Passing On The Pink

Oh, My, Goodness!

My little granddaughters keep me busy. .

And how do you ever say no to a Granddaughter,

Or Grandson for that matter?

Well, whatever the little Princesses or Princes want

Grandma tries to please!

Princess Brissa just inherited

My Grandmother's Dresser. . .

It is nothing fancy, but

It belonged to my Grandma Dot

And it now belongs to my Granddaughter.

But first it needed to be PINK

This is how it looked. . .very 1950's

 This is the Grandma Dot Dresser now!

 Just perfect for the Princess bedroom!

 Grandma Dot would be happy that her dresser is so

Bright and PINK

I think it is fun to pass things on in a family.

My Grandma would be so happy that her

Great-great Granddaughter, Brissa

Has the beautiful PINK dresser. . .. that once belonged to her.

It was a pleasure and a joy for me

 To paint it PINK.

Hope you will visit Beverly at

Here Comes The Bride

I am so excited to showcase my

Wedding!

Oh, it was held over 44 years ago. . .

And yes, everything is vintage.

December 9, 1966

I married the love of my life

 The day was gorgeous and the evening delightful and enchanting.

The day before it had snowed,

So it looked like a Winter-Wonderland

Because it was in December my colors were Red and White.

 My Bridesmaids wore red brocaded satin dresses. . .

The bouquets were all white flowers, with tiny red accents.

My wedding dress has very simple lines.

Just like the 1966 brides all wore.

My dear sweet Aunt made the dress.

I still have it. . . .

(no I can't fit into it)

 A very precious memento of our wedding is

The Cake Topper

 After nearly 45 years I still have my cake topper.

It is very vintage.

 It sits in the protection of my curio in my living room

My grandchildren love to look at it.

 On our One Year Anniversary my husband gave me

This beautiful strand of pearls. . . .

I was so thrilled. . . he told me I was his precious pearl. .

The pearl has become the symbol of our love!

 My husband and I only had 25 years together.

He died at a young age.

I have missed him so much. . . .my life has never been the same.

But, because I know that 

  Families are Forever

I know that Someday

My Husband and I

Will Be Together Again

I am joining Angelic Accents for her

A Thrift Store Treasure

I am up to my head and beyond. .

Working on my project..

It is going to be a lo n g  week.

So far I have had 110 Diet Cokes. ..

But then who is counting?

The harder I work the more DC I drink.

(could be worse!) Right?

But, in all the chaos I wanted to show you

Couple of cute little thrift store finds. . .

 I really like this porcelain figure of a woman.

She is so delicate and pretty.

 Now I couldn't pass up these three little frames.

Notice the cowboy hat and cowboy boots?

I have three little CowGirls!

And their pictures in these frames will perfect.

Well, I wanted to make sure you knew I was still alive.

But drowning in a major project. . .

I will be back to show you.. . .

Come back. .. .K

Tender Sweet Pansy

Little Purple Pansies

Touched with Yellow/Gold

 Growing in one corner of the Garden old
We are very tiny but must try, try, try

Just one spot to gladden you and I.

 I would sing this little song in my Church

When I was a child. . . .

Maybe that is why I love little Pansy flowers. .

 I think they are so tender and sweet.

Did you know the Pansy name is a French word

meaning "pensee"?

Which means

Thoughts.

The flower is thought to bring the

Thoughts of Loved Ones. . .

The myth is that you can see a

 Loved One

In the Face of A Pansy 

In Victorian times

A young man would send

His girlfriend a small

Pansy Bouquet which meant

 He was thinking of her!

Gosh I wish someone would send me a

Pansy Bouquet!

Enjoy the Pansies in your Garden. . .

Cristie's Cottage

While visiting the Homeland a few weeks ago

I visited a very dear friend.

Cristie

She is a friend from way back in time. . . .

She is amazingly talented and has the cutest and cleaver ideas.

Her little Cottage is so unique and very Cristie

 Her small front porch invites you in. . .

 She has a lot of cute accents and vintage/collectibles

 The Fireplace

  She has a lot of shelves. .above her windows

Her son is a woodworking craftsman

She has vintage table napkins for window dressing.

 A beautiful vintage china hutch holds many collectibles.

 She even decorated the front of her dishwasher.. .

Isn't that clever.

 A coffee table/Shadow box

She made from an old weathered window casing.

 The gate that leads to her garden

 A beautiful ole tub planted with flowers. . .

The day I was there was windy and overcast. . .

So, I am going back on a sunny day to get better pictures.

My Friend Cristie. . .  Her Sweet Little Cottage.

Thank you for coming by. . .

Come back again. . . .K

Happy To Have Flowers

The weather here in Utah has been very STRANGE!

It is the First day of JUNE

The early summer flowers should be in full bloom. .

They are just beginning to bud!

Mother Nature has really played tricks on us

We live in the Desert!

We have had constant rain . . . . not the usual desert weather!

But,

No Worries. ..

The flowers some how always show their beauty!

In my little part of the world I found some

Beautiful Flowers. .

The Iris are in bloom

 

 And this large beautiful Peony is in bloom

The peony still has some tight buds. . . but with the

Warm days ahead they will show their beauty. . .

 One of my favorites is the cute little Pansie

Who doesn't love the little Pansie Face. .

I can just see the personality . . .

My friend has a rocking chair all in bloom!

I will show you more of her garden later.

Are you seeing Mother Nature's Bouquet?

I am going to link this with these wonderful blogs.
