Expressions Explained, Part 4
Personal hygiene left much room for improvement in the 1700s. As a result, many women and men had developed acne scars by adulthood. The women would spread bee's wax over their facial skin to smooth out their complexions. When they were speaking to each other, if a woman began to stare at another woman's face she was told, "mind your own bee's wax."
Should the woman smile, the wax would crack, hence the term, "crack a smile."
In addition, when they sat too close to the fire, the wax would melt...therefore, the expression losing face."

Take a look at the logo.
Isn't this sky stunning?

Save My Seat!
At church, I tend to sit in the same place every week, but I've been thinking that I might meet some new, interesting people if I move around a bit. Are you a one-seat sitter?

A Winter Cloche Party!
Marty from A Stroll Thru Life is hosting a Winter Cloche Party, and I am ready to attend!This has been a hard winter for most of the country, and we've had our share of cold temperatures down here in the Sunshine State.
You might remember the pretty plant I purchased to cheer up the outside of our rental. I moved it to our new house and put it on the back porch. This is an old picture of it.
Here's what this nasty winter has done.
But this is a cloche party, you say. Okay, for my winter cloche display, I give you...

Valentine's Party
Laurie from Bargain Hunting and Chatting with Laurie is the hostess of today's Valentine Party. I'm playing along to show some Blogger love!I decorated a bit for Valentine's Day this year. I did want to attend Laurie's first-ever party, so I put a little red on my foyer table entrance.
The crystal compote contains some candy for visitors (granchildren) who like to nibble on sweets.
This pretty plate was purchased last year.
The little red candle holder is heart-shaped, and I got it from one of those $ stores last year.
Showing you some love = having a smile.

Blue Monday - Barely Blue Family Room

I've been showing pictures of our new home, and today I have our Family Room to share with you. Last week, I teased you with a peek, looking from the Dining Room. Here's a copy of that shot.
Although blue is both Johnny's and my favorite color, it gets only a slight nod in our Family Room. Do you spot it?
Here's a closer shot. I've turned the lamps on so that you might see the blue more clearly.
Give up? Here's a close-up of our blue pitcher. Placing it here, draws the eye from the front door. I like to have rooms flow into one another. You've seen the Foyer, Living Room, and Dining Room, so you know that there's plenty of blue to be seen in those areas. I imagine that some would argue these rooms don't flow; however, we're pleased with the results.
