Stepping OUt
I am going to set up a booth at a local Antique store in a near by town. I am very excited and overwhelmed. I have been tagging and wrapping my goodies for their journey to Adel GA. Valdosta does not have a venue for me to use. The drive is short and back country roads that I enjoy driving. A plus is my Brother and his family live there too! I am going to tag my goodies with clip art tags, like the ones above. I have a 10x10 space. Better get back to work on it.

Valentine's Day
My sweet hubby bought our daughters and I each a dozen roses. I love pink so I was thrilled to say the least. I am hoping that the girls remember all the things Rob has done for them, when they are considering a husband. Romance never goes out of style.

"Copper "
Close up of Copper girl,
I love this... I googled a variety of descriptions and as always found something very similar on Ebay. One person said it was to "hold an air plant" another described it as a candle holder...... I am going to stick with planter...... Whatever you want it to be is fine by me!

colette
I love this picture. Huldah Cherry Jeffe is the best for this style. I sold this in my Etsy shop "Bug on the Green Vintage"......... It is not by Huldah and I am trying to learn and google who this artist is.

Taylor Smith and Taylor
I love Taylor Smith and Taylor dishes. My Mom gave me most of what I have. It has such a cool retro feel. It is reminiscent of the Avocado colored appliances. I display my dishes in my kitchen all the time. I am hoping one of my daughter's like the pattern so I can pass it along to them. Vintage is so "IN" right now in fashion and home decor, and I'm lovin it!

elf in my tree
I saw this little guy today at GW for 10cents. I am still finding cool Christmas goodies. I have this silver tree which had Christmas ornaments, then hearts. I decided to sit him in the tree looking down smiling at me while I surf the net.

Alphabet of Love
By Solar Forst with decorations by Pat Stewart
This is a cute little book I found thrifting.. I decided to take it apart and am going to either list on etsy or use myself. I think I may frame some pages and try to find the exact color salmon velvet to accent it with. Honestly the written part is not that great and since the binding was coming apart this was the best way to use and enjoy it. Valentine sentiment that is not RED..........LOL

Goodbye 2008.
More than one blog I've read lately has talked about being content in 2009. That truly is one of my goals. I have been a Christian for over 25 years and when I go back to journals and notes I've written, that is one thing that I have written down many times. As I've gotten older and hopefully wiser I have valued the relationship I have with Jesus more and more. It is a security for me knowing I can call on Him. It doesn’t make me worry less,,,,,,,,,LOL I wish it did, the relationship prompts me to remember what the standard is, be loving, gently, kind, etc. AND CONTENT........I am going to work on that among a long list of other things,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Partridge NOT in a Pear Tree......
For a hand made ceramic piece this has tons of detail. I was going to put it in my etsy shop, but my daughter loved it. Her fav part is the eyelashes.............It is interesting what draws us to things. I know right away if I am going to get something. First comes the rush of adrenaline and then the grab!!!! She is 18, and try as I may to block out the fact that she will one day move out, she is getting her own design style!

I got this at Goodwill today. I was very excited to find it. I love finding neat books like this one. I think it is quite rare.
It is turning cold here in South Georgia. I have been finding some really neat blogs lately.

Miller Studio Chalkware doggie on malware plates
Fun, fun.......This really is not that old made in the 70's, now to my daughters that is old! There is something about Pink and Black that I love. This is the girl dog and there is a boy out there somewhere. I googled them and saw a set on ebay.
