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.

Water Theme Pictures

From The Family Collection

I never grow tired of going through old pictures especially when they're family pictures showing my family history.  The following pictures are a water theme.  I always dislike having to say this but once again I do not know where any of these pictures were taken.  The first one looks like rushing water.  The second picture looks like a lake with cabins by it.  The third picture looks like a lake with a suspension bridge going across the lake.

Old pictures And Flowers

Time is flying for me I haven't had much time to think about what I'm going to blog about today so I thought I'd share some old family pictures and my garden pictures.

These old pictures are from the family collection with yesterday being the first day of summer I picked some pictures that remind me of summer.  Tenting was the family vacation when I was growing up I would have loved a Teepee like in this picture instead of a plain old tent.  The yard with the flowers is a setting I would liked to spend my morning having my coffee maybe reading a book.  The bear is a fun picture and in fields around us we could see the bears at this time of the year.

This hanging basket is in my vegetable garden to add some color.

This Peony I'm calling my surprise Peony since when I bought it; it was supposed to be white but yes I have a pink Peony .  I had a full day to enjoy it then the downpour began.  Thank goodness for pictures since this is now how I'm enjoying my Peony.
