I was tagged on Thursday by LeAnn at Pink Icing on the Cake to give a six word memoir. I thought it was appropriate to share it on Sunday. Mine is…

BY HIS STRIPES I AM HEALED

I am so thankful that Jesus suffered for my healing. I am thankful that through a tough divorce, I can have hope for a new life. He provides not only healing from physical ills, but He also provides healing from all the pain, suffering and doubts that we go through here on earth. He can provide us with perfect peace. So if you are suffering from anything that needs to be healed, trust in Jesus for BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED!

"BUT HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, HE WAS BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITIES, THE CHASTISEMENT OF OUR PEACE WAS UPON HIM, AND WITH HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED. ISAIAH 53:5"

May God bless you on this beautiful Sunday.

Love, Victoria Lynn

A Little Project

I am ashamed to say I bought this buffet about 15 years ago and planned on refinishing it at the time. So here I am, 15 years later and it’s finished! TA DA!! See, it’s NEVER too late! I loved adding the appliqués and glass knobs; it makes the piece have so much more character! I worked on it right in the middle of my living room, rolling the primer and paint. This was a gutsy move on my part, tempting the fates with a HOUSE SHOWING which actually did happen the next day and I had to hurriedly put it back together and shove it back in the corner!

Ode To Rachel Ashwell

I have always been a fan of decorating styles. My huge collection of decorator magazines and books can attest to that. But little did I know that a single woman from across the seas could have such an influence on my life and decorating style. It was sometime around the year 2000 when I first heard the name Rachel Ashwell. I found her first book, “Shabby Chic”, and it was love at first sight. I was lured in by the beautiful photos and instantly hooked on her style. I loved the chippy cupboards, the rose paintings, the chandeliers! At last I had found the style that I completely identified with…and an excuse to go to garage sales, flea markets, second hand stores, even eBay. Anywhere I could get my hands on that sweet shabby style. It was like a fever and I had it bad! As luck would have it, I soon discovered her television program on the Style Network. I taped every show and watched them to my heart’s content. So you can imagine my excitement and bliss when I learned a collection of the shows were being released on DVD! Yes, as of today you can purchase these sweet shows on three separate DVD’s. So, today, I salute you Rachel Ashwell! Thank you for changing my life by helping me define my sense of style. Thank you for giving me an outlet for my creativity (hurray for white spray paint!) and a renewed love for vintage furniture! Hmm…Now if only she would publish her own magazine…my decorating world would be complete!!
