PRIMITIVE TEXTURES IN MY HOME

Wow!...It's been really noisy here today...They must be doing military maneuvers on the military base nearby...Military helicopters have been flying low over the house off and on all day...And Luke hasn't liked it at all...They are really loud and the house vibrates and they must go at a slow pace because it takes forever for them to pass over especially when there is several...

Ever wonder why we buy our toddlers alot of toys for Christmas?!?...Luke has followed me around all day while playing with a matchbox car, a flashlight, and an orange {unpeeled, of course}....And the orange HAD to sit on his tray at lunch, too...Really funny since he won't taste an orange for anything....

And then when I get through blogging we are going to dust...Luke LOVES to dust!!!...He has his swiffer duster and I have mine and he will dust all over the house right along with me...HA!...cheap labor!!...I better enjoy it while I can!!...But the funny thing is on days when I see that he is bored I will give him the duster and you'd think I'd given him a new toy...He loves to dust!!!

This is the little red lantern I got while I was antiquing with my sister right before Christmas...I had gotten it to put in the hall bathroom, but the outlet is right at the end of the blue bench I have on the counter like the one in the master bath...It is used for the blow dryer, hair straightner, etc, so I think the bulb won't last as long with it being unplug constantly...So I guess I will have to put a battery operated candle in there...And I have some on the way...In the meantime the little red lantern has found a new home on the shaker cabinet beside the front entry...I'm really liking it there!!...It's soooo cute!

As I was going around cleaning and rearranging today I wondered why I loved primitives so much...A lot of people just don't understand!!...One reason I love primitives are the textures and the worn and torn look of something that has been loved and well used...So I decided to snap some pictures of textures in my home..I will be sharing pictures for my next posts!!!

A tattered quilt I bought for Luke's nursery before he was born...

the tattered pieces i cut from it to make something special out of it....

One of my favorite old advertising boxes...I love worn wood!!!

and textiles.....

These are some of the textures I love from my home!!...I will be back to share some more with you!!...hugs, Jen
