A Week Of Surprises

These last two weeks have been full busy days also they have been full of surprises to do with family.

My husband had something really good happen on his family side which I'm not able to go into detail about.

My side of the family also had something happen which was sadly not a happy event as we said goodbye to my great aunt yesterday.

It's always nice to see the family it's just not the event you want to bring you together.

The poem above was used at my aunts funeral I had never heard it before and I liked it so I thought I would share it.

Whenever I think of my aunt the one thing that always comes to mind is dancing, her and my uncle where great dancers.

She was at my wedding last year and it was funny because I did mostly 50's music and slowly added other decades music throughout and she said to my friend that she was enjoying the music and when the new stuff started it would be too bad my friend told her not to worry she wouldn't have to suffer through at lot of new music.  It was nice to know she enjoyed the music I picked. 

My uncle and aunt gave me 64 paperweights to add to my collection so for the next while I will be sharing them with you.

I'm starting with the above ones which are not signed.

I found this mug holder it was originally avocado green and someone spray painted blue it but missed some spots I've decided to leave it the way I found it.

The mug was made in England and has blue and avocado colors the same as the mug holder a perfect fit.

This Rubik's cube is great and had to come home with me. 

Thanks for taking the time to stop by.

Have a great week.

It's All About the Flowers

I'm waiting patiently for  the sunny type of Spring but all we have is Spring showers.   

This Hydrangea makes me dream of pretty flowers.

The flower paperweight is my Spring and Summer in the house.  I can't have plants in the house because my boyfriend has cats and one of them is stupid enough to eat them.  A vet  bill for over a thousand dollars proved this.  The cats where here first so I'm out of luck.

The green flower frog is green cloudy glass with some fractures in it, made in England around the 1930's.  It's one of my favorites even with it's imperfections.  I got it at a flea market and I almost missed it,  it was on a shelving unit behind other things. 

and here is the reason plants are outside not inside:

Its almost spring - next Tuesday.

A Little Feel Of Spring

A Little Feel Of Spring

My Hyacinths at my front door help me think of Spring coming soon.

My Small White Pyrex Collection

By scouring thrift stores and second hand stores I've only come up with these two vintage Hamilton Beach mixer bowls with a ribbed pattern.  The smallest container of a stackable oven refrigerator set they were introduced in the 40's.  Of course my search is still on I need to find the missing glass lid for this container.  And my one small vintage white bowl. 

Paperweight

I found this paperweight at the flea market all the swirling colors

A Few Paperweights

This paperweight was found at the MCC which is a second hand store. The paperweight makes me think of Spring with the light swirling colors.
The pictures are from the side and top looking down.

I chose this paperweight for my blog picture.
