Easter In Southern Utah

I will be gone for a few days
Celebrating Easter in the
Beautiful Scenic Red Rocks of Southern Utah
 This is where me and my family go every year for Easter

My family and My Brother's family
Come together and enjoy each others company
And the beautiful earth the Lord has given us.
There are few places as unique and beautiful as
Southern Utah. . . .
I will have lots of pictures to show you when I return.

Easter Basket and Tea Cup

I promised I would show you the
Easter Basket Tea Cup Swap
I sent to my new Blogging friend
Lynn in Pennsylvania.
If you would like to see the complete post
please click HERE. . .
I will reveal the Tea Cup and Saucer
Now that she has received it. .

 This is what the decorated basket looked like
It was filled with all kinds of things.
  And the star of the basket was this beautiful
Tea Cup and Saucer. . .
To tell you the truth. .  I had a hard time parting with this Tea Cup
I love the pedestal. . .
This shows how filled the basket was. . .
Bunnies, note cards, crocheted doily, hand lotion
a cute creative pen. . . and chocolate!
I had fun filled the basket with things for
My Tea Cup Swapping partner. . . Lynn in Pennsylvania.
Happy Easter.. .

Well, Saturday I received my Easter Tea Cup

I can not believe how beautiful my tea cup is
and how absolutely wonderful all of the goodies she sent me.
Just take a look.
There are lots of pictures. . . I was so amazed at it all
I wanted to capture it all to show you.
Enjoy!

Isn't this tea cup gorgeous?
Top picture captured the true color.
A beautiful vintage piece.
And just look at the goodies!

I love vintage lace and buttons. . . .

These two pieces are out of this world beautiful


A little china doll. . .how sweet
And just look at this vintage Easter card!

I just can't believe how Lynn sent me so much that I love. .
The tea cup alone would have been enough

What a fun party to participate in.

Thrifting Treasures

Oh, I love going to Thrift Stores
And you know my favorite is DI
Well, this time I found not only some things for myself
But, I also found something for my Daughter-in-law. . .
Ya, she likes things from the thrift store!

Just look at this cute cup and saucer. . .
 Well, Daughter-in-law actually found this at DI
She knows I am trying to find tea cups and saucers for the
Princess', and thought I would like it.
 She gave it to me, bless her heart, but I could tell she really wanted it
. . . But greedy me,
I took it with pleasure!
 A couple of days later, I was at DI
And low and behold there on the shelf was the
Matching Tea Pot!
 75 cents for the Tea Pot. . .I snatched that baby up real fast.
But, there is no way I can start collecting Tea Pots.. .
Oh, No! I am collecting too much as it is. . .
So guess what? I stopped being greedy and I gave the set
To my sweet Daughter-in-law. . .
She was very very happy to have them!
 I found these cute bowls
 This one on the bottom is wooden. . .
I thought it would be cute on the patio with a potted flower in it.
 I love the patina on it. . .
 It is very unusual and pretty.
 I found this picture and frame. . .$1.50
I really like it. . . the frame is very antique looking.
I know exactly where it will go
I will show you later where I will put the picture.
I love going to thrift stores. . .  There is always something that
Catches my eye.

Come back again. . . .K

A Cherished Memory

I have reached a time in my life that
Everything I own is
Vintage
And I am thankful for my that.
It all represents a treasured Journey. .
A Journey that started a long time ago
In another Time - - In another Place
 I wouldn't change the journey I have taken for anything.
It has all helped to increase my
 Wisdom, Patience, Understanding
And most of all Love.

A treasure of my
Vintage Life
 This is the topper to my
Wedding Cake
 Like so many "things"
It has been with me on my journey.
For 45 years this little Vintage topper has been
Treasured and Protected.
It represents so many emotions and memories
Most of all it represents the Love of a young couple
 Embarking on
An Eternal Journey. . . . that lasts
FOREVER
Do you still have your wedding cake topper?
Please do come back. . . . . K

A Pringles Challenge

Hello, Hello
Oh, the sun has been shining where I live.
Thank you, thank you for sunshine!
I just had to take the Challenge. . .
To Decorate a Pringles can.
For some odd reason, I like to decorate
Old discarded things and tin cans and
Pringles Cans are my favorite.
I know just another little oddity about me.
Believe me there are many!
Cute little Rose Vignette gave the challenge
And I wanted to join in.
Here is what I come up with.. . .

 Fabric is like paint---it will cover anything
 Lots of ribbon and lace
 And if you don't have a crocheted rosette- - make it!
Just another frilly little thing to put
precious things in. . .
Nothing fancy, just frills.
Oh, and I love frills. . .
Hope you enjoy. . .and hope you are having
Sunshine wherever you may be.
Please do come back again. . . .K
