Well hello out there in cyberspace ...

Anyone there anymore? Did you miss me??

Do you remember me?

Its been way to long since I did a Post on My Blog

Truth be told I was kinda locked out of it,

things changed with Blogger and I was stumped

on how to get back into my Blogger platform..

I tried numerous times and no luck.

But then today, yes just today my sister from Cottage Cozy called

me and said "you've got some very strange comments on your Blog"

Ok I thought let me try again I got out my trusty password book

and re-logged in and BAM! it worked so here I am back at it!

Of course a lot has happened in the world in my life since my last post

But let's skip to the good part!

I desperately wanted to share my recent Marketplace Find!

And I have to find like mind people that would

think like myself these are the cutest little Easter

Honeycomb baskets!

It always amazes me how any of these paper ornaments have survived

over the years. Very happy someone somewhere did treat them with

care so that people like us could treasure them once again!

I bought just 6 the seller had more, but keeping within my budget

and my Easter Tub down to one! 

I resisted the temptation... was definitely hard!

Well they arrived today in the mail!

each one stamped JAPAN

I knew you would like them!

Well It looks like Ive got some work to do on my

Blog to really make it working they way it used to

I plan on figuring that out. And I will keep posting

so please lets get this community ok like-mind

individuals back together again.

Wish Me Luck

Finding Vintage Dolls in Random Places!

This is exactly what I spotted on a shelf at my local Goodwill Thrift Shop

I must say it looked pretty messed up but in looking a little closer

I spotted one of my favorites.... a Nancy Ann Storybook Doll!

When I got it home I carefully Removed the massive amount 

of tape that was wrapped around this grouping.

Being ever so cautious not to cause too much damage.

Do you spot what I spotted the little doll with the 

pale ink bonnett?

Now the other dolls that were in that little plastic tub

were not impressive but I do know that just sometimes

those cheap hard plastic dolls body parts can come in handy

when I have a long forgotten Storybook Doll

that in fact is in need of a new limb!

You ask "how much did I pay for these?"

A whole $2.99.. not a bad find!! 😊

Happy 4th of July!

It's a bit of an unusual 4th of July here
in California.. Beaches are closed and the Fireworks are cancelled



So I kept busy doing some crafting ....

And Home Cooking!

A easy peasy Enchilada Casserole!

I hope you all Enjoyed your "Stay at Home" 4th of July Weekend

And now I'm busy in my Studio working on Christmas in July!

Thanks for stopping by!

Quarantine Crafting In The Studio

With months of staying home its really made me appreciate

the hobbies I have...

Crafting and Creating Sweet Keepsakes for my Etsy Shop

has always been a passion of mine...

Unfortunately Etsy has disappointed me .. it seems that there

are so many craft supplies and commercial items being sold..

and a lot of people that just copy others work!

And my Creations have just sat and sat ...

Giving me a Kinda sick feeling that maybe no one likes what I create!

 so I set out to look  for new outlets to sell my handmade treasures..

I'm Happy to say I have found a couple outlets for my Designs

and I am feeling once again energized that people out there

actually like my Creations... 

Sales are up and I'm getting positive feedback compliments

from buyers... with all the turmoil going on in the World right now

having this positive response well..... its a GOOD thing

And I'm back to my Blog staying positive..

Thanks for Visiting

What a Wonderful Month of Love!

The Colors Of Valentines Day!

Whimsical Vintage Valentines

always add a great touch!

These 3 Spun Cotton Animals were plucked

from Kohls Christmas Clearance 75% off

I had to reach to the tip-top of a Tree display

to rescue the Darling Elephant aren't they cute?

I was only able to do a little bit of crafting 

for this Valentine Season!

I did put this banner together so easy to do...

Using a simple Target Banner $3 just added some of my

Vintage Valentines using mini clothes-pins

so not to damage the Valentines!

We also had Company this month 

Our daughter and her Family visited

from Utah

And since I had all my Valentine craft goodies out

Amelie one of our grands stayed very, very 

busy creating whimsical goodies!

Thanks for popping by
