The house I grew up in had hardwood floors in the living room covered with a large braided rug. My brother and I sat on this rug while we watched television. We had picnics on that rug when the weather was too bad to go outside. I remember stringing cranberries and popcorn for our Christmas tree on while sitting on that rug. Having so many fond memories of that room, I was excited to find these braided hand-hooked 100% cotton rugs. The rug patterns range from folk art Americana to nautical motif to hints of country Amish to outdoor fall scenes. These 100% cotton braided hand-hooked rugs also have matching braided chair pads. The rugs measure 36 inches in diameter so they are perfect for a hearth, kitchen, or under a small lamp table. It always surprises me how even the smallest accessory really adds a personal touch to your home. I wish the rug I remember had been cotton; wool isn’t very forgiving on your bum!

C and F Enterprises Magnolia Quilt Ensemble
If you have never been to the southern United States and seen a magnolia tree, you are missing a thing of beauty. The leaves are dark green with a waxy coat for water retention and the blooms are large, creamy white fragrant petals with a buttercup-colored, pinecone-like center. C and F Enterprises has masterfully created this beautiful flower in their Magnolia quilt ensemble. Magnolia is a southern floral traditional quilt. The bedding is reversible with the underside having the same striped greens and berries as the dust ruffle (bedskirt), euro shams, valance, and accent pillows. The quilt is 100% cotton, oversized and prewashed to reduce shrinking and color fading. The standard shams and draperies are the same magnolia floral pattern as the quilt face. Use the throw and accent pillows to decorate a quilt chest or rocking chair and give your bedroom a real flavor of the old south. A wool hooked rug completes the ensemble. I think I’ll go out on the veranda for a mint julep. Ya’ll come by for a visit, Lisa JT6HBCZRXC29
Retro Humorous Sayings Kitchen Towel Sets
Growing up in the mid-west, I became a big fan of retro kitchen linens. I always go “treasure” hunting in antique stores when I visit my dad. I think that’s why I love these retro humorous sayings kitchen towel sets. They remind me of the 1950′s. Drink coffee…. do stupid things faster with more energy! That’s how most of us get through the day, isn’t it? Humurous sayings kitchen sets include two 17 x 31 inch silkscreened towels and two 8.5 x 9.5 inch potholders. The potholders are backed with a heat resistant silver cloth for safety. What a great gift for your friends! With their retro design and humurous sayings, they will make anyone chuckle!
