Our Winter Valance

We've had this apple valance for a while now

It's the one we put up for the winter after the

Christmas one comes down.

Like all our other valances it was designed by 

Sam's coworker friend Eden.

Sam and I found the fabric at Walmart,

it came in three different apple patterns.

Eden also made pillows for the window bench,

check out the cool little

apple basket buttons.

 

She also created a table runner for the buffet.

We found the apple cookie jar at Mervin's.

I found the mouth watering chocolate cake, 

cake safe at Marshall's.

Up on the hutch we find a new  

salt and pepper set from Fitz and Floyd.

I saw the set on Ebay and it reminded me

of The Cracker Barrel restaurant with its 

country rocking chairs and barrels.

Sam won it for my birthday.

We also have a great little apple wreath 

above the hutch.

We found it at Michael's and added the 

blue checked ribbon to match the valance.

Here on the table, are Eden's double sided place mats. 

The table is full of my cover letters and resumés.

I lost my tee shirt job this January when the shop

was closed, sold and moved.  

The new owner didn't want an in-house artist.

Know anyone who needs a Corel Draw artist?

The day after I lost my job was my birthday!

Sam treated me to a "Despicable Me" 

Minions cake to cheer me up! 

 It did!

 Elvis and I both got a hair cut this month.

Mines for job interviews.

Thanks for stopping by

and happy hunting!
