NOW,

I hope everyone had a great weekend!! It finally turned cold here Friday night and we were able to get a nice warm fire in the fireplace last night along with one of my favorites, white chicken chili!!!!

Ahhhhhh!

mmmmmmmm........

Also, I told you that I would reveal my little tease that I left you with last Thursday.

Well, I lied,

a little.

I haven't finished it completely yet and wasn't able to do what I wanted this weekend but I will give you another little tease!

See, I am a nice girl!

I wanted to show you my drift wood curtain rod!

I found this great piece in Glen Lake this summer and haven't been able to find the right spot for it until now!

I simply mounted the drift wood on the trim above the window,

screwed in little hooks and cut small slits in the cheese cloth that I had left over and hung it on the hooks!!

Simple and it makes me smile from memories of this summer!

Hopefully I will be able to finish up this week, but we will see how the week unfolds!

Tomorrow I will show you my find from Sundays flea market trip!

(I will be linking up to the parties in my 'Linky Parties' tab on the top of the blog!)

Simple Curtains

A while back I was at Target and saw these great cotton napkins from their Shabby Chic line. I had to have them! However, the idea that came to mind was not to use them for dining (I have a four year old, pretty things don't stay that way too long around him) but rather to use them as cafe style curtains in my bathroom. So with a silver-colored rod and small metal drapery rings, I had my curtains!! They are great because I don't get a lot of sunlight through that window but still need a little privacy (it is the bathroom) and these worked perfect! The best part is that they are easy to change out without the price of new curtains. I can find cotton napkins almost anywhere and there are so many colors, designs and styles to choose from!

End result!!! (sorry the picture is so dark, still refining my photography skills :) )

Above are beautiful handkerchiefs, napkins and linen towels from Isola Bella. This is a must see shop and check out her blog as well for other great ideas!
