Hooked on Beehives....

For this Hooked on post, I thought I would share this

odd collection of mine. For some reason a few years ago....

well, actually more like about 8 yrs ago....

(does that mean it is time for a change?)

Anyway, I saw this cute border....

I thought it was cute anyway!

I fell in LOVE with it!
The previous owners had painted this half bath

pale lavender and where I have the border they had painted

everyone in their families names....

in Indian. Now, I am told I have some Indian in me too,

BUT, these words that I could not read, meant nothing to me

and the lavender....had to go! Not in my color wheel....

for this room anyway!

So, with that came decorating time!
We have these really high ceilings in our home

because it is an older home. So, my husband found about

4 real Beehives with the twigs still connected in an antique store and he

bought them and we hung them in our bathroom.
Odd, I know!

But they're Bee~less!!

I saw this rusty Beehive and of course had to have it....

And then I saw this pattern....

and of course had to stitch it!

And you know it's the little touches that count....

A Beehive Lady to watch over the hives....

and of course her little Beehive purse!

This little chair is the cutest thing....

On the seat is the sweetest quote....

To Make A Prairie It Takes

A Clover And One Bee

Emily Dickinson 1830-1886

And I saw this Primitive Bee Angel....

and she had to be included.

So that is just a sample of my Beehive collection!

Do any of you have an odd collection?

If so, I hope you share it sometime!

Hooked on Signs....

This is my first time doing this post. From

Julia's Blog, Hooked on Houses, so I hope I am

getting the concept of it. If not I apologize!

I am hooked on signs! I can't seem to have enough around my house.

I won't show them all today because I do have alot.

But here are a few of my favorites....

This one speaks for itself I think!

And I have it hung where everyone can see it.

I think I could do more of what this sign implies....

~ Simplify ~

I posted this a few days back. I just like the sign

and it fits with my phone.

This is in my half bath

off my kitchen. I decorated it with

Beehive border, yes-I know border is supposed to be out,

but I like it and it fits. I also have real Beehives hanging in there too.
