Thrift shop goodies

So ds and I head out to the thrift store in search of a used vhs player for my dad.
Of course there are always other things to look at while there.
We were fortunate to find a player and hoping it works for a while.
I also found a sweet little vase that I thought would look pretty with daffodils or tulips in it.
What do you think?

We are having a beautiful day here today.  The temps are in the mid 60's and by Sunday our high will be in the 70's.  I am most definitely looking forward to that.    Wishing you all an enjoyable Spring day!

Until next time may God bless you and keep you.                                                                                  

                                          

My flowers are blooming

       I didn't realize how much I enjoyed sunshine until we didn't have any for awhile.
So to take advantage of the sun and the cool breeze we are having I put a load of wash in to hang out later.  Hopefully I will have the sun long enough to get a few loads on the line.

    I took a couple of pictures of my flowers blooming inside and outside.
The daffodils seem to have taken over this little spot just on the edge of the woods.  It just so happens that they are growing where we buried our beloved Ruby, our first Boston terror.  ;-)  But we loved every bit of her terror and now we talk about the stories she brought into our lives.  It has been a long time since she passed but we keep her alive still in our memories of her.
I was happy to see all these flowers covering her.

My violets have finally come into bloom. These were once one and they split into two so I re-potted them. But the smaller of the two doesn't seem to be doing well.  I don't know if I will be able to save it but at least it has a couple of blooms on it.   The glass bottles were a gift from my son on my birthday this year.  I had planned to fill them with bath salts but they look nice on the widow sill so I will           probably just leave them there.                                                                                                      

          I have enjoyed our little visit so until next time may God bless you and keep you.

Spring things

I just love Spring.  This season and Autumn are my favorites I think. Not too hot, not too cold.
And I love all the colors that come with these two seasons.
 Today I thought I share a little of my Spring decor.  I love that I can decorate my Mom's hutch. The fact that it was her's means a lot to me.

I can remember where it was in our house when I was growing up and it just seems like a dear old friend.

Of course Spring puts me on the path to ridding the house of the dust and cobwebs that try to hide from me when I do my cleaning during the winter months. But in the Spring the windows can be opened to let in the clean, fresh air.  I suffer from allergies so my two favorite season do hinder a bit.
So this morning I decided to bring some of the pretties from outside in to brighten things up.

My daughter gave me the table cover embroidered with violets for my birthday a couple of months ago.
And of course I have to have something with ladybugs on it!  :)

I hope you have enjoyed my little visit today.  It is a quick one I know but today is a busy for me here.

Thanks for stopping by and until next time,have a great day!
