Pussywillows From Home

They tell me spring has fully sprung in New York...

...my favorite time of year.

I guess it's time to go home!

Packing cardboard boxes full of goodies, little thrifting treasures...

...odds and ends picked up here and there...to bring back north. 

Thank you for all your kind comments

 and well wishes for my family.

So much sharing...so much love...

We appreciate it.

What are you up to this week?

:)

Family Matters

 

This week has been a roller coaster of emotions.

We were thrilled to finally see and spend some time with my sister Lynn and her husband Steve.

 We shared special loving memories as we marked the first anniversary of Mom's passing.

We all miss her so much.

On Friday, we were shocked and saddened to learn that my dear cousin Rich

 suffered a massive heart attack and passed away.

 We had just lost his brother Doug to cancer at Christmas.

 ...an unwelcome and painful reminder of just how quickly time passes...

and how fragile life is.

And yet we are so grateful for 

  God's many blessings.

Today we celebrate Daniel's 28th birthday.

The best son ever!

My Mom with Dan when he was just a little guy.

(She loved this picture of herself with Dan).

Remembering the angels in our lives.

Seashells...courtesy of a beautiful day at the beach!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hoping the week ahead brings all good things!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day

Found Bits And Pieces

 I picked up a few bits at a sale here in Dad's retirement village.

A pair of sweet French clay santons.

A lovely blue and white transferware dish...minus its cover.

I plan to fill it with succulents or perhaps a few herbs

 and keep it in my blue and white kitchen.

A few yards of creamy white crochet trim.

You can never have too much of that! (:

Or too many of these...

...mother of pearl buttons.

Delicious...like candy!

A child's faux cameo ring...

...something so sweet about it.

And a lovely Limoges bone dish.

That's all for Show and Tell today!

I've been picking up odds and ends as I find them and will be cleaning them up

 and getting them ready for a photo shoot or my little booth of treasures soon. 

Hope you have had a great weekend!

Thanks so much for stopping by...

:)

Sea

A glimpse of the sea...

...as promised.

Hoping your weekend is restful and calm.

Crown

The Canadian dealers who I purchased some Crown mason jars

 from last year at Renningers were set up at Webster this week

 and I picked up a few more jars.

They are all clear glass but the embossing

 is slightly different on each.

I love the crown.

Playing with Picasa for a bit of an artsy effect.

It was a beautiful day here in Florida...85 degrees!

The azaleas and knockout roses are blooming...

so lovely!

I will share some pretty flower pics and beach photos soon.

Do you have any exciting plans for the weekend?

It's almost here!

:)
