Vintage Bottles



I am always looking for vintage bottles when I am at flea markets and I found some at Canton last month ~ Yay !!!
It is so much fun to embellish them and these are the last ones that I did just today ~
I really love roses so these are probably some of my favorites so far ~

I also found these beautiful Robin's Egg Blue bottles too and I love them !

Pink Friday "For the Birds"



Spring is here, and you don’t even need to look outside your kitchen window or open your front door to know it. Just waking up to the sweet melody of a backyard robin cheerily singing outside your window is enough to tell you that life is renewed and spring is reborn. The birds of spring have returned and the earth reawakens.

Outside, in our fenced yards and open fields, brightly colored bluebirds and streaked song sparrows flit between tree branches and land carefully among the budding leaves. Singing songs of love to each other, chirping madly over jealousies. Bringing home odds and ends to build their nests - bits of bright string, broken twigs. Items insignificant to everyone else, but the stuff of life for the feathered set.
With the return of spring, we find our winged friends building homes in every unclaimed corner…. under the eaves of buildings, in riverbanks, on rocky ledges, suspended from tips of tree branches, hidden under flaps of loose bark. Even in the nest boxes we offer up with hope. Hanging baskets, mail boxes, old boots, flower pots. Any place that somehow looks like home.
No matter where we live, or what the season, avian accessories create eternal springtime in our homes too. Birds and their nests placed carefully upon our shelves, painted delicately on a wall, stitched on a delicate needlepoint. Perhaps we invite into our homes the same birds we see each spring.

Parrot green, robin’s egg blue, bright canary yellow, flamingo pink. A rainbow of color unfurls inside and out of our homes in the hopes of eternal spring.

Make sure and join Katies Rose Cottage and the participating shops at Make Mine Pink for Pink Friday "For the Birds" ~

Congratulations to My Baby Girl


It amazes me how quickly the years fly by ~ the years of mommy and me, park play days, play doh, walks to pick spring flowers, crying at the first day of school and rocking to sleep are sweet memories ~

Our youngest of two girls got engaged on her birthday in March ~
Oh my goodness !! The excitement and planning begins ~ It seems like just yesterday we were planning our oldest daughters wedding and that was 2 years ago ~

Congratulations Josh and Stephanie !!
