Loving my Retirement...
The latest of my Apron creations! This one is perfect for Martini time!
Here I am working on the scrollsaw, don't look to closely or you will see primer pint on my hands...
Back in September my daughter & I played hookey from responcibilities and snuck over to Coeur D' Alene, Idaho for a sunny afternoon of strolling, eating & shopping, something we are very good at!.
Notice the matching shirts? That is my hubby~Gary(he is the one on the left~LOL!) The turkey (one on the right~ more LOL!) was cut out by my hubby & painted by our daughter for a local Garden Nursery.
Last but not least,,, our first snow here in Spokane, WA. It was 6:30am & both my hubby & I were out side in our jammies taking pictures of the snow to send back to our family & friends back in California. Sadly it was melted away by mid day.
As always if you click on the pictures you will get a closer view...

My darling husband, daughter & I spent a lovely afternoon at the Arbor Crest Winery, viewing antique cars and watching glass artists create lovely items, jewelery etc from glass. Oh, & yes we also sampled some delightful wine and listened to some great jazz music. "Cheers".
What a lovely view from the winery of the Spokane River and the Spokane Valley below.

Here we are having our '54 Chevy BelAire loaded up to be transported to Spokane Washington. Yep, she is cool & we look forward to cruising in her next summer. There was a '69 Camero on the transporter & my hubbie tried to talk the driver into a trade, good thing I was there to stop him! LOL!!
I love this old car & my old hubby too!.

Clothes Pin Holder
Here is a bag to hold my clothes
pins in. I rememeber how "Moms"
use to use them to store their
clothes pins in, back in the
1950's & 60's. Some were plain
and utilitarian while others
were quit fancy. So I just had
to make myself one to hold the
decorated clothes pins I am
swapping over at Maryjanesfarm.

EllyAnne Geisel, author , The Apron Book...
What a delight to meet her, in person.....I had to be pretty crafty to make sure that either my daughter or hubby bought me "The Apron Book" for Christmas, & it paid off. I love the book (and had it displayed next to my vintage blender, go a ways down on my blog, & click on the picture to get a better look at her, I mean my book!)
She is delightful and so sweet, the epitome of southern charm, and yes she was wearing an apron. In fact she had a little vintage suitcase filled some of the aprons from her collection. How cool!!!!!
For those of you not familiar with her book, what are you waiting for,,,,go buy it,,,you will love it! In fact in the back of the book is a pocket with an apron pattern....I have not been brave enough to cut out the apron pattern yet, silly me.
Once I get settled into my new home in Spokane, I plan to sew like crazy, & yes, EllyAnne, I will finally cut & use your apron pattern.....
EllyAnne, thanx for a delightful encounter, blessings to you & may you have a safe trip home.

Apron Swap...& look @ what I got!
Peek-a-boo possing with my wonderful handmade apron & goodies that came from "Herbquilter" over @ the MaryJanesFarm website. She is so talented.
The apron is handcrafted from vintage lace & draprey fabric. The tea is a blend of homegrown lavender & speremint, yum! & wonderfully scented home made soaps. I feel so pampered.
Thank you herbalmomma.
