I realize that Christmas lights and trees often go up just minutes after Thanksgiving passes but in my cottage there is no rush to move the pumpkins out the door just yet. If I do put up a tree I do it closer to Christmas eve, and I leave it up through Jan when it's lights brighten up short winter days. No rush on my part to jump into the next Hallmark holiday. I am going to linger in this Fall décor awhile longer. I no longer invite one drop of holiday stress into my life. Been there, done that. Holiday commercialism drives me bonkers-no thanks.</p></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIgucJLfYwNgGJ1YlCM22UnZk-nFCfCnC5YRWSd8rCoZi_VSTYRYCCdBNHBnBrOl5CK9v0fErqq73OebVjjTkD03LFunlDRJXkcy2bFj-q4AGKFErv7scTYd2Vo4GJukzvakHugwvvLz4/s5152/DSC02792.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3864" data-original-width="5152" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIgucJLfYwNgGJ1YlCM22UnZk-nFCfCnC5YRWSd8rCoZi_VSTYRYCCdBNHBnBrOl5CK9v0fErqq73OebVjjTkD03LFunlDRJXkcy2bFj-q4AGKFErv7scTYd2Vo4GJukzvakHugwvvLz4/w400-h300/DSC02792.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">I have to admit it's been unusually hard for me to get back into the swing of decorating my little vintage farmhouse. Normally I enjoy fluffing up my home especially with the change of the seasons. Not inspired in that way these days. The crumbling state of our world definitely sends me down bunny trails. But GOD!!! I trust in HIM and my only hope is in GOD and HIS word which tells us clearly of things to come. While, the rapid pace of world events should be no surprise to believers it sill feels stressful to me. I often think of those old radio broadcasts that were interrupt by "this is only a test" message. But this unfortunately is our new realty. I have watched strong Christian friends completely come unraveled in this time. Fighting off spiritual attacks as well as living in this evil and very corrupt world is taking a toll on so many. It is a good vs evil battle for sure. Yet, we are to endure to the end.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7v-N-xPRslH-AG80mV7nmuQbFFuoAyQKFxgqW2I3aLfbB9XLfH2QKbaTHIiWkTX-a6le052aQ_SukZNfWfI7utmm9obZVG7JYsWsaRQWpsYaajdKbXYXq_7sjlyxMyQU-TLJ3COugPjE/s5152/DSC02796.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5152" data-original-width="3864" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7v-N-xPRslH-AG80mV7nmuQbFFuoAyQKFxgqW2I3aLfbB9XLfH2QKbaTHIiWkTX-a6le052aQ_SukZNfWfI7utmm9obZVG7JYsWsaRQWpsYaajdKbXYXq_7sjlyxMyQU-TLJ3COugPjE/w300-h400/DSC02796.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"> I have been involved in peaceful protesting at schoolboard meetings as well as health department meetings and have been out and about on the streets with props and signs to give voice to my free speech rights while there is still time. My days of protests on the UC Berkeley campus for different reasons back in the days have come alive again. Even though I am not a mom, I stand against grammar school children being FORCED to wear face diapers and eventually being forced into taking un constitutional experimental FDA (mafia) toxic clot shots jabbed into their little bodies. I'm for CHOICE and against the far reaching destructive government mandates. I watch Dan Bongino and he talks about it being time for mass civil disobedience NOW and I could not agree with him any more. That is what I am passionate about these days, not so much my home décor. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfDTOoNYLvAO4NAfC-Yb9lEi_MEVMebwtBOmWuiVqIeV2OY6WQr6EYFFmqIymc-SoCpZbWqQcemCBoWWzQmUfuNQh_o7mMX4FHp2ieH35_z4-bAUaCp6yrezGoVPt-jxr3zZpBNzOaD3c/s5152/DSC02791.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5152" data-original-width="3864" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfDTOoNYLvAO4NAfC-Yb9lEi_MEVMebwtBOmWuiVqIeV2OY6WQr6EYFFmqIymc-SoCpZbWqQcemCBoWWzQmUfuNQh_o7mMX4FHp2ieH35_z4-bAUaCp6yrezGoVPt-jxr3zZpBNzOaD3c/w480-h640/DSC02791.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: center;">My home is a place to relax, recharge and most importantly a place to retreat and hide out in the privacy that I so relish. So recently I <strike>pushed </strike>convinced myself to decorate this Fall to create a different inside vibe. I used my white and green colored faux pumpkins and also some gray and white checked fabric ones this year. Of course lots of candles to help create relaxing evenings at home.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3whSFU4aOrX3_hztSHhe_TiNc8P1XsJCM1DpyHs_1eMmzZutncR7ohY59GNzZ2BbGIzoUrucjTp24wXydzKLpwxi1ihUZ4esXMeSR5STbwzAyLQigNduBy1aIM0_veqNIcJcCLUSrAPM/s5152/DSC02778.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3864" data-original-width="5152" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3whSFU4aOrX3_hztSHhe_TiNc8P1XsJCM1DpyHs_1eMmzZutncR7ohY59GNzZ2BbGIzoUrucjTp24wXydzKLpwxi1ihUZ4esXMeSR5STbwzAyLQigNduBy1aIM0_veqNIcJcCLUSrAPM/w640-h480/DSC02778.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I am definitely a non traditionalist when it comes to holidays, perhaps some of that has to do with so many dysfunctional 'family of origin' holiday memories, combined with my effort to not get caught up in commercialism. Now, I embrace and yearn for a quiet, private day to myself when Thanks-giving and Christmas roll around. Being an introvert and also a loner I normally dodge holiday invites in order to retreat and relax with my beloved dogs, add in a good read or movie all in the comfort of my own cozy home, ahhh perfect day!!!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"> I don't eat turkey and so I am just not into sitting around a table eating bread out of a dead birds butt. Hey- just being real. Smile. The only dish I like on a traditional Thanksgiving menu is candied yams or mashed potatoes- no gravy please. That is it. I don't want to see a dead bird, hate stuffing, cranberries and pumpkin pie no matter how I try to fake it. I am done accepting thoughtful invites and wondering how I can go un-noticed for only eating potatoes. Awkward! Am I the only one who just isn't into all that kind of holiday food? It's stressful to me to be interrogated at a holiday dinner. I do remember the time I truly enjoyed a Thanksgiving meal and it was Swedish style. Salmon, no turkey, seasoned rice, no stuffing, a beautiful green salad, fresh veggies not killed and hidden under mushroom soup and yep no pumpkin pie. YUMMY !!!. Now that was a delicious Thanksgiving meal to remember IMO. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9mj9nTaZHGZfnb2GQL0JOKgVV5qlaOAOM0Cd3NPkRwDRftEM5PmuWFC-f7fRkijGQDZHN7aJ9f3lvgqEYsGmI9gy04zNsBeIBdrIArQZxOeMc9WdXaRTlRbycDsHXg0FOxSLbiArYpkw/s5152/DSC02782.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5152" data-original-width="3864" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9mj9nTaZHGZfnb2GQL0JOKgVV5qlaOAOM0Cd3NPkRwDRftEM5PmuWFC-f7fRkijGQDZHN7aJ9f3lvgqEYsGmI9gy04zNsBeIBdrIArQZxOeMc9WdXaRTlRbycDsHXg0FOxSLbiArYpkw/w480-h640/DSC02782.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I made delish, Organic, killer tacos topped with mango salsa for Thanksgiving dinner. Later in the day I was gifted with white chocolate dipped strawberries and a huge box of chocolates which consisted of chocolate dipped marshmallow squares, chocolate dipped peanut butter balls, Chocolate dipped mint Oreo's and much more. Who needs a boy friend? LOL. A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle. Just sayin. Okay- I soon need to get back to my 'no refined sugar' lifestyle but for now I am off the wagon and indulging in all that delivered to my door sweet, sweet goodness. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtji-e8Jru7BTHN-Oxx6cI11ihiIXcnDopHXQDlbRYVVpkQmY0gk54NKnUCVF3pT7Ba8ktnFtJ-kNx-FDXRkweH0LxxzZkU-5bYAeDvK-bT_CLOOBAuTmoMwT2PjESm4sP0M_INdqiPVY/s5152/DSC02784.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5152" data-original-width="3864" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtji-e8Jru7BTHN-Oxx6cI11ihiIXcnDopHXQDlbRYVVpkQmY0gk54NKnUCVF3pT7Ba8ktnFtJ-kNx-FDXRkweH0LxxzZkU-5bYAeDvK-bT_CLOOBAuTmoMwT2PjESm4sP0M_INdqiPVY/w480-h640/DSC02784.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"> Oh yeah, my fav self invented hot drink that I named ' Puerto Rican Hot Apple Pie' is wonderful on chilly Fall and Winter nights.

Sprinkle lots of cinnamon on top The best ever Fall and Winter Hot drink for chilly nights.

It's hard out here. Stay strong and realize there are 3 types of people in this world. Sheep, Wolves and Sheepdogs. Many are weary trying to wake the sheeple and there comes a time that you will have to leave the sheep and perhaps wake the other lions and dwell in the pride. You woke ones will understand exactly what I am saying. God bless the sheep, God bless the Sheepdogs. Stay strong, stay alert. </p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Again and always- remember it is never to late to create a happy childhood. It sure seems harder these days to do that but little by little. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Happy holidays and Blessings to y'all.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Scroll down to the comment section if you care to share.

</p><p class="MsoNormal"> With heavy heart I am back to say this -<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> A close friend and Virus researcher
has kept meticulous notes & statistics since the beginning of this Chinese PLANdemic and she has been most helpful to me in guiding me to
additional wellness products for the season we are in. We are NO longer free
people in America we do not have free speech any longer nor access to health products that work,
against the plan of the elite and we are heavily censored, and the day
is coming when the fake vaccination police will knock on your door.
BEWARE and hopefully be locked and loaded as well as prepped.<br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> My heart goes out to those
whose numbers are in the tens of thousands now who have died, become
paralyzed, have weakened their immune system and are VERY sick, many of whom with no insurance to cover a non FDA approved drug. All directly
related to the jab that they believed was for their own good. This
grieves us deeply. This post is dedicated to Deb in appreciation of her long hours of study and research and detailed and diligent record keeping. Thank You from the bottom of
my heart - You are SO appreciated. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Also- this post is in memory of the victims of this pretend vaccine. The ones no news dare to report on, the voices that have been silenced, except for deep searching and video viewing of their stories before most are banned, and taken down. It is sickening that the victims of the BIO WEAPON JAB are being silenced. I am SO SORRY.<br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Copy and paste the below link for a short video that you won't see on the daily news lieworks. <br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"> https://rumble.com/vkmlux-in-memoriam-victims-of-covid-19-vaccines.html <br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Here are the supplements that 5 Holistic doctors use
themselves to keep their immune system functioning at its best in these trying
times. Should you feel symptoms of ill health and especially if you work close to, live with or
socialize near bio weapon <span style="background: red none repeat scroll 0% 0%; mso-highlight: red;">(JABBED!!!!)</span>
people, yes- that is right- many after watching rapid health declines in those jabbed are concerned about bio weapon shedding from those
who are <span style="background: red none repeat scroll 0% 0%; mso-highlight: red;">JABBED.</span> We
want to strengthen our immune system in holistic and dietary ways. The below
supplements are what many concerned people use as well as the Holistic doctors themselves as seen in the below video. Sorry- not able to link it for you to click it here as as Blogger only lets videos uploaded from my computer or those censored ones from youtube to be uploaded on this blogger platform. Just copy and paste in your search engine before it is taken down by the internet police.<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">https://medicalkidnap.com/2021/05/28/5-holistic-doctors-discuss-what-they-are-doing-to-protect-themselves-from-the-bioweapon-shots-and-transmission/<br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To be very clear - I am not a health care practitioner and I
do not make any recommendations about what may or may not work for anyone’s
immune system or health. The below supplements are only part of my Holistic wellness
pantry along with herbal tinctures, homeopathic remedies, and essential oils.
Also- a healthy diet filled with fresh Organic (when possible) veggies and
fruit and fresh purified water (NOT water from a plastic bottle) are great
choices for supporting an immune system and overall thriving vs surviving. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In a quest for a good trustworthy supplement brand I am
happy with the Now Foods brand which I have used for many years as part of my
wellness regimen. Do your own research and buy what works best for your health
needs and concerns.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I did a price comparison for each supplement listed below with
no brand substitutes at <a href="http://www.VitaCost.com">www.VitaCost.com</a>
as well as Amazon. I chose to order from Vita Cost and here’s why. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Combined with a 15% discount, 20% discount If
you are new to Vita Cost and place a first time order, I saved over $19.00
going with Vita Cost and also got FREE shipping, like Amazon members get. No
membership fee at Vita Cost. Keep in mind prices may change at any time and I am
not affiliated with any brand or company in this post, nor do I have any discount
codes to offer you. And really- I am thrilled to not be supporting any trips to
the moon for those connected to Amazon. On second thought maybe I should of
paid more and help support his trip back to the moon in hopes he would stay there.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">About the below list - I am in no way affiliated with the
below brands and or companies listed, nor do I receive any incentives or money
from them. I am sharing my personal current supplement list for this season of
my life and having been inspired by the 5 Holistic doctors video. Link to that is above.<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"> If I feel that I am getting sick I will immediately use 1200 mg of the NAC everyday for 3 days and then 1200 mg 2x a day for 3 days Then 1200 mg 1x a day for 2 weeks. I will use Magnesium 500 mg 1x a day during that time if and when needed. I will also double up on all supplements. Not for everyone- do your research this is not advice , my protocol only. YOUR BODY YOUR CHOICE.<br /></p>

