What Is It About France?

Some day I want to go to France, what is it about France that draws us so.

Famous French artist, Oh yes.

The beauty and the night life?

Oh yes the furniture that's what I like best! This actually folds out to be bunk beds?? That's what the site said? I just like it the way it is :)

Ms. Colleen this one is for you! Mooo!

I'm loving this one

Oh yeah I want this vanity and screen

O.K. I want this one! A bed and breakfast will do though..as long as it's in France.

102 Degrees That's All I'm Saying......

From My Loving Mother-in-law

My in-laws are down from Olympia and Jean brought me some wonderful gifts again. These two sleeping porcelain dolls. This little gal in Burgundy has the most beautiful hair.



Gorgeous Venice Lace!

I wish you could see this ring in real life, it's cubic zirconium but made from a picture of a Victorian ring.

This miniature candelabra is quite heavy and a brass miniature bucket with handle, I love it.

Bags of needle point thread and beads that are just beautiful and I will never use them. But she told me to give stuff away if I can't use them. And I know just the two girls that can use them and would appreciate them so they will go to a new home.

Bags of roses! And so much more....(to be continued) Thanks Jean

For Sharon

Not much to show Sharon as we have nothing but flying dirt around us. Our neighbor after six months has decided to put his lawn in finally. He has had a huge mound of dirt right next to us all this time and my flowers have been sand blasted.

The county is working on putting in fire hydrants and water pipes for a month now, so here is the back where we get sand blasted also.

I have a little hydrangea

This little tree is a "Filbert" and it twists and contorts and it was my husbands Grandmothers favorite tree.

Are lawn is doing really well, we have sage brush growing in it all the time and that keeps us busy. To the right is an empty lot still and the two house's being built in the front across from us is blowing tons of dirt. Can you say "headaches, sneezing" We counted my husband sneezing last night and he did 10 in a row!!! I thought he would have a heart attack. My sinuses feel so raw like a sinus infection all the time and my headache's are out of the world. I would love to live in Bali right now until this nightmare is over.

I found this funny out side chair and it is a glider which I love.

My red Hawaiian plant is still alive in its original pot?

My "Calla Lilly" just bloomed last night, I just love these plants, this bulb is about 4 years old now.

I did get my new cushion done for my favorite chair.

I really like this material

This is all the plants I have on top of the balcony which is quite pathetic because the wind just trashes them. So I will have to put evergreens up here which is expensive and the pots to put them in will be some big cash also so that will take time. So not much has changed Sharon but thanks for asking. Have a great week girls.

Such Pretty Things....

I have been buying purse's and such from Just Lilla for several years now and I have never been disappointed. I bought this garden diary for my first year in my new home and I thought I would share it with you.

A sweet drawing of a cottage with flowers

Each page is special, here is a hanky and a cloth picture of a flower vase.

Picture of a town gate and a lovely cloth vintage picture of a lady in her garden.

This dress is so sweet and a nice surprise.

A vintage picture of a lady by a stream picking flowers and of course a picture from my garden.

Her backgrounds were fun, a picture of flowers made into a heart tied with a ribbon and a leaf bead.

A beautiful glossy covering over a mother & child.

More garden pictures and the gate door open where I can put a surprise inside.

Cloth inside the back and shiny picture on front with a lovely maiden done in cloth.

It will be a special memory for me.

I love this.....

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.

"Buddha"

Right on Maxine !

More pictures of Sadie

Well I had to go over again today to see this sweet little girl, she has such gentle disposition that I think she will be perfect for the kids. Alexis will not leave her side and Trevin may only be three but he has been taught to be very gentle with her. He treats her like air it's so cute. I hope everyone is beating the heat were 95 degrees again, have a good wkend.

Still working on my camera shots, I think these have turned out nice.

Sadie Our New Love

Mommy & Daddy (my son) went out tonight and brought home a new package wrapped in a baby blanket and slowly opened the blanket and out popped the puppy. The kids eyes just popped when they saw this sweet little girl. She is a Beagle Chiwawa mix and very cute. It's just what Alexis needed she is such a little mommy. I will have to get better pictures tomorrow.
