It was a hectic, crazy, random Monday.

I was supposed to work yesterday but due to some scheduling issues on Thursday we actually had to change one of my days off at the last minute. By then it was too late to get my grandchildren for the day. Then my friend Sherrie wanted me to go with her to Walmart. Nothing exciting to share from Walmart. I don't think you want to see pictures of soap and trash bags. But on the way home we made a quick decision to run to Mountainside Mercantile antique store in Kodak. Saw a lot of things that caught my eye, but not enough to buy them. But I did fall in love with this vintage Fire King yellow bowl for just a few dollars. So it did come home with me.

She dropped me off just in time for me to get ready to go to dinner with my sister who is visiting. She wanted to take me to a semi-famous local restaurant, Applewood Restaruant, at the Applebarn. Their portions of food are huge. 

The look on my great nieces face was priceless when they brought out her pot pie. She thought it would like Banquet size individual pot pie. Wow was she wrong. Biggest pot pie I ever saw for one person.

The food was delicious. My great nephew has been sampling various banana puddings while he has been here and declared this delicious. 

Me and Rachel were going to share a piece of Hershey Chocolate Cake. They put it in front of her and we tried it. She loved it, but I took one bite and it was to sweet for me. Which is odd considering the two of us I eat way more chocolate than she does. 

When I was pulling photos from my phone to put on my blog this morning, I found one my granddaughter Shelby apparently did last week when they were over and playing on my phone. She loves those crazy apps where you can do things with photos. This is a normal picture of Shelby.

When she had my phone, she took a picture and did "her thing" to doctor the picture up in that app. It's a little on the wild side, but then again our Shelby marches to the beat of a different drum than the rest the world. 

I do have to admit it's pretty cool what she does with that app.

Well, have a great Tuesday.

Let us pray....

Here is a milk glass piece I have never seen before. Isn't this amazing. I would love to find these. 

I used to have one of these small trays in clear glass. I would love to find one in the blue.

My day has been a crazy one so I am very late in posting. Praying that you had a great day.

My yarn addiction

I love yarn. All colors. All styles. There are a lot of things you can do with yarn that don't involve knitting or crocheting. I saw this pop up on a website and fell instantly in love. Let's face it, I try every year to find ideas to make for fall and Christmas and I fail miserably to find the time. So I am starting now on making things for the holidays.

What follows is a hodge podge of ideas of things to make with yarn that are simple, easy, and cheap. I won't make it all but at least I have things to choose from now. Plus it's an easy way to use up my old yarn from past projects. So here are some thoughts for the upcoming holidays.....

Friday Foto Friends

I love vintage glasses. I am slowly getting a small collection. 

I was walking on my road the other day and they had just mowed. I love the look of a fresh mowed yard. However, I realized that my little home needs some flowers on the end of it. I say I am going to every year and every year time gets away from me. At this point, I think I will wait till September and put me some mums on the end facing the road where it looks so bare. I also need some hanging plants for the porch and never have gotten around to that either. For somebody that loves flowers and has them in vases and patterns of things all over her house, I am pathetic about taking care of the outside.

But I still get to see the wildflowers in the field across the way. Even if it is mostly Queen Anne's lace.

I had a pretty picture of a cow pasture, some corn rows that are perfect and a beautiful pink bush. But when I transferred them from my phone to my laptop they completely disappeared. Not sure what happened.

Have a great weekend!

Somethings to make you smile....

Hen's and Roosters

I love roosters in my kitchen. Over the years, I have decorated with many themes. But no matter what the theme was, I found a way to incorporate a few roosters. Now with my vintage Pyrex and the assorted colors for a country kitchen, roosters hold a prominent part in my kitchen. I was looking online for some new roosters and check these out. This is a Jim Short rooster. She is so lovely.

I like this one as well which was another Jim Shore.

This is a vintage cutting board with a rooster painted on it. I just love this.

A set of vintage Holt Howard roosters. So whimsical.

Sometimes I just love plain white. Not sure why, but I do.

But this was just too cute. A stackable cream and sugar set.

Okay, now I want to go antique shopping again to look for some vintage chickens. Maybe next week I can find time. Have a great day.
