Crazy About Glass & More

I can't believe the beautiful weather we have been having here in the Fraser Valley in British Columbia everything is coming out early this year.  This lovely cherry blossom tree is outside a window I can look out at, at work and I took this picture this past week.  There's a beautiful blue sky in the background of the picture. 

I've been so busy with home reno's but I took an hour to hit a local second hand store this week for a bit of a break.

I love glass so these finds are always great when I find them the blue glass jar was what I found on my outing to the second hand store this past week.  The blue paperweight is something I've shared before but have added to share again plus it fits into this collage so well.  The lamps my husband found at the local flea market this week.

This Connie Francis record I also found on my outing to the second hand store.  On the back is a ad for Silvikrin Shampoo which I've never seen before on a record except on some Christmas records.  I like Connie Francis some songs by her like Where The Boys Are, Lipstick On Your Collar and Stupid Cupid are just a few songs she recorded.  I can remember watching some of her movies like Where The Boys Are, Follow The Boys and When Boys Meet The Girls which also had Herman's Hermits, Louis Armstrong, Sam The Sham And The Pharaohs and Liberace in it.  There's so many old movies I remember watching as a kid and these are a few with her in them.

These garden features are from Van Dusen gardens in Vancouver, British Columbia I may have shared them before but have decided to use them again since gardening season seems to be starting here. 

Thanks for taking the time to stop by.

Have a lovely week.

Febuary, Mid Century Modern Finds & Valentine's Day

This winter has been a rough time for me as I had a terrible cold in December and yet again now.  My house clean out is on hold right now though it was going quite well till I got sick again.  The above picture of tulips make me think of Spring which I'm ready for but right know I'm just dreaming of.

My husband and I have both been collecting the above Pyrex bowls to add to my collection.

The above pieces are mid century modern pieces.

The clock and wall sconces I found a while ago in a worldwind stop at my favorite local second hand store.  My husband dropped me off, I had ten minutes and I surprised him coming out with a box full of stuff from a store I usually spend about forty five minutes in.

The lamps I found almost a year ago with no shades. I have been trying to find matching shades for them.  I haven't found them yet but the above shades are what I'm looking for.

Since I'm only posting every 2nd week I'll have to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day now since it will be over before I post again.

I Can't Help Falling In Love

---------------------------------- 

Wise men say  only fools rush in

But I can't help falling in love with you

Shall I stay, would it be a sin

If I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea

Darling, so it goes

Some things are meant to be

Take my hand, take my whole life too

For I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea

Darling, so it goes

Some things are meant to be

Take my hand, take my whole life too

For I can't help falling in love with you

For I can't help falling in love with you

Song writers: Hugo Peretti, George David Weiss, Luigi Creatore

Thanks for stopping by.

I hope you have a wonderful week.
