Got No Bananas

I hope this post finds you doing good.  It's been quite a bit of 'magical chairs' with the art here lately.  My favorite lady has been moved into the dining room.  This is her when I had her sitting on the mantel.

She lived behind this sofa for a short while.

It looks like Layla was enjoying a good stretch.  She used to always photobomb a photo but Jacques is much worse about it than she has ever been.





The cabbage plates paired well with the colors in the wallpaper so I hung them on each side of her.  They work with the colors in my wallpaper and it seems like a very good spot for them.

The mister thought this would be a good spot for the picture because "It covers some of the busy wallpaper up."  Oh yes he did say that!

Can you believe we are in March?  There is something that happens to time when you become a blogger or it has to me.  It's very strange and it's hard for me to describe to others.  You go into a time warp.  There are times you feel like you have lived on the computer for months and given so much that you have given away rights to your first grandchild.  Then you back off a little and you realize that those Fall, Christmas and winter photos you took have come and gone.  Then I ask how did it go so fast?  Was I paying attention?  How is my family?  The dogs okay? I can identify with the man that has been in space for a year and just got back.  I didn't get taller, well let me rephrase that, blogging does encourage growth but it's usually in width not length.  Like my late curmudgeon father used to say, "I can't get around a group of women that congregate in the store aisle.  There's nothing but acres and acres of a$$!"  He sounded similar to Walter Matthau in Grumpy Old Men!

 By the way this post jumped the gun.  It wasn't supposed to be published until next week.  I lost connection online and somehow it was then published!  Hence the silly title of the post!  I had not come up with the title name of this post and just borrowed my husband just mentioning we 'got not bananas'.  The mister likes to make milk shakes with frozen bananas.  You whip them up in the blender with milk and whatever else you want and the frozen bananas make it thick like a shake but not as fattening.  He said no shake tonight, cause we got no bananas!

  1. Howdy doody, Jannie Pooh! I probably should call you that but people I'm fond of kinda get kicknames! ;) Your mantel is gorgeous! I love your style and it's always so romantic looking! Love your little stretching dog and reminds me of my little Chloe Dawn who is in heaven.

  2. That looks perfect there and with the dishes it's paired very well! It feels like spring up here already but I don't trust it. I hope it stays nice but we're used to having "winter" weather through March. I find I am on the computer more doing posts and visiting blogs to spend my time chasing away the winter blahs. Have a great week!

    1. Thank you Liz! I know what you mean, it's been such a warm winter for us. We usually have a freeze before Easter and a lot of the time it will take flower buds with it.

    1. Thank you so much Marigene! That wallpaper came in two other colorways if I remember correctly and I went back and forth on which one for months! One was a dark green background and the other was a white background.