Thanks to those of you who have checked in on me. Yep, I pull the cord on my computer more often these days. No more emailing, and as always no cell phone ownership for me, as I work to keep it simple over here in my corner of the world. Taking much needed time to ponder life, and to regroup.</p><p style="text-align: center;"> Daily, I look out my cottage windows and often think - nah...I will just stay inside today. Certainly not because of the Chinese Flu Plan demic- just because I am an introvert and relish my quiet time. I am also very sick of seeing folks in face diapers out there as I try to not even look at others wearing them. I have never worn one, never will. My body, my choice. My right to choose. All that being said from a pro-lifer. <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I just can't put up photos today of cute little bunnies, colored eggs and spring decor and say safe fluffy things although I am currently surrounded by sweet spring decor and lots of those cutie pie things gals like to see. I have my moments and am not in the mood to pretend all is cozy and perfect in these crazy times. I am a with a heavy heart at this time. Feeling sad for America, us patriots and God fearing folks - those concerns seem to currently overshadow the seemingly insignificant little things I do to add cheer to my little farmhouse cottage.<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Thinking recently about how back in 2016 liberal snowflakes and other assorted whiners were comforted and consoled by puppies and coloring books at major Universities after Trump was elected. Wondering where I can now go to get pampered and surrounded by puppies, coloring books, flowers, chocolates, comfort foods and of course free Kleenex, and the pampering that was lavished on whining morons in 2016. Oh wait, ah yeah, I need to be a student of diversity, a red diaper doper baby on a college campus to receive that special treatment. Oh,,, and of course as a conservative I am disqualified from receiving that kind of care and attention. No such thing as equal opportunity for this girl.<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I am beyond sick of the liberal intolerance and their cancel culture, hating and blaming of white men for all of America's ill's, everyone owes me, self entitlement mentality as they desire to rule over the rest of us and go along in life convinced of their moral superiority and self righteous belief system. They pretend to be diverse as they preach tolerance while constantly striving to suppress and cancel any ideas that challenge their own. These toxic narrow minded commu-natzi rug rats don't get their way and then they melt down and scream and riot as they wallow in their own nasty dirty diapers. We don't always get our own way. Just look at the current presidential steal and then installment of the current political leaders. But conservatives again suck it up. Free speech no longer allowed and as you know if you are breathing, were being censored on all platforms to keep us from communicating without struggle and in an attempt to keep us from organizing and rising up to the occasion. <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I continue to shake my head in disbelief and daily wondering what country I am living in. I used to worry about weapons of mass destruction, now I understand they live among us. The libs, who's narrative is mass destruction of America as we patriots used to know it. Socialist libtards who prefer to bathe in cultural and political rot and decay and who's narrative is mass destruction to a peaceful American way of life. The speed at which America is rotting is astonishing and sickening, to me.<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">So yeah, some days it just feels like to dam much to deal with. I know many feel the same way. Praying many long hrs here asking God to help us patriots meander life's path in this time of American political tragedy and especially this rigged and fraudulent election and installment of Joe. Being honest and transparent here. No apologies. This is a SAFE SPACE for CONSERVATIVES and patriots. I use my free speech gladly. And if one day this blog goes away due to some snowflake being offended so be it. We are being censored at every single turn, along with witnessing our 1st and 2nd amendments being blatantly attacked.<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Did God abandon HIS praying remnant? Those of us who are of no political party but ones who vote for those we see as more closely lined up with biblical morals and family values? Oh yeah, God is on the thrown, not me. Oh would I love to help God out with some earth duties. Sigh. Dear God, we heirs of salvation continue to cry out for the healing and welfare of America. And like the song lyrics go - All I know is I am not home yet, this is not where I belong, take this world and give me Jesus. Look that song up on Youtube, it's my fav. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Another heavy on my heart is the mass of folks who are taking a jabbing or injecting ones body with mystery fluid, a seem to me kind of fear response syndrome now going on on a world level. Yeah, I can't take on the world but I can say that I am sickened and I mean really sickened over the line up of family members and very close friends who have succumb to fear and signed up and lined up for the jabbing of the mystery serum called a vaccine. It is everyone's personal choice - I get that. Their body, their choice. But what I don't get is with all the cell phone use (not me) and with access to information before it is taken down about the dangers and threats to wellness and even to life. why are folks just lined up like sheeple for the injection? Yes there is an internet information blackout and vaccine reaction blackout all across the world when it comes to the dangers surrounding that Covid vax. One has to search, read, hunt and yet it seems most rather be on Insta ham, Space book, Flitter and believe the alphabet soup news net works ...such as ABC, NBC, CNN-communist news network, FOX and so forth, for their most often bias and lying information source. </p><p style="text-align: center;">After being jabbed with the secret sauce a friend of mine had instant inflammation in her breast and arm that BTW this is all to common after the secret mystery sauce enters your body and it can show up as cancer or mass on an MRI or mammogram. The man package full of inflammation is also a side effect of the jab. Another person I know got sick for many days after the sauce entered her body and she could not work for days after and felt horrible pain in her body which flared up her arthritis, yet she is in line for her 2nd jab and has this time planned to take days off or work to prepare for more sick time. Another friend had Covid just a few months ago but doctors told her she needed the jab of secret sauce anyway. Go figure. Does anyone think about testing for antibodies before they go for the jab? </p><p style="text-align: center;">Then another tragedy that literally made me cry - My close friends older hubby has COPD, (smoked 40 yrs) heart and many other health issues, a mass on his lungs and he is currently being treated with radiation for a cancerous mass. Yet, the doctors who PRACTICE on him insisted he get the jabbing. My God, anyone heard of a simple antibody test? He has had lingering Covid and side effects of it (they say) for many months but still the doctors continue to PRACTICE and decided to suppress his immune system even more by convincing him of his need for the Covid jab. All this while there is a great need to boost his immune system to help his body receive radiation. Obviously these PRACTICING white coats DO NOT understand that with vaccines it is COMMON for those who are elderly, frail and / or with underlying disease to have their ill health aggravated by common adverse reactions OFTEN leading to death. </p><p style="text-align: center;"> OMG- And these same dear friends could research, dig deep, get off FB and social media and instead equip their minds to make educated choices instead of following the sheeple and abiding by suggestions of those who PRACTICE. I am sickened and saddened by the blind trust extended to those who administer the jabs. Seriously-can you actually trust our government? All this in light of Bill Gates who desires depopulation. </p><p style="text-align: center;"> I am begging you readers to at least go into the line of sheep with knowledge of the DEATHS, and disabilities caused by or related to adverse reactions that may be temporal or permanent or worse yet - deadly. The CDC government website has a list of Covid vaccine reactions and deaths. The info on that site is on a VOLUNTARY only basis. So much goes un reported about the reactions of this Covid jabbing. I find that if you don't wear a white coat then you can not easily point your friends to learn about the problems associated with Covid jabbing. And I am talking about educated folks who rather choose what alphabet soup fake media is filling their heads with than taking time to research, think, make a educated decision not based on fear and constant fake news.</p><p style="text-align: center;">.
</p><p>How long will the world continue going along with this plan before
they wake up, perhaps too late for many, to realize that Big Pharma is
in the business of selling treatments and drugs to manage diseases, and
not actually curing people, because that is a terrible business model
when you eliminate your repeat customers by curing them?</p>

Really? I suppose some believe anything they hear.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Very interesting side note here - My Anti vaccine board on Pinterest was completely deleted this past summer, just in time for the current Chinese PLANdemic injection plan. I had hundreds of pins on the dangers of all types of vaccines. GONE, completely deleted by the communists at Pinterest that fear you and I might learn something and decide to not be in bed with big pharma. Nope, if you have knowledge you will be powerful.

I get it, I really do. We all need an escape from heavy topics and the heavy days of our lives but I chose this trail today in hopes that someone will read and make an informed choice about being jabbed with a mystery fluid. And this post might be toooo much for you but this is how I roll. I don't often write political posts nor a non political one like this.... but the day and time we live in is completely insane, and it is often hard for me to come here and not really share the deeper issues facing us these days. This information may save someone's life. Just maybe?<br /></p><p>This and that all aside I finally took down my Christmas Tree. Yeah, figured since it's finally trying to be Spring that it needed to go. As hard as I tried to pretend this political climate was all a big nightmare I had not yet woken from and hoping it was still Dec 2020, it did not work. Can I hit the rewind button please? God's got this I know.. but along the way on those really long hard to understand type of days it seems hard to remember that. The joy of the Lord is my strength and I must dwell on that daily to make it with a smile on my face. Some days better than others. </p><p>I am taking my own advice today - "Remember, It is never too late to have a happy childhood". </p><p>Blessings to y'all. </p><p>T.<br /></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p>Tonita http://www.blogger.com/profile/11495976337458455805noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4188523315107673889.post-32665437216418168212021-01-03T09:19:00.009-08:002021-04-10T14:25:19.307-07:00STOP THE STEAL<p> Yes this is one of those porch pondering type of posts. Well, kinda- It is a lil chilly outside here in these mountains to sit on the porch for any length of time. It was beautiful sunny weather in the 60's yesterday, but to me that is not porch dwelling weather. Any whooo- I know so many conservatives feel down and discouraged these days. God has this folks- HE is not worried and HE is still on the thrown. However, I firmly believe that born again Christians have dropped the ball in doing our part in this fight of good vs evil and of what is currently playing out in the political world. </p><p>If you stopped by today to see a tiny house photo or holiday decor sorry to disappoint, please skip over to a fluffy house blog now instead of reading any further as you will find none of that here today. I never am looking for or concerned with pleasing everyone who is here. I am true to myself and while I sincerely hope the best for all readers I refuse to tickle anyone's ears to keep visitors to my blog. <br /></p><p>The church as a whole is so put off with President Trumps language and non perfect behavior or at how he tweets or says something that they find offensive that they forget what God has done in their own lives. No man or woman is perfect and God only uses the screwed up and flawed people like you and me all through the bible. Get over it. Jesus did not run for President. <br /></p><p>The church in it's effort to be so politically correct and not offend anyone has watered down the gospel time and time again. Sweet and well meaning Christians that have conservative family and pro life values have been so sweet that they have exchanged a soft answer, and turned many cheeks instead of taking a stand against baby murder and many other things they know are seriously against God's word. It is sickening that churches are bound up from preaching the truth because they are 5013c which limits their free speech. I would love to see churches free from the bondage that 5013c government status that limits and legally binds what is preached from the pulpit. <br /></p><p>I am sickened that one by one free speech is being banned and removed from Twitter, FB, IG and so many other social platforms. We need to wake up as this is a time for Spiritual Warfare. What can we do right NOW? Pray and fast. I have entered into a 21 day water fast as I pray for our nation. Tuesday is the big day. THIS TUESDAY. Please join me in prayer and if you feel lead to fast, please do. This is important for our country and for those of you who have children and grand children. Here is a small prayer list for today if you care to make a difference in this battle of good vs evil.<br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Pray that Jan 6th will be the day when the steal of votes in many States which is criminal fraud will be exposed.</p><p> Pray that Vice President Pence will have COURAGE and NOT certify this fraudulent and rigged election.</p><p>Pray that all inferior and dishonest advice from Pence's attorneys will not reach or influence him.. <br /></p><p>Pray that illegal electors will be disregarded</p><p>Pray for strength, courage and wisdom for the 140 in the House who are stepping forward to contest this rigged election. Pray that more (ALL) senators will come forward and make a stand against this rigged Presidential election.</p><p>Pray for the current senate race going on in GA. <br /></p><p>Most of lifelong republicans are in bed with big money and are self serving and need to be removed from office. Unfortunately the swamp is still over flowing with scumbags. Yep- I said that.<br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I do not have a pet sitter or I would be at the Trump rally this Wed in DC. Our President has requested that patriots come out for this very important rally event. this Wed Jan 6th from 10-5pm. You can read more about it it at <a href="www.wildprotes.com">www.wildprotest.com</a> or <a href="www.TrumpMarch.com">www.TrumpMarch.com</a> . I will be on my way to the Trump rally in GA tomorrow afternoon/eve. If any of you attend either rally I would love for you to do a guest post on my blog. </p><p> Below is a great video about the current voter fraud in GA that is very easy to understand and it is not to long. You researcher types who are the politically woke folk should not miss this one. You will never ever find this on the daily communist news shows. <br /></p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IKiyAy9vjrk" width="320" youtube-src-id="IKiyAy9vjrk"></iframe></div>UPDATE 4-10-21, Came back to ck and see it the above link had been taken down. Yep. Conservatives are now being silenced. RISE UP FOLKS - ORGANIZE AND RISE UP. <br /><br /><p></p><p> </p><p>For those who would appreciate some daily encouragement and prayer you will appreciate the video below.

Y'all know I ramble. I don't own a cell phone and today is the first day I have plugged in my
computer in weeks. This post is a way to let folks and family know I am still
alive over here in the mountains and all is well. If you are trying
to call me..sorry- home phone currently is on "off" mode. I will resurface again at a later date.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK3iRvAOo1W3ei4vmdrwOvjoMyjZi3QLeUyi-y67k6w7Et6CNhuzSPrGgkgevngJCTpgfY83NEb3kspj_MNrCuX6GZnLqKUxiCH0uKJ9LR6AZn84jsQwxA0YFTXtYhqo_O-aWL3Yhowgo/s5152/DSC02405.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5152" data-original-width="3864" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK3iRvAOo1W3ei4vmdrwOvjoMyjZi3QLeUyi-y67k6w7Et6CNhuzSPrGgkgevngJCTpgfY83NEb3kspj_MNrCuX6GZnLqKUxiCH0uKJ9LR6AZn84jsQwxA0YFTXtYhqo_O-aWL3Yhowgo/w480-h640/DSC02405.JPG" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My only real pumpkin - I prefer the faux ones as to not replace them each year<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Amazingly beautiful warm weather and pleasant gentle breezes are currently undressing the trees in the woods and on the mountains that surround my tiny farmhouse. This is my least favorite season of the year because it leaves me seriously missing my favorite summer season and many 'never hot enough' but still beautiful bright blue sky summer days. Having lived in CA for 38 years and then WA state for many more years and Alaska for three years, I would not trade one day here in the Appalachian mountains for a day back on the West coast or Alaska. However, I would pick Alaska over the previous states I lived in before NC. It's been over five years since I planted roots here in Western NC and I have not one regret. It is not the place for everyone, but for me, it is perfect. I love it here for now. <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8XOBIQAjaqS4zC-9jhTE7iljBr8NxyMa8HE3qz6EHjmDRpLqrZxS8CpRewDSAqLYtAq2h78mWrjktKfk9swM1iqQncG8-dSA3drp3CIo2cRepnFvcQP82MKld8krpi_UbYQQ8YiMs-F0/s5152/DSC02402.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5152" data-original-width="3864" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8XOBIQAjaqS4zC-9jhTE7iljBr8NxyMa8HE3qz6EHjmDRpLqrZxS8CpRewDSAqLYtAq2h78mWrjktKfk9swM1iqQncG8-dSA3drp3CIo2cRepnFvcQP82MKld8krpi_UbYQQ8YiMs-F0/w480-h640/DSC02402.JPG" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My farm charm cottage covered porch<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7bdXLNKqjKZjre8IwQv7o7Kr7wxlX2YMm4hfkkrwl_9A0ygtfYA8wsdnNlWGoaQsWWyv83JecaBRKb8rcACla1NdGsiuVMOJYMg9YkIZAuoA9spUbmmaogzUbHK-R6KeppKq43R7lCg8/s5152/DSC02394.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3864" data-original-width="5152" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7bdXLNKqjKZjre8IwQv7o7Kr7wxlX2YMm4hfkkrwl_9A0ygtfYA8wsdnNlWGoaQsWWyv83JecaBRKb8rcACla1NdGsiuVMOJYMg9YkIZAuoA9spUbmmaogzUbHK-R6KeppKq43R7lCg8/w640-h480/DSC02394.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Open shelving invites easy seasonal changes<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Years ago I used to yearn for a covered porch and while shopping online only for my farmhouse it was on my list of "must haves". Praise God, HE he gave me the desires of my heart. Currently, I am enjoying the solitude of my covered sleeping porch, be it in the day or the night hours of the best Fall ever. I am an introvert and a happy and content loner, so I am making the most of the beautiful, sunny, warm Fall weather and hiding out for my much needed days in solitude. I am thoroughly enjoying these warm lazy days alone (except for my fur children) on my sleeping porch, while sipping fresh mulled hot apple cider or Turmeric tea, and enjoying good eats and reads. </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfDj9rHSIA3i8uBNyHgkiOfU8T6ppq5Yh4ppc3iUeh_wNckS0WJiqEaQYcizNJVTT7jAWv3X9irjWoMbZQhgGP1A5zJDcadBmu-w5Ra54UdTRVCTnbsQKpfacv1MTu2WrHC_c2lc6k1eE/s5152/DSC02409.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5152" data-original-width="3864" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfDj9rHSIA3i8uBNyHgkiOfU8T6ppq5Yh4ppc3iUeh_wNckS0WJiqEaQYcizNJVTT7jAWv3X9irjWoMbZQhgGP1A5zJDcadBmu-w5Ra54UdTRVCTnbsQKpfacv1MTu2WrHC_c2lc6k1eE/w480-h640/DSC02409.JPG" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My covered porch and uncovered deck and patio area</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">All through the summer months I have had a slew of friends, neighbors and acquaintances stop in to visit and often share a meal or drinks. It is just a Southern Hospitality kind of thing to do (chat and visit and entertain) and I am trying hard to get used to it and be better at it. It is not always easy to share my time or home with others as I prefer to be alone for the most part. But, I know God has something to say about this all, so... well - I try to listen and open my home and share time with others, even when it's not my first choice or always easy for me to do. I do thank God for the nice folks I have met here in the mountains and a few of them are near and dear to my heart, and they understand my need for down or alone time. To them, I say Thank You for understanding.<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMALlKI0afuLlAfMHly8VrnADD0cZCoYFLtjOAFaTus544u7oHxqdrIqLPv2UScmWrwbBfbBDlu1Nxr83rPbfXuGcAtGpuxoo9s2DRzdtDYpT75cmKkDb1th6S8xPBoC5DWGFyof8ueNA/s5152/DSC02413.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3864" data-original-width="5152" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMALlKI0afuLlAfMHly8VrnADD0cZCoYFLtjOAFaTus544u7oHxqdrIqLPv2UScmWrwbBfbBDlu1Nxr83rPbfXuGcAtGpuxoo9s2DRzdtDYpT75cmKkDb1th6S8xPBoC5DWGFyof8ueNA/w640-h480/DSC02413.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> Cottage garden and cafe is the vibe here.

