Fresh Vanilla for C and Me!

The other day I received a kind comment from a girl named Cheryl

 from the blog  Fresh Vanilla For C.

 She told me she was my newest follower.

 Well, I realized with that comment that 52 FLEA had reached another milestone...

so I thought I would recognize that and, in turn, 

feature Cheryl's fairly new and very lovely blog. 

Here is Cheryl.

Isn't she cute?

Cheryl is a mother of two who loves to decorate, 

garden and hunt for treasures.

Her favorite colors are cream, white and blue.

Sound familiar? 

:)

All these photos are from Cheryl's blog.

Apparently she loves all the same things we do!

She also has a lovely Etsy shop

 with vintage finds and handmade treasures called

My Soulful Home.

 I quickly signed up to follow along with 

Fresh Vanilla for C

...so as not to miss a single beautiful post!

You might want to pop over and say hi...

I think you will enjoy meeting her.

A special thanks to ALL of you who have chosen to follow along 
with 52 FLEA...

...and a big hug for those of you who leave comments
 to let me know you are out there...

well... you know how good that feels.
(hugs and comments!)

This year has been a tough year for my family

 and for so many of my friends.

 Perhaps it has been tough for you too.

Thanks for hanging around...

when my posting was frequent and when it was sparse.

 Thanks for your support when I needed it.

...and finally, I couldn't resist sharing last year's photo

 of our dear Starla who we had to say goodbye to this summer.

We miss our kitty this Christmas...wasn't she a sweetie?

She still makes us laugh and smile...

 remembering her antics and her endearing ways.

 Wishing a beautiful holiday to all my friends...

Merry Christmas!

Happy Hanukkah!

Happy Kwanzaa!
