I was tagged by Karen last week for this 5 Things Meme! Sounds like fun, so here goes with mine.
5 things I’ve always wanted to do:
travel all around the world, plus all 50 states
instantly be able to play the piano!
go to NYC at least once a year
be totally organized
sing
5 things found in my bag:
billfold
lip gloss
tape measure
receipts
camera (unless I’m using it at home!)
5 things in my wallet:
driver’s license
credit card
money
more receipts
checkbook
5 things I’m currently into:
blogging (way too much sometimes!)
reading
sewing
reality tv shows (probably should quit)
upcoming holidays
5 things in my room…………
Some people have just listed these and some have done pictures. I opted to do some photos, I know you’re so (not) excited! I picked the den or family room; it’s where spend a lot of the time.
My chair, until other people come and take it from me!
The mantle over our fireplace…..we didn’t build this house but the people that did got this from an old house off a farm somewhere I think.
Coffee table, I think I’m supposed to be keeping it for Elizabeth because it doesn’t fit in her place this year. But I’m loving having it and have gotten rather attached to it Liz! Just so you know, possession is nine-tenths of the law. 😆
Table on another wall
Entertainment center
The entertainment center NEVER looks like that! It usually looks more like this, sometimes worse
And that shot of the console table that has pictures hanging over it, I took a close up of one of those pictures. It’s kind of a neat drawing, charcoal I think, done by my grandfather many, MANY years ago. I don’t know how old it is, he might have been a boy when he did it. This is the frame it was in when we found it while redoing the downstairs of our house. It’s probably the original frame and my grandmother might have given it to us for one of my daughters that has that family name but, I might be keeping this one a while longer too!
I’m probably supposed to tag others but am not taking the time today to do that! But I’d love it if lots of you played along too and show what’s in your house! Before we start showing off for Christmas you know…..come on, do your thing!

I love your furniture! Also, I would love to go to NY with you every year, and the instant piano thing is a great idea!

I love your chair and the picture. Actually I love all of it. 😉
Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving at Stacy’s.

I think I like the instant pianist idea the best.

I loved all your 5 things you want to do- the instantly playing the piano made me laugh.
great meme

I want your fireplace mantel! I think we should plan a trip to NYC — there are at least 4 of us now that have it on our lists!

Your chair looks like the perfect reading chair! I really like that picture of the rabbits. That’s something really special!

Oh Gail, what a gorgeous room! Your furniture is all so beautiful! I can’t certainly see why a ‘tiff’ might be brewing when Liz comes back for that coffee table!
And by the way, loved the ‘instantly’ attached to the piano playing…ain’t that the truth?!!

Don’t you be scratching MY coffee table up with those candles and basket!! I will be doing an inspection on it this evening!

Fun, I liked this one 🙂 Loved the pictures and it always makes me giggle that you have a tape measure in your purse. It always comes in handy though, we end up measuring tons of stuff when we’re out shopping, don’t we?!

I would love to travel the world, too! Love the furniture shots! Your chair looks so comfy!! And what a nice memento to have from your grandfather. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
