I married in 1955We were Navy people and I moved to San Francisco with a nearly four month old baby at the age of nineteen as this was where my husband 's ship was stationed...at Treasure Island...he would be out five weeks and in one week, so I grew up fast!!!<br />I remember the bread and pastries trucks and the ice cream truck coming around the housing project!!<br />The apartment was also furnished and paper drapes had just come out so I saved up to buy two pairs, at $1.oo a pair, to cover my living room windows..they just had window shades!!<br /> In the 1960's we lived in a small Louisiana town (we were out of the Navy by then) where you could go to the Piggly-Wiggly grocery store<br />to shop and then just sign a ticket and at the end of the month you paid it....there was a lot more trust then than nowadays!!<br /> Loved all of your pictures, as usual. If you want your front door to be PINK, DO IT!!!! If you don't like it, all it takes is another color painted over it. Our front door is a bright PINK with the rest of the house white and the shutters a pretty shade of green..<br />we love it and so many people have<br />commented on it!!<br /> Thanks for sharing with us today.<br />Hope you have a great week...<br /> Francy (Yasmin)Yasmin Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07457311241674488619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8975543655113692584.post-32326897217317230472012-03-31T14:24:29.547-06:002012-03-31T14:24:29.547-06:00Hi Connie,

It took me back to the days when times were incredibly tough going and living paycheck to paycheck and not being able to afford basics for the kids. We had one vehicle and I walked everywhere with my two children. I still shop at thrift stores...that hasn't changed but life is much more better. I love all your photo's! Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful weekend.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />LisaCEO Lisa Anne - L.Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15176932702224620848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8975543655113692584.post-48527840040492643142012-03-31T13:57:25.342-06:002012-03-31T13:57:25.342-06:00If you allow me I'm already following!

There is a home delivery service that is called Schwan's. They sell groceries and frozen food products by order. Kind of expensive.<br /><br />Love your inspiring photos as always. This is what makes it fun to visit you. However, I like your stories best. You are right about your blessings. We have been blessed as well.<br />Happy days to you and yours.<br />Jeanne xoJeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496069719875179788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8975543655113692584.post-10331497447715110462012-03-31T12:14:55.637-06:002012-03-31T12:14:55.637-06:00Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and for ...Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and for your lovely comment:) These are some wonderful inspiration photo's!

I'd be lost in the organization of so organized. Funny, I was very organized at work. Very pretty thread thingies (spools?) and that jewelry is quite exquisite. Too unpolished in that weathered bathroom - though I love weathered things. Maybe it was the tub enclosure that over did it for me? Enjoyed your post . . .

I don't know where you get them but they make me happy! Sometimes, I look at a room that somebody else created and I think that it's been in me to do that but somehow those people have been able to let go and just do it, you know, just abandon themselves to the creative muse. And the result is always mind blowing. Go ahead, Connie, and paint your door pink! I once lived in a neighbourhood with a house with white siding and pink trim and the front door was pink. Every time I walked by that house, I had to stop and look at it. It was sheer eye candy!<br /><br />For instance, those white and pink stripes in the bathroom, the pink door, those beautiful craft rooms. As for the shabby chic treatment, I don't like it to be exaggerated. For instance, I could not live with a piece of furniture like the one in that bathroom. I loved that photo of the tent you had yesterday. So romantic!Lucillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08216586118985900266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8975543655113692584.post-3994129120295855242012-03-30T06:05:25.517-06:002012-03-30T06:05:25.517-06:00i remember those days, Connie...
