Earlier this week I came home to find two packages waiting for me. First was a gift from Joy at Cupids Charm. She sent me this beautiful necklace she made! I just love it.
The next package was from Mary ~Little Red House, an assortment of blue and white linens!
Thank you both! You are so kind!
The next gift I got last night while I was looking at my site meter stats. I realized that a lot of people are finding my blog by doing Google searches for "painting furniture" I got really curious so I typed in "painting furniture" on Google and this is what I found...I come up number 4 on the list.. ME! LITTLE ME! I'M #4! Look who's above me...HGTV, Martha Stewart, and Do it yourself.com! Wow...I can't tell you how shocked I was! I had to call my mom and dad to tell them and we were all giggling on the phone! I still don't believe it! I consider this a gift from all of you because if you didn't continually come back to visit my blog I would have never made it this high on this search! So thanks to all of you! You can click on the photo below to enlarge it...I'm really there!
Also, I have a great makeover project I'll share with you next week. I found such a great deal on something and I've already painted it white. It's my favorite project so far (but I say that with each project I do). It's not as big as the armoire and hutch but I'm so in love with it! How's that for leading you on...Check back on Monday!

You are so cute! You will get a call from a producer any day now :) It will be called Cindy's Romantic Home and it will bring you much fame and fortune.....and perhaps a love interest.....hmmm

ok, i just realized i sound like really stalkerish considering i don't even know you. i'm not a stalker--i promise! but i feel like i know a part of you through your writing, and i truly appreciate the time and work you put into this blog.
I finally found a copy of the magazine that features YOU. I was so excited that I stopped and read it right in the store. Okay, now it really is time for you to write a book!
Thank you for sharing all of your refinishing secrets so freely with us.

What beautiful gifts! It doesn't surprise me at all that you're a google superstar. You certainly inspire me.
That's very good...number 4 on the Google search! You're worked hard for that spot!

Hi Cindy,
Everything you have is gorgeous. I love your home so much! Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Rosemary~
Cindy, I think you should be #1. You are very talented and a very giving person to teach all of us which I'm sure is very tedious. All the best to you.

Cindy,
It's always nice to be appreciated! You are so deserving of this recognition.
Your projects and decorating ideas are always very do-able. Plus your photography and instructions are always very clear and consise.
Congratulations on your two lovely gifts, and on your big Google success.
I can hardly wait to see your next project.
I think you and Barbara Jacksier should get together and write a book... with your painted furniture...
It would be a best seller...
Hugs

Hi Cindy,
I really enjoy your site. You have the most exquisite taste! Do you have any experience with silver leafing or gilding? I was debating on doing the woodwork on my 2 parlor chairs.
Thanks!

Cindy, you are soooo sweet to take a picture of my (your!) necklace. You are such a dear and I hope you enjoy this little trinket. I also hope you enjoy it for many happy years to come! xoxo ~ Joy
Hi Cindy , I would pass out if I even made it on the first page . But no wonder your's was in the # 4 place , you have in my opinion one of the best blogs on the internet !!
Cindy,
I loved your blog. (Don't paint your dad's shelf) I love victorian decor and have a lot of garage sale (redone) antiques in my Ca home. I think your blog is fantastic and you are very good at what you do.
