Things In Snootyville Are Really Looking Up..... Aside From No Rain

 I just finished making my new kitchen window treatments as well as re-covering the chair seats at the kitchen table. It took me forever to decide what style I wanted to go with and ultimately decided on a faux Roman shade with ties. I didn't have enough of the flowered fabric for the windows so I found some material with a subtle plaid that went perfectly with the flowered material, adding an extra piece of the flowered to kind of tie it all together. Frankly, I really am crazy about the results. I can't believe they look so great and I DID THEM WITH WITH ONLY A GLUE GUN & A STAPLE GUN. Yay me! Tell me what you think...
 

When our best friends bought their new house, they replaced all of the brand new ceiling fans and replaced them with some incredibly beautiful (modern retro) fans. When they said they were going to throw away the others is when I asked if we could have them and they were thrilled to not be throwing them in the trash. Today, the electrician came to install the 3 fans and I'm so thrilled with them I could almost cry. All 3 fans are Hunters which are the best, in my opinion. Now, after 25 years, we have new fans that look absolutely splendid and they only cost us the price we paid the electrician. How sweet is that?

 

On another note, we still haven't had ANY rain and it's 106 degrees as I write this. When I went out to water the plants today (which is becoming a daily requirement), I thought I was going to faint. This heat is miserable and it isn't even officially summer yet. Can we please have a collective "Ugh!"? I can't help but wonder when nature is going to take pity on us and shed some rain on our parched land. I'm just thankful that we have a water well or we'd be knee deep in doo-doo.....
