My Casa Bella

COME IN THE EVENING, OR COME IN THE MORNING;

COME WHEN YOU'RE LOOK'D FOR,

OR COME WITHOUT WARNING.

KISSES AND WELCOME YOU'LL FIND BEFORE YOU,

AND THE OFTENER YOU COME HERE

THE MORE I'LL ADORE YOU!

-Thomas Osbourne Davis



Welcome To My Casa Bella

My Casa Bella- means-my beautiful home- but it can mean so many other things. How you make your home a home. The sounds of children or pets playing. The aroma of scones in the oven or a lilac candle burning. The flowers blooming in your garden. The home grown vegetables ready to be picked. Grandma's quilt at the foot of the bed. A fire to curl up to with a good book. Or just a family spending time together with love, laughter and a good time.

How Peaceful



Hello, hope you're all well
out there
in blog world!
I've seened over and over
again
so many of you are taking
a break,
time for either working
in the yard,
time for family and vacations
or time
for
just
you!
That's what I've been doing.
Taking a break,
from
sewing,
blogging
and those
not so
important
things.
We've been busy
working
around the house,
gardening,
I'll post those later.
But I was
browsing online
and
came across
this lovely
living room on the
Better Homes & Gardens
website,
isn't it beautiful,
peaceful,
serene,
lovely,
fresh,
It makes me want to
redo my
living room.
Don't tell hubby
though....!
I'm ready for
fresh
and new.
I'd love to
recover my
furniture
and repaint.
We'll see.
Well, on another note,
how many
of you are on
Facebook?
I'm sure a ton of you
are.
I was on there yesterday
and found
something
EXTREMELY
disturbing.
Did you know there's Porn
on FB?!!
I found it by accident.
A friend
became a "Fan" of a page
for "Curvy Women"
and when I clicked
on that,
I couldn't believe
the pictures
posted.
They weren't Porn
but they were
borderline.
So I thought,
"could FB actually have Porn
on their site?"
"No way, they couldn't,
there are kids
on this site!"
Well, I checked and to my
SURPRISE
they sure do!
So, I had to shut my
account down.
Not comfortable being part of a
site that makes
this too
easily available.
And, you DO NOT have to
be a "Friend" or a
"Fan" to
view these pages,
they make it very EASY
to view
their "Wall Page".
So if you
have
kids
and their
a part of
these
Social Networks,
BEWARE!
Only you can
protect them!
Hope you have a lovely
day today!

  1. Spring does tend to be a very busy time around the house...gardening, organizing, spring cleaning, yard sales, etc.
    I LOVE that living room! The wall color is great (not too different from what I have now) and the fresh green print on the chair is gorgeous.

    Oh, and no, I'm not on facebook. Not sure how it even works. I'm techno-challenged. LOL

  4. Arlene dearest! It has been a long time since I have seen you, but as you mention here, you have been busy. Oh yes, "BUSY" is my middle name, indeed! Your dream living room is gorgeous, and I agree; PEACE is the word I want to come to mind when anyone comes into my home, and when I live in it! Colors of certain kinds evoke so much emotion, but I prefer muted colors. As you saw on my post however, this turquoise color in faint and sparse doses is doing it for me lately! Oh, and I stay away from FB...I have enough on my plate with blogging! Do come by again, it is so nice to see you! Good luck with the decorating project! Anita
