    Love the window treatment ideas. I'm out in the country now and I don't really need window treatments for privacy. I'm looking to do something different and you've given me some good ideas.

    I am in awe at how you can make everything look so great! This is why I love your site. by far the best examples you posted on "non-traditional" window treatments, were your own, of course! When I grow up, I'm gonna be more like you!! ;)

    Hi Donna. I love your non-traditional curtains. They are so unique and I love how light and airy they are. Sometimes curtains can be so heavy looking in a room. I do love your outside the box approach...it looks like they were meant to be there. Thank you for hosting. Hope you are having a fabulous weekend.

    Hey girlfriend! The Thurmous one is killin' me, you've got to put a FJ spin on that one. I like the cards hanging from the clips, too.

    Donna love your post. Love to think outside the box. I have a stain glass fireplace screen in my bathroom window. I love it. I did have a small picket fence that my dad made in my spare room window but I needed it outside so I used it out there last Spring. I love the thermos in the window, I have one on my kitchen table with flowers in it. A red checked vintage one.
    I also want you to know I finally got my Folk magazine and I love it. I just received it Friday. Thanks so much for sharing. Good luck with your writing, I will be watching for your articles.