I dab or spray peppermint essential oil on the comforter to repel mice and it works really well. Y'all know I love to decorate so this wrought iron shelf works great for me to switch things out as the whim strikes me. I use lots vintage saucers and cups on the shelves and around my patio and on the fence to add pops of color. I purchased pillow covers to change out the accent pillows with the seasons. The covers don't take up much space which is super important in tiny or small homes.

Have you ever wondered why you are drawn to certain colors, home goods or decorating styles? What inspired you to start collecting a certain item? Was it a childhood memory, a special person or? What feeling do those things evoke deep inside you?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I gravitate towards items that remind me of years gone by. What about you? I use colors, art and items that create an invitation to a feeling of calm. I mix in odd or quirky things that make me smile. I don't care about current home trends or the paint color of the year. They are just selling paint and promoting consumerism that fades away with each new trend. I especially like to use things in my farmhouse cottage that make my heart sing and / or remind me of biblical truths.</div>

My home is by no means a fashion statement but it is a perfectly imperfect sweet spot where I dwell on this earth for time being. I am grateful and blessed yet just like one of my favorite songs proclaims - All I know is, I'm not home yet and this is not where I belong. If you want to know what I mean by that statement listen to this short song video clip below.<br /></div>

<b>In the meantime.....</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b> </b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm drawn to many forms, sizes and textures of certain items in particular. Some of the smaller home decor items that capture my attention can be seen throughout my little cottage. My mini collections include hearts, vintage keys, sheep, pigs, bunnies, birds, nests and crowns. Tea cups, old quilts and galvanized watering cans can be found on my covered porches. This post will zero in (at some point) on crowns.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also have a thing for old chippy painted doors and windows, for well over three decades. I collected them long before they were a desirable 'must have' in today farmhouse style. I love that my old farmhouse still has most of the original wavy glass panes still intact. Let my eyes spot old fret work, or vintage porch columns, and I swoon over such treasures. Cast iron sinks, rusty items that tell a story..Yes please. You can probably tell that I would much rather spend a day at a salvage yard than take an all expense paid shopping trip to a mall. That says it all. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Living in a tiny 570' farmhouse has helped me to walk away from some amazing deals, and curb my appetite to posses more things. I have a 'one item in, five items out' rule for myself. At this season in life I'm satisfied with all that I'm in charge over. I need nothing more. I am looking at things differently these days and I am tired of the make it, break it, buy it, use it, toss it circle of consumerism, of which I have been partaking of for way to long. Maybe this is a phase and maybe not? I have zero desire, nor a plan to become a minimalist, I've just reached a point where I no longer desire to purchase nor posses any more STUFF. </div>

That all being expressed (cause ya all know I need to do that).... I will move forward with sharing some photos found online as well as some of the crowns that pop up here and there and there and there and there...in my little farmhouse. One of the reasons I like crowns is because they remind me of just<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> who I am. Especially on those days where the enemy works hard to try and make me forget just who I am. I hope these photos will encourage you to remember who's you are if you are a believer in JESUS.

Finally Spring is here, well maybe? It's trying to show up here and there and maybe everywhere? I feel confused and have heard that even the little birds seem confused about the season were currently in. Can we just move right into summer please? That would be fine for me as I am yearning for full on sunny warm, no- I mean HOT days. This past winter was a very long, cold and rainy season here in the beautiful Appalachian mountains, sigh.

things pile up for days, weeks, okay...* I will tell the truth here and shame the devil*.... months or even years? Yeah, I said it- 'years'. Spring
cleaning of those emotional messes can create benefits for both our home as well as our emotions. IMO- cleaning out the inner self and letting go of things that don't serve me today is even more important .You know - the parts of you one doesn't ever read about on the blog, or the YOUtube videos, or on your InstaHAM account or the posts shared on Flitter or even on your posts on Spacebook. Cleaning your emotional state between your ears as well as all the negative self chatter will give you opportunity to grow into a happier you. Now is just as good a time as any to open that door and face the
mess. Taking stock of what’s
working and what’s not will help you move forward with an emotional
Spring cleaning.<br /></div>

If you don't have any inner mess to consider, then just skip this post, and enjoy the flower photos and well... be blessed and thanks for visiting here. Back to cleaning those inner messes we often hide in the back corners of our emotional closets so no one will find them. What is in there anyway? Perhaps some negative emotions, attitudes and
residue of
left over dirt from unhealed toxic relationships or family of origin experiences? Or maybe just little things
that hold us back in our lives from being our best selves, can pile up
in our an emotional closets, just as they do in our homes. Those
emotional stacks that we avoid or are ashamed of because we want others
to approve of us. You know,
those hidden places that we allow few if any others to see let alone
enter. That 'catch all nook or space where we store things that we
don't know what to do with at the moment.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg80TGbLT8lnNQT8WVdUOT3wlGh10JR9Z8egY9BIL7x-88flgaEh9VstfOZBHk1C8E0IqGcDpjBE2_pFD-hXbynpfSGxwCetcq05_EYr2fodmlrUIyzQxoAzait0rE4viFzlliEQ4eVZnw/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2176" data-original-width="3264" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg80TGbLT8lnNQT8WVdUOT3wlGh10JR9Z8egY9BIL7x-88flgaEh9VstfOZBHk1C8E0IqGcDpjBE2_pFD-hXbynpfSGxwCetcq05_EYr2fodmlrUIyzQxoAzait0rE4viFzlliEQ4eVZnw/w640-h426/DSC08560.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I am by no means a gardener, so I'm so happy this Lilly lived after I planted it. <br /></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: center;">Along

<b>Tips for an emotional Spring Cleaning.</b><br />
<br />
Taking stock of what’s
working and what’s not will help you move forward if you care to participate in an emotional
Spring cleaning. Past upsets
that manifest in anger, jealousy, hatred,
sadness and more all can end up being stuffed inside our mental closets
or basements when we don't face and deal with them. They won't go away
any faster than any other mess if not purposely sorted and sifted
through. Not fun but necessary in order to have a clean house and to be
emotionally healthier which leads to feeling better both emotionally and physically. Dis-ease (Disease) is ill-health and is often connected to unresolved issues birthed in toxic life experiences that manifest in the body.<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Take notice of what is dragging you down. I find that keeping a journal is a good way to help bring these things to light as well as sort out and get present to feelings. Pay attention to negative thoughts and emotions and especially negative self talk that takes up brain space. You know- those things we nurse and rehearse, those things that could be cleaned out and replaced with positive fulfilling thoughts. Go through that emotional closet. IF you don't love it and it doesn't serve you, dump it. Imagine one of those hoarding shows where a dumpster is placed in front of your home to get rid of everything that doesn't serve you well. DUMP IT. <br />
<br />
Toxic relationships current or from the past need to be trashed if you find any left over residue taking up space in your life.<br />
<br />
Emotions such as self criticism, guilt and shame are all USELESS and should be thrown out. When negative self talk, or stinking thinking messages try to creep back into your emotional space from anyone or any direction - remember you can consciously choose to throw them out and give no place to them in your life. It is a choice. Chose to honor yourself.<br />
<br />
Sort through and recognize unrealistic expectations you place on yourself. Those go into the dumpster also. No use donating them to local thrift shops. They are of no benefit to anyone. They are worthless.<br />
<br />
<br />
.Holding grudges?- purpose to let them go as they only hold you as a slave to them, living in bondage. Toss out pessimism, by speaking or writing out a new possibility to replace those negative memories, lies or pessimistic made up self talk.<br />
<br />
<br />
When you do this type of cleaning it will consist of you experiencing some new feelings. Some might surprise you. Let yourself feel them fully and take time to honor yourself at this time. Be aware of your feelings and don't minimize them Write in private or public, scream, yell, cry and know it is a process. This may take more than the Spring season and in some cases years to accomplish. SO WORTH IT. You do not have to remain stuck in the feelings. IT is just a choice.<br />
<br />
Consider sorting through messy feelings part of your emotional spring cleaning. During this type of cleaning I get through it with prayer. Not all things can just easily be thrown out as we wish them to be, but God can heal our hearts and work forgiveness through us and turn ashes into beauty if only we invite that of Him. HE cares about your heart, and every situation in your life. Involve HIM.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
On a different note - For way to many years I<span> stayed over scheduled and busy in my professional life as well as my personal life. I see this same trait in people every single day. It is if out culture rewards the busiest people. Like the one with the most stuff to do in a day wins. NOT. What I learned about myself is that part of me staying busy every waking second helped me mask my pain and avoid my inner personal growth work. I just placed no value in being still. I was afraid not to have a plan, For when I was still my thoughts drifted to the messy areas in my personal life. Those areas went untouched and they felt dirty so I kept busy to avoid looking at and dealing with them. I didn't know how to relax or quiet my busy mind. <br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span>I used to be the perfect Co-Dependent. Before a lot of self discovery, self help and recovery type of personal healing work I was a much bigger hot mess. In the past, not without great cost to me. I over scheduled,and over extended my life and gave so much of me away that I lost a huge part of me and ended up that I eventually did not recognize whom I had become. I was angry and sad. One day while watching Joyce Meyer ministries It changed my life in this area. She explained that she had the same "Yes" syndrome as I once did and she said that instead of being an automatic <br />"yes", when presented with an invitations, requests and offers or, a call to help or a response to those who need you say this instead -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span>"Let me pray about it and I will get back to you" I can not express how this simple change in my life and way of responding to requests of help and requests for much to much of my time freed me up to give me time to pray and seek God and then respond, instead of being an automatic "yes" to all those around me who requested anything they needed of me. No more living in regret of over scheduling, over extending and helping out of guilt and later regret .I now take time to seek God first and make better choices that I feel at peace with.<br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span>When I was a child my mother was a neat freak, and kept what I consider to be a perfect house. Everything was sparkling clean, dust and spot free, ironed, everything at all times in its place and perfect looking both on the inside and out. Yet, there was complete chaos in our home behind closed doors. I think my mothers efforts to keep an immaculate home and be a great cook and baker on days she was not drinking was her way to not deal with her pain which she tried to kill with alcohol abuse and years of binge drinking. Later when I was twenty- one years old her many years of alcohol abuse killed her and the house was not so pretend perfect anymore. <br /></span></div>
<span><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span>Years later, many years later I find that doing home cleaning on the inside of me is much more important than what one's house looks like. Don't get me wrong.. I love a clean home, but a clean home does not define me. It seems in vogue these days to "be busy" all the time. To have a never ending flow of projects lined up to tackle. <br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span>Since moving to the mountains I have settled into myself more than at any other time in my life. I have learned to be a human being instead of a human doing. My life has slowed down to a ridiculous pace, compared to days of past when my life was similar to a hamster on crack running on a wheel for 16 plus hours a day non stop day in, day out. Life is better these days, even when I sit on my porch and sip Kombucha and try to talk myself into embracing the gray hair that is growing in faster than I can pluck out. But- in a good way life is different. As a home owner there is always upkeep and work to do both on the property as well as the interior of my Farm Charm Cottage. I suspect there will always be inner work to do also. It doesn't always get me excited but I love the end results.</span><span></span><span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> My flower garden needs serious help. I did not inherit any gardening genes or skills. Thank goodness I don't depend on my gardening skills as a food source. I am going to continue to work on it and see if I can get better results in coming weeks or months. Just like personal growth work, a garden takes an investment of time, weed pulling, hard work, patience and love. Then one day you realize all the dirt you sifted and weeds you cleared away and the areas you fertilized produced flowers and finally made way for something healthy and beautiful. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqUJY2QY-72HAIy9hk7__ldUzg6d7Pt1v1wnza6e7trP-CRx5ubB39vcZ0oIgI0uwuA8dl9B7-s60kIa9JcqE2e_rNVdl1CXonfMJ4Bl55ameDekskIfTNwrARUN75b7iwMhaJ3OyP5Dc/s1600/DSC01464.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></div>

<header>Wow, how the world has changed since my last post. How does a gal post about her farmhouse or Spring decor and not mention the elephant in the room, Not one to be politically correct I can say that this Kung flu virus is a sobering game changer for the human race and most recently a tiger who tested positive for the Chinese virus. What does social distancing look like for a tiger? I've got that part down pat as I started social distancing when most if not all dems lost their minds and their self control this past Presidential election. Can you imagine what America would look like had Killary won? I imagine some feathers are already ruffled. Welcome back to my blog where I exercise free speech and oh yeah, I talk about God also. Politics and God...I have always disliked small talk. </header><header> </header><br />

<header>While the Kung Flu pandemic invites, panic, fear, stress, anxiety and depression there is a different side of the Kung Flu virus. I am living fearless in the face of it because of knowing and walking in Gods favor. Knowing that should I fall victim to that virus God is faithful to heal, either in this life or life hereafter. </header></div>

<header>First off, as an entrepreneur my business is now shut down. Money is not growing on the Dogwood tree outside my kitchen window just yet I'm sympathetic to those in financial trouble due to lost businesses, lost jobs and income of all sorts. . Fear, worry, doubt, stress, anxiety, depression, ill health and even loss of life are all real experiences many are facing or in the midst of. Yet, in the middle of this biological and viral warfare I am thankful and for the most part still joyful. I am not ashamed to say that the JOY of the LORD is my strength and that I have not had a sleepless night because of this biological Kung Flu warfare. I am part of a supernatural not natural present time and a future so I have decided to Fear Not even though all things in the world and on the news point towards fear, despair, doom and gloom. There is so much uncertainty but one thing I know for sure is that when God brings you to nothing HE is up to something. This is no surprise to God and He's got this. We can easily get off course asking so many questions.. Why this and why that. I know that road...it leads to stress most often. I have exchanged the "Why's" for - I declares. I use Gods promises found in the bible and declare them over my life daily, in order to experience the Joy of the Lord. </header></div>

<header>Yesterday, on my way home from a farmers market where I bought fresh garden veggies I stopped by a friends house. She recently lost her day job as well as her income from her Air BnB rental. She pointed towards the chicken coop she just finished building for her new chicks. She will be planting a veggie garden tomorrow in an effort to have some fresh food this spring. She smiled at me and said " God just set the reset button and I can't wait to see what HE does". I said "Amen sista and gave her a (OMG) hug before heading home. She has a mortgage, and no income, yet she is excited to see what God will do.Living on the edge... with total trust in God. Exciting times.</header></div>

We talked about how in spite of the current world events our God is wonderful and worthy to be praised. We shared how we both have no fear for our own lives coming to an end because we are assured of everlasting life after leaving earth, and it only gets better according to God's word.</header></div>

He responded to her " Diane, when have we not stood on the word of God? Stir up your faith". A couple of days latter he went home. His last sermon was - "STIR UP YOUR FAITH". His funeral was a celebration of life and most importantly eternal life. Diane misses him immensely but continues to live full of hope and full of joy which overshadows-the pain of loosing her best friend and husband. </header></div>

<header> I know many disagree with me, that is okay- but I believe this Chinese virus was unleashed on purpose to test the reduction of the worlds population. The after math of fear will drive thousands to line up for vaccinations. I would not ever consider getting vaxed for love nor money.

