My Sweet Birdhouse Collection

I was going to dust today. Yeah, yeah, I know......DUST?!?! Yep! Anyway, as I was taking these off the tables and shelves I thought, "Maybe I could put them on my blog for all to see." So here they are. I love birdhouses. Some I bought and some of these I've made. I didn't do the painted ones. The log and wood large ones are 2 I made when we lived in California, so they're over 14 years old. And if you look reeeealllly close you can see the dust! Now I'll go dust them and go shower. Hah!!!

My new book arrived today!!!

Look what UPS brought me today: 2 books I ordered last week! I'm soooo excited to sit down tonight and see what little treasures and eye candy await me. Ooooooh, it's almost like a kid in a candy shop today seeing just the covers of those 2 magical books. Hey, I might even share some of the photos in there for y'all to see, chicks!! I'm grinning like a man on his wedding night. I'm so easy to make happy - a book or a tag or a piece of shabby roses fabric. :-) I am such a cheap date, gals!!

Sassy & Saucy 50s Glam Tags!

The first photo is what came in the mail today as a gift I won from Bertie of auntmayscottage! Oh, it is so gracious and gorgeous. Thank you, Bertie. It was a combined package of a drawing I won and a gift for the anniversary of our group I started a year ago. I just love the women in our group. They are ALL so wonderful.

The last 2 photos are some "glitz and glam from the 50s" tags I did today. Pretty roses fabric, feathers, buttons, porcelain roses, ribbon roses, snippets of lace and snippets of yarns and rick rack. I think my next ones will be paper though. I think I'm gonna like paper better than fabric.

Vintage Sewing Drawer

Isn't this lovely? My daughter made this for me. She does mosaics. She rarely sells them though. I've told her to start and she has. Visit her by clicking here:



She has some beautiful tiles and items for sale. Her hubby, Bill, does all her painting. Now if I can just figure out how to get her dad to do that for me!!

Is This Darling or What?!?!

One of my daughter's acquaintances sent this picture of her guest room. I just love it! I want my office to look like that! Her mosaiced chairs are just fantastic also. I'm gonna work towards my office looking somewhat like that. I probably don't have as much room as she does but, hey, I can dream, can't I?!?! :-)
