Honey Bear

I was making up the bed in Kate's old room here at the lake house this morning as my inlaws will be arriving this week...
There are many charming children's antiques and girly things in this room...
...it is where our three sweet sisters stay when they visit.



Last spring I found this antique doll and then in the summer I found the little old dress that fits her just perfectly ...



...a bit short but she has cute knees...



These three friends were excited as Mr. Flea brought up a package that I had received from Margaret at The French Bear this week. I won her fabulous give-away a few weeks ago.

Let me introduce...











Isn't she darling?
Thank you Margaret for this beautifully made bear and thank you to your granddaughter for pulling my name out of the hat!

Honey Bear is quite happy in her new home with her new friends.

I don't know if it is as hot where you are as it is here on the East coast right now...
...but if it is...
...think cool thoughts!
...or, as I am considering...
go jump in the lake!

:)

If you are so inclined...we are grateful for a few extra prayers tonight as my Mom has her first chemo treatment tomorrow...
Thank you!

Spending Time with Sisters

This week I am looking forward to spending time with my sisters at the lake house....



We all lead such busy lives...I truly cherish this time together...there will be lots of sharing, talking, laughing, planning and dreaming...

(These two teddies belonged to sisters....second cousins of my mother in law....they were given to them by their father when they were young girls... almost 100 years ago....)



I am so grateful to have wonderful sisters to share my life with....

(The copper plaque above was found at the thrift store.....only $1!....maybe we'll get to do a little shopping...thrifting...junking and antiquing this week too!)
