Red & Pink

With Valentine's Day soon approaching I decided in this post to mostly use items that have red or pink in them.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day. 

These Fire King mugs are the only ones I have with red in them in my ever growing collection.  The Fire King white bowls with red polka dot's were a garage sale find many years ago that I have posted before.

The Chocolate factory sign and mug are new additions to some Lucille Ball items I have.  The purse and shoe ad have been posted in a previous post.  I've always enjoyed her humor in her shows and my favorite movie with her will always be the 1968 Yours, Mine And Ours also staring Henry Fonda.

This compact is a new find.

I received this paperweight a while back from a friend as a birthday gift.

This needlework was done by my husband's mother, it was hard to get a good picture since it's under glass.

This is one of quite a few pictures she did that I like.

A Dream Of A Slower Life

 I spent most of last week thinking about what I wanted to post this week and I wasn't coming up with any ideas.  On Saturday I decided to go with an idea then on Sunday I changed my mind and decided to go with the following post.

I've been thinking about how I would like life to be a little less busy, rushed and stressful.  Whenever I have these thoughts the family cabin in Sechelt, British Columbia Canada comes to mind.  It's been well over two decades since my grandmother sold it, it's funny I always thought it would be there for the family.  Right away I go back to sitting on the porch in the morning drinking tea listening to the water lapping on the beach Gordon Lightfoot, Bob Dylan and so many others singing.  I would look out and see the sun shining on the water thinking the sun was dancing on the water and the islands in front of the cabin standing proud.  Walking into town spending a couple of hours looking around hitting the second hand book store for some books.  This is always where I go to in my memories when I want to feel life has slowed down a little so many good memories to remember.

I found this sign last summer at a garage sale and thought it fit in this post after all when I look at it I thought of the cabin.  I added the enamel brooches to add more of a Spring look.

I found this small Pyrex refrigerator dish it's in the Spring Blossom Green pattern, it came minus a lid.

I have a friend who collects books with poem and pictures by Cicely Mary Barker so whenever I see them I pick them up.  She has this one so this book will go to her granddaughter's collection.

I don't know what it is about powder compacts but whenever I find one if  I can afford it  I buy it.  This one was made in England.

Wedding Update:

I thought I would pull my mom's wedding dress out to show it's a bit wrinkled well not a bit a lot.  I won't be wearing it there's not a chance of me squeezing into it.  If we had not lost my dad they would have been married 49 years March 04th.

I'm not planning to wear a traditional wedding dress but something I can wear again.  I'm thinking 50's early 60's style the above pictures are some examples of what I'm thinking.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by.

Denise
