99th post!!

This is my 99th Post!!

Hello, Hubby couldn't believe Sonic Kitty can launch all the way to the top of the computer cabinet from my chair.  He loves the vantage point of looking down on everyone in his Kingdom.

It is a beautiful thing that he likes to be near me when I'm on the computer.

Speaking of Kingdoms...boy oh boy...I'm still lost in the craft room trying to make organization happen.  I have too much stuff and don't like to part with anything.  But, I have started making stuff and playing in here.  I was kinda scared my crafting mojo had forgotten me!

I am trying to accept myself.  I sure don't know how to be anyone else.

I got this at a local antique mall years ago.  I need to redo it but it is a great reminder to not be too serious and to try to just roll with it.  Believe it or not...it is in the water closet. :~}

Girls, the blooms look faded and pitiful sometimes but we keep going for a better, more sunny day ahead.

The Sun never refuses to rise!!  Neither should we.

Flowers, shiny jackets and a kitty

You just won't believe this..

I was in my Goodwill store minding my own business

and SHAZAM!! 

 

A dear friend at church had a 50th wedding

anniversary recently and I missed the open house. 

I wanted to make her a name frame but I've been

too busy to make it happen. 

I found this pitcher at Goodwill for like $3

with her last name on it.

Does that happen?

Girlies...I was afraid she had tossed

it out and she was gonna be

shocked that I drug it back to her. :)

I was so excited and she was too that

I forgot to get a pic of her receiving it.

 It left my cottage and went right to her front entry

console in her cottage.

Did you spot the 3 glittery egg picks?

I did get a pic or 2 of some shiny jackets recently..

My guy has the red shoe laces.  Hubby in tan hat too.

Clear Lake Boys Basketball Championship jackets!

You better believe the boys wore them to school .

Victory is SWEET.

They won the tournament too and

Jake made all-stars.

And a shot of a naughty, brazen kitty..

Yes...that would be Jack Beagle's bed.

Someone's been sleeping in my bed and they are still there!! lol

Happy 1st of March

I'm happily playing in the dishes!
This is 3 or more aspects of my
Easter Tablescape Dreams.

This all started with finding these adorable soup plates.

2 yrs ago David Lackey China closed their doors
but not before I hit the 77% off remnants.
I got the 7 soup plates that were there alone,
they looked a little like my wedding china.

Hubby and I had been going on dates there for 16 years.
I'm so grateful for a Hubby that will allow me dishes.

Remember I showed you this cloche.

maybe I can put the pink hearts on the b&b plates.

Syracuse China...made in America..Forget~Me~Not
They rooted in my heart
I could not believe it when I noticed
some china in Virginia last summer?
I mean...really.
Is that the china that goes with
the soup plates I just got?!!
Oh NO.....it is!!

I think an elderly woman in the area had just put them
in the antique mall to sell.  They harken back to
1949-1966.
8 plates and 8 bread and butter dishes too.
We knew we were in trouble. 
I had them call her to get the price better, but you
gotta know there wasn't much haggling going on. 
Do you understand Dish Love?

Hubby understands because he has a train room.

Dishes make me happy.

I'm working on a cottagy Easter scape.

Egg~specially Springy

I got the egg place holders for $4 at Ross

Love at First Sight..again!!

 

All 5 pieces are different birds, simply gorgeous.

terribly hard to photograph.

I'm so excited about hostessing Easter Dinner.

I think I'll have to add some cottage charm with

bird houses & nests & bunnies.

I'm not thinking menu yet, still dreaming.

I do see bird's nest candy at each place.

FUN!

That's all Peeps!
