Missing

Sorry I have been missing in action from

my blog.  I was in the hospital again.

Illness can take a toll on you both

physically and mentally.  Especially

when there are so many unanswered

questions.  Thankfully Don was

there to help in my questions.

I am hoping to finish some projects

for a swap I am participating with

a fall theme.  Needless to say I am

a little late in getting out my package.

I really dislike being late for a

deadline.

I will try to catch up on visiting

blogs this week or next.  So please

accept my apology for not being

able to visit.  Blog land has

offered so many wonderful

friendships.  Thank you for

visiting my blog and leaving

such kind words!

Wishing you a wonderful day!

Rainy Mondays...

Hope your weekend was a great one.

The weather is starting to get cooler
in the evenings and early mornings.

Today was a rainy Monday.

In between do laundry, I played with some

vintage images using Photo Shop.

Here are some vintage postcards for
fall projects.  Enjoy!

Here are some photos of Gracie.

Unfortunately the house breaking

is not going so well with new one!

I really dislike the term house

breaking for training pets.

But today there was some success.

The training papers were used for

the first time.  I really have had

a hard time getting her to

learn those papers for not

for play.  But it is kind of

funny to see this 2' x 2' paper

go running across the room.

Here is Chelsea and Gracie laying on my papers

next the desk.  I was working on some new Excel

files this morning. 

My visit with my sister Carol was wonderful.

We had a great time shopping!

Yes, I did let her relax some while

visiting.  She read three books.

Wishing you a wonderful week

dear friends!

A sister visit...

My sister Carol is coming to visit us.  I am

looking forward to some outings with her.

Wishing all of my dear friends a great weekend!

Thank you for visiting with me today!

Vintage finds and an introduction...

Hope your weekend was a great one!

As promised I am sharing some photos

of my vintage finds with you.

But first I want to introduce you to

our new addition ~~

introducing Ms. Gracie Hope! 

She is now 10 weeks, 4.6 lbs.

She isn't going to replace our Sadie...

but we just love our Bostons.  She

is already showing her personality. 

Though the house training is not

going too well...she doesn't like the

grass too much.  But I have been

blessed with patience!

It seems that I can only take

a good photo of her sleeping.

Now on to the my vintage finds.

Here are some of the vintage books I

found this summer.

Here are some of my

vintage Christmas finds.

I actually found six of these goodies.

Though some of them have lost a wing. 

I still think they will look great displayed.

Some of the vintage dresses I

found during the summer.

If you follow my blog, you know I can't resist

vintage postcards.  I found about another 250

of them this summer.  Some of these goodies

will be on my handmade Christmas

goodies this year.

More vintage cabinet cards...

I can't resist these lovelies either!

I found these this spring while at Orange Beach.

There is some rub marks on them.  I really don't

know much about these ladies.  So I guess I will

be doing some research.  I may list these

lovelies in the my Etsy shop.

More hankies for my collection!

It takes a lot of courage to show

your dreams to someone else.
