Decor and Nature

I just love my little apartment! I was looking around at some of my things last night and thinking how lucky I am. I have an odd conglomeration of items rescued from various Goodwill stores, flea markets, resale shops, etc...

Two pieces of an antique water wheel I put makeup brushes in

Old Appaloosa box I keep magazines and photo albums in- isn't it cute?

Two of my fave handmade pillows found at Goodwill and a flea market

And then there's nature. I am a nature lover to be sure. Last week I almost lost it because I saw an otter swimming in a pond. I just think the things God makes are so beautiful! 

I like it when I see home decor books with pieces of nature incorporated. When I had the dogs out swimming yesterday I thought the tree next to the lake was neat and so I grabbed a few branches to take home. 

Absolutely no idea what kind of tree this is- I just likes it's funny green balls! 
Vase from a flea market (I love my lime green, what can I say?)

More branches with my new "pet" Venus Fly Trap

The tray is one I made for my Granny years ago. 

Meet Buzz Kill, my new Venus Fly Trap. Isn't he adorable?

    CUTE! I love making a new apartment/house your very own home. It's the best feeling.

All About Ashley

My photo
Spring, TX, Southern, United States
Playing with and keeping up with my nephew and niece take up a lot of my time. Van Geaux takes up the rest of it. Work is an afterthought most days! I like to be outside- but not when it's too hot. I get bored at my desk all day. Niki keeps my world spinning and without her and AC I'd lose it. My work ethic crashes at 4 p.m. daily and I live my sweet puppy and my hedgehog whenever I am not at Niki's. I truly believe naps are quality pass-time events, and sometimes I say bad words at work. I'm pretty sure I'm insane on multiple levels and I believe rules don't apply to me.
It seems that my life is quite entertaining. I didn't realize this myself, but was informed of it by my friends- who are rather entertained by tales of my life occurrences.

I'm far from a professional writer. These are just stories, comments, and other items for simple amusement. Hopefully it's a fun read, as Shannon plans to edit it into a book one day! Maybe we'll become famous, and maybe we'll just have some good laughs at my expense (and some other characters in my life). Either way, happy reading!
