Woe is Me!

I haven't been doing as much crafting...baking..or decorating as I normally do because I am moving in a few weeks. We will be saying goodbye to our precious first home that we have owned. We have loved our 1951 home. It has a ton of character and has been so great for our growing family. Here are a few pics from our cutie which we will be leaving in about 3 weeks.
We put on a new roof recently, which makes it look so fresh and clean! (not pictured here)

Since I have 2 children running around and also do daycare, I don't have a lot of knickknacks lying around. I love to have a few plants, though. Nothing that climbs or hangs down. That's just a personal preference.

My giant rusty star is one of my treasures. I called my husband when I was out of town and found it at a small-town festival and asked if I could bring it home. He said no, and I just had to do it anyway. It has had the place of honor above my fireplace.

My gorgeous piano that I learned to play on when I was 11. I have never stopped. Lucky for me, my mom gave it to me for my birthday a few years ago. Above, a great antique map (not really antique) of the USA from the 1800's. I love old stuff!

My big green dresser. It is currently in my dining room. (It's decorated for fall in this pic.)I love this dresser because it hold a bunch of my kid's toys, but it looks great! This was a steal for $120 on craigslist!

My daughter's cute room. I am not normally a fan of cartoon charcters, but Tinkerbell was a pretty cute addition to her room on the border. I love the IKEA flower lamp for $10!

And last of all, my bedroom. It is pretty plain because the hand-pieced quilt by my mother-in-law was very colorful. I love it!

Thanks for letting me share all my treasures with you! Some other things I will miss- our HUGE yard that is beautifully landscaped, my awesome dishwasher, my sunny upstairs office, and all the storage and parking we have. We are excited about the changes we are making, but will be sad to leave, too!
