Kindness and Gratitude and an Introduction
A
couple points of parliamentary procedure this morning. The first being a HUGE thank you to Linda
over at My Crafty Home Life. What a
crazy surprise to see an influx of folks visiting from her blog - hello to
you and thanks for coming by! I was completely gobsmacked when I discovered last week that she included Chez V on
her list of new blogs that she enjoys. That
act of kindness is quite a big harry deal for this lil’ country mouse of a blog.

So for
those of you just joining the broadcast, welcome to Chez V. Which brings me to my second point, an
introduction. Hi there. Hello, I am mrs.
V. What is this blog all about, you might ask? Remember this and this when I was feeling the need to categorize
myself? Well, for those that have been with me from the beginning, I
have great news. I can
finally answer that in 5 words or less. ME. I have Jenny to thank for the realization. This blog is not about interior design or entertaining
or lifestyle or fashion or pop culture.
It is about all those things because it is about me just
doing my thing. And all
those things, plus many more, interest me.
What you see here is very close to
what you get from me in real life. Me
doing my thing looks a lot like spastic cooking, crazy dancing, pile
making, detail obsessing, belly laughing, kid wrangling, flower getting,
entertaining, and furniture moving/painting/upholstering. Throw in any number of half finished
projects, cover it all with a dusting of bright and shiny and that’s the
regular around here.
I do
hope you will continue to tune in to the craziness. It’s not always pretty and it’s not always
perfect but I promise that it is pretty much perfectly entertaining, most of
the time. Especially
when I trip over my teetering pile of shoes and rip my pants or when I singe
off my eyebrows trying to pull off bananas foster or when the top layer of my
Christmas cake slides off because my frosting deflated, right as I am bringing
it to the table.
In
other news, I am so excited about the open house next month. I have exciting news to share that feeds
right into my monogram madness and I have just curated a
collection of amazing one-of-a-kind vintage costume, sterling silver and estate jewelry for the
event. I want to keep every single
piece. I will be busy snapping pictures
of all the goodness to share here.
kisses, mrs. V

Hi,
So happy to meet you!
Stopped by last week and will continue.
BTW ....you have a beautiful family!
Hi Patty! Thanks for coming by and thanks for the compliment. It is amazing how I have almost NO pictures of me b/c I am the one behind the camera.
Entertaining is an understatement. You are welcome, but once "they" find you....your numbers will skyrocket. I can't decide if your daughter looks more like you or your husband? The perfect combo, I think.
Ha! Well, thank you mucho Linda! P looks more like the mr. she only looks like me b/c of the hair. but boy does she act like me in spades. her theatrics make me look like Shirley Temple to her Joan Crawford.
Email me...I don't know how to reach you.
