Show and Tell Friday...

Today is Show and Tell over at There Is No Place Like Home.

Every house where love abides
And friendship is a guest,
Is surely home, and home sweet home
For there the heart can rest.
~Henry Van Dyke

I want to show you some treasures I found this week! I attended a Southern Living at Home party earlier in the week and the director who was hosting the party had this B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L fireplace screen for sale at a deep discount! It is new to the fall catalog so I got a steal with the discount! You cannot really tell from the picture, but my bricks stair step down and the screen fits in like it was made for the space under the lowest line of bricks!

At the same party, there was a drawing for a beautiful painted Gail Pittman Urn. My Aunt attended the party with me and she WON IT! Then, she gave it to me!!! What a great Aunt!!!! My new dining furniture is due to be delivered in a week or so and I am so excited to see how this is going to look displayed on the buffet/hutch with some pine boughs in it adorned with ornaments!

I found a few more treasures this past week that I just could not pass up. I am creating a family portrait wall between our entry and family room. I found a great wall plaque at deep discount while at Hobby Lobby. I paid...wait for it...$3 for this beauty! I LOVE what it says: Family: All Because Two People Fell In Love.

Then while at JoAnn's I came across this little goodie. It says: Family, One of God's Masterpieces. Again, found it on deep discount (the only way to shop!)

I hope you enjoyed some of my finds this week. I love decorating our home and it always thrills me to find items that really speak to me and make our home a warm and welcoming place for our family to come back to after a day of work or school!
