Sunday "Meeting"

Hi All,
On Sundays, we usually meet up with our good friends, The Blades. We refer to this as our Sunday "meeting." We all went to school together and are from the same hometown and attend the same church. Here we are at the winery, in our small hometown. One of our favorite places to visit :) Sometimes we go to each other's homes and sometimes here. No matter where we go, we always have some laughs and good times!

Hope you all have a good week ahead!

Seasonal Sunday

Good Morning All,
I hope you all had a Very Merry Christmas! We sure did :) This was my view out my back door early Christmas morning, before the kids came.

Do you think Cocoa and Theodore were happy to see their brother???

Vintage Thingies

Hi All,
Here are some vintage things on my vintage hutch. I have collected them over the years. I love my blue and white onion pattern. Etched glassware sugar and creamer and a red transferware creamer. The photos are of my babies, now 28 and 24. The hutch...
A closer look...


And another...
Hope you are all excited and ready for the big day!

Merry Christmas!

Dear Friends,
I wanted to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas, from our home to yours... I have been blogging, not quite a year, but all of you have meant so much to me. This is such a wonderful world, within our world. I am inspired by all of your beautiful homes, special talents, sense of humor and tender, loving hearts. I feel so blessed to have found all of you.
God Bless all of you at this special time of year!

Tabletop!

Good Morning All,
We are suppose to be in the mid 30's today in Illinois. Sorry for the darkness of the first picture, but I took it early this morning so I could join Tabletop Tuesday!
One of my favorite newer pieces in the Cape house. My Bob Timberlake desk all decked out for Christmas.
It holds one of my favorite writing desk tole lamps, old Frosty, a couple of Valarie Parr Hill candle holders and rings, picture of the Tennis Girls, and a platter which Mr. Tennis empties all his junk, (oops, did I say that out loud?), I MEAN things from his pants pockets at night. :)

Hope you all have a great Tuesday!

My new computer has Windows 7. I am having trouble pasting when I highlight the blog name I want to link back to, hence the full blog address above. The word "paste" isn't highlighted. Anyone else having this problem with Window 7?
