Rosearamma

I'm a 29yr old SAHM of a 5 yr. old daughter and a 2-yr. old son. My husband is a pastor working to plant a church in the Medford area. We live in lovely southern Oregon in an old Craftsman style home with lots of room for guests & sharing a good meal around our table. As with old homes, it's a work in progress. This year I'm really trying to get in a nice garden patch for some home-grown veggies.

I love to thrift shop & am always on the lookout for a treasure. To bring in extra spending money, I'm also an AVON lady. This also pays for my girly habit of makeup & jewelry.

My decor style is a mix of Retro Kitchen, Vintage mix/match & shabby chic(not too floral), with a touch of Pottery Barn. Basically whatever suits my fancy. ;~) Clean & simple is essential to me. I like useful, colorful items to add spice to my home. Not into heaps of cutesy items or sayings.

I like bold colors, red being my favourite. Grass Green, Aqua & Russet are some of my best clothing colors. My favourite patterns are stripes & dots. I also like vintage florals.

Black & White pictures hold a special place in my heart. Sometimes I even like to dig through old boxes of photos of mysterious people at the antique store. Over the past year I've been teaching myself to use our digital camera(usually taking pics of our daughter) with some good results. Someday I hope to take some actual photography training.
