Valentines Continued...

My new Cath Kidston Apron.... LOVE LOVE LOVE!

I found these UNUSED and COMPLETE over 50 year old valentine books on Etsy.

On the back cover of one is this game, pin the heart on the apron....LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!!!!

I still can't believe they are totally uncut after all these years!! I wanted to make something out of them, but changed my mind, i just can't cut them up.

Valentines Day Wreath

My new valentine wreath i made.  I so love holidays!! It's very simple to make i bought a simple wreath form at the Dollar Tree and tied 5 different ribbons around it, it took exactly 4 spools, each, of the 5 different ribbons, and Voila! you have a simple, cheap, beautiful wreath!

October

October is my very FAVORITE month out of the year. I'm in love with everything about it; the colors, cooler weather, leaves turning up here in the mountians, halloween, i could go on and on......

(Mr. Jack my very own Halloween Cat)

A month full of HAPPINESS!!

Vintage Goodness from Aunt Carolyn

Sadly my Aunt Carolyn's Mother-In-Law Willa Gray has been in a nursing home for several years now, her sons decided to rent out her house. My Aunt knows my LOVE for vintage kitchen stuff and brought over these jewels to me after cleaning out the house. The women renting the house had actually put the apple cake carrier and canisters out in the trash pile!! the cake carrier is a little rusted, but still beautiful to me! she also brought me an apron hand made by Willa Gray, and 4 Fire King green glass mugs. They certainily have a place in my home now and i will treasure them forever. I have to say Mrs. Willa Gray Miller had some great taste back in the day!

St. Mary's Episcopal Church

Anytime i have a bad day or just feel like i need to be alone to talk with God i stop by St. Mary's, I feel so at peace there.  I just love of old churches, but this one especially holds a special place in my heart. I felt guilty even taken pictures inside, its such a sacred place, but i wanted to share it with others.

I am in love with its beauty, from the fresco's painted by Ben Long, its beautiful greek revival architecture, the very colorful stained glass windows, to my favorite painting the laughing Christ.

I have always said if i am ever blessed to get married, i would get married there.

Star of My Own Life

A quote from one of my favorite movies The Holiday

"Your susposed to be the star of your own life, not the best friend"

Why do i always feel like the best friend?

Mr. Rooster

Mr. Rooster has set outside by the basement door for like 40 years, my Granny knows i like anything old, i mentioned i liked and and she gifted it to me!!

I took him in the house and cleaned him up. After all that time outdoors i was surprised how well the paint had kept. I just LOVE it, one day he will have home in my kitchen!!
