Being sick for so long really is depressing. I must be sick if I am not the computer. LOL<br />Your vignette is wonderful...refreshing with the green apples in the bowl and the bird cage is adorable. Thanks for posting pics of Ikea. I need to get in there and have a look around.<br />I am glad your back is better. Take care of yourself.

It feels so good to have escaped my prison walls for the day, but I have to travel again this morning which makes me tired at the prospect. LOL! Just wanted to hop by here and visit you first. No news from here. The weather is chilly, but I love the temps during the day. Sunny and pretty, though we've had some rain. <br /><br />Heading to Central FL today to do lunch tonorrow with friends and to do PigFest this weekend. Wish you were here to go eat BBQ. <br /><br />XO,<br /><br />Sheila :-)The Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-70223342806246877982011-01-24T03:55:25.954-06:002011-01-24T03:55:25.954-06:00Hey Jane,

I understand too the need to shop and get new clothes for future trips. I do that all of the time. I think, if we go to a resort in Mexico I need flowy light fabrics that still cover the body or if we go to NY, I need sophisticated black clothes with artfully arranged scarves. I should have gone into clothing design. Sheesh. But it is the creative gene that keeps us going with our houses and our clothes. And with me, cooking too. Stay warm and enjoy planning those guest bedrooms.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02457380718488241980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-73936736664898165002011-01-23T14:53:33.107-06:002011-01-23T14:53:33.107-06:00HI Jane!

Yesterday I almost picked up a bunch of gerber daisies at the market...guess spring feaver has already struck! We talked about England this year too...I love that jolly place & would love to take our kids...but we are looking at renovating the kitchen (gutting more like it!), so England will have to wait! Will you be going for the wedding Jane :) I've never been to Greece, but it's on my list of places to go...of course if you head to the British museum, you'll see all of those fabulous artifacts from Greece, so, it would be like you went to both countries...kind of!! ha!<br />I'm sure you'll have fun, whatever you two decide!!<br />Have a great week Jane!The Summer Kitchen Girlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14705922236211577732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-57877868174860494372011-01-23T09:45:23.667-06:002011-01-23T09:45:23.667-06:00Hi Jane!

Target doesn't know what hit it when I get there...lol! I hope you're able to get out soon. Your new chandi is gorgeous and I love the color in your dining nook. Your travel plans sound amazing, too.

I am excited to hear about where you will go, both England and a Greek cruise sound wonderful. How about a Mediterranean cruise visiting several countries? You sound just like me when it comes to shopping.
