A Mish Mash Of Pictures

What a day my phone won't download the pictures I wanted to use onto my computer so I'm working with the ones I have stored on my computer for this post some you have seen before but others are new.
Yesterday my husband and I went for his and her X-rays.  His was for his right shoulder mine my left foot and left shoulder.  You could almost call it a date Lol.  My cousins wife said we should play the hokey pokey Lol.  This getting older stuff sucks when doctors and tests are involved.





You might have guessed that I have an Eiffel Tower theme going on with the pictures above. 
It would be nice to one day visit France.


A friend had a baby boy a couple of months ago she has an owl theme going so that's the theme I used in the baby quilt I made for him shown in the picture above.

The above pictures are just some fun ones I put together.  The black and white dress was the one I wore for my wedding and the wedding dress beside it was my moms wedding dress there was no chance I could have worn it.  The picture below the dresses is the hairstyle I wanted for the  wedding I found it in goggle images but sadly that is not how my hair turned out sadly it was my own fault enough said on that topic. The rest are just some fun pictures to do with fashion.

These pictures I took on the grounds outside of  the Fort a historic site in Fort Langley, British Columbia.
They were taken Sunday January 03rd 2016 on our winter drive we took with my cousin his wife and their baby son.  We were getting ready to go tour the Fort when the baby let us know in no certain terms he had, had enough.  we scrapped the idea which was okay since I wanted snow pictures in the Fort winters the only season I haven't been in the Fort and taken pictures.

A Look At Things Scottish

Robbie Burn's day is coming up on January 25th 2016 so I decided to post things that have something to do with Scotland.  I did a post called "A Little Tartan And Finds" in a January 2014 if you are interested in looking back at it.



These are a few cookie and candy tins I have collected over the years.


I'm afraid this picture didn't turn out that good but as you can see I'm still using it. 
I wanted a picture with a selection of different items so here it is. 


I was at The Market a local favorite store I love to check out and took pictures of things as I walked around the store.  I also found some dining room chairs we bought that I hope to show you in a future post.
 

The above collage are a few pictures from my 2014 post I mentioned at the beginning of this post.


This brooch I found at a second hand store just before Christmas.  I was going to leave it behind as it was a bit more then I wanted to pay but there's something about the thistle design I like in jewelry.


 These two Bracelets are Scottish  I received them as Christmas gifts from him this past Christmas.
I must admit the one on the left is my favorite.


All the above pieces of jewelry are brooches but the one with red stones it is for wearing a scarf.


I was at a antique show a couple of months ago and came across this mirror and powder compact for a reasonable price so I had to get it.


The above scarf  is 100 percent wool made by Johnstons of Elgin in Moray Scotland.
They've been in business since 1797.


This paperweight was a gift to me this past Christmas from some friends it's made by Selkirk Glass Scotland in 1986.


It was a cold frosty day last Sunday and we met up with my cousin his wife and their son who's just over 4 months old now at Wendells in Fort Langley,  British Columbia for breakfast then we went for a drive so I could get some pictures which are in the collage above.  These are a few I actually took over 222 pictures.


I almost forgot the lamp, it was one of my husbands flea market finds and he told me if I didn't like it we didn't have to keep it.  Apparently me calling it the ugly lamp was not a clue to him what I thought of it since he put it up on our family room wall.  Last week we had a 4.8 earthquake here and I watched it shaking on the wall hopeful it would fall off and break but no, it stayed up.  I guess it's a survivor. Lets hope he doesn't find to many more of these kind of great finds.
