That wooden flag looks like something my aunt would have in her home. :) I love it. My hubs gets into looking at houses and that silly show Cribs sometimes. I never can watch things like that…I want too much and can’t have right now. LOL Someday I’ll have freed up cash to buy what I WANT…for now, though? We’re just keeping up enough of the house for the kids to have a place and things in it to destroy. After they get big and move out, I get what I want.

I’m blog hopping today. Happy Friday!

15 Kelley July 30, 2010 at 8:34 pm

You’re in my thoughts!
Safe travels!

Layla
