What a cool old radio...can you believe I won it in an auction...and for only $23.00 SCORE!And....it works! How cool is that!?
Ahhh, to sleep like a kitty.....my little 'peekaboo' can sleep most anywhere....so where does your kitty sleep?
It's lavender harvest time.....and so it begins, cut...dry...de-bud...craft...
This is a quilt that I finally got around to assembling from blocks in a 'quilt block swap' 2008....The sad thing is, the lovely lady who was the "swap mama" for this swap, passed away from cancer several months later. I couldn't emotionally work on the quilt so I tucked the blocks away in a box.
The other day I was rummaging through some boxes when I came upon it... I decided I needed to assemble the blocks in tribute to Clare...
Clare's block is in the lower left corner.
"Clare.... I hope you like how it turned out & Thank you for touching our lives with your love of quilting."
This isn't a great photo, but it is of a lovely old sewing cabinet. I think it is from Europe as it has built in plug receptacles, but they are the round type prongs like they have in Germany...or?I love the turquoise serving dish...probably 1960's....I found it at "Hidden Treasures" an antique/collectibles shop in Airway Heights, WA.
Look what hubby brought me.....is this COOL or What?...it's a radio antenna with a horse head silhouette...it is now proudly on my Jeep.
Ok, once again I have gotten out of control with a can of spray paint...hey ya know what I always say..."if it moves, Salute it...if it don't...paint it!" lolol!
OK...someone hide the 'post-its' from me!....

The glass holder was only .49 cents and the Bundt pan was .99 cents...
I LUV spray paint! lol!
OK...someone hide the 'post-its' from me!.... Am I the only one who has to mark nearly every page with a post-it...to save that page? lol!
My dear friend, Bev, came across this book and sent it to me...my early Christmas present...what she didn't know was that I had been reading about the author, Sharon Shipley and this book... Bev...you know me all to well! Now can ya send me some more post-its? lol!
Cute! Lovely Bev, so sweet of her to send you that lavender book, perfect!

Your furniture is beautiful and that radio works???? How lucky are you? I remember those that's how old I am! Love your saying about spray paint and what a great color! RED!!! The antenna is too much...I love horses and have never seen anything like that...very cool!
ReplyDeleteHow do you grow lavender? I have tried and tried over the years and would dearly love to grow a lot of it but it always dies on me. Is there a secret? That book looks beautiful...of course I love books of all kinds and gardening and horses and old stuff...yada, yada, yada! LOL!
Glad you are enjoying the book!!! It seemed perfect for you. I found it at the Chicago Botanical gardens when we were there last month.
ReplyDeleteYou are always so busy, Gracie....bring your spray paint when you come for a visit....I will put you to work!!
Hugs
