ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is so fresh and gorgeous with the new paint and all your touches. Love it.

ReplyDeleteBoy does that look good!! Enjoyed looking at your blog, seems we have a lot of the same interests. I try and get to the thrift store a couple times a week and always seem to find lots of good stuff, don't know sometimes what people are thinking giving the stuff away. Well good for me anyway.It was fun looking at all your things. I get Romantic homes magazine too, just wish it was a lot bigger, I always finish it to fast.

ReplyDeleteOh goodness, that looks delightful!! And you didn't use a boxed pudding mix like I might have done (LOL) That part is even more amazing to me. Home made pudding. Not from a box. WOW!!!