<header>I do not have my head in the sand here and I am saddened that so many lives have been lost both in America and around the world. I can only hope that folks will be stirred and disrupted enough to get woke, to pray, to consider how blessed and favored we are in America and to be Thankful. IMO -This is a wake up call to all. Who will answer the call in these sobering times? To think folks are more concerned about their butts and not running out of toilet paper than they care about their souls. Folks upset at the thought of running out of toilet paper or upset because of the current low meat inventory. Seriously? Could it be time to repent and perhaps time to reset our mindset, and check our eternal life Insurance plan?</header></div>

[For Abraham, human reason for] hope being gone, hoped in faith that
he should become the father of many nations, as he had been promised, So
[numberless] shall your descendants be. He did not weaken in faith when
he considered the impotence of his own body, which was as good
as dead because he was about a hundred years old, or [when he
considered] the barrenness of Sarah’s womb. No unbelief or
distrust made him waver (doubtingly question) concerning the promise of
God, but he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and
glory to God, fully satisfied and assured that God was able and mighty
to keep His word and to do what He had promised….</div>

Today, (seriously)... I remembered I have a blog. Yeah, I know,, crazy - right? You probably wonder
how someone can actually forget that she has a blog, but yes, I actually have not thought about blogging in months, until I got some snail mail from a friend. Don't be concerned, it is not that my mind is slipping it's that I haven't had much interaction with my computer over the past
several months. Y'all know I am a low tech girl. I see it as a good thing, for myself anyway. If the
grid went down, I would be just fine and not miss a beat.<br />

Chilly darker and shorter days of winter give way to more time curling up near the fireplace and appreciating the opportunity to be still. Yes, I guess that comes with being more mature or in other words (older). Mature sounds so much better...don't cha think? I didn't slow down and chill out when I was younger. I was always a hyper active kid and considered myself a human doing instead of a human being. I only truly relaxed when I was alone, with animals or in nature. I feel blessed to have never experienced being lonely. As a child of God I realize I am NEVER alone. <br />

Tiny white lights are covered with white garland to give a faux snow effect. I enjoy the sparkle of light they give off and quite often leave them on during the darker days of winter. Snow flakes are on my trees and hanging from my chandelier as well as in my windows. I have always loved snowflakes.<br />

Decorating the farmhouse with Christmas lights and trees makes the winter months more enjoyable.. The twelve days of Christmas ended this past
Sunday but I intend to leave my decorations up through this month of
January. By now you must have figured out that I totally march to my own
drummer. It is not like the decor police will come a knocking on my
door. <br />

I really like these farmhouse window grids. They can be a pain to wash and dust but the fact that I can decorate each little sill over rules the washing and up keep part. The charm and cute factor over rules practical IMO. Maybe in 20 years I will change my tune on that. Sometimes I use cafe curtains or vintage dish towels on the lower half. Old chippy ceiling tin makes a great awning. I took apart an old chandy to create crystal fringe for the awnings. Not the norm, 'I know' but again this is how I roll. <br />

If you have visited here before and read any of my posts you know I tend to go on rants about technology on a pretty regular basis. So many people get upset and irritated with me because they are SO used to being in instant contact with everyone else they know. I am out of their loop because for the most part, I'm a technology rebel.. One of the few who has never sent a text and who does not use a cell phone. Heck, I don't even use, or carry a purse. I would have no idea what to put in it. And for the life of me I don't know why I would carry a tiny computer (phone) on my body to be in constant communication with anyone, not even a significant other. Hey, It works for me just fine and life is good this way in my humble opinion. Don't ask others though, they get irritated with my choices.<br />

The past few weeks of cold chilly weather as well as more gray days than I like have given me flash backs to my life in WA State. YUCK... Some love it there and thrive, but for me the PNW.... not so much, actually not at all. I so dislike dark gray dripping drizzle days and am forever thankful that we only have a couple gray days in a row before we have sun breaks, Bright blue sunny winter days brighten my spirit. They are much needed for a gal who gets SAD (Seasonal affect disorder).<br />

I recently had lunch with a freind and she told me that I am in big denial of a sunny, simple lifestyle. That is my motto to help me keep on track for a peaceful life. She lovingly tells me I have way too much stuff and well, I probably do. All right I DO have to much stuff in my little home. I just get so bored with looking at the same old same old and like to change things out now and again. However some things are in place for many years to come due to the size and layout of my little farmhouse. I mean where else can I put my sofa or the kitchen table? I am limited here but the feel of being mortgage free vs having a big home to shuffle things around works out much better for me.<br />
<br />
<br />
My friend has a beautiful farmhouse and prefers a minimalist home style. She tells me that I "romance the ordinary". A cute way of defining my style. I rescue what others toss out and add a new touch to re purpose many items. I have in my farmhouse cottage.<br />

Did you make any New Years Resolutions? I didn't officially make any but I do hope to be warrior like in my 5 to 1 rule. For every new thing I buy for my home 5 things have to be donated. This self imposed rule worked pretty well last year. I am so very thankful that my friends are finally on board with not sending me stuff that adds clutter to my home and stress to my life. I have more than I need..<br />

Dual or multi purpose items work great for tiny or small space living. I do not think you have to give up changing out decor or completely restrict your desire to decorate your small home for different seasons. I bought this little truck and it was originally yellow. I spray painted it white and I have used it for so many things. I have used it as a candy dish (before I removed refined sugar from my diet). I have used it in my bathroom to hold guest soaps. I have used it on my porch to hold tiny succulents.<br />
This year I mostly used it on my kitchen table to hold the salt, pepper and Tabasco. And of course here it is this Christmas under a vintage style silver faux tree.<br />

I have not purchased any new Christmas decor for many years now. I don't think that I will ever need to either. I put up four Christmas trees this year in my little cottage. And I have a couple in storage that I have yet to bring out. Maybe next year? I opt for ornaments that are tiny and reflective as well as flat ornaments such as my snowflakes which store away easily in minimal space.<br />

This old hand made vintage cabinet (above) is a prized possession of mine. I adore the untouched original patina and the mis matched hardware. It dates back well over a century. I was thrilled that it fit on this wall within less than one quarter of an inch. Once I measured it, I knew she was coming home with me. Back in the day they used a LOT of this green paint color.<br />
<br />
<br />
My farmhouse is mostly dressed in shades of white, off white,
greige and gray except for this vintage piece. IT is sort of a sage
green which is a calming color to me and works well in my home. The
vintage scale is the same exact color. For winter I have a Hot Chocolate station.<br />

This little hand made snowman or snow woman was purchased at an art and craft show many years ago. It fit perfectly on this little Victorian shelf this Christmas. A thrift store scrabble game was a deal at just fifty cents and allows me to add messages in the tiniest of spaces. <br />

When living in a tiny home, one must get creative when it comes to decorating. The bathroom window has a deep sill that holds seasonal and everyday items. Another 'Dollar Store' Christmas tree keeps company with a sweet tiny vintage oil lamp that actually works and is used quite often.<br />

What is this you ask? When my forty two square foot tiny bathroom was remodeled , I requested a built in spot for my toilet paper rolls. Actually one can be stored on top but why waste a great nook to decorate. I always say.. cute rules over practical. A vintage itty bitty nativity fit this nook perfectly.<br />

Ah,, I so look forward to soaking in my tub at the end of the day. A perfect place to relax IMO.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks for popping in to visit my corner of the world. I am looking forward to spending time this month sifting through my favorite blogs and catching up on what is new in your life. I hope this year finds you in good health and surrounded with blessings.<br />
<br />
As always I will not let a blog post go by without letting you know that - It is never to late to have a happy childhood. Many of us as children as well as adults have experienced hiccups, neglect, and dysfunction as well as early childhood trauma. We can choose to listen to the inner child, honor our inner child and re parent that hurt, angry, abused or neglected child.. Be kind to yourself and know that you are made in the image of God and he adores you just as you are now today. Blessings-<br />
<br />
Should any reader desire prayer please do not hesitate to ask. I will not post your request publicly but will honor your privacy and hold you in prayer, just please request to not have your comment go public. If you care to have your comment go public so other believers can also lift you up in prayer that is also fine. Make your request for privacy or your comments will be public. Other believers in the Lord JESUS CHRIST-please hold up others in prayer. Prayer is powerful. Please visit back to share what God has done in your life as you see fit. <br />
<br />
God restores and turns ashes into beauty. He heals and I truly know that while I am a blessed child of God, I know that I am not home yet. I am a pilgrim in this land. The JOY of the LORD is my strength and may it be yours.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Two posts in the same month. I don't think that has ever happened here. Today I'm sharing how I dressed up the area above my stove. The idea for this barn wood hood was inspired by other women before me who used barn wood to fashion a range hood for their own kitchens. This homemade hoodie was built from local very weathered barn wood. It hides a basic generic and inexpensive range fan and light combo. I have often considerd painting it white or maybe white washing it. Not sure - what do you think? Paint it white, whitewash it or leave it alone? </div>

Farm critters can be found in one form or another throughout my little cottage in the woods. At least 12-15 lambs can be seen in this cottage on any given day.</div>

I also have a few <strike>dozen </strike>crowns scattered around the house. Many of the critters sport crowns over here in the little farmhouse.

Resurfacing once again to connect with my blog and my dedicated and VERY patient readers. Oh, how I love this time of year. I am a sunshine girl for sure and thrive in the glorious warm summer months. I hope y'all are blessed and making time to be barefoot and taking some time to play, no matter your age.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
How did I ever live without a covered porch? It is my favorite place to be on warm, yet very comfortable summer nights. Oh and to sit out there in the morning as the hummers and other wild birds come to enjoy a free breakfast and offer a song in exchange. I enjoy watching the cows, bulls and many calves as well as the beautiful horses just outside my front door, as well as the occasional black bear who wanders through the woods behind my home. The deer and wild rabbits are an almost daily sight. As much fun as I have nesting and fluffing the homestead, I am really an outside girl. Gardening..not so much. Rafting, hanging out at the river, hiking, driving country back roads.. picnics on mountaintops, activities with my dogs, porch dwelling...YES please. More time for learning to be still and less time doing. YES please.</div>

When I was younger I had zero interest or appreciation for anything vintage. It's funny how things change. I now SO appreciate quality craftsmanship in both architecture and furniture. Back in the day furniture and homes both, were built to last. It seems funny that today with the onset of a bajillion laws, regulations, codes and inspectors that there is still a huge void of quality workmanship. Common sense has been mostly replaced by NON sense and a general lack of integrity in the trades and in life in general in my humble opinion.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
on another note.. but it all ties in (to me anyway)...I can not express how irritated I am at the advancement of technology at every turn and corner of life. I feel that much of it has turned people into stressed out idiots who are not able to be present with the person or task at hand. I am opinionated, proudly NOT PC, and well that is totally how I roll. Sorry.. I forget to say "Welcome back" if you are visiting. Any hoo.. I can not change others nor do I care to. How does this all play into this blog post about my refrigerator, you ask? It does, bear with me as I travel this bunny trail.It's been awhile and I am making up for lost blogging time here.</div>

I am of an age where I watch how cell phones and social media are destroying SO many relationships because people are not able to leave home, work, drive, or live without them. Always some excuse.. In my experiences and IMO as I observe people, most technology does not invite folks to be present with whom they keep company nor to fully be present where they currently and physically are located. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
People are over the top busy these days and it's as if it is award worthy to be on a non stop merry go round. I know.. I used to be on one for many years. Over the years things have intensified as far as folks being so over the top busy and totally stressed out with never enough time in one day. It is almost like you are not important if you are not scheduling every minute of your day and staying busy. It is the new norm for folks to be stressed out day in and day out. I can see that now.</div>

I thought technology was supposed to make things easier? I guess it has for many and for many NOT. When I am around people I am very engaged, and chatty and then I come home and crash and am sapped. This by the way is how you can tell if you are a true introvert or an extrovert. IF people for the most part energize you, you are said to be an extrovert. If for the most part people drain you, then you are probably like me.. a TRUE introvert. Okay.. I have expressed my rant, thanks for bearing with my chatty loner side. I am now finally getting to how to hide a refrigerator in either a small or large home. </div>

My little farmhouse is my nest, my refuge and place of peace. If you have ever visited this blog, you probably can tell that I embrace a mix of interior styles such as Farmhouse, French Country, Vintage, Thrift store and dumpster style decor. Okay.. throw in a few items from Etsy and Wally world too.</div>

I totally embrace all things chippy, rusty and well- you know.. all those beat up and well worn treasures that beg to be repurposed instead of thrown in the dumpster. Ahh.. and the treasures one can find at the dump. With these interior design and style choices it allows me to relax more and keep within the lanes of a more simple and frugal lifestyle. Minimalist I am not. No apologies. I surround myself with what I like. My friends remind me I have yet to attain a simple life. What can I say.? Each of us has their own idea of what simple means to them. I don't equate minimalism with simple. I am always in transition and open to change so well see. I am at the point of not wanting, or needing one more material object to have and to hold. I shop the house and rotate items for change ups. </div>

