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.

Just Because....

I know it's been awhile since I've posted.

No one told me that when you put your house on the market
your life is OVER!
What I mean is, it takes OVER your life. You can't let a day
go by without organizing, sweeping or vacuuming,
when you've got cats, you've got to do it
EVERY DAY
because you'll see rounds balls of fur scurrying across your
floors, (did we get another cat?)
DID I NOT JUST SWIFF THESE FLOORS YESTERDAY!!??
So yes, I'm stressed, and frustrated and tired of people
walking through my house,
having to leave when they come, not knowing exactly when they will show up since they can't give you an exact time,
so they make it an hour.
Yes I'm whining, can't help it, I'm tired, and we dont' have kids
how do you do it with kids and toys and all that extra stuff?
My mom gave me this pretty and simple white valance with a lacy detail at the bottom and I think it is so sweet, so I put it in our
bathroom and I love it. It'll be the summer curtain.

I bought this sugar bowl a few years back and loved it. I used it
well, for sugar, until one day the lid broke and I was
so upset, I got it from an antiques store, not sure if it is
antique but either way, I thought it was sweet and I wanted to figure
out another way to use it, and,
Voila!
I can use it for my make-up brushes and it matches the bathroom
color so well.
Now I feel better.

  1. No fun. I can't imagine keeping a house show ready with pets and definitely not with kids!
    We're not even to that point yet, but I don't think I'll enjoy that part.

    Oh, and your sugar bowl is lovely! It looks like lusterware.

    Take care,
    Kimberly
