Paint and a Purchase

Okay, so I was going to share the paint color

with you on this post, I know.

The rain finally stopped late last night and today,

we got a gorgeous day of warm sunshine.

Even though it was in the low 50's,

those rays of warmth felt so good!

So today, we decided to let the house dry out a little.

Unfortunately, some areas we painted the other day 

 did not dry before we got the rain

(painted too late in the day)

so we'll have to go back and fix that

and continue on!

I'll be painting trim and windows tomorrow

so I can get the cotton pickin' paper

 off the glass because 

I am a LET THE LIGHT IN, kind of gal.

~During my rainy day down time,

I was looking for some new blogs to follow and 

found

Farmhouse 5540.

I love her style and noticed she has an Etsy.

Guess where I went and

guess what I did?

Oh yes I did.

Here's what I bought:

... as a set, even!

I could not resist the colors and

I cannot wait to get it all!

{The cost for these lovelies? A mere $80!}

Although I do not know exactly where these goodies

are going to be used, this was not a compulsive purchase.

For the past few days, 

I thought about it, 

checked on it (a bunch of times) 

to make sure it hadn't sold and finally decided that 

even if I don't use these items now,

I know I will one day in the not-too-far future.

I knew I would have regrets if I didn't get them 

and am so glad I did. Now, I am eagerly 

awaiting the email saying 

'They've Shipped'

{although I know it's gonna be a while since

they're shipping from PA and she might be without power right now}.

Let's hope not.

Okay, so if you head over to Farmhouse Supply,

don't buy the 

1. farmhouse baskets

 2. the silver salt and pepper shakers

3. the white ironstone pitchers and candlesticks, or

4. the white pillows, K?

I have dibs on those.  ;)

See ya soon with some pictures of 

the HOUSE!
