Birthday Reflections

A gorgeous sunset at our cottage
My darling husband of 32 years who loves me for who I am

My son (and his goddaughter)

As I celebrated another birthday yesterday I reflected on the things that matter most...these are the things that are the nearest and dearest to me in my charmed life!!! I am truly blessed !!

Post Christmas

These 2 pictures are of my mother at age 5 and 16 (sorry about the glare) I tried taking them at different angles but didn't succeed in doing them justice. She was just adorable in her little coat, hat and stockings. In the photo where she's 16 she's drinking a coke on a park bench--she's such a vogue poser!!


The pic on the left shows her a couple years ago at 78. She's a great-looking white haired lady who still likes to vogue a bit!! I love my mommy!


Kept these items on my hearth... am enjoying the feeling of spring that they lend. The darling mini angel bird bath was purchased from Linda at the Red Rooster....sometimes it's dangerous for me to work in there!!!!



I love angel garden statuary. I also have one outside, buried in the snow...just as lovely though.
My house is looking a little "naked" now that the most of my Christmas is packed away for another year...So sad to see it all go!! In need of some inspiration-I've been looking at some old favorite magazine clippings (which I have boxes of!!) and reading blogs of some very talented women. Am also planning a day trip of Junking with my gal pals Linda & Katherine next Tues. Hoping for some inspiring discoveries along the way for both my home and to sell. Maybe I'll get some new pics to post as well!

New Hopes for the New Year...and some resolutions!

I have simple wishes for the New Year...good health for me and my love of 32 years, continued prosperity for our farm, the safe and joyful entry into this world for my new grandbaby...and many awesome treasures to behold in the days of my junk quests!!! Is that asking too much?!?
...Now --- for my RESOLUTIONS: Always-be kind, be nice and take more time for others. Re-use, re-think and find new uses for all this stuff I've had laying around forever!!! Blessings to all in 2010!!!

This sweet little cup is my favorite Christmas decoration!! I look forward to putting it out every year!

A little glimpse at some of my brown transferware collection and I love this vintage post card of the little baby in his jammies!!!
