Pastel Dreams

Sometimes I dream of the softer colors of summer.

* They remind me a cool breeze on a warm muggy day.

* Fresh fruit dripping with juice.

* Cotton candy and little children giggling.

* A sip of pink lemonade to quench a thirst.

* Clouds whisping across the jetstream.

* Wading along a beachfront with the wind tossling my hair.

* Curtains gently blowing through an opened window.

* The sound of waves gently hitting the shoreline.

*The scent of a freshly bathed baby.

* Slipping into a bubble bath.

* Easter Peeps

* Prayer and God's grace.
* I hope to never outgrow dreaming!

Button, Button, Who's got the Button?

I've got the button(s)!!

At least once a month I try to stop in to "treasure hunt" at our local Good Will store. So yesterday I spy this tin of buttons. The tag reads 99 cents so I ask the lady behind the desk to retrieve it from its glass casing. She looks at me mysteriously and says "that can't be right!" The buttons are sellng for a dime a piece. I did notice some additional buttons marked as such ~ however; this particular container was marked 99 cents. She called another assistant to question her on the price and she responded "it's marked .99 so sell it for .99"

Now I'm not a so called "button collector" but when I saw such a variety of buttons it caught my eye right away. I do have some crafting ideas in mind.

So that's my "deal of the day!"

My Cup Runneth Over!

Okay I'll admit I borrowed this from a friend but I found it to be so true ~

…With time, people gain weight because we accumulate so much information and wisdom in our heads that when there is no more room, it distributes out to the rest of our bodies. So we aren't heavy, we are enormously cultured, educated and happy. Beginning today, when I look at my butt in the mirror I will think....... ... Good grief, look how smart I am! Must be where the expression 'Smart Ass' comes from!

Personal note: I am oh so wise ~ My cup runneth over!

Show Off Your Cottage Monday

I've discovered a lovely site where you can "Show Off Your Cottage Monday." The link can be found in my right sidebar.

I'm always up for something new so I decided to do my first posting on their site. I have such an eclectic home, but I love the little things that make it all seem to come together ~ well at least well enough for my liking.

At first I just hung three little pictures ~ then I came across an empty frame. Of course I had to find the perfect place for it ~ and walla ~ oops, there it is. I love how it made the small grouping transform to a collective picture.

What once was a simple cup and saucer soon became a collection after my sister's visit. Upon her return visit she presented me with a little box holding matching cups, saucers and dessert plates that she said were just taking up space in her attic. I wanted to show them off so I put them in a huge fruit bowl with a few cloth napkins and grapes. They now grace my dining room table for all to enjoy.

It really is worth clicking on the picture to enlarge it. The cups are just beautiful.
