I love ceramic birds and vintage pictures of birds. I scored two wonderful cardinal pictures at Goodwill last week for cheap, cheap, cheap.
I've been in the vintage zone. My Papa continues to have very serious heart problems and also has cancer. When I am troubled, I nest. The more upset I am, the better my house looks. Sometimes, I even fix things up at a friend's house.
If my tile grout in my bathroom is sparkling, if the baseboards are pristine, and there are new treasures peaking out here and there, something difficult is happening in my life. I seem full of nervous energy, so rather than being anxious and worrying, I put the energy into being productive and making something beautiful. I can't fix the difficult situation, God will do that, but I CAN make my surroundings better. This always picks up my spirits and takes my mind off the problem.