When I decided to buy this little funky 570' farmhouse I knew I wanted to hide or camouflage all things electronic as well as completely hide my refrigerator and create an old timey vibe as much as possible. That sort of vibe or decor style transports me to days gone by when technology was non existent and folks were okay that way. A more simple time when people seemed (to me) to be more civilized, less angry, less confrontational, less stressed and generally happier. Life was not as complicated and fake with 'like's and friending and unfriending. IT seems so insane to me...I guess I am out of touch and I enjoy it this way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I still enjoy dialing, yes you heard that right. I still enjoy looking for the number on my old dial style home phone. I place my finger in the little round hole and dial it all while pulling the combination of numbers out of my head where they are stored in order to reach someone.IF the grid goes down, no worries.. I know your phone number. It slows me down. It calms me down. I enjoy it this way. And about half of my viewing audience is saying "what the heck is she talking about"?</div>

Now-don't get me wrong.. I am totally happy to have a refrigerator as opposed to keeping things in the farmhouse root cellar just behind my house. I am also thankful for an inside bathroom which was not the case for the generations of families before me. Oh, and the electricity and running water .. no complaints at all and very thankful for both. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
One neighbor who purchased this farm house in the sixties told me it was hard for her to walk up the hill to the out house when she was eight months pregnant, especially when it snowed. It was also not the most fun to draw her daily water from the well under my current patio. She also shared stories of how she hand washed the baby diapers in a drawn buckets of water and then hung them on the hand rail to dry and they would freeze in winter months and she brought them inside to heat by the fire. So...No- I would not want to live the Amish type lifestyle..even though I often ponder it. I like my running water, electricity and refrigerator but I don't take them for granted and feel totally blessed. The farmhouse vintage vibe reminds me to be thankful for life today. So...on to the refrigerator story.</div>

Hiding this big new hideous hunk of metal, aka; 'the frig' (below) was a big deal to me.I had in mind to make it appear more like an old farmhouse cabinet or broom closet once it was in it's disguise.I wanted it to blend in instead of stand out. And of course I wanted to keep on budget for this project. I don't now remember what the wood cost, but it certainly was the most expensive part of this project.</div>

A one inch thick piece of lumber was used. It was bead board on one side and that is the side that faces the kitchen. The same style wood was used on the side of the frig and a piece on the top of the frig was used to form sort of a three sided rectangle box to in close the frig. The top piece was attached directly to the wall as was the newly built door. I did leave an open space by not fully in closing it along the top of the frig so it could breathe.Important to remember should you build something similar.</div>

<span id="goog_1354007363">The above picture was last fall. I have since then added a little strip of wood with pegs that allows me to hang different items from, instead of adding hooks and nails to the door each time I want to change things up. Not that a nail would mess it up... It just is nice to use this wooden thingy that makes change outs fast and easy. I think I bought the wooden peg rack (below) from Ikea some years back? </span></div>

From the creaking of my old front porch screen door to the old and original pine planks to all the little nooks and crannies this place makes me smile. I have never not one day regretted selling my home in the Pacific North West and sight unseen buying this home online and relocating here about four years ago. The people here are beyond the nicest people I have ever come across and mountain country life just suits me well. I feel at peace being here in the Appalachian mountains and can not imagine life anywhere else. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span id="goog_1354007363">Just an FYI.. because many people notice the smallest details in a not so good photo. Yes you do see something on my ceiling near my frig. It is an old vintage ceiling tin that is concealing some holes in the ceiling where someone may have been trying to run wire and did not have any tools available to do it correctly? That's my best guess. I can only imagine by the look of things that they proceeded to drill many holes and then gouge out a snake like pattern in the wood plank ceiling. Oh, yeah.. there are a couple of those sweet spots in this little farmhouse kitchen. I decided long ago to pick my battles. In keeping it simple and low cost I just covered those mini messes with vintage ceiling tins. People look at them and it then creates a whole new conversation.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm SO happy, happy, happy that it it's finally spring time. With a most welcomed change of seasons, I've come out of hibernation to re connect with other living beings at this wonderful time of the year. In shifting into the Spring swing of things, lots of cleaning is going on here at the farm charm cottage. Even the dogs have been enlisted to hunt for stray popcorn kernels hiding under the sofa which were left overs from those long lasting cold winter days, where we did lots of snuggling under piles of vintage quilts near the blaze of toasty and welcomed fire here in the little cottage. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
You are probably wondering what the heck my title "Sheep balls" means. Not short on words and one that is known to go down a bunny trail or two or three, - let me tell you a story about them. On a cold winter day, while reading a favorite blog, called Junk Chic Cottage, I ran into these adorable little laundry sheep balls which are named Little beau sheep. You can read that post right <a href="https://junkchiccottage.blogspot.com/2019/01/little-beau-sheep-giveaway-and-update.html#comment-form">here.</a> And while you are on Kris's blog take a look at her beautiful home, and her not to miss - shabby decor on her current <a href="https://junkchiccottage.blogspot.com/">Easter</a> post. Any hoo the little sheepies were set to be shipped to a new home once she picked winners of her give away. For me, it was love at first sight, and I knew they would be a perfect addition to my tiny, laundry room that also serves as a pantry and mud room all rolled into one itty bitty space. I feel so blessed to have won them. These Little Beau Peep laundry balls are both adorable and functional and are a perfect addition to compliment my vintage farm charm cottage decor.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
As promised (better late than never) in the comment section of her giveaway I said if I was fortunate to win the give away that I would do a post about them and tell of an old cowboy story about sheep balls, or as they are properly called - sheep testicles. You will soon see just what I mean, read on.</div>

I have a dear friend and true cowboy named Marvin. Nearing his 100th birthday he is never short of amazing stories from his past. I remember him telling me that back in the day on the ranch he would use his teeth to castrate sheep. I listened intently as he described just how it was done. I had never heard anything of the like and figured he was just 'pulling my chain'. I asked the next old timer cow boys I came across if Marvin's story was true. I was afraid they would laugh and look at me thinking I was the most vulnerable person they had ever met. As it turns out, yep it's da true real deal story as verified by several old timers and sheep ranchers. This method was also featured on the popular TV show called Dirty Jobs. Should you want to learn more about this method of castration of lambs or see a video that explains how shepherds used their mouth to get a better grip check out YouTube or read more about the 'slippery' testicles here on this <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2072103/Shepherds-bit-lambs-testicles-special-farming-event-hit-violent-food-poisoning-bug.html">link.</a> .</div>

Rocky Mountain Oysters are enjoyed by people from all over the world? They are actually not oysters at all. They're mammal testicles and most commonly come from bulls,bison, pigs, and sheep. Marvin loves them breaded and fried with a squeeze of fresh lemon and then topped with Tabasco. Ah, I will pass on this delicacy </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this time around and stick with fried green tomatoes. </div>

For those of you who don't yet use dryer balls, I hope you try them out. They replace dryer sheets and fabric softener. That's right.. they do the job of both while saving you a lot of money. The most important thing is that they don't add those nasty cancer causing chemicals to your home or laundry. While they bounce around your loaded dryer they allow the air to circulate and therefore your clothes dry faster. They don't have to be designer ones like these. You can pick up the plane Jane ones at Walmart or on Amazon. Just pop them into your dryer to experience the difference. Three to four for medium loads and up to six for large loads. </div>

If you like your laundry scented, just add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to each ball and then pop them into an empty dryer and turn it on for a few minutes so that the essential oil soaks in to the ball and does not stain your future loads of laundry. I like lemon or lavender scented sheets.</div>

I so regret buying a front loading machine. From the beginning it had a tiny drip. It takes forever to wash clothes and it is just way to high tech with a thousand options, even connecting through some sort of app to a smart phone. What is a smart phone anyway? I mean really? Who needs a washing machine that talks to a phone? NOT ME! I still use only a home phone and most of the time one that still has a cord into the wall. So the new front loading machine is a BIG regret. I love the simple older ones with hot or cold, heavy or light dirt options. They are simple, easy and do a great job. Sigh. See that glass wash board? I use it on a regular basis, not in the river but in my cast iron farm sink. Works better than my fancy washing machine. Does anyone out there still use a washboard?</div>

Looking at this tiny laundry room area you might assume it needs to be updated. This is the updated version of my tiny laundry area. When I purchased new appliances I wanted them hidden behind burlap sacks to keep this room in a vintage farmhouse vibe. I built a counter above the washer and dryer out of old barn wood. I added upper open shelves for easy storage. It felt really closed in so I replaced the glass with a mirror in the center of the window to catch more sunlight and give the appearance that is a bit bigger space. And of course, everything got a fresh coat of white paint.</div>

Back in the day many decades ago, this little room was just a covered back porch. The farmhouse had no running water or electricity, therefore no washing machine or dryer. In fact, just under the counter where my washing machine sits, was a water well. The family that lived here at the time used a rope and bucket to draw water from that well for all their daily needs. One of my neighbors remembers that he was the skinniest kid out of his nine siblings and he was chosen by the owners of this house be let down by a rope into the the well to scrape out sediment at the bottom of the well. He got paid a nickle for his work and was thrilled to make that kind of money back in the day. So yeah, this is the updated version of the laundry room. I do have some before pictures but choose not to show them as I was trying to stay on topic here...okay.. I took a bunny trail on the way.</div>

So there you have it, a story about sheep laundry balls that are darling, useful and also remind me of my dear older gentleman cowboy friend as well as a sweet lady who braved the ridiculous icy roads and beyond cold, and definitely freezing record breaking temperatures in Illinois to get these three little sheep in the mail to me. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
If you read my last post, you know by now that I really like hearts. It's no surprise that I am again sharing more Valentines goodness from this farmhouse. Hearts pretty much stay up year round, here in this little cottage. Some are rusted metal, some are chippy painted wood, and a few are newer craft store purchases. A couple sweet hearts are made from strings of pearls, many are those puffy hand sewn hearts lovingly made from old vintage tattered quilts. You get the picture? If not, no worries - I have included lots of pictures of some of the hearts that have come to live at Farm Charm Cottage.</div>

I hope you have enjoyed looking through photos of my Farmhouse, filled with hearts. In previous posts I have shared photos of my tiny 8'x18' house on wheels decorated for Valentines Day and a post that gives a rare view of my farmhouse cottage kitchen with it's old chippy ceiling tin back splash and rustic open shelving. And of course there are pictures of my mantle dressed up for the day of love.</div>

Well finally... I undressed my Christmas Tree and decided to turn it into a Valentine's Day tree so that I could continue to enjoy the glow from the twinkling white lights in the midst of winter. I hung little red hearts on it where the snowflakes used to be and then I stepped back to take a look. Nope, it just did not look right. Perhaps it was the bright red hearts that did not impress me? I thought of spray painting them white but I was just not into a winter craft project. Down came the tree, off came the lights and ornaments and back to the shed it went. Maybe I was just procrastinating and not wanting to go back into my unorganized messy shed. An upcoming warm weather project. Big sigh.<br />

I decided to leave my Fireplace mantle greenery and the lights in place to keep the 'cozy winter nights by the fireplace' vibe going on. I mixed in
some of my primitive puffy quilt hearts with the left over Christmas decor. I added a banner of golden
wood hearts next to the mantle jewelry that I used for Christmas. Those
who follow my blog know I share lots of photos of my chalk painted
mantle. This old farmhouse is small, really small (570') and I just
don't have many surfaces that I can decorate for the holidays, so here
it is once again, now filled with winter and Valentines decor all snuggled and mingled in
together. I am really liking it and it may become a new tradition in my home?<br />

I have always been drawn to hearts, crowns, birds nests,
vintage keys, and architectural pieces, anything made of galvanized
metal and statues or paintings of rabbits, pigs and other farm
critters The more rusty, chippy or crusty a piece is, the more I
seem drawn to it. I don't think of myself as a collector, I may be in denial? Many of the mentioned items live throughout my itsy bitsy
farmhouse and yes, the over flow is in my tiny house, the one on wheels
that measures 8' wide and 18' long. Still a storage unit at present. Insert another BIG sigh. I have downsized quite a bit in the past four years, yet I have held onto many
little treasures that bring a smile to my face and add charm to this old little farmhouse cottage that I feel so blessed to live in.<br />

Valentines Day decor is so easy for me, I don't have to unpack a thing
like I do for Fall or Christmas. Hearts, angels and romantic French
Country farmhouse decor surrounds me everyday in this little cottage. I
much prefer vintage items that are well worn, which adds character instead of
trending mass produced items from China. However, I do mix in some of
the most irresistible mass produced what knots like these cheapo galvanized hearts from the land of Hob Lob. <br />

I really like these little vintage stuffed hearts. I display them in ironstone bowls and wicker baskets and sometimes I attach them to twine to make a banner to string across my covered front porch.'I suppose if you sew they would be pretty easy to make? I don't sew at all, and was happy when I found them on my favorite shopping site - Etsy.. I recently attached one heart onto each of my kitchen / dining nook chairs. They look so cute and I will take some pictures to share with you in my next post. It's great to have items that can be used in so many ways year round and that also store easily especially when you live in a very small home home, with minimal storage space. <br />

I like items that provoke me to consider more than what first meets the eye. Hearts always remind me of the biblical verse of John 3:16. <span class="st">For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believe in him should not perish, but
have everlasting life. And Romans 9, verse 9-10</span> <span class="st">For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believe in him should not perish, but
have everlasting life.</span> If we believe in our HEART and confess with our mouth that Jesus Christ is our Lord, then we shall be saved. I experience my Heavenly Fathers love every day and Jesus has changed my heart and turned my sorrow into joy and ashes into beauty.Yes, there continue to be tests & valleys however those times produce a testimony to HIS goodness, faithfulness & grace. <br />

There are many followers who sent in prayer requests to my comment section and requested me to not post them publicly. If you are reading this post please know that I read each and every prayer request and continue to keep you all on my mind and in my prayer time I intercede for you, and your life situations that you shared with me. I am praying that even though you are going through some trials and valleys now and may have family members that seem hopeless, God can fill your heart with joy in the midst of your mess. It is my prayer you will grow closer to your creator who loves and adores you. You are made in HIS image and you are one of a kind and God is not finished with you.<br />

Some days it is just your lucky day when you find something as sweet as these hand crochet hearts for just ten cents each. Really..They were already starched to boot. I have moved these babies all around my cottage and I don't think I will ever tire of them. Pine cones, hearts and lace, all timeless. <br />

Baby, it is SO cold outside. There calling this cold air blowing in from the North Pole an Arctic
blast. It's close to
ten degrees outside right now. Yet, there is no snow in the forecast for my
area. Only had a very light dusting one day a couple of weeks ago. Jan -
Feb seem to be the coldest months here in the mountains and it's a
perfect time for making homemade stews, soups and popping corn and then
snuggling up on the sofa to enjoy cozy and warm evenings by the fire. Fleece jammies and wool socks, yes, please. <br />

I am always signing off with "It's never too late to have a happy childhood" I snapped a picture of me standing barefoot in the center of this heart on my snow dusted deck, but the camera battery died and darn .. wouldn't ya know - it didn't come out.<br />
<br />
Hey - I have some more farmhouse, vintage Valentine goodness to share with you in my next post. So until then, make time, take time to go play. It is never too late to create a happy childhood. Many blessings to you farmhouse loving girls. Keep warm.<br />

