finds

vintage hat from an estate sale. i considered removing the flowers.. but don't have and ideas on what to do with them.. so i'll leave it alone.


i found the cabbage the other day.. well i found this sweet original cabbage patch kid outfit and had to get it for her.. anyone who collects cpk knows it is hard to find these flower overalls!




vintage nightgown. i love the old lace on these. they date from te 1930's- 1940's usually. sometimes the 20's. found at the antique mall.


france storybook type doll. from the same este as the hat. they had a bunch.. but i just chose one. i love her red striped skirt and little purse. all the dolls were in plain cardboard boxes with their country stamped on them.


and last a 1920's -1930's child's hat.. so sweet! love the feedsack type fabric. and a bargain at just $2.00! from the antique mall.

swap from my sister amy.

this month's theme was cherries and strawberries. well the cherries were hard to find! so she just got me some cute cherry buttons and the rest in strawberries! i love everything! and she made those thank you cards herself! thank you amy! love you!

i won 8lbs of buttons on ebay and i am really happy with the keepers. lots of pink, lots of fancy plastic, cryatal, glass and china. and quite a few on cards.

have you ever had a dream....

that was so real.. like you could feel it.. and you were so happy.. and when you woke up it took you a few minutes to realize it wasn't true.. and you felt like you had lost something wonderful? this is what happened to me this morning.

MY NEW BABY OWL!

simple summer

this is our peach tree that my mother in law grew from a peach pit! it has gotten huge!

he always drinks the water! so we got him a lead free water hose for when he plays. did you know regular hoses have lead! yuck!




kids can get so much fun out of something so simple :)

mikey at the carnival

they has a "special persons day" at a local festival. so any kids or adults with special needs could ride the rides for free and without the regular crowd and waiting. so we took mikey and he was so brave! he rode alot of rides! even some by himself! they also gave up a hot dog lunch.. so it was really nice!
