This Saturdays Finds

I was so excited when I unwrapped these

 two Vintage Christmas Carolers

I was working Friday setting up for Saturdays 

Church Rummage Sale

So when these arrived in a donation box

I had to have them!

The colors are just not what you

expect for Christmas....

And then this Baby Planter

Not sure what it is about these planters

but the lambs are always so sweet!

When you start with something this cute

just imagine what could happen

if you go ahead and add more goodness!

Thats just what my good friend Elizabeth did!

This little pair was on the $1 table

I couldn't grab them fast enough!

I found some other goodies I'll share

with you in my next post

I hope your enjoying your Weekend....

Thanks for stopping by!

Where Have I been

Was Gifted some yummy Vintage 

goodies from my dear friend...

Look at how some of the buttons cleaned up

that darling Western Tin was packed full!

Made a few more Paper Posies for my Shop...

Did a little TLC yard maintenance

in and around our pond~

managed to get a splinter... ouch!

babysat for this beautiful couple...

two of our sweet grand-peeps

never have to twist my arm, I love it!

Spent Mothers Day afternoon at Zuma Beach...

 splurged...

and upgraded to an iphone

and now I can text...

Bought myself a pair of cute and

comfy shoes....

And now I'm looking into getting a haircut!

I've got a busy weekend planned

how about you?

Flocking and Playing... some shares

This morning I got busy...

Little Kitty Cat Heads in need of some flocking...

Hubby was the one that suggested I add 

flocking to my Paper Posy Dolls..

and I must admit great suggestion

thanks Mr. Saturdayfinds

A bit of pink flocking added

to the ears

Gives each one a little extra love!

And makes for a sweet Kitty Cat Creation

And for the shopping part of this post..

these images are from a tattered

and very vintage book

I picked up at a yard sale....

"I Like the City"

A School Text from 1958

The cutest graphics....

I love Vintage Children's Books

And I also Love

Vintage Dessert Cook Books!

This doll looks just like

my Vogue Ginny Doll that I got

one Christmas

So Whimsical...

I think I'm going to give one of

these cakes a try this year!

Well I don't know about you but I'm looking forward

to some Fun and relaxation

this weekend... 

We just had those crazy fires and now we have

some very poor air quality

in fact the fire is still burning....

Great Air Quality... NOT!!

So indoor fun is going to be it!

Might have to get out of Dodge..

Unless the wind direction changes

it's only going to get worse!

Not so much Fun!

Springing Into Spring!

Well now that I'm feeling much better

I'm  back to burning the midnight oil

working in my Studio in the evenings..

My latest projects my Banners

Each one with with a

Paper Posy Doll to add

a bit of extra sweetness......

I made a few of these a few months

back and sold them all so I've decided to

work on a few more to add to the Shop

Birthday Banner Keepsakes

And a few more 

Paper Posy Dolls

These 2 sold so I better get busy over here!

Oh remember that darling fabric I found

a couple of weeks ago?

After scanning the fabric I printed

it out on card stock turned out pretty

darn cute!

Now I'm thinking about just how to use it

in one of my Creations!

And this Pink Hull Kitty Planter

was gifted to me from my girlfriend

she found it at a local garage sale

great condition for 25 cents

Thank you all for stopping by

life has sure gotten busy..

Not complaining but I really would like

more play time... I'm sure you agree!

ox,

A Pink Saturday In April

So here I sit in my home Studio

just thrilled to be on the mend!

(Vintage trims from last weekends jaunt)

I know it's been in the news worst cold/ flu season

in 5 years.... But really just when I thought I was feeling better

I get slammed again.. fever and cold ugh!

I had the worst sore throat....

I found myself kinda feeling sorry for myself...

(pink kitty Banners coming to my Shop)

And then my thoughts went to my Uncle John... the best Uncle a girl

could have... he's also my Godfather...

Well he's going through another round of Chemo..

making his throat so sore he can barely swallow..

Sure made my feeling sorry for myself

almost silly!

Kind of funny how we can so easily get self absorbed 

in ourselves and especially when were sick!

I'm feeling better with my cold/ virus

Now I'm just counting on my Uncle John

feeling better~

Life is Ever-changing....

And sometimes I'm not sure I like it!
