Friday's Fave Five

 Hosted by Susanne!

1. I finally got my second shot of Moderna vaccine and my 2 week  quarantine  passed. So I  celebrated by shopping at Hobby Lobby recently.  I saw so many cute   things that I felt would really lift up my  sedate and rather  dark decor.. I love my Olde World  look, especially in fall and winter,  but come spring., I'm ready for a lift!!

First of all, I  love these two signs..  As I have been enjoying watching  vloggers who are living the "Simple Life",   that one really resonated with me.  I am so  very much inspired to  declutter more and more..

And I  love the wreath with Our Nest inscribed on it.. Those  leaves  just grabbed me. So  when I saw this table cloth at Bed Bath, and Beyond, I had to have it..  Uh, what was that about  decluttering

  Ok, I Promise to send two tablescloths to the  Good Will!

I, also, found that  darling charger  at Hobby Lobby and bought three of them.  The other  two are on our  small  sunporch table..  So springy.. I love them!!!

I  adore  the airiness of the lavendar I found at Hobby Lobby.  I, also, have som plans for  it in the sunroom!!

2.  The hutch also has a bit of a make-over.. I have had my pewter cups  packed away for years, and thought," Why? "  I like the  look of them  on the hutch   with my  sweet plates.  Now the beautiful vase was a pandemic birthday  presne tI found on my stoop last year from one of my prayer Sisters who has not darkened anyone's door since.  We all miss her so much.  But I simply ahd tot ake taht fiase off the top shelf and utilize it for it's  perfect green color!

3.  I am not sure  if I ever shared  about our new  car... We bought it the week before our beach trip., ans oh how amrelous  was our ride.  We seamed to  get there in a zip! Using Google music I spent hours  prior to the trip uploading all of our  beloved tunes. I mean I have enough tunes to  traverse   the US and back   listening to the music of our time!  A Subaru really is a magnificent auto.. We returned from SC   to Va  on a half of tank of gasoline!  I am mesmerized by that!!!  And the ride is   amazing!

4.  At  this time I am deep ion the throes of planning a special addition to our garden.   I am  hugely  enamored with the idea of a David Austen rose .. Especially this one

Exquisite little buds open to half-enclosed cups, eventually becoming wide, shallow, upward-facing cups of pleasing formality. The color begins as soft-apricot pink, gradually changing to pure soft pink over time. There is a lovely myrrh fragrance. It forms a bushy, yet upright shrub. So   this  gorgeous bush is rather prolific,  which I  love, I  want one of these  on which it can climb away!

As I said these  photos are my dream, and it is up to  Hubs to help make it come true... I'll be sure to share as the dream comes to pass!!!

5.  A pretty important way I have been spending my time lately is  reading and applying   this book..

Knowing how to apply God's battle plan asgainst the plans  and warfare of the enemy in our lives, our nation, our churhc, etc..   is  very important information for every Christian.  The time for   poutting warfare prayer  off til some future time has past.  We need to be taking part in  this battle now   and  this book offers key points for jsut how to apply  strategies in our everyday life..  Highy recommended!!!!!
