Glass, Vintage Fabric & Postcards

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter holiday. 

Time is going fast around our place doing projects, but the projects are not going very fast.

I can't wait to finish the house projects so I can hit the second hand stores once more.

These paperweights were gifts from my husband.

I was given the above dishes by my aunt.

The white bowl is  Pyrex which is holding a Hydrangea plant in it.

I decided to put this Anne Taintor picture in this post since the pink casserole dish in the oven looks like a Pyrex dish.

The above collage is of vintage fabric.

These are slightly weird looking postcards.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

Have a great week.

Things I Could Not Leave Behind

Do you ever feel like you are going backwards instead of forward? I feel this way quite often.  Lately for me it's been the weather, a couple of weeks ago I was wearing my Capri's and flip flops then that was done and I had jeans on again and the umbrella back out. Yesterday we had another nice day and I was out working in the yard, it was nice to feel the sun on me.  Of course I live in beautiful British Columbia, rain will again come back but  B.C'ers roll with it.

I notice new life finally starting in my yard.

This delicate lovely plant is Solomon Seal,

 this picture is from last year as its actually just started to come up.

I found this double honey pot holder at a local secondhand store,

it was just so special I couldn't leave it behind.

This apron is finished on both sides which gives you two looks with one apron.

I collect paperweights and I saw this one with this cute bulldog on it and it went into my basket.

I love this bag I found another one with a different saying and picture  on it a few weeks back and posted it in my Monday, 11 March 2013 Coffee On My Mind post.   The pink and white small Pyrex bowls are a nice find I'm always happy to find a piece of pink Pyrex it doesn't happen often.  This lovely flower mug has a Spring feel to it and was made in Japan.

These cherry blossoms look so cheery.

It's All About the Flowers

I'm waiting patiently for  the sunny type of Spring but all we have is Spring showers.   

This Hydrangea makes me dream of pretty flowers.

The flower paperweight is my Spring and Summer in the house.  I can't have plants in the house because my boyfriend has cats and one of them is stupid enough to eat them.  A vet  bill for over a thousand dollars proved this.  The cats where here first so I'm out of luck.

The green flower frog is green cloudy glass with some fractures in it, made in England around the 1930's.  It's one of my favorites even with it's imperfections.  I got it at a flea market and I almost missed it,  it was on a shelving unit behind other things. 

and here is the reason plants are outside not inside:

Its almost spring - next Tuesday.
