all these romantic toile blogs}, and sip on a cup of coffee or tea in your favourite toile teacup or mug. It's going to be a wonderful day filled with romantic toile eye-candy!

These are my contributions ~

~ This is my Rose Chintz coffee set.

~ Some toile birdhouses above my kitchen cabinets. ~ Only the best for my chickens! They need some toile too! ~ Toile oven mitts.~ The patio doors in the dining room at Christmastime; toile curtains on the window and toile plates above.
~Red check chair pads.~ Some of my toile dishes displayed in the dining room.
~ This is the Den. I have bits of red toile in here and a blue toile umbrella stand.

~ Some of the blue in the guest room.

~ My green toile bathroom which is still a work in progress.

~ Toile in the living room too. A chocolate bunny under glass awaiting Easter. Hope he doesn't need replacing before that! I love chocolate too! *Smile*~ While I was getting my toile pictures together for this post, I received a lovely note from my Auntie P in New Brunswick. She sent it in this pretty toile card. I thought this was a good way to end my toile post.
May you all have a lovely day of Toile and I pray we don't suffer too much from toile withdrawl once this day is over! Please be sure to click on the Toile Party button at the top of my blog or click on the link at the top of this post to visit other toile lovelies. Enjoy your day & God bless you!

Blue Monday

Good morning everyone. I have hesitated for quite some time, to participate in Blue Monday because I don't have a lot of blue in my home. However, I do have a couple of blue rooms so I decided to take a look around. The more I looked, the more I found. So, here are a few of my blues for you today.

Hubby and I are into books in a big way! We have books all over the house. Almost in every room of the house, you will find books. Bibles, study books, dictionaries, novels, biographies, decorating books, ect, ect. However I have decided to limit pictures of books to this Devotional Bible for Couples and the stack of books that Hubby uses to study by. They are photographed on our navy 'blue' sofa in our den.
Yes, someone likes ice cream!

Some of you are going to wonder about me, but I have yet to put away my Christmas Village! It is still spread out along the ledge in our Family room, mainly because we like the soft glow of the mini lights. I plan to put it away this week. Honest!! One of the houses is 'blue,' so I decided to take a picture of it to show you. It has snow on the roof which I applied myself and you can see the sparkle from the light off the camera! Lastly, there is our provincial bird, the Blue Jay! {Sally, you'll like him!} I have this picture on my sidebar for interest's sake.
Well, there you have it! I'll see what I can come up with for next week. I probably have more 'blue' than I realize. Thank you Sally for hosting this fun event. Now go visit Sally and more 'Blue' folks by clicking on the link http://smilingsally.blogspot.com/ or the Blue Monday button on my sidebar. Have a nice day everyone!
