dreamin

It's a rainy blustery day today, It will only be 45 degrees ...what a difference a week makes! So, I am dreaming about my favorite place...it is a three hour drive from my house and we try to get there as much as possible...The Split Rock light house in Minnesota. Where is your favorite spot to visit??

a flip flop kinda day...

yipeeee...it is going to be a flip flop wearing day today! the high is suppose to be 75 degrees...the normal high is 45....so I got the flip flops out of storeage and I can't wait to go outside and enjoy it! I hope everyone else is having this kind of weather today....enjoy!

What to do...

Since I am taking a hiatus from the antique business, my husband would like me to sell off the remaining objects of junk in our little one stall garage...but what to do with it??? actually use it as a garage? (it has never been one)or set up my old wicker couch and chair and use it as extra sitting area in the summers? or insulate it and use it as a studio year round...I have been thinking about making a room in my basement into a craft room, which would be nice but it gets a little chilly down there in the winter months. Any suggestions?

You are invited....

Kari over at Artsy MaMa has come up with the smart idea to host a tea party today! and Everyone is Welcome! Enjoy the day...

Welcome SPRING!!!

Tonight it will be offically SPRING! Can you feel it???

Baby Love

Need I say more...

Before and After

These are my before and after pictures of my booth at a antique show that I did called A gathering of friends. It was so much fun creating this booth! Spring is my favorite time to set up for a show...This sale is held in a ski chalet. So it is quite a challenge!

a view from my monitor...

I glanced up from my monitor this morning and saw this out my window...Good way to start off a Thursday. A minute later, it was gone...Thursday's are the best...especially when Gray's Anatomy is not a repeat! Have a great day....

here are some more...

Home Tour

Just thought I would share some pictures of my home...I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy living here in my little saltbox!

Skis for sale?

I hope everyone is having a laid back Sunday like I am...just sitting at my computer with my feet up reading blogs (of course in my sweats). I was taking a picture of myself and my husband walks in and says what are you doing? I told him I was taking a picture for my blog...he says skis for sale? oh so funny. I know my feet are giganormus (size 91/2) but there is no need for that! anyhow, it is so nice to have a day to do nothing...they don't come along that often.

Saturday morning bloggin

OOps. I was planning on taking a picture of my pretty vase filled with Cadberry eggs, can you tell they are my favorite! I got up this morning to take a picture and they were almost gone! I think my husband likes them too. But as usual he will blame it on the cat. I had to post a picture of the cutest little jacket that my little niece and I found for her at Old Navy and it was on clearance.. No eating this jar of eggs, they are fake.

A girl and her truck....

oh! the possibilites...I need to hit the road and find some good sales! it is almost that time,when garage sale season begins...I can't wait.

my first attempt...

well, here is my first attempt at making this bag. I used remenants of vintage fabric that I had in my stash...It is from tiny happy! she posted the pattern on her blog...(thank you). In the middle of making this tote my machine (the one I have had since I was sixteen) broke down. So, I broke down and bought a new one...glad I did!

Visiting G-ma

Addison loves her great grandma, she knows she has been thru a lot lately...so she is extra smiley when g-ma holds her. She is such good therapy for my Mom! My Mom's eyes light up when we walk in the door, it just makes her day...My Mom lives in a assited living facility and little Addison is sure a day brightner for all the residents! I am so grateful I have these two lovely ladies in my life..

Think Spring!

Snow Day!

Welcome to Minnesnowta!Here are some outdoor scenes, taken from the warmth of my home... 18 inches on the way. So grateful I don't have to travel today! just stay and in watch the snow fall, and bake!