On years that I do put up a Christmas tree, I am not one of those gals that puts hers up in the Fall. Nope, I am not an"'out with Turkey and in with the Christmas Tree, on the same day" kind of girl. I've found out that many people are still celebrating Christmas, even today. The 12 days of Christmas are coming to a close and that is when thousands of people take down their Christmas trees and holiday decor. Who knew? I read a post on a sweet blog called <a href="https://aboxoftwine.com/12-days-of-christmas-with-family/">A box of twine</a> , and learned about Christmas being observed for a full twelve days, starting on Dec 25th. I actually was not aware of this long standing tradition, even though I have sung the 12 Days of Christmas song for many years.. This idea totally fits in with my commitment of slowing down my lifestyle, living in the moment and being able to enjoy my Christmas decorations well into winter.<br />
<br />
It makes me happy to still be enjoying the twinkling Christmas Tree and mantle lights in my cozy little farmhouse. What is the rush anyways? Think about how much rampant consumerism controls are daily lives. What if you actually bought and gave your presents over the 12 days of Christmas? One could certainly save some bucks by purchasing presents after Dec 25th. Most items on your list would be at greatly reduced prices as well as wrapping paper at 50-75% off normal prices. Christmas is IMO about reflecting on our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I do that daily and actually feel that Jewish holidays have a scriptural basis and present a clearer picture of seasons and reasons instead of just a pretty house and like I mentioned, rampant and wild consumerism far removed from any biblical.basis for a Christian. We each have our own convictions and traditions and beliefs. <br />
<br />
If you looked at my earlier Christmas decor posts these pictures are similar except that I am sharing a few pictures of my dogs, my front room tree and the little farmhouse at night, this night of Jan5, 2019. No, I didn't decorate the house for New Years Eve, even though I had a little party over here with some amazing friends, great times and so much fun. However, I am considering decorating my Christmas tree with tiny vintage hearts to create a Valentines tree. Seriously.. Well -maybe? <br />

As the final hours of this glorious Christmas day are approaching, I am finally sharing (just what is the rush?) more farmhouse goodness. These photos were taken on different days over the past two weeks. If you would like to see my front room decorated for Christmas just go back one post.<br />
<br />
I think that a lot of bloggers self impose stress on themselves in order to get a post up by a certain date. I am not one of those self proclaimed home stylist bloggers. I give myself permission to 'roll slow' these days, live in the moment and break all so called rules that would otherwise manifest into stressful "have to" or "must do" deadline moments. I wasn't always like this, I used to live a rushed and, 'way to busy', over scheduled every minute type of life, no more. Relocating to and living in these beautiful Appalachian mountains has a way of chilling a person out. Especially,- if you move here from the West coast or the Pacific North West, like I did. Life is so much different here, and all in a very good way. My only regret is not leaving the West coast much sooner than I did.<br />
<br />
Back to my farmhouse....My bedroom is very small but also sufficient for my needs at this time in my life. It has the original plank walls and molding as well as the original plank flooring. Oh, yeah- wavy glass window panes abound in this little farmhouse. Since this 570' farmhouse is a real OLD farmhouse it is drafty in the winter. That just comes with life in a real farmhouse. Can I get a witness from anyone else who lives in a REAL farmhouse? Winter invites use of heavy blankets and an assortment of quilts. I bet some of you are surprised to see that I actually use more than monochromatic colors in my farmhouse decor. But I do change it up now and again with my whims and seasons. I found this old simple quilt for just $10.00. It is a tad colorful and somewhat bright for my taste, but it will be changed out as the weather warms up and the drafts stop flowing. <br />

I have more photos to share but I might hold onto them so that I can shock myself and get a post up early next Dec. LOL. Then again, since I march to a different drummer, I may share them later in the week.<br />
<br />
I hope y'all had a blessed Christmas. YOU are the reason for the season. Jesus is not the reason, the reason is YOU. HE was born, died, rose again to bring salvation to the world. He came to the world in flesh for you to receive salvation and life on earth more abundantly and because HE adores us and desires to dwell with all his creation in a one on one personal relationship. If you would like prayer please leave a comment, and if you do not want your comment public, just let me know and I will read it personally and pray for you. It will be posted unless you request privacy. God bless you.<br />
<br />
As always - Remember, that it is NEVER too late for a happy childhood. Now please make time to play, and hopefully make time to pray.<br />
<br />
With love and Christmas blessings...<br />

<br />
Traditionalist - is a word that does not describe me in any way what so ever. I have no 'must do's' on my Christmas list. In fact, I don't even make a Christmas list. Some years I decorate and some years I don't bother digging out my ornaments nor the off gassing faux Christmas tree. Yes.. that's right- faux Christmas trees even from the over priced companies like 'Balsam <strike>overkill</strike> Hill' are made in China and are toxic.Warnings suggest washing your hands after handling faux trees and advise that children and pets do not come in contact with the tree due to lead exposure. Holiday buzz kill, yeah, I know. After learning this I now use USA made leather work gloves to set up my faux tree. All that aside, I felt super happy and very festive this season and decided to dress up this little cottage for Christmas. <br />
<br />
I went all out this year by adding Christmas cheer to the front room, the dining nook, the bedroom and even a dash of Christmas charm in my itty-bitty bathroom. Do y'all decorate your bathroom for the holidays? I don't know what got into me this year, but I'm posting pics that document the results.<br />

Thanks for visiting the front room in my little 570' farmhouse in the Appalachian mountains. Come back soon to see more farmhouse goodness. I will be sharing pictures of my kitchen nook and the bedroom as well as my Christmas tree in upcoming posts.<br />
<br />
Remember - It is never too late to have a happy childhood.<br />

<h2>
<b>Psalm 100:1–5:</b> Thanksgiving: The Gateway to God’s Courts</h2>
<blockquote>
<i> “Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!<br />
Serve the Lord with gladness!<br />
Come into his presence with singing!<br />
Know that the Lord, he is God!<br />
It is he who made us, and we are his;<br />
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.<br />
Enter his gates with thanksgiving,<br />
and his courts with praise!<br />
Give thanks to him; bless his name!<br />
For the Lord is good;<br />
his steadfast love endures forever,<br />
and his faithfulness to all generations.”</i></blockquote>
<br />
<br />
What if we thought of gratitude as the literal doorway into worship?<br />

I hope that you remember that it is never too late to have a happy childhood and please make time to play this holiday season. More importantly, make time to spend with your creator. Life on earth is so short. Be thankful, celebrate, dance, praise and worship the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. You are made in HIS image and he adores you. Call on HIM - he is extravagant in HIS love for you.<br />
<br />
Blessings,<br />

Living (on purpose) in a wee, little 570' vintage farmhouse cottage where every inch really does matter can present decorating challenges, especially for those of us who do not subscribe to the'"less is more" idea. This is especially true when decorating for the holidays.<br />
<br />
Those precious tiny white 'baby boo' pumpkins are a perfect size to incorporate into small living quarters. Last year after Thanksgiving I found some of those sweet lil faux whites on clearance for .25 cents each. I knew they would be in good company with the other mini pumpkins I had amassed. Okay, I broke my rule of 'If I bring one item into my home, then five items must find a new home'. Oh'... that was a stupid rule. <br />
<br />
Here are some pictures of my 'Farm Charm' cottage dressed for Fall. Recently, I found a sweet gray glass pumpkin that came home with me. I think I broke that 1 in 5 out rule again. It now sits on my mantle and is surrounded by little white baby boo pumpkins, candles, antlers and acorns. Fabric leaves in green and tan hang from my chain clip garland to finish off the Fall theme in my front room. <br />

Thanks for taking a tiny tour of my itty bitty farmhouse front room It's so very small but oh so sweet. I like to change things up but due to it's size it is really difficult to move furniture around on a whim. So, I have to change things up by using small items here and there for seasonal changes. This smaller lifestyle is a more simple way to live. I find peace in not having a mortgage, very low property taxes and enough room inside to dance and celebrate a blessed life for which I am very thankful for. God is SO good. HE gives me breath, and I give HIM praise.<br />
<br />
Thanks for making time to visit my Farm Charm Cottage this Fall season. I also did a bit of decorating in my dining nook and will be sharing those pictures in my next post. You can subscribe to this blog by email in she space provided on the right column of this blog. Some have inquired about my non use of InstaHAM., I do not do Space Book, or InstaHAM,. You can still find pictures of my Shabby Chic Tiny Retreat (tiny house on wheels) on Pinterest as well as on this blog under the "Tiny House" tab.<br />
<br />
Please remember - It is never too late to have a happy childhood. Now, go play.<br />

Fall - the undressing of the beautiful trees that surround my farm charm cottage and the not forgotten 'Shabby Chic Tiny Retreat', (my 8x18 tiny house) here in the sweet Appalachian mountains. So many people delight in the splendor of observing the color changes that Fall ushers in. Me, not so much... I love hot sun drenched days where I can hike, walk, play and bake in the almost constant rays of wonderful sunshine where I am blessed to dwell. I love the heat of the day and spending warm summer evenings on the old farmhouse covered porch. Yet, I remain thankful that I am alive and able to embrace the weather patterns that undress the many species of trees that fill these Appalachian mountains, as well as the valleys that are neighbors to many rivers.<br />
<br />
Accepting that cold and shorter days are just around the corner, I've put the fleece sheets back on my bed, pulled out my vintage quilts as well as a few new soup recipes that I want to try. I've also been gathering new Organic tea flavors to add to my Fall and winter tea collection. No doubt, they will pair up nicely with a warm cozy fire, candles and great reads.<br />
<br />
I have a thing for vintage windows and it was love at first sight when I spotted this unique window that was laid to rest in a barn loft for many years. I had originally considered giving her a new life as a headboard but later decided that she would fit perfectly into this odd farmhouse nook. So here she is, in her new repurposed life as she proudly houses a variety of Organic seasonal teas and Organic local honey, vintage tea cups and other goodies that are part of sharing a cup of tea with a friend.<br />

I placed a few eggs and nests throughout my little farmhouse cottage a few days ago. It has been a slow go for spring to arrive here in the Appalachian mountains. Finally.... sigh..It is about time.<br />

For me, eggs have a deeper meaning than pretty decor that is part
of a Spring time decorating trend. Eggs are part of the Passover Seder,
as well as being the target of a Easter egg hunt for children. They represent many different
things to Jews, Messianic Jews and Christians who celebrate Passover or Easter at
this time of year.<br />

An egg once laid seems to be perfect on it's own. They can
be eaten raw, boiled, scrambled, fried, over easy or incorporated into a favorite recipe. Still, the egg itself is incomplete as it can become much
more. It can come alive, apart from it's existence and usefulness as an egg. And so
it is with us. There is also more for us as human beings. We can also be
transformed and have a new life, which we receive when we enter into a
relationship with our Heavenly Father by accepting and inviting Jesus to
live in our heart.<br />

And that is so exciting it makes me do a happy dance. We
have the potential to have new life when we are born again from above. We might be good eggs, but there is much more for us. We can come alive
in a new way. When we invite Jesus to be the Lord of our lives we can
then live up to our potential as a child of God. We can have a new life, and a new realized purpose and potential.<br />

GOD is a good GOD and HE adores you. You are made in the image of GOD and well HE is just so in love with HIS creation. At this time of year
when Passover and Easter is observed by millions around the world, I am
so thankful for the bless-ed assurance of HIS love for his kids. A
relationship with God does NOT mean religion. Religion binds one up and
God came to set us free from sin and bondage. Praise God. You can pray anyplace, anytime, right now or in the shower, garden or where you feel comfortable. <br />

As you observe the wonders of this season, remember it is never ever to late to have a happy childhood. Take off your shoes and walk through the grass, dirt or even on pebbles. Take a break from your computer, your phone, and social media and go play or dance like nobody is watching you. Try to be present with what is before you. I dare you to take off your shoes today and go walk around outside barefoot and fancy free, even if it's for 5minutes.. Let me know in the comment section if you allowed yourself the joy of this experience. It is called 'earthing' and it actually a very healthy thing to incorporate into your life on a regular basis.<br />
<br />
Many blessings. Happy Yappy Spring Time to you and yours.<br />

For the rest of the story and 'before' photos of this transformed tiny farmhouse bathroom please see my last two posts, part 1 <a href="http://shabbychictinyretreat.blogspot.com/2018/02/as-most-of-you-know-almost-three-years.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> and Part 2 <a href="http://shabbychictinyretreat.blogspot.com/2018/02/tiny-42-sq-ft-bathroom-update-part-2.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> , or scroll down and click on 'older posts'. Warning-this post is picture heavy. One photo for every square foot of space...that's 42 pics.<br />
Sit back, scroll and enjoy as I take you on a tour.<br />
<br />
The house itself is 560' sq feet, and the homes only bathroom is 42' sq feet. Working in such a tiny space presented several challenges. To get an idea of just how small my bathroom is - stretch out your arms and imagine that it's much narrower than the space between your hands. Yes, every INCH really does matter in a situation such as this. I originally considered making it larger but decided to work within the homes original framework to keep it small, cozy and simple.</div>

Demolition revealed original wood planks on two walls and the ceiling. New pine planks were added where necessary. I used a high end white glossy paint from Lowe's 'Reserve' line to brighten the space and invite light to reflect off the walls. This tricks the
eye and makes tiny spaces appear larger. The old shower/tub combo and tile was
removed and a 4-1/2' 1924 claw foot tub and new plumbing took its place.<br />

This tub came out like new, what a transformation in and of itself. I am so pleased with it.<br />
I used
the Annie Sloan chalk paint color called 'French Linen' as my
inspiration for the color of the tubs exterior. While you can paint the outside of a claw foot tub with Annie Sloan chalk paint, a different type of paint was used when the tub was professionally refinished. I wanted to keep this room in a neutral palate, as I can
easily add in pops of color down the road that will work well with both the gray
tub and the white walls.</div>

Using a tub to bathe is so 'on purpose'. You can't just jump in and out as quickly as you can with a conventional shower. Unless... you have a faucet such as the one below. It is really easy and comfortable to shower in a sitting position. For me, having a relaxing and super comfortable bath to soak in is part of my simple, sunny life plan. I don't want to rush as much as I did in years past. I make my tub time a relaxing ritual, that includes good music, candles, homemade skin treatments, and sometimes a glass of Organic red wine, or hot herbal tea. For extra pampering I throw in a handful of fresh flower petals from my garden, and keep a good book or magazine nearby. Then, when my ritual is nearing its end, I can easily rinse off and get ready for life's adventures.<br />

There is a small nook about 31" wide and 12" deep on the left side, that
allows this 4 1/2' tub to fit. How perfect it worked out. I have a few
inches to spare back there, and use that space to store my toilet brush and some bathroom
items. Again, when you only have 42 sq ft' to work with, every single inch is
important and useful.<br />

