~simple swedish decor~

Hello there!!

I didn't make it for my Monday post....

I was buried in linen & grainsacks....

my life is a little  i.n.s.a.n.e. right now

filling orders in the Linen Shoppe

we are a "2 man" show but even with my

super ninja sewing girl......I have been swamped with

cutting, image transfers, & everything else that

goes with running a business....

I do feel very grateful for my little business though,

and thank you all for your support :)

due to my current state of craziness,

I think I'm leaning towards a more simple

look for Christmas this year....

I really like this home ~ and it's simple

touches of Christmas here & there...

I have to tell you though ~

the notion of decorating my kid's rooms

flew right out the window when my little Allie

(well not so little...age 11)

was so excited to show me the lights she

put up in her room......

she was begging me to come look....

uh oh...I'm thinking in my blogging brain....

.....and here's what my little sweets came up with....

oh, you like the JB poster???

no, it's not for sale....don't even think about it!! lol...

so I walk in & she's got a very nice string

of lights starting from her doorway ~

across her closet....

to the top of her dresser~

and bed....to the JB poster & beyond....

and the best part??

the special fashion in which she attached

them to the walls....

yep, that would be priority mail tape...

.....such a nice touch....;)

hee hee....

what to do ... what to do....

I kissed her on the forehead & tucked her into

bed and told her it was beautiful....

walked out of the room and thought

okie dokie.....

guess I won't be showing that on the ol'

decorating blog...hee hee hee

 these are the moments to remember huh?

would you like a little more eye candy?

{and not the 11 year old variety!)

I love these yummy drapes....

with the simple wreaths tied w/ ribbon...

and the look on this kitty's face is so funny!

like...what are you doing????

love this little chandy....

that would probably be easy to make huh?

well sorta....ok, not so much but I bet

there's some amazing blogger girls

who could whip it up in an hour or so!

btw...where do these very cooperative

kiddos come from?

you know the ones who don't put up

JB posters?

or green strings of Christmas lights?

oh I'm only kidding.....I love love love

my kiddos & their amazing decorating

talent.....;)

Hope you're having a great week!!

xoxo,

Shellagh
