Maybe because the weather is so nice.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I bought my carolers in West Virginia at least 20 years ago. They were simple boards with painted faces. Throughout the year, I look for new outfits for them. The boy with the snowflake sweater was the first one I dressed and he still has his original outfit. Maybe I will concentrate on finding him something different in 2020. There's something about that sweater that I like!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I am lucky that there is a huge holly tree laden with red berries just a few feet from my front steps and I have English box woods across the front of my house.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I start with faux wreaths and garlands and stuff them natural cuttings. I also like to use variegated holly.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Good Morning!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to restart my blog this morning. Starting today, I will be sharing not-so-exciting events in my life which consists of entertaining my three corgis and decorating my house. I have missed it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Today it is going to be around 65 degrees in central VA. I am going to take advantage of the warm weather and spray some shelves for my rented space in a local antique mall.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you have time to see the movie about Fred Rogers during the holidays, I would highly recommend it! I have always had so much respect for him and this film confirmed all the good things I have thought about him.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It may take a while for me to get organized and remember how to maintain my blog but I hope you will bear with me!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I never bid on on-line auctions but last week I decided to try it. The lot I bid on was pictured as an open drawer with several nondescript pieces of linen hanging out of it. I won with an $8 bid. Much to my surprise, when I went to pick up my winnings it was a large box of linens. About half of it I couldn't use but two of the prettiest items were this beautiful tablecloth and a needlepoint bell pull. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Perl was born in Florida one year ago today. I had no idea that she would become part of my life and bring me so much joy. In my search for a Cardigan puppy, several pieces of the puzzle fit together and she became my puppy! I established quite a friendship with her breeder during the time I was waiting for her to get old enough to make the long ride to VA. Sadly, her breeder passed suddenly soon after I got Perl and I still miss her. We communicated often about Perl's growth and her shenanigans!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've think there must be a beaver in Perl's family tree. She has chewed so much furniture and I can never catch her. She also has destroyed numerous electrical cords. She is definitely my last puppy but in spite of all the destruction, I love her so much. She makes me laugh everyday.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you'll enjoy seeing pictures of my redecorated guest room. This has been a fun project and I'm thrilled with the way it turned out. My painter is a retired high school teacher and does a fantastic job. She's slowly painting my natural woodwork white in each room and I can't believe how much difference it makes. My wonderful friend helped me choose the paint color. It is called Rosewater.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My corgi girls are doing so well. Bonnie has adjusted perfectly since she came to live with us in the summer. She is a super sweet girl and so well mannered. Perl, well that's a different story. She's wild and determined. </span><span style="font-size: large;">She will be a year old in December. Miss Heidi is a quiet old lady who takes lots of naps and doesn't like to be bothered by the younger girls! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I am excited to have new friends and readers of my blog and this giveaway has been fun! Karen Mertens and I have so many similar interests and one of them is collecting buttons. When I drew her name this morning, it didn't take long to pick out a selection of old and new buttons for her from my collection. Notice the button card on the top. It sold for 10 cents! In addition to the buttons, I'm sending her a vintage handkerchief and a wire bird's nest pendant that I made. Karen, please send me your mailing address by email.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A few weeks we welcomed Bonnie to our family. She is a two year old brindle Cardigan corgi. I wasn't looking for another corgi but things just seemed to happen and before I knew it she was my new bed partner. She is a perfect addition to our family! She loves Perl and they have so much fun playing together. That relieves me and Miss Heidi (two old ladies) of the responsibility of entertaining Perl all day. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My old shoes have thrived this summer because of all the rain. The moss voluntarily came up on them and there's even a maple tree growing out of the one on the left.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The first thing I want to share with you is an oil painting that I found when visiting my sister this past weekend. It is dated 1988 and is done by a Virginia artist. If you have been reading my blog for a while, you will know I love yard sales! The name of the painting is "Miss Lucy's Yard Sale". I had just the right frame for it and it's hanging in my sewing room. It makes me smile whenever I look at it.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">My house was built in 1984 and I have lived in it for twenty-six years. For almost that long, I have wanted to paint the stained woodwork that is in every room. Painting is one of my least favorite projects and I am not good at it. A few weeks ago I found out about a retired teacher who paints, is reasonable and does a great job. She painted my dining room last week and it is beautiful. The color is <i>Teardrop</i> by Valspar.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We are anxiously awaiting spring at my house. Perl has been on </span><span style="font-size: large;">the deck watching for it this morning. This is her third week with us and Miss Heidi and I love her! Everyday she makes me laugh and brings me so much joy.

I have finally been able to keep my hands off Perl for </span><u style="font-size: x-large;">short</u><span style="font-size: large;"> periods of time and get some chores done.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Perl arrived last Saturday and this has been the most amazing week! I have had so much fun just holding her, taking naps with her and laughing at her cute little antics. She's doing great with her potting training but we're having some issues with sleeping in her crate at night. Her vet says she has "separation anxiety" and I am suffering from the same issue. I can't wait to get up in the morning and take her out of her crate. She and Miss Heidi have adjusted very well to each and Heidi even plays with her occasionally</span><span style="font-size: large;">. For the first few days, she ignored her completely but she's coming around.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We've had extremely cold weather and snow this week but next week is supposed to be more "springlike". It will be so nice to get outside with the corgi girls.</span></div>

I am getting a Cardigan Welsh corgi. She is a very light blue merle and the breeder thinks she's going to have those beautiful blue eyes that some merles have. I </span><span style="font-size: large;"> have named her "Perl" which is the Welsh spelling of the name Pearl.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Heidi is a senior girl (she is six months younger than Hanna) and our house is too still and quiet. I'll probably be writing in a couple months "what was wrong with a still and quiet house". But for now, I am so excited!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Having to let Hanna go to the bridge was my saddest memory. Heidi and are are adjusting nicely and spending lots of quality time together. I am so thankful for her! I don't plan to add another corgi as long as I have Heidi. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't know about you, but I'd like to fast forward to spring now. I planted about forty tulips last year and can't wait to see them blooming. January and February are always long and dismal to me. I didn't read much in 2014 but I hope to in the next few months. If you have any suggestions of "good reads", please forward them to me.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Last Thursday, with the help of my wonderful vet, my Hanna went to the bridge. She suffered from complications of Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) and was in constant pain that couldn't be controlled by medication. Her corgi sister, Heidi, and I miss her terribly. She was six months old when Heidi came to live with us and they were always best buddies. She was my first corgi and my "heart dog."</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">A friend I met through my blog crocheted this 4 1/2 feet tall witch. Her name is Trixie and she's for sale in Bonnie's space in an antique shop in Roanoke. Isn't she the cutest witch ever? I would have a had time parting with her.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've been working on projects for my shop. I found this cute dressing table at GW for $10. It was mess (wish I had taken a before and after pic), lots of crayon marks, stickers and scotch tape all over it. I cleaned it and spray painted it with a color that I love and use often (Jade). Getting an oval mirror cut for it was expensive even with me taking a piece of mirror to the glass shop. Lesson learned, don't take on projects with oval mirrors. Square or </span><span style="font-size: large;">rectangular cuts are much less expensive.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">If you've read my blog for a while, you'll remember a few years ago I had to rehome my beautiful fluffy corgi, Arabelle, because of fighting issues. Well, tonight I am so excited! Arabelle and her new mom are coming for a visit tomorrow. It doesn't matter how much time passes between visits, I always feel like she remembers me. She has a wonderful home and a family who adores her.</span><br />