I use small shelves and also hooks throughout my home. They allow me
to change things up by adding, removing or hanging different items in just a few minutes. That way, I avoid hunting for a hammer and nails. Most importantly, I avoid lots of holes in the plank walls from pounding nails in them. That's.important for a
person like me who gets bored and likes to change and switch things up ...as the mood strikes. If I want a picture or new painting on my wall, I just set it on the shelf instead of adding nails and screws all over the room.<br />

Below, you will notice the vintage (once gold) frame I shared in a prior post. I gave a whopping $3.00 for it at a thrift shop. It now has a new life after several layers of chalk paint, crackle glaze. and dark wax. It's new job is to surround a piece of rusty iron (love birds) art work that I picked up at a flea market.<br />

I purchased this old chippy coat hanger because it had such character. I especially like that it has really deep hooks that allow me to hang towels or some of my vintage items on it. I can change things out really fast and so at $9.00 it was a must have. I like the options that hooks and shelves provide both for practical (what's that?) items or fancy impracticable but pretty (must have) finds.<br />

I choose wood plank flooring for the bathroom. Actually, I first did a special order for the tongue and groove type at a big box store, all against Mountain Man's (my carpenter, friend) recommendations. He installed them anyway and it turned out that I was a few planks short. I didn't have time to wait for a special order for just a few more planks and remembered that Mountain Man told me from the very beginning to buy the cheaper NON tongue and groove planks. He was right, I was wrong, I admit that here to the world, or the few who read this. The cheaper ones actually had straighter edges and Mountain Man fit those babies together like a puzzle on my floor. They were way better than the tongue and groove flooring. Keep in mind he is the guy who on purpose cut some wood into like three thousand pieces, stained them different shades and then inlaid them in an amazing artistic pattern on his OWN floor. So, I should of went with his suggestion to purchase the less expensive boards for my flooring. Lesson learned.<br />
<br />
I used. two coats of Min wax stain on the floor boards for the base coat and then I used a white paint dry brushing technique on top of them, before I sanded and sealed them with a Min wax product topcoat. Before the stain products, I think I was right around $93.00 for flooring.<br />

In
a wee little loo such as this one you have to get creative in finding
ways to store your stuff. I definitely am on a journey to downsize but I
have not fully embraced that concept, quite yet. I am a bit of a prepper
and that can be a drawback to, or incompatible with small space living. At this time I only
have two dresser drawers under the sink, a deep medicine cabinet and the vintage pieces above, which sit on the floor and hold my necessities (and then some). I do have plans to increase my storage space in this tiny bathroom in the near future. More about that in a later post.</div>

Below is my beloved 1918 (see the last post for details and before photos) medicine chest. She went from being a brunette to being a blonde. I really wanted to keep her original patina, but the old white Annie Sloan chalk paint transformed her into a softer more feminine lady. She went from being brown to being a white girl. Calm down,- Nancy Pelosi and other liberals. White is beautiful too !!!!<br />

I have always had a great fondness for vintage architectural pieces. I have several salvaged Victorian gingerbread pieces that I won't ever part with. From old doors, windows, corbels, columns and more....well - I adore them all. So naturally, I had to incorporate a few pieces into this bathrooms decor. Below, you can see the vintage window that I rescued from a dumpster. I used chippy old legs salvaged from a vintage baby's crib to flank the freebie dumpster window and then I dressed her in a .25 cent vintage doily and topped her with a rusty iron crown, that was purchased at a flea market. </div>

At my request, Mountain Man made me a double decker toilet paper cubby. A second roll of toilet paper can be stored in this recessed nook. However, in my world cute over rules practical. Why waste a perfectly good space on toilet paper when it can be used for a crowned bird and a tiny nest? I plan to add a tiny mirror or maybe wallpaper it's upper section. Why do I adore tiny spaces so much? I do not like to see appliances, so I hung a ceiling tin to hide the wall heater just under the window. Easily removed when it is in use. </div>

This area below shows a tiny door build into the wall right next to my bathroom vanity / sink. Did you know that if you leave your toothbrush out in a holder sitting on your vanity you are essentially brushing your teeth with what ever bacteria floats in the room when you flush your toilet? Yeah, think about that one for awhile. It is VERY important to keep your toothbrush in good clean shape to do it's job of cleaning your teeth, instead of swooshing around toilet water ingredients and bacteria in your mouth.. So- get yourself a mountain man if need be to get your toothbrush in a good place to do a great job for your health and your smile. You don't have to have a room built just for your tooth brush, but you should never leave it exposed and open in the same room that you flush your toilet in. No charge for the tidbit. Here is my toothbrush cabinet with a sweet crystal knob for easy access. <br />

The wall light fixture (below) was purchased at a big box store. They didn't make a ceiling fixture to match. So, I made my own. I had a stash of IKEA electrical cords, where you can just add a bulb and a shade to quickly make a new light. I called the manufacturer of the wall light fixture and ordered a matching fluted glass shade to have an extra one on hand should I break one in the future. Won't tell you why I thought to do that. As it worked out they said that light fixture and it's shades were discontinued and they just happened to have one left in the warehouse (after I pestered them to death to please double check while I held on the line). Sure enough..very last one and a steal at $3.00 plus postage. I used that shade paired with electrical components from my stash, and Mountain Man installed it on a dimmer switch. I was so excited to create this (below) ceiling light for under $12.00. </div>

And now... the other end of my 42 square foot tiny bathroom. If you remember this dresser/vanity was spray painted glossy black when I brought it home. It had a wormy chestnut topside which I really liked. I chalk painted the base grey and it was just to much grey for such a small space. Next, I painted the drawer fronts with Annie Sloan's 'Old White' and added new scroll work on the legs. I kept the same drawer pulls that it came with. Please note, - the pulls were removed at the time of these photos. I am considering doing some graphics on the front of it or adding french script across the front of the drawers. Not quite sure? Maybe I will just leave it be once the hardware is in place. I just realized that I do not have full frontal pictures of this vanity to share now.<br />

Below, (and also above) is a lamp base from the 40's. Once I laid eyes on this cast iron, heavy duty, chippy, gem - I claimed it as "mine". I like to re-purpose items for use in unconventional ways. This lamp base was naked (no lamp shade) or wiring and it's owner would NOT come down on the price, not even $1.00. I knew that this bad boy was still coming home with me, even after seeing the 'no bartering' note on it's price tag. Hey, I tried anyway. It would stand duty, as a towel holder in my bathroom. It set me back $45.00 but I was in love at first sight, well maybe it was lust.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hunted for a tall scalloped shaped vintage lamp shade to top it off and finally found the perfect one for $3.00. Perfect. match. I promptly stripped the shade down to its metal bones. Just what any normal vintage, rustic, industrial, farmhouse, french style loving girl would do. right? Now the shade or what was left of it and the bad boy lamp base do duty as a vintage hand towel and jewelry holder. Perfectly shabby chic. Just how I like it.</div>

I found this vintage reproduction enamel cup and holder (below) years ago. You may recognize it, as I have one just like it in my tiny (8'x18)' house Before I moved to NC I knew that I wanted to use one in my farmhouse bathroom and I searched online high and low to find another one. It seem to blend right into the wall when I hung it so I layered it onto a french chalk painted frame. It is filled with a hen shaped soap bar with tiny little egg shaped guest soaps. As you can see, I just add pieces of decor that I enjoy. NO RULES.</div>

Whew.. I need to run some hot water, fill my tub and take a long bubble bath after this huge picture heavy post. I included FORTY TWO photos. One photo in honor of each square foot of my tiny bathroom. Yes, it is small, really small- as well as the rest of this farmhouse cottage. I intentionally created this type of lifestyle. ON purpose and with great thankfulness. I am blessed to have been able to create a mortgage free, sunny simple life style. I worked for it, it was not handed to me. I had to sacrifice many things to create this lifestyle. It was not an easy path but oh so worth it.to get to this place in life. I do not regret downsizing my last home and the lifestyle I had back then. The large mortgage, massive property taxes and huge utility bills over shadowed the few positives. And the rain, well that was definitely torture for me. And now I can look back and be thankful for the rain as it motivated me to change my life sooner than not.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am such a low tech girl, it's been exhausting to sit at my computer and get these pictures posted. Much rather be doing hands on demo work and remodeling or a hundred other things than to sit in front of a computer this long. I realize all over again, how thankful I am that I don't have any use for a cell phone, never sent a text and don't pay to much attention to emails either. However, this blog remains a way for me to keep in touch with long distance friends and family and also stay in touch with those of you who take the time to visit here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Life...for me is better lived in a small house. It is like being wrapped in a hug. Easier to buy, build or pay off, instead of being owned by your homes costs. I encourage those of you who have considered changing your lifestyle to go for it. Yes, it is a journey to downsize but a much easier road to travel IMO. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While I have less room it allows me to have much more freedom in so many other ways. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Life is so short, use the good dishes, use the fancy soaps, and remember that no matter your age, it is never to late to have a happy childhood. No matter your age find a way to play.<br />
<br />
BLESSINGS, </div>

I am so fortunate to have a friend who is a master craftsman and totally 'gets' my style. I call him "Mountain Man". He is a backwoods mountain dweller that lives nearby. He harvested trees on his land and built himself a beautiful yet really funky (in a good way) little house on a mountain top. He is quite a frugal guy and very creative. Up-cycled freebies and thrift shop finds are given a new life inside Mountain Man's unique home. He made all of his furniture by hand and cut thousands of little pieces of wood and inlaid them in a beautiful pattern to create amazing wood floors. I call his little home a hobbit house. It is so masculine, like a creative artists man cave, which is just how he likes it, he assures me.<br />
<br />
When I have a project in mind for my own home, he comes to help me and. he doesn't complain when I explain to him what I envision. He charges a beyond reasonable price for his work. He also is always recycling lumber and hardware and passes the savings along to me. I could not ask for a better or more awesomely skilled creative carpenter friend. Thanks Mountain Man! You rock.<br />
<br />
As you look at the pictures below, keep in mind the bathrooms width is not quite ten feet long/wide. It's three feet, nine inches deep, plus a tiny nook making it a grand total of forty-two square feet. That folks, is VERY small loo. It's not as tiny as my tiny homes itty bitty bathroom, or my vintage Glampers micro mini bathroom but you can take my word for it -IT'S REALLY SMALL. <br />

There happened to be a small 12" deep by 31" long nook on the left hand side of the bathroom where the last tub was able to fit. You gotta love old farm homes with all their nooks and crannies. Thank goodness for this little nook because it made it possible for my 4 1/2' claw foot tub to fit into place with a few inches left over to spare. Sweet! Now to have the tub plumbing installed. <br />
<br />
You will notice on the right bottom corner of the above picture, a recessed spot in the wall which holds one or two rolls of toilet paper. I designed this toilet paper cubby to create a few more inches between my toilet and the wall. Every inch counts in a tiny space. It is convenient and within easy arms reach from the toilet. I liked it so much that I asked Mountain Man to make me just one more little cubby for my toothbrush in the wall next to my sink. He rolled his eyes and shared a few choice words with me before he cut into the already finished wall. He framed out a perfect little spot for my toothbrush and floss and at my request then added a tiny door to keep my toothbrush private and sanitary. He then asked if I wanted any more mouse houses with doors before he put away his tools for the day. Of course my mind wandered, full of more ideas - but I decided not to push his patience. <br />
<br />
I already had lots of items to decorate the bathroom with but I found a few more things that I felt had to make the final cut. My style? Well its pretty much just things that I like. But - definitely anything vintage, chippy, rusty, galvanized, farmhouse, or french-ish with pops of vintage bling and of course crystals in the mix totally win me over. Now, all that in my bathroom might be a bit too much. Nah, More- is the new 'less'. I don't need anyone's permission. So ..... let the fun begin. <br />
<br />
<br />
Yes Please, This $3.00 frame, a thrift store treasure made the cut.<br />

Yes, yes I know -the below picture is terrible but you didn't need a caption to figure that one out. I don't remember if I was trying to take a picture of my dogs hiding from the noise of demo going on or if I was trying to get a picture of that ugly glossy black spray painted dresser. Obviously I had my eyes closed or something when I bought it and when I took the picture too. It had good bones and so I took pity on it and gave it a new home. It has a dark wood, wormy chestnut top, and I figured I could make it work. I chalk painted it grey but ended up painting it again as I was just not feeling the grey.<br />

Mountain man pointed out to me that this dresser/bathroom vanity was probably too short to use comfortably when washing my face or hands or brushing my teeth. Darn, I hadn't noticed this when I had committed to rescue it. I was probably overcome by the ugly glossy spray paint it was coated in. No worries, Mountain Man can fix anything and he set to making 4 leg extensions. This is why I like the relaxed shabby chic style. I don't have to worry or stress about these kinds of things. <br />

This really old farmhouse medicine cabinet (below) SCREAMED my name when I first laid eyes on it at a flea market. It was $90 and way more than I wanted to pay. I walked away and then came back for a second look. It was amazing. It was really well made and was lined in bead board and the mirror had a wonderful patina to it. I could see that it would easily hold my most frequently used herbal tinctures and bottles of homeopathy and essential oils too. It was chunky, and really heavy and the crackled paint, well that sealed it for me. After haggling with it's owner, I was able to take it home for $60.00. I really like this piece so much so that I may use it as a casket when I die. Well, I obviously could not fit in it but maybe my ashes could, if I get cremated? I am one with this little sweet cabinet. <br />

When I got it home and further inspected it my curiosity got the best of me. The inside of the door was also made of bead board and I was so intrigued because this thing weights like a ton. The mirrored door was the heaviest part. I sat on the floor and took out every stripped tiny screw (added years later I am sure) hoping to find a treasure and that I did. It was lined with a vintage newspaper dated 1918 and named the Sharon Telegraph from PA. I had hoped to find a map to buried treasure, not quite. None the less, fun to imagine where it was made and by whom. That's the fun part about antiques, the stories you imagine they could tell. They all have a story unlike most modern pieces that probably have a story of child slave labor, or under paid folks or those who work in heavy toxic environments to create fall apart stuff. I prefer handmade one of a kind pieces that have a history.<br />

Finally the dust has settled and I am at a place where I am content with the remodel outcome. Yes.. pictures to follow. Although there is a claw foot tub revival of sorts, It seems that most trade out claw foots for new fancy modern tubs. Then there are those who remove their bathtubs all together in favor of a large shower with the fancy faucets and shower heads. No thanks, I had enough of the rain in WA state and I consider standing in a fiberglass or tiled box as water trickles down on me just too close to those cloudy rainy Pacific Northwest days. Nope - I don't want a rainy day shower experience. Bless all of you folks who love that weather. Getting rid of my shower / tub combo and replacing it with a once crusty, beat up mess of a tub was more in line with desires to simplify my life and relax more. <br />
<br />
Then there are people who remove vintage windows and install the latest vinyl, energy efficient double pane brands. Nothing wrong with that and probably smart, but I have always marched to a different drummer. I installed a free multi pane, window with wood grids that I found in a dumpster. . I put up chippy metal tiles as a back splash and re purposed vintage suitcases and a milk man delivery box to hold cosmetics, lotions and potions. A variety of items adorn my walls and while this bathroom on a budget is not everyone's cup a tea, to me this little bathroom turned out perfect. <br />
<br />
After shopping my own house and then adding a few more 'new to me' vintage treasures along with some new candles, and throw rugs with lace edging, it is what I had hoped for. This is what she looks like today (below). This is only a sneak peek and many more photos are on the way.<br />

