Now girls,
I have a surprise for you!! I decided to change my kitchen curtains and make a new dispaly in one of our kitchen windows. I feel that it is colonial/prim at the same time. I love it so much that I keep going into the kitchen just to look at it. Silly me... Please give me your honest opinions, and let me know. I would love for you to comment on your thoughts, just in case I should tweek it.
Here is my New Display Below
Monday morning, we will be at the Boston Marathon, as it starts here in town. Mr. Hillcrest has VIP passes for the starting line for our whole family, which he gets every year. Our friend Teddy Bruschi, who was a New England Patriots Linebacker now retired, will be sitting with us in the stands, as well as some other Hollywood bigshots who will be running. I hope they all show up, I know I will. I am just so excited, and will be posting the adventure this week with LOTS of pics.
Until next time,
Love to all my Prims,
Blessings,
Tricia
P.S. Try the cheesecake and let me know how you like it.

I am looking forward to trying the recipe. I love your curtians. It looks so nice with the punched tin light hanging. Tweaking is so much fun that you won't be able to resistbut it looks great just the way it is.
ReplyDelete"Makes 16 servings (unless you really like it) - oh, I love that!! It would be a true miracle if I got 16 servings out of this divine recipe in my home!!
ReplyDeleteYour curtains and display is so alluring...no tweaking necessary!!
OMG....Teddy Bruschi (be still my heart!)... devoted Patriots fan here in RI! Have a great time Tricia. ~.~
P.S. Is there any update as to the coverlet table squares you mentioned ordering for your new store? Seeing your own on your table in your previous post makes me realize how anxious I am to getting one for mine!
A-O-K on your kitchen window deco. I'm always looking to change mine around for a better look, oh boy =] Enjoy the marathon! Hugs~Carol
