Loaner?

Does anyone have a baby I could snuggle for awhile..... oh, if only, for a moment.

Pink Lining

In my world.... every cloud has a pink lining.....or so I tell myself.....

Welcome Mom!

My mom has started up a blog and an etsy site! She has been selling her beautiful work on Ebay for years and done really well.... and after hearing me rambling on and on about how much I love Etsy she has decided to try it there as well. Will you please pop over to her blog and say hello? I know she would love to hear from you and get some feedback on her new endeavours! Thank you so much! She is at http://creativegramma.blogspot.com/ So happy to have you along for the ride mom!!

Henriette of France as Flora

This was painted by Jean-Marc Nattier in 1742. Isn't she so lovely? The original is located in Uffizi Gallery in Florence. Maybe someday.... I might see her in person....... Oh, to dream.

It is SUMMERTIME! :-)

Vintage Playing Cards

I received this Queen of Hearts from Rebecca and just loved it: Wished I could have the whole deck...... love the image.... and then while at the flea market... I stumbled upon this.....

Two complete decks! I am in heaven.... thinking I should sell one whole deck or split one deck up but I love them so! Aren't they sweet??

Rusty old Buttons

I tend to visit (rather regularly) a small town thrift store where I seem to discover the most interesting things....well, interesting to me anyways! Check out these old buttons.... the jar, at first glance, seemed rather dull, but then one caught my eye, and then another, and then another! My husband thought I was crazy standing over the kitchen sink washing buttons! Here are just a few..... what will I do with them?? I don't know that yet!!

Aren't they neat?? Oh, and Happy 1st day of Summer to You! This beautiful butterfly made an appearance at my daughter's 9th birthday party..... what a treat!
