SILVER SUNDAY

If you want to see some beautiful silver, be sure to go over to Gypsy fish .... I could spend hours looking at all the amazing silver and also meeting so many new friends who have polished up their silver for a fun day of 'show and tell'.... And .. she's also having a give-a-way! :^)

Rainy Play Day

I bought this stack of huge cupcake looking papers a long time ago ... Not knowing what to do with them..????

Then I won Linda's give-a-way at
Robin's Egg Blues
It was a little bag of treasures.

So thanks to Linda and another blog where I got the idea to make flowers out of coffee filters, I made this Valentine ball to hang over my dinning room table using the cupcake papers instead of coffee filters and some of the things I got from Linda.
Please let me know if anyone knows the blog that showed how to make the coffee filter flowers ... I've looked and looked but I can't find it.

I'd really like to thank the blogger for teaching me how to make these flowers... And of course ...Thank you Linda

BEFORE AND AFTER

I've always hated this corner of my kitchen ...

and I'm sure you can see way.

We believe it was a space for a small ice box back in the day
I have been looking for something that would fit in this small space for years ..actually I've always wanted a Hoosier cabinet but there was no way ...
Then last week "I found it"!!!
Here it is! ... It was in a little shop in town ... We measured and re-measured ..and then measured some more ..and "yes"! ... It was made to order... As you can see it was made for that spot .... I am so happy ... and when I'm happy ... everybody is happy. :^)

Joe

My husband Joe has a new blog ...He's at Joe's hiking adventures ...If you like hiking and nature I think you'll enjoy his pictures.

"I GOT MY PRIZES"!!!

Look at the sweet little cameo that was part of

"my treasures"

from Linda at Robins Egg Blues

The sun is shinning and I got a sweet little package in my mail box ... It's a special day on my corner .... Look at all the 'toys' I get to play with ... I'm trying to think of something to make using all my beautiful things ... hmmmm? ... I'm sure some of you gals could just whip something up without batting an eye.... It may take me a few days to come up with something, but I promise to post a picture of it as soon as I do.

Thank you so much Linda for all the pretty little things .. I hope you will all go check out Linda's blog and see what she's giving away now. ..

A great big "THANK YOU" Linda ... and a GREAT BIG (( HUG))
