Black And Red

Hello friends.

I hope this post finds you well.

I know Valentine's is over.

I am a bit behind with showing off

my valentine decor.

So the remining posts of February will continue to

be Valentine related.

I hope you don't mind.

Christmas Day Bob and I decided to 

take the remaining Christmas decor and pack

away what was left, 

and bring out the Winter and Valentine goodies.

My theme this year was red and black.

Now that I am finally showing off these pics,

we have already redid the store now 

for Spring.

The front window now is black and yellow Spring,

mixed in with some galvanized items.

while the back room is all Easter.

So ready for Spring.

For now though, I hope you enjoy these pics.

Above are black and red runners.

I kept the candy trees out for Valentine's.

All sold now.

Cardinals and Valentine tags.

These were a hit.

Warm & cozy sign in red and black.

More Valentine items.

Sweet sheep with a Winter barn scene.

This was an actual photo that my friend

had printed on canvas.

Her photos are awesome!

More sheep.

Other items.

Valentine signs.

Valentine gifts.

Flowers.

Fireplace mantel.

More red and black. 

Throws

Pillows.

Swans with black & red bows I added.

I kept up the tree and added red paper hearts.

The finished fireplace area.

The dresser area.

The table.

Finally the last cabinet.

Filled with trees, cardinals

and more photos from my friend.

I loved how the reds made

the trees pop!

I actually purchased one of these photos

for myself.

I will show you what I did with it in another post.

In other news,

my daughter had the pic line removed.

The MRA x-ray came back no infection.

WOOHOO!!!

I am off on Monday, so I am

taking her and the grands out to lunch.

They are also off from school that day.

It will be the first time she has been out 

since November.

I am still waiting on one more Spring order

for the store. Sure hope it comes in soon.

Am drawing out designs for Halloween.

Sorry Robin, the theme is still a secret. 

Also working on orders for Summer.

One more milestone to mention.

After 20 years, Bob and I no longer

 have a house payment.

YAY

Our house is now paid off.

One step closer to my retirement.

I joked with him the other day and

said, maybe when he & I both retire,

we sell the 2 store buildings,

purchase a house in Alabama

and live down there in the Winter

and up here in the Summer.

He asked why Alabama and not Florida.

I said, because it is almost halfway

 from your brother and sister. 

His brother lives in TX near the Arkansas border,

while his sister lives in mid Florida.

Makes sense to me. LOL

Yesterday morning we started off with

freezing rain.

Bob closed the stores by mid day

as the roads were getting worse.

Then the snow started.

We were to get 6 to 9 inches.

Not sure how much we got yet

as it is still dark outside.

Well off to work.

Have a great weekend my friends!

You know where Tundra and I will be.

Red & Black Blessings To All!
