Sunny Day Events & Past Finds

Well the husband and I have a week off this week we are painting our kitchen and bathroom.  I hate painting so thank goodness one of my friends and her daughter are coming over to help.  Painting has never been my thing and if left on my own it will take forever.
 

I've always liked glass even as a child I would look for glass on the beach.  These vases are a group I've removed from my collection in the thinning out process. 


The shoes look like if you put them on that you're ready to hit the disco I saw them awhile back at a Salvation Army thrift store I did not buy them but took this picture to show my niece.
The Paris France keychain I bought about two months ago but just found when packing up boxes.
The metal moulds are the same ones I use to make a metal Christmas tree in my Kitchen. Instead of stacking them on top of each other to make a tree instead I stacked them inside of each other to make it look like a flower.
This Snoopy candle was a late fall find and needed to make an appearance in one of my posts so here he is.


The weather we've been having here in the lower mainland this month makes me think these flowers and plant should be outside when I go out there.  Of course they're not so I'm sharing these pictures from last year with wishful thoughts.

      From The Family Collection:

These are family pictures from both my husbands family and my family we each know who the people are in one picture each in this grouping.  I picked these pictures because they're of outdoor activities that happen in nice weather.



Thanks for stopping by.
Have a great week.

A Garden Theme

Today I'm going with a theme of things you would find in my garden or related to something you would find in my garden.



- This birdcage I found in a second hand store a post was added then planted in the garden.
- The licence plates are something I've always Liked the 1967 white plate with red lettering is the year Canada turned 100 love that history connection in the background are my tomato plants. The 1961 plate I got just because I though why shouldn't I have a pink plate.
- I found this oval shaped flower frog at the flea market I'm going to use it on my desk to hold pens.
- Among my holly hocks, Dahlias and blueberries is my flower. The Fire King mug I believe the pattern is Groovy.

Pyrex, Cherries And A Hosta

What should I blog was my question the subject I planned to do is nowhere ready to be put on my blog.  The following is what I decided to share.


I'm so happy to see B.C. cherries have hit the shelves.  It's always nice to know our farmers have a crop to sell.  These cherries are in a small square white Pyrex bowl and will not last long in my household.


This Hosta is called Fire and Ice and was added to my Hosta garden this year.  When I bought it at the plant store I met some friends there and the second youngest who is three he helped me pick it out.  That boy has taste.


From The Family Pictures
This picture is of my dads cousin having a quiet moment by the water.  She was an avid photographer as was her father who I think took the picture.  Yet again this is all I can tell you about this picture.

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.
