I have my angel Mother's pink roses china inside of it... and I think some green or white pottery on top, with MY RABBIT!!!!!!, WILL BE PERFECT! -- I love the vine you have as well... I think I'm going to do something just like yours. I also have another ugly- painted hutch in my bedroom. I'm thinking about painting it... but can't decide what color because I also want to paint the whole bedroom. I like your black hutch... but can't decide to go black... or shabby white? Any suggestions to figure out what to do?<BR/>LeaLeaon Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11607074617435192744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290257839007576851.post-40777138076869901972009-01-11T02:56:00.000-06:002009-01-11T02:56:00.000-06:00Looks great to me...I'm all for the faux greenery!...Looks great to me...I'm all for the faux greenery!

Oh my...what would I do without all of my dear, sweet friends? You know, I was just telling Russell about all of the notes, emails, etc. that I had received from everyone...I know that we haven't met "face to face" but you're just the dearest friend ever...I can't imagine our friendship being any sweeter!!! I decided I'm throwing out the term "virtual friends" (it sounds so cold)...you and the girls are so much more to me than that!!! Anyway, thank you so much for all of your love & prayers...we sure have felt them!!!<BR/><BR/>I finally had more of a chance to rest today...besides writing Thank you notes, etc. I'm just pooped, Girlfriend! Please keep those prayers coming our way! Even though Russell has a brother, Dad's entire estate will be up to us to take care...we're just so overwhelmed right now! I keep trying to remind myself...just "one day at a time"!<BR/><BR/>Well my friend, I'm so glad that you got your internet back up and running and I see that they finally got your carpet laid (about time, huh?) I know it's been frustrating for you...so I'm sure that you're feeling better at getting all that finished! I can't wait to see the before and after photos...hehe!!! <BR/><BR/>Thank you again, Lynne!!!<BR/>Love you so much,<BR/>Chari<BR/>PS...oh, hehe...you know that I'm a faux greenery gal...I love the real thing but realistically it just won't live everywhere we'd like to have some greenery!

The bunny is adorable, so realistic looking and all those soothing colors around him just make him all the more appealing like he is nestling in a garden somewhere. Love the plates too, and what a great idea with the liquid scratch polish- I have some of that! I agree with you on the faux flowers. I can't buy fresh flowers every week and I can barely keep my few houseplants going. Besides the faux they sell nowadays looks great. We don't do the plastic flowers that they stick in jars at Truckstop restaurants! These are expensive, realistic little touches to add to the whole picture, right? :) Well I read that your got new carpet installed! Yay! Have fun putting everything back together.

I know your shoppe is just lovely and your customers must love it so much.<BR/><BR/>On the artichoke plate I meant love the lattice work design around it. I'm not sure why I said shape before. I think I was getting tired....:)<BR/>Love the green large vase too.<BR/><BR/>My dad is having some more issues as of this past week. It's been a stuggle getting him to talk about it though. Even my poor Mom is confused. I'm far away from Florids so it's hard for me to do much. My sister Monica lives a street over from them so it falls on her and her families shoulders right now. It's getting sad and scary. I'll keep you posted.<BR/>I do appreciate your kindness.