<br />
<br />
As most of you know, Almost three years ago, I closed a chapter in my life in WA state where I survived (vs. thrived) for fifteen rain drenched years. Ready for a new life adventure I purchased a 560' farmhouse in the Appalachian mountains, online having never seen it in person. I asked my realtor to send
lots of pictures of this little old farm house so that I
would have a good idea of what to expect once I walked inside for the first time. I've heard that pictures don't lie and while a home inspection said she had good bones, It was obvious she needed TLC, especially the TINY bathroom.<br />
<br />
No one seems to know how old this little house is but
several Appalachian mountain old timers have at one time lived in or knew of this farmhouse as young children. With this verbal information and no helpful county permits or records, it is most
likely that this home is a minimum of a hundred years old, and some have reason to believe it is much older. If walls could talk....hmm. <br />
<br />
Many decades ago, way before this little house and I met, she had no
plumbing, or electricity. That meant no bathroom, no running water, no sink, stove, washer, or dryer- well you get the idea.. In the late sixties or early seventies the homes occupants
added indoor plumbing which was a much welcomed addition especially while raising two young children. Many years later an indoor toilet was added just off of the kitchen as in most original farm houses. Years later, electricity invited more changes for this old farmhouse. Not sure what century the bathroom was stuck in, but I hated it. <br />

OM(gosh) what a nasty UGLY, gross, crusty TINY
bathroom it WAS. I could see great potential with the rest of the little farmhouse but the bathroom...oh, um.(head shaking back and forth) YUCK. I used to close my eyes every time I went potty or took a shower in there. It was more pleasant to go freestyle in the woods, if you know what I mean. And on more than one occasion I embraced my inner 'farm & country' girl and grabbed my bar of soap and a towel and went outside and showered naturally (no close by neighbors) in the NC summer rainstorms.. The only problem with that method, was getting stuck with shampoo still in my hair before the rain stopped. That would of never happened in WA state, due to almost never ending rain. But hey,, WA was way to cold for a hippie shower<br />

Within
days of moving in, I took a crow bar and began ripping out the nasty sink (above) and
cabinet because I could not stand looking at it any longer. That presented a whole new set of problems but I am still trying to forget all the details of that situation. You can see the picture below. Enough said.<br />

The bathroom remained a storage unit for about a year and a
half after the sink area was destroyed. I just stacked totes to the ceiling to hide the even bigger mess that I had created. I then began to tackle about seventy eight other projects and I remained in denial that I just might have made the bathroom even uglier than it was at first glance. Just seeing these pictures sends me into a hot flash .Just when I thought they had forever ended.<br />

Normally I am
not short on ideas on how to fluff up a nest but I was simply not
inspired with this mess and at a loss with how to make this TINY, eight foot long and
four foot wide bathroom work for me. I wanted a cozy, sweet retreat with
a vintage vibe that would woo me in, to enjoy long bubble baths and
soothing soaks at the days end. My creative juices were short circuiting just like the wires in the above picture did.<br />
<br />
<b>UNTIL .........</b><br />
<br />
One sunny day...I was inspired, just like that. I was out walking one of my dogs when I spotted a dumpster outside of a home that was being renovated. Of course, I peeked inside to see what treasures might be crying out for salvation. My eyes lit up as I spotted two old farmhouse windows with glass panes intact. The metal tracks were perfect and they opened and closed easily and they came with window screens too boot. I actually only needed one but snatched both as one is a back up for parts. There was one small window in my bathroom that came out of a mobile home and was a horrible match for my vintage vibe. The window from the dumpster was almost a perfect fit, and with the help of my carpenter it was a perfect window with wood grids that matched the rest of my farmhouse windows. What a blessing. If I had passed that dumpster and not looked inside I would of had to order a custom made window for the bathroom which would of been very expensive. I was finally inspired to move forward with my bathroom renovation. Let the demo begin !!! <br />

Further inspiration came days later when I spotted an amazing four and a half foot (hard to find) claw foot tub in an old barn. My bathroom is so tiny only a 4 1/2' tub would fit. Previously, this tub had been used as a gold fish pond for a dozen or so years and then retired yet again. It sat in the dark corner of a barn for many more years, waiting to be used and loved once again. It called out to me and once I sat in it, I was in love. I knew we were inseparable. The tubs owner was willing to barter with me. After all, I really didn't need my king size iron headboard anymore and I have wanted a claw foot tub forever, so it was a match made in heaven. Wahoo. It definitely needed some love and attention, okay a LOT of love and attention, both inside and out. It was refinished and then moved into my kitchen until the bathroom was ready for this big ole iron hunk of love. Who cares if I may have to tear a wall out to get in in the bathroom? I think I measured the doorway correctly??????<br />

I am a bath girl. I have never liked showers but was unsure about having just the tub option especially when washing my hair. I consulted with a friend that removed her shower from the master bathroom and installed a claw-foot tub instead. She washes her hair in the tub, with no problem and doesn't regret her remodeling choice. Since this tub is beyond comfortable I decided I too had no desire to have a shower option. I did choose plumbing that can later accommodate an extension pipe to allow it to be used as a shower as well as a tub should I change my mind.<br />
<br />
I decided to use real wood for the bathroom flooring. The farmhouse has it's original yellow pine plank flooring that is very hard to match with its aged patina. I decided to order plank flooring from Lowe's and because it was a tongue and groove plank it was a special order. They left it out in the rain and it was wrecked. I had to reorder a new batch. For my trouble they took a hundred bucks off of my new Koller toilet which was in my shopping cart and it was a total unexpected blessing. I wanted the flooring to look aged, so I did a stain, paint and top coat treatment on the boards to achieve a rustic farmhouse look and one I would not worry about when it gets dirty or scuffed up.<br />

I painted the ceiling and plank walls with several layers of paint. New updated plumbing, a new wall heater and an exhaust fan were installed before the floor planks were put down. That was the invitation for the claw foot tub to FINALLY leave my kitchen. That was a perfect reason for me to pause and do a happy dance. I must say, even though the tub was measured 101 times by myself and my installer, it didn't look like it would go thru the 25" doorway. I held my breath..To be continued. <br />

I've been detoxing from computer use lately and it has been wonderful. With no cell phone in my life and my home phone answering machine switched to the 'off' position it has been a great time to relax, rest, nest and nourish my soul. I thoroughly enjoy long bouts of solitude as I have begun to embrace and honor my 'loner' side, instead of trying to fix, fight or deny it. Winter is a perfect time for me to enjoy a slower pace of life with the welcomed quiet, short days of winter as well as the much sought after private time. For me, Christmas is a time of rest and relaxation, for the most part.<br />

I got my fill of 2017 Christmas decor back in Oct and Nov. Ah- the days when Christmas came after Thanksgiving. Not so anymore. It is just so over the top these days. I think Instagram held a contest for the most Christmas trees one could fit into their home. Seriously,, some homes have a tree in each room or at least a half a dozen trees in their home, and some have trees lined up 3-4 in a row like a department store or mall. But hey, I have not been in a mall in over a decade, but I can only imagine what one looks like these days. Okay, the 10 trees in the home trend, well ah- that just short circuited my holiday mood. Then I looked at a few more blogs the other day thinking that since the stores are already selling Valentines cards that blogs would be showcasing Valentine decor about now.. But pleasantly surprised the trees are still up on most posts. That will all change just a few hours if not minutes after Christmas.<br />

I went to church yesterday and I actually thought it was Christmas instead of today. Everyone was saying Merry Christmas. Oh wait, were supposed to say that for a whole month, I think? I love Jesus but the more I seriously think about and really consider the meaning and the origins of Christmas, well I am not a big fan of birthdays or pagan traditions that have been up cycled and costumed to trick people into believing they have something to do with the birth of Jesus. I am not condemning your way of acknowledging or celebrating the holiday but lets be clear... Christmas is clearly made up of pagan traditions, with a little Santa frosting on top. <br />

Yes, sometimes I decorate for a holiday and sometimes not. However, since I found out my artificial Yule / Christmas <a href="https://thesoftlanding.com/how-to-find-a-non-toxic-artificial-christmas-tree/" target="_blank">tree</a> is made of PVC and is off gassing toxins in my home as well as being filled with dangerous levels of lead, I have chosen to keep in in the shed this year. Did you know you should use gloves to put up and decorate an artificial tree? And small children should not touch the faux branches as well as the ornaments that have lead in the paint and are often made from PVC also. Now this information is certainly a holiday buzz kill for faux tree owners. Who knew? I know my Jewish friends and menorah owning gentiles don't worry about their menorahs being toxic.Hmmm- on second thought, I better check that out.<br />

I wanted to make sure I sent Jesus's birthday card on the right day and for the life of me, I cant seem to find any place in the bible where it mentions His birth DATE or where it tells Christians to celebrate his day of birth. <br />

The commercialism of this holiday seems crazy to me. I see so many people who experience self induced stress, as they overspend and try to fulfill other peoples wish lists. Don't worry if you mess up and buy something they don't like - it can be easily dumped in the landfill. Heck no one remembers what you bought them thirty days later anyway. I've seen stats that claim that 60 -75% of gifts are donated to
charities within a few months of receiving them. The environmental waste is astonishing. Did you know that most Christmas cards, and definitely those with glitter, as well as most wrapping paper (due to the toxic ink) is not able to be recycled? Just sayin..... <br />

Bringing it down to a very personal level - I have requested time and time and time and time again that my friends and family please not gift me with even more "stuff". ALL I WANT is to have my request honored. I live in a 560' square foot house now and more "stuff" NO MATTER WHAT IT IS, is not welcomed nor is it a happy thought for me. I am trying hard to downsize my life as well as my possessions. It is a never ending battle to get others to stop the 'gift giving' cycle. Downsizing, dumping and donating - is my mantra for 2018. Yet again, I request NO GIFTS PLEASE for holidays or birthdays. Some people tell me I should just say "thanks" and then donate or dump it. In the meantime the "stuff" sits in my car, collecting dog hair or taking up space in my home until I get it to it's final destination. I prefer to be honest and ask for these nice people to stop giving me more stuff. IT just doesn't seem to work, and it is very uncomfortable, stressful, irritating and awkward for me to be gifted yet again. I wish I could be heard, and not feel stressed out over one more thing coming into my home. My deep wish and plea is for no more gifts or possessions of any kind to come my way. Instead -Spaying or neutering an animal in my name or giving to my favorite charity would be wonderful and appreciated.<br />
<br />
I know some of you minimalists or those who live in tiny or small homes deal with this same issue and any advice is appreciated. It stresses me out to the max. HOW do I get this to stop? What is one to do in the case of compulsive givers who ignore my constant honest requests for no more stuff? Sigh.<br />

My eyes are burnt out after looking at forty two thousand online Christmas trees over the past couple of days. I mean y'all did some amazing and beautiful super size decorating in your homes this year. A bazillion lights shining so bright, right thru my computer screen at night. Holiday shout outs go to the folks who have been in long lines, fighting traffic, rushing about and digging through stores piles, zooming through aisles just to find what seems like the perfect gift. Please take time to rest now and enjoy what you created for your 'have it your way' kind of day.. Enjoy the day with your friends family in laws, outlaws, significant others, fur kids.or in the joy of solitude. <br />

As long as I can remember I have always hoped that Christmas would just zoom by. I do not like the expectations that everyone has of what I or others should be doing on that day. The more I study the bible, I find that there is not one reference for celebrating Christmas. That is because no matter how you dress it up or decorate, it is based on a pagan holiday. I do not believe it is a salvation issue. However I also have to ask myself "Does this man made observance of Christmas please my Heavenly Father?" And (for me) I would have to say "no". Will I go to hell for putting up a Christmas tree and decorating my home once again? - I do not believe so. I believe God extends much grace our way. Sometimes we Christians are able to lead unbelievers to Christ and salvation because of the Christmas story. That is a beautiful thing. Critical, rejecting spirit brings antagonism towards both the messenger and the message. May God Bless you and Merry Christmas. I am not here to rain on your holiday.. Just sharing my thoughts and ideas here.<br />

<br />
As a child I remember the time when my mom revealed to me that she had made up stories about Santa and that she and dad were actually Santa. I immediately realized that I had been lied to for many years. My mother always told me to tell her the truth when she interrogated me. So, the Santa thing didn't set well with me. I guess some kids didn't take the Santa lie so hard, once they realized the truth. Heck, as long as their supply of gifts kept coming in, what was the big deal? I had been deceived by my mother and now questioned what other lies she might be keeping, living or telling. Years later, some whopper lies came to the surface. That is another story.<br />
<br />
Now I know that most (or maybe not most?) kids do okay with the Santa experience but for deep thinking, inquisitive kids like me..It was a huge deal to find out Santa was not real and mom was a liar. I ended up hating Santa images, statues and Santa decorations, just like some people don't like scary clowns. To this day I dislike anything Santa. Just another little side-note to a holiday that holds some odd memories for me. Christmas has always been a questionable and strange and confusing holiday in my book. And now, even more so as a Christian. Like - why don't churches have Christmas service today it it's supposed to be a Christian holiday? The confusion for me comes because it is a man made secular holiday, birthed from Paganism, dressed in baubles, glitter, consumerism, stories that hold no truth and lots of expectations. This is not to minimize the wonderful memories you may have or Christmas or the way you celebrate it. After all it is the most wonderful time of year for somebody. And I hope that somebody might be you. <br />

So here we are. You never know what you are gong to get when you come over my way, to this blog. A very different post from my <a href="http://shabbychictinyretreat.blogspot.com/2016/12/snowflakes-appear-for-holiday-cheer.html?showComment=1482722181739#c6333661335613941998" target="_blank">Snowflake</a> themed home and yes tree, last year. This season these are just some of the things that have been on my mind. Just keeping it real folks. <br />
<br />
One holiday blog post stuck out in my mind above the rest this Christmas season. The tree and home are both beautiful, festive and VERY calming. It's is my favorite holiday post this year and definitely my favorite tree. Why? - it is not a fancy tree that is falling over with trending ornaments, but it simply beautiful and so refreshing in a world of over the top trees that look near to catching on fire due to all the lights on them if they don't tip over first from the weight of the baubles on them. It is unique and peaceful and not over done. It is grand in its simplicity and it is a statement to me. A decorated tree that makes one think, one that sticks in my mind and so I am sharing it with you below. If simple sea washed beauty speaks to you go visit <a href="https://seacottage.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">the Sea cottage </a>blog. Her home, photography and art are stunning.<br />

To my enlightened Christian friends, and to my Jewish friends who both observe Hanukah, well y'all got it going on as far as Biblical holidays. You can now see why so many are so stressed out at Christmas time, can't you? Shalom.<br />

A good laugh no matter the day is great for the heart. Merry Christmas<br />
<br />
It is never too late to have a happy childhood, (once you recover from the Santa is a lie drama) . ha-ha..ha... Oh, wait.. it's supposed to be - Ho, Ho, Ho. NOT. <br />

Blessings,<br />
