Hello my friends! I hope that you are all having a wonderful start to this week! Some of you are busy preparing for Thanksgiving and hopefully you are all able to spend some time with loved ones!
I just wanted to thank you again for all your support and comments of friendship and inspiration! I am so happy to have started blogging and even happier that I have met all of you!!
~HUGS~
I truly wish I could get everyone of you something!
I am happy to announce that the winner of my "A BIG
THANK YOU" giveaway is
Shari does custom blog designs and is so talented! Her blog is full of beautiful inspirations!
Congrats!!!
Just send me an email with your address and I will get that to you!
Thank You!!!
I am finished decorating my Dining area/kitchen!
I went with simple, natural and soft colors with pops of red here and there!
I showed you some of my kitchen decor here, with my red skates and trees!
My beautiful scale that my wonderful friend Tracy gave to me is now decorated with evergreens, white tipped pine cones and sparkly white pine cones!
A larger view of my little vignette from here.
I just added some evergreen branches to my hutch along with a wreath and a few of my favorites from Christmas's past.
(I think that I need a bigger wreath)
The little thing in front of the picture is actually a small frame that holds three pictures. I painted it black, put some coffee filters in and then put small glass votives on top of those to add a little texture!
I purchased the lace table runner a long time ago and haven't used it until now!
Also, today is my birthday, 37 years young!
I have to say that in those years I have survived my big brother tormenting me, school, many jobs, childbirth, surgeries including two heart attacks and open heart, trying to raise two wonderful children, 14 years of marriage (and still going strong) and of course all the wonderful things that life throws at me on a day to day basis!
However,
nothing has prepared me for
THIS!!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually it is the third one that I have found this year (yes I am counting).
Might have to go buy a little box-o-color!!!

Happy Birthday! I sure hope you are treating yourself to something extra special today!
Your decorations are so pretty. I just love the scale all decked out!
Hi Michelle! I hope you had a very Happy, Happy Birthday! I wouldn't give those three gray hairs a second thought, you look gorgeous. My hair started turning gray when I was 25...ugh. BTW, I love your scale with the evergreens. Hope you have a nice Thanksgiving.
Your dining room is GORGEOUS! So comfortable and inviting.
I know what finding the first grey hair is all about! I managed to make it to 47 without a grey, but I found one this year too. Ahh well, embrace it!
Happy Belated Birthday, Michelle! Hope your day was great! :-) Your house looks lovely all dressed up for the holidays! ~Iris~
Hey girl! I don't know how I missed this post but I want to wish you a VERY Happy Birthday!!! You are such a lovely woman inside and out and it has been a true pleasure and blessing getting to know you here in blogland! And as far as the gray hair goes, I'm turning 35 soon and have found WAAAYYY more than that so I think you are doing pretty good, my friend! :-)
I hope you have a fabulous rest of your Holiday week!
Blessings,
Vanessa
Hey Michelle!

I am really liking your dining area decor. The greens with the whites - very striking! Gray hairs aren't worth stressing over - truly. And after all you have survived - you probably know that. Happy Birthday!
Happy belated B-day and Happy early Thanksgiving:) Your house is lovely. Don’t miss the give-a-ways, linky party and Bavarian Christmas starting 26 Nov! http://dobermans-by-the-sea.blogspot.com/
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHELLE!!!!!!! I am late wishing you a happy birthday- I apologize- I am catching up ... you are gorgeous girl and you look mahvelous- so forget about that gray! I am loving your space- the scale and the delightful white tree, everything... your rooms look so beautiful and warm already. Happy Thanksgiving too! :)
Happy Birthday Michelle! Love the Christmas decorating. The scale, the little white tree...everything. I'm a new follower now!

I missed this post, but I hope you had a wonderful birthday. By the way, you have beautiful skin and you look really young! Three gray hairs is not much to worry about :)
Your house is so beautiful! I love your laid back, casual, yet chic style!
I love the white tree in the galvanized bucket and the hutch looks fabulous with all the greenery tucked in. I also like the mini wreath with the pinecones - it is perfect for the hutch. I think I want to make a couple of little wreaths like that to hang in my windows!
Happy Belated Birthday! Two heart attacks and open heart surgery? You look incredible! My mother is 84 and has never grayed...however, I seem to be taking after my dad :-)
Blessings,
Marcia
Ohmigoodness Michelle, I have been so crazy busy and not doing much blog surfing and I missed this post about your birthday! I'm sorry this is late, but Happy Birthday to you!! Finding 3 grey hairs would make my day....I have about 3000! Nothing Loreal can't fix!! LOL
Love that white tree in the tin bucket!! That room looks so inviting!
Happy holiday decorating!!

I too have been a bad blogger lately. So many other things are pulling my attention right now. But I feel terrible I missed your birthday.
You are truly beautiful inside and out Michelle. I am so blessed to have met you in blogland. I have about 13 years on you my sweet friend and much more than 3 gray hairs! I'm blond so it didn't show too much until a couple years ago. Now Loreal Excellence to Go is my friend LOL!
I hope this coming year is a wonderful year, full of blessings, love and lots of fun projects!
Oh I missed your Birthday. Happy belated. You look so young! But you are 7 yrs. younger than me. tee hee...You are so beautiful. Thank you for all your faithful visits to Sea Cottage. Every comment you leave means so much! I have been a terrible blog visitor this Autumn. I just needed to cut back and spend more time doing my 'job'...Homemaker.
I lOvE your sweet lil Country tree. I thought I found a good deal with the 6 ft. Target tree for $20. But you did alot better. I've been decorating today too...which I will probably post about this week.
Have a beautiful beginning of December. ox`kerrie
i love your blog!! These rooms are so cozy chic! Just came over from Shari at Little Blue Deer. You're going right onto my blog roll!
