To those of you who haven't seen yesterday's post I would recommend viewing it. I offered just a little bit of help with the new blogger interface. I'll be doing a more in depth tutorial in the near future, but it takes a long time to do a tutorial with screenshots. There is also a tutorial on taking screenshots with your computer if you have any interest. It is located on the side bar just below Blogging Tutorial. It comes in handy a lot of times.

Growing up in a military family had its advantages and disadvantages. One advantage was we traveled a lot and lived in many different places. One disadvantage was we traveled a lot and lived in many different places. You get the irony of this I'm sure.
Being a shy kid, I hated changing schools but especially in the middle of the school year. You know how it goes: Your parent takes you to the new school and registers you and then you are walked to the new classroom and introduced to the other students as you stand up at head of the class. I hated it. I was always mortified to be the new girl in class. I never got over the feeling of not belonging any place. That's one of the hazards of being a military brat. I'm guessing that many kids of military men didn't like it much either. Maybe that's why at this point in my life I don't like traveling. I absolutely love staying at home.

Aren't these cups/glasses beautiful? I'd love to have some.
Reminds me of Puerto Vallarta and the beauty of Mexico.
Cute and sweet and easy idea for an outdoor party.
Definitely an English-type home. Beautiful.
Pink cushions, but the table looks pink to me also.
Don't ya just love this?!
With the thatch roof this has to be in England or Ireland.
Roses touch me in a way nothing else can. Just their beauty calms my soul.
I know those of you looking at this now are wishing it belonged to you. It looks to be somewhere in Spain, Italy or France.
A very intricately thatched roof.
Somewhere along an old country road.
Yes, this is a little girl's playhouse.
This home reminds me of old English mysteries, which I love.
Another office or studio idea. Easy, quick and cheap.
Anything like this catches my eye. I'm a lover of eye candy for sure. But this also gives me ideas.
This house could be anywhere in the world. It's just a classic stately home.

Hi Connie! We moved a few times when I was in grade school and I know the feeling about being introduced in front of the class. Sigh! Not easy at all! Thanks once again for taking the time to dig out those beauties.
ReplyDeleteI love the fabric covered spools, that magnificent tub fit for a princess, and that magnificent cottage with the stonework on its walls.
Brings back so many memories of all the gorgeous homes in England, Scotland & Ireland that we visited & in the countrysides. Your pinks are just beautiful ... the glass cups I'd love to have.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day ~
TTFN ~
Hugs,

I was an Air Force kid and we moved around lots also, one year going to three different schools in one year, in one town! Daddy kept finding a "better" house. lol As hard as it was on me as a child, now I can look back at it from my mother's viewpoint, having to pack up her household over and over. I love the rooftop garden. How cool to have a "secret garden" out of sight like that! Also loved the spools. Neat idea. I have lots of vintage wooden spools..........
ReplyDeleteI was a military brat too only we didn't have to move since Mom was in the Canadian Army Reserves. Momma was the 2nd woman in all of Canada to become a major. I love staying home these days too! I love the pick roses cups. Roses are so beautiful. I am so glad we didn't have to move like you did. Although I was not shy as a child, I am now! I think I become more and more shy as I go older. I like the pink cups too!
