You all have been busy bees, I mean birds this week. I was so thrilled to see that The Romantic Portuguese Daughter and Emily at Remodeling This Life both decided to mistreat their windows! You go girls! Also, Meredith at Uberjoy {that has fancy dots over the U that I don't know how to do} got all wild on us and found her some great toile on ebay. Ya'll, this girl spent $20 including shipping and just look what she did with it! You'll have to read all about it and take a gander at her coordinating plaid chair. Heart you, Meredith!
Also, if you have yet to visit Jennifer you must do so immediately. I am always so inspired by her. I always try to enlarge her photos so I can study each one with a magnifying glass and completely copy everything she does. Go see what she did with a door! Also I love how she make some words big and some words little. I think I might have to copy that too from time to time. Ain't she somethin! Here 's a wall in her house that I love her for! Okay, now that I have totally "fowled" up my font size I now vow to the world that I will no longer copy Jen on this. I guess it takes a lot more smarts than I thought to change it.
I have to thank my sweet blog friend Karol who offered to mock up some photos for me for my fake leather chair. Just as soon as I email her photos of fabric. I still haven't done that. I am way to lazy to do this, Karol. But, I am not too lazy to steal one of my favorite photos from your blog! Look down there at her front porch! Also, Stephanie {I can't find a link for her, Stephy do you have a blog? if not, what do you do with all of your spare time?} put in some great undercover work and found two wonderful coordinating fabrics for my house. Love her! Who knew that JoAnne fabrics had fabric on line that you could order? I bet you could even use your 40% off coupon. I sure miss JoAnn's. We don't have one here. I miss all the balding older ladies. They were so helpful. 
Lastly, Sister Honey Bunch...wait I cannot even finish this sentence. When I read her 'name' it was love at first sight. I mean, how can anyone who calls themself Sister Honey Bunch be anything but fun and fabulous! I just know that she's the life of every party! Anyway, Sister suggested that I take a day from time to time and answer a burning question from one of you readers. Would anyone be intrested in this? It would be an intelligent, in depth analysis to your deepest, darkest, decorating dilemmas. {it just took me 10 minutes to figure out how to spell that word: delima, dellima, dellima, delimma, dillema }Or, a dorky answer to your quirky questions.
PS
Here is a photo I took of myself a few minutes ago. I thought I would be real smart like and hold up a sign. I am brilliant. Can you crack the code? Remember, it doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful!

Yea! You're gonna do it.
I was planning on just sending you pictures of my sad, sad mantle and antique dresser and begging you to help a sister out.
(heart ya'll too!)
Great pic of you and the sign!
I also mistreated my window yesterday and it looks fab. Sent you some pics of my "wall door with writing" last week.
That's right people! Cathy used an old door and wrote on the glass and added photos! It looked great! I actually meant to add that in! So many people have sent me beautiful photos of what they have done--I can hardly keep track!
Goodness you are sweet! You make my day!
No, I am not a blogger yet. I'm strongly thinking about it, though.
We'll see. I am not that much of a computer genius, and I have to figure it all out myself. None of my friends blog, I don't think they even read blogs. They all work full time. I am the only SAHM of the bunch. My husband works long hours,so I just take care of him, our 3 children, and our nest!
How cute are you?! Adorable! I love the pic of you and the sign! :o)
I'm a new visitor here and lovin' every second poking around!
That is just the nicest post ever! Why can't the real world be as kind as the blog world? Thank you so much for stealing (oops!) I mean showing a picture of my dining room ;)! And I think you should totally, totally do the once weekly thing! I'd be happy to collaberate with you on it if you ever run out of ideas (like that's going to happen :)!)
I think you really are the next bloggy Martha Stewart--only funny, and nice, and thrifty, and young :)!
Thanks again!!!
Dear The Nester,
I found your blog today.
I have a confession to make. I think I love you.
Looking at your home, I feel confident we are long-lost best friends.
And I swear I'm trying to be funny, not uber-creepy!
Anyway, I'm a faithful reader of The Sparrow's Nest and now I'm eternally grateful to her for pointing me to you! I have bookmarked you and shall check in often. Thanks for your humor and plenty of pix of that oh-so-beautiful home.

You are too cute! Love the toile in the first picture.. I want some!
Heart you too! :)
Where do I find ring clips? With upholstery tacks? It took me a little longer than most of these speedy people, but I finally mistreated one of my kitchen windows with a table runner I found for $5 (and some other fabric I bought, but that's not as exciting). I can't wait to read about all your future design advice.
Hello. Just popped into your blog and wantet to say that you have a very cozy home and great pictures in your blog. A happy and so sweet family. Keep the blogging alive;)

Hi. Just stopping by... I stumbled onto your blog from another. Nice to meet you. I also have boys, boys, boys. Although, I got a girl this last year. Hurray!
Feel free to come on by and say hello.

I'm glad you decided not to do the font thing. It was appealing at first, but then it was hard to read!
I just found your site. I hope to stop by again when I have time.
Please visit my site at:

Take care,

OMG precious precious!
I will send you pics soon as well here from Miami, FL...
Thanks for all the inspiration..

I am so adicted to your blog. And what a pretty bird you are!
thanks for the email you sent.
I heart you too!!!!
Please, please, answer our burning questions.
I love how you mistreat your windows and everything about your style and I want to know what you would do with my nest.
So when do you start the new feature?
Love your pic at the end! I totally cracked the code. :0)
I've been blog hopping and found your site--so fun! Gosh, your exterior home re-do is FABULOUS! I'd love to know what your neighbors thought when that magical transformation happened.
I am trained as an artist but love design. So I love when people take time and use creativity in their interiors.
I blog at www.thepaintedhouse.blogspot.com. Stop by sometime!
I am holding this post (and the bloggy carnival thingie!) responsible for the 1,000 hits my site got yesterday. Good gravy girlfriend--you sure have some nice readers :)!
Hi, this is Nancy, from the ebay bloggie giveaway.
Yes, I am more than happy to combine shipping on as many items as I can safely ship together. I am like everyone else...I love to save on pricey shipping costs when I can. (leaves more money to buy goodies!!)
Gotta' tell you, you are a cutie pie! Thanks so much for stopping by. I have added you to my fav blogs!!
Be sure to drop in again...I have a sneak peek up of some treasures to be added.
{{hugs}}
Love your blog! Love your beautiful home! You're as cute as can be! Keep up the lovely work!

So many creative people read your blog. I love all the photos you posted and all the links. I'm working on a little project right now. Well, right now I'm typing and reading blogs, but you know what I mean...
P.S. Your picture is adorable. Love the sign.
You make me laugh so hard girl. If I ever get motivated to start my own blog I want to be as funny as you. Well, actually funnier so you will read mine and laugh.q
Thanks so much for posting a link to my site. You know you should write articles for Magazines! You would be a hit!
BTW, that chandler (sp?) in my picture...I got it for $35.00! I was just walking by it at Home Depot and it was marked down to $50 so I thought ok, I like it, I NEEDED it. When I looked on the receipt...it said $35. I nearly fainted. LOL!
Thanks again,
Susan
