Can you do what is said can’t be done? For as long as I remember I have been told you can’t go home again! Are those words just a hollow statement? Or do they have some sort of true meaning?

The physical being can actually go home again, that is to say you can actually go to the door and knock or ring the bell. In hopes of being greeted with the love and adornment that you have expected or remember so vividly in your mind. So physically, yes you can go home. But will it be the joyous reunion that you want or need, or think you deserve?

Some families have a close bond, some are well a little less endearing, not to say the love wasn’t there. It was just a little more hidden or refined. However it was generally love that made a home special to you.

Also the little things you remember, the way the sun light shown into your window in the morning. Maybe the way your room was decorated, with all of your prized possessions, or the special decoration that always fascinated you, the things that you might not have been allowed to touch for fear of breaking. The sound of the grandfather clock tick tock, tick tock. or the chimes on the hour and the half.

Is it they are talking about the journey back to where your thoughts take you? Like being a kid again, Is this question just a matter of stepping back in time, to when life was simple?
When you were a child, and had it made, even if your didn’t realize that, you did.

I bet if you closed your eyes and thought real hard you might be able to remember the smell of your favorite meal, coming from the kitchen. Maybe you might be able to bring back the memory of a birthday, or birthday party, that was in your honor or that of a family member.

Their was usually someone that cared for you. Someone to cook your meals, helped with your homework, make sure you brushed your teeth, and perhaps even to tuck you in, & say your prayers.

So what are your thoughts on this matter? Can you go home again? Or are those memories just that, wonderful memories, a keep sake that can’t be brought back again? Please leave a comment just below. I would appreciate any thing you have to say.

I am trying to include items here that, will help you add charm and whimsy, with some decadence, & grace. Things you need and some things you just flat out want or have to have. I have some that help you in everyday life, some that make you smile, some that enchant, some for collectors, like Elvis, cows, a nativity scene, a mother elephant and her family that are walking in the wild, the most beautiful horses, I have ever seen running in the waves.

The Elvis items are made with the collector in mind, they can bring you back to when The KING was in all his glory, You can almost hear him, as if he is onstage, these are so realistic. Let me help you Show off your home accessories, I plan to add more items soon so please check back often.

Let me know if you like the willow or are looking for Elvis "The King" of Rock~n~ Roll, or any home accessories piece.

If you have a picture you can email it to me with a description, I will see if I can find it or something close, and will get back to you. Lets make your home an enchanting place to be, a place where your imagination can run and play, a place to make wonderful memories for years to come.

Today I am posting the different ways to enhance your bathroom, and some of the pitfalls. What to look out for when you add a shower curtain. The first thing I need to say, is our bathroom is small enough as it is (generally.) So when you are thinking about what kind of shower curtain you want. Please Do Not pick one that has to large of a design, they tend to make your room look smaller, and make it feel like it is closing in on you. A constant design is okay, but to large of a design will make you regret it.
If you want a neutral color I can offer the zebra black and white stripes that will go good with every color.
If you want a most peaceful touch "one that might call to you" I would suggest the Dolphin set. It has wonderful shades of blue and green.. Ranging from bold to pastel, with white that adds an elegant touch and the mirror with the dolphins. Further enhances the effect of your ocean decor. you can almost hear the sea crashing to the shore. I do have these bathroom accessories, in my bathroom. I chose some beige towels, a set of green and some shades of blue, I have also added some fish on the walls, to further compliment the ocean bathroom design.
I found some new college shower curtains, pro shower curtains, even NBA and Baseball while I was searching for more bathroom decor that I am adding to my site.
So I must ask, Are You A Sports Fan? Are you a College Football Fan? or are you an Alumni? Do you know a College fan or a student? Maybe you just have a Pro team that you follow. Well I have just what you are looking for! I have located 115 College & Pro sports team college shower curtains. Football, NBA, & Baseball. Most of the truly loved team are all there. So let me help you to delight that special sports fan in your life. I want to post some pictures of these but, I do not want to insult any fan, student, or alumni, by not using there team. So I will not add them here. I am adding them in alphabetical order. You can email or call me to see if I can get your favorite team. I will have them in asap. Thank you
