Fle-attitude fills my patina needs

Fle-attitude recent finds:
Antique rusty hook board came from Lorraines.
Rusty handled wire baskets from Heidi's owner of acorn antiques
plus others I'll show how I've used them later.

Now enjoying them in MY creative work space at home!

I refinished the board by lightly sanding and adding a coat of medium walnut stain.
This piece is on a stair wall and needed to be useful. awesome. and narrow.

At Flea-attitude in Pleasant Grove
I ran into Renee Hull...funny thing, I was reading her story to my husband on the
drive down and tah.dah. there she was digging through someones "stuff!"

Imagine that!
she is a "stuff" digger
not unlike you and I.

You will absolutly love her workspace photo's and story in this new issue
Where women create
Love her Patina style

her quote:
"You are never to old to set another goal or to dream a new dream"

Her tip:

Try to see the beauty that others don't! Before you throw something out,
stop and take another look to see any potential you may have missed.
(oh dear, if you could see my garage of "POTENTIALS!")

love patina
always have
always will

Great job
Fle-attitude and Renee!
(thanks Lorraine and Heidi)

Now it's time to heal

Some weeks are just harder than others...aren't they?


Parental worries:

Our only daughter had major back surgery Monday
I swear I could feel every pain as I watched her
try to manage her pain and discomfort.
Oh how we hurt when our children hurt.


You go through these things too.


grandparent responsibilities:

Helping 4 grandchildren back and forth to school.
hospital visits. comforting. food. baths. bedtime. homework.
It took grandma AND grandpa...
and it was such a blessing for us to be a part of.

all of us juggling work schedules:

thankful to our son in law who slept every night
by her side, waiting on her every need,
giving her the best of care.
Showering her with 2 magnificent fresh bouquets.
Heavenly!

So glad it's the sunday AFTER and not the sunday BEFORE.

during this time:
Joni sat beside her weary mother, holding her sweet hand as she
was coming to the end of her beautiful life.
Joni, crying, was reading her Psalms 23


The world's favorite psalm:

The Lord is my Shepherd
I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures
He leadeth me beside the still waters
He restoreth my soul
He leadeth me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil
for thou art with me.
Thy rod and thy staff comfort me.
Though preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies.
thou annointest my head with oil
my cup runneth over
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life.
I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Joni's mother left this world to live with her
heavenly father, this morning. Sunday.

and then we had...

The Boston Marathon turning into a tragedy
bless all those who were affected

Glad this week is over

now it's time to heal

shopping on facebook

Do you do Facebook?
friend us: just a bed of roses
if so.
Many times we show
what is new in the shop.

I bought this the other day for my
side entry which is next to our kitchen,
which happens to be a lighter shade of
green than this.
 A 1920's ice box from Ward Co.
The purple bottles and granitware
too are from the same era.

Kara Elmore on facebook was selling it.
It's fun to have facebook friends,
hope you join us, let us know for a
10% discount on an item of your choice
next time you visit.
(unless it's already on sale).

This grouping is just across from the icebox,
the old Hendrix birdcage is from the same era also.
(my husband loves crocks)

Spring cleaning:
Our back room will be open again ( Friday
and through April) 
organized into 5 and 10 dollar boxes,
some one dollar.
Easter is on sale
among other things.

Architecture Styles of Italy - Implementing Decor Into Your Home

If you've ever been to Italy then without a shadow of a doubt you've not only fallen in love with the country, but the architecture too! The architecture in Italy is stunning and eye-catching, to say the least. From iron to brick, and other elements, architectural pieces that are either from Italy or are replicas from the country remind us of the enchanting country. All of these pieces also look beautiful in a home. If you're in need of some inspiration on what pieces to add to your home for the spring time, then look no further than some of these ideas mentioned below and images of Italy.

Once you can envision your home with similar elements, not only will you want to visit Italy to see it for yourself, but you'll want to stay at Tuscany villa rentals in Italy where you'll be able to experience this gorgeous architecture up close. Plus, you will have the desire to redecorate you home and find architectural pieces from Just a Bed of Roses (yes, we have them in our shop too), to decorate your interior conveniently.

{via}

{via}

Viewing brick and pillars in Italy will make you feel like you're a part of a grand piece of history. When you decorate your home with brick and other architectural pieces, you can bring Italy to your home. Arches and pillars are a great way to bring some Italian flair to your interiors. Place select pieces on your patio or in your garden depending upon the look you are trying to achieve. It will look outstanding! 

Authentic vintage pieces are usually just as affordable as reproduction pieces. Take a Saturday drive and explore the country roads, farmhouse sales, and local shops. There are also antique shows in Italy that you will want to experience as well. 
{via}

Remember that even though you may not be able to visit Italy right away, you can create a home that's Italy themed that will look beautiful. Make your garden space inviting and full of architectural pieces that catch your eye. Decorate your interior with vintage pieces that remind you of your travels. When the time is right, head to Italy yourself and enjoy staying at a romantic villa while exploring the countryside! You'll perhaps find some vintage pieces and more that you can bring home with you.
