~I Need Your Help Lady's~

As I've said before I'm doing alot of uncluttering and tweaking but I'm stumped at what I should do with this wall, it's a high ceiling above the shelf and slopes down toward the fireplace. What should I add, it looks a little bare to me but I don't want a cluttered look. I like the picture that I have above the lamp, looks great when the lamp is lit at night. This is the right side of my living room... and this is the left

Is this sampler board to tall for the shelf? Should I take out the pewter goblet and replace it with a smaller pewter mug that was Michael's when he was a baby? I do know I want to keep the black doll on there that Beth made me for our textile swap and also the pewter pitcher that I found for $5.00, there is a little store where I get my hair done and went in there and found it:) Oh, and also the plate I'd like to keep.

To the right of the shelf it's just bare, there isn't any room for another table because there is doorways on both sides of the sofa. Any ideas would be appreciated girls:)

I've been tweaking my stepback cupboard trying to get it just so...on the top shelf is a pickle jar with a label that says "drygoods" I keep matchbooks in there from the all restaurant's that Stush and I have been too since we started to date. In the grain scoop on the top shelf I have the blue star ornies:)

Here is a Yankee Candle that I got at GW for $1.49 I think it was used only once and it's called Vanilla Cookie, smells so good too, I already had the star punched tin lid:)

This is the candle mat I bought at The Country Store that I have the jar sitting on.

When I showed the great prims that I got from Beth in our textile swap I forgot to show the picture of the sweetest "Sweet Annie" ticking pillow that she made, it smells so good too. I needed something to put in spice rack that Janene sent me and it sure looks as if it were made for it doesn't it?

Like I said this has been one busy summer for me and my family...here are a few pictures of Kennywood, Kennywood is made of memories that's their theme and it's so true it has been around forever... I'm sure my great grandmother had been there of course back then it was and looked alot different then it does now.

We have movies of my dad and I riding this ride when I was about Samantha's age here, now here I am doing the same thing with my granddaughter's:)


I have the pictures backwards here:

A pic of us getting on the ride, I know I'm getting old when I had trouble getting in and out of the car.LOL

This is part of the park that's called New Kennywood, beautiful fountain but the flowers weren't what they used to be in years past because of all the rain Pa has got this summer plus cooler temps.

Here's Samantha riding the merry go round, she just loves this ride, she was tapping her finger to the music as everyone was getting on.:) She said that she loved the ride and the music:)

Here is the merry go round, it's said to be the oldest one in the country:) It's beautiful when it is lit at night.

I remember riding this ride too it's called the Whip and there is a bigger one outside of kiddyland but Samantha and Alex were happy just to stay in kiddyland and ride the rides that don't scare them. Now Sydney was out and about with her Uncle Chris riding all the thrilling rides, they grow up to quick!

I have more pictures of Kennywood that I'll post later, we had a great time and sure were tired when we got home at about 11:30 PM that night. It's a great park that we go to every year, ever since I was a baby and on thur my teenage years up until now a grammie:)

Have a great day everyone!
