My Grandmother Stella May Boudreaux gave these to me. She has great taste and has a birthday tomorrow. She will be 88 years old. She is a blessing to me. I call her and my Grandpa almost everyday and have the best time chit chatting. I am 46 and still have them in my life. It is such a comfort to me to know they have each other and are there together.

Has 1969 written in pencil on bottom. My Grandma Jane did that. She would write on the bottom of her collectibles. What is it about pink? It is a magnet to me always!

While I did not buy this, (I think it was 45.00) I had never seen one except on Flickr. So it was fun to get a picture. Fernandina Beach and Amelia Island are such neat places to find "treasure"......

Inside page of My Little Blue Story Book 1966

Went to Goodwill this morning right when they opened. I see the same people there almost every time I go in the morning time. It is like a coffee club. They all talk and discuss what they find and want and don't want and what they are going to do with the treasure. All walks of life shop there. I can tell some people are uncomfortable shopping in Goodwill, not me!

Ck out all her cool pictures!

I have been officially Crowned!

Mary Ann from "Follow your Bliss" sent me an awesome package! My paper crown was so cool. The paper she used really made it pop! My tea cup and saucer were perfect pastel! She even sent me an apron, in a paisley print. She sent me three buttons,which were so well done. I found her blog and "Follow Your Bliss" has become one of my reminders when I get a little weary trying to be a Wife and Mom and Sister and Daughter. Those are the most important things in my life and I am needed less and less in the "Mommy" department. Having a 17 and 13 year old daughter is a first for me...LOL That is what we tell the girls, "We've only been parents to you all!" LOL, they are good girls. It is a big change that I knew was coming,but has been harder dealing with.
