I've just been going to town moving stuff and then dusting and rearranging my pretties! Whew! That'll poop you out. So guess what I decided to do? PLAY!
Did I tell you I have more fish jugs! Yep, I do!
Be a bunch of sweeties,
Shelia ;)
I'll leave you with a little Note Song~
Play Me
She was morning
And I was night time
I one day woke up
To find her lying
Beside my bed
I softly said
Come take me
For Ive been lonely
In need of someone
As though Id done
Someone wrong somewhere
I dont know where
Come lately
You are the sun
I am the moon
You are the words
I am the tune
Play me
Song she sang to me
Song she brang to me
Words that rang in me
Rhyme that sprang from me
Warmed the night
And what was right
Became me
You are the sun
I am the moon
You are the words
I am the tune
Play me
And so it was
That I came to travel
Upon the road
That was thorned and narrow
Another place
Another grace
Would save me
You are the sun
I am the moon
You are the words
I am the tune
Play me

Good morning Shelia. I always call the messy cleaning stage "worse before better". If definitely goes that way. Your mantel looks pretty!
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia, your fishy jugs look so pretty hurling, I mean "holding", those daisies. lol
ReplyDeleteYou are a silly girl to not notice that the handle spelled out Peace until you were taking the photo, sounds like something I'd do.
Stay Silly, Mrs. B. Silly
You silly, silly, girl..I wouldn't have noticed the PEACE, either, I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteI have seen these little fish jugs all over Blogland...do I need to find some? I believe I do, indeed...
Thanks for sharing...they look so pretty on your mantel.
A distraction is just what you needed! Your mantel looks so fresh. You are right. One of the sad truths of life is that things often get worse before they get better--as in messes! Love those "holding" fish pitchers!
ReplyDeleteMorning Shelia~
ReplyDeleteYour mantle is perfect for gulf coast living in the spring time. :) We have dried out some; just a few sprinkles yesterday but the ground is so saturated I have to wear my pink rain boots to feed the birds in the yard...lol.
Hope your day is extra beautiful!

Variety is the spice of life, and your mantle looks fresh and pretty.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh Shelia...I love your fish jugs! Thanks for showing us how pretty they look on your mantel! Now I am out to find some!!! Are they the new Target birdies???...hugs...Debbie
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia,
ReplyDeleteA little play is always fun...but looks like you accomplished something with your play!
Your mantle looks fantastic!

Your fish jugs and your humor what a nice way to start the day!

Good morning sweet Shelia :)
ReplyDeleteYour mantel looks darling with all your fish jugs up there. I think it's wonderful that you stopped to play. Everyone needs to have a little fun ;)
Oh and Rich never knows what he'll come home to next either. It's my way of keeping him on his toes LOL
hugs,

Shelia:
ReplyDeleteGood Morning. Before last week I had never heard of these fish vases. Yours are really cute and your mantle looks really great. I know what you mean about cleaning making a mess. We are redecorating our bedroom and our whole house is in turmoil.
The Raggedy Girl
Love the mantle...and anyone can hurl flowers my way!!!
ReplyDeleteSometimes it does me a lot of good to just "play!" The fish look adorable in a group and I'm glad things are settling down a bit for you. It's nice to see you post again.
ReplyDeleteYour mantel is so pretty with the fish jugs, Shelia!
ReplyDeleteI love those fish vases! Where do you find them? You have such a lovely home Sheila and you are such a wonderful decorator. I wish I had your talent for that! Thanks for sharing and taking us with you on your playful rest.
ReplyDeleteHi there!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for thinking of us and visiting!! I just had to stop by and see your "hurling"...oops, NOT "hurling" fish jugs!!! How precious.
We're having a GREAT time...and it's almost over!! ;-(
That is very cute - and looks like Spring! So glad you posted it.
ReplyDeleteIs your Mom adjusting well to her new place?
Hugs to you. Ruthie
If playing gets this kind of impact then I need to play more.
ReplyDeleteThese are so awesome and it looks so beautiful with the flowers.

They are precious! ~CC Catherine (I seen you entered my BLOG GIVEAWAY...goodie for you~) ;) Send people over to sign up! ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia!
ReplyDeleteYou can't do cleanup without first doing the breakdown part! It goes with the territory.
Be patient; the mess will wait for you --it always does. :-)
As for the fish jugs, you know I love them but honey, I have gutted fish, and I know for certain that they would definitely NOT hurl flowers if they were going to hurl! that is not at all what is inbside FISH. Haha...
I think the flowers look great, and now I'm on a quest for fish jugs -- love them!
Cass
Hehe! Love the fish jugs! Especially the peace one. I like how you arranged them on your mantle! :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best,
Allison
Hi Sheila,
ReplyDeleteFirst visit to your blog, I don't know if I have every seen a fish jug before? What a great way to display your collection. Your mantel turned out great.
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Shelia,
ReplyDeleteThe fish Jugs are really cute....I like them....and I know Hubby will like them...I love the fresh flowers in them...or faux...it really doesn't matter now a days....they all look so real...
Hugs,
Mo ;-)
Your mantel looks great Shelia. I love those little fish jugs....so pretty.... I also love the new look of your blog. Very pretty. I hope you are getting some rest and are having a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauties! Fishes and your blog-home!
ReplyDeleteYou always inspiring me, dear Shelia!
Blessings!
Your jugs look great on the mantle!! :) I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself!!
ReplyDeleteI just laughed over the hurling references! Yep, they look a bit like they were doing that, but NO self respecting FISH jug would do that in YOUR house. Especially since they have such a premium display spot!!!
Hope your mom is liking her new home--I'm certain she loves having you so near!
Have a great rest of the week and keep an eye on that starfish! L, Dana
Hello dear Shelia; I love those great looking fish jugs. They look so pretty there with the flowers.
ReplyDeleteHugs;
Alaura
I would never dream of saying that your fish jugs are hurling Shelia--they look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYou have quite a charming collection there. I have never seen a fish mug, but I really do like them. I think you need to rest anyway, it is so much more fun to play than clean!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you got more fish jugs! Cool! They look pretty up there on the mantel.
ReplyDeleteKady
Shelia, I'm checking in from bloggy break to drop by and say, "I LOVE those fishies!" Oh, how cute! And perfect for summer!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Sheila :-)
OMG, I'm glad you had fun playing, because this looks FABULOUS!!!!! It's so light and springy! Love it!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJustiney :o )
Oh my all that food is so yummy looking! I want to come live with you LOL. You had a nicer Easter setup than I did! I just love those plates they are so sweet. Hey guess what I saw at a flea market today?! A gurgling fish jug! LOL I thought of you :)
