happy thanksgiving

i wanted to wish all of my american blogging friends a very happy and blessed
thanksgiving day ... i am so thankful this day for the friends i have made here,
and for the encouragement and inspiration you have given to me ...

i don't have any cute thanksgiving images to share ... so i thought i would show
you something i made the other day for my Christmas tree using a vintage baby
bootie that i had ... i made two of these ... one is for a friend ... hers is a little bit
different than mine ... and i will wait until she has it before i share it here ...

i hope you all have a beautiful day!

junkin' monday

so, i thought i would have to sit out for another junkin' monday ... this virus i have is just
kicking my rear end ... and i don't feel like doing anything ... but ... my peeps still have to
eat ... so when i went on my grocery store run thursday ... i thought since i was showered,
dressed and in the car, i would drive down the road to one of my favorite shops and see if
there was anything pretty there that caught my eye ... there was ... this oh~so~lovely
vintage glass hankie box all smothered in ribbons:

oh my! isn't it yummy?

the ribbons are deliciously faded and tattered ... just how i like them ...

that's it ... one little purchase ... but it is enough ... i love it so much ...

be sure to stop over to "nice and easy antiques" to see what everyone else
found for their "junkin monday" post!

shop update mini

i had my felting supplies out today ... and made this:

if i can get my computer to cooperate, i will be listing it here ...

i keep losing my internet signal ... so aggravating ... this is the first time since this morning
i have been able to get on my blog ... it took five attempts to complete this post ... i will be
around to visit you when i can!

white wednesday

happy wednesday to you! ... i thought i would play "white wednesday" with Kathleen of
"Faded Charm" today ... while i don't have a lot of white things ... i did find more than i
thought i would ... once i really started looking ... and i will share just a few with you today
... i have to spread them out, so i can play in the weeks to come ...
