A Mother's Day Post

I was all set to do another theme for this post when my husband said that next Sunday was mother's day so everything came to a halt Saturday night and I started replanning my post for today.  Know the theme you got it I'm sure is set around mother's day.  I hope everyone has a wonderful and special day next Sunday and Happy Mother's Day.

This Sherman brooch was supposed to be a Christmas gift from my wonderful husband which he forgot about and found a little while ago.  This happens quite often I usually receive Christmas gifts throughout the year.  Don't get me wrong I like getting gifts anytime I just find it amusing when he comes in from the garage with a Christmas gift months past Christmas.

The locket in the picture was my husbands mother's and inside when I opened it stored in it for safe keeping was this paper cut out of a child's art work which I thought was special and I thought was something my husband had done for her.

however he assures me it was not him.  His mother was a teacher so we think maybe a student might have done the cut out.

You may remember back a few posts ago I posted the blue jar above well I went down and unpacked the two other jars to show you the three I have found over time.

The above Pictures above are from my husbands family photo's .

I couldn't stop myself I just had to add This Anne Taintor Picture.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by.

Have a lovely week.

Taking Time To Smell The Flowers

You know that saying stop and smell the roses that's what I want to do.  The last few weeks for some reason have felt very hectic.  It's going to be nice having a long weekend next weekend but of course I still have to get through one more week of work.

Even This Channel 22 ad from the November 1967 Chatelaine magazine has a model taking the time to smell the flowers.

These flowers are from around my yard this summer I love being outside and seeing them decorate my yard.

This dress is a blast from the past and has a flower pattern going on.

 

You can find alot  of these vintage wooden hangers in my closet there something I collect I like the markings on them because they tell a story.

 

I was at my friends house a couple of weeks ago and took a few pictures around her yard.  Her dog Lily is making her debut in this post.

A Drive And Finds

This post has some pictures from a drive we took last Sunday.  And some finds found at the secondhand stores.

I stopped on a country road and picked up some flowers at this stand.

These pictures are from the drive.

This collage is a blast from the past with this dress.  I'm guessing it's from the late 1960's or early 70's.
The chip bowl is missing the dip bowl and holder but I thought it would make a good salad bowl.
The pineapple looking candle is in colors I like and was kind of different.

This mug was made in Sadler England I'm guessing late 1960's or early 70's.

These leather purses remind me of ones I had as a kid in the 1970's.

This is the middle size in the refrigerator set I believe it's the Butterfly 2 pattern.

I've finally got four wheels in the garage.  I've wanted a gardening wagon for awhile.  I found this one last week at a secondhand store.  Sadly my truck still sits in the driveway.
