Seek and you will find...

Today while I had a wee bit of time to "look", I decided to stop at the new local antiques store and another really great one that has been around a while. I'm always on the look out for antique canning jars, I'm also collecting antique kitchen... tools? I already had three really nice jars, a really old biscuit cutter, a rolling pin, potato masher, a dipper, and an enamel funnel so my collection is growing. Check out my finds!




For about $39 I found.... a really pretty tin (?) vegetable bowl with fruit on the outside. Two antique Ball jars with solid metal lids, a really ... odd canning jar with glass top and metal pull down tabs, a pyrex (?) glass vegetable dish, an antique hand seive, TWO beaters which I JUST LOVE, and two vegetable market baskets (okay so they were only 25 cents each and totally not antiques but I liked them). Great day for "looking."



AND those wonderful chics over at SITS are giving away an ADORABLE handbag so go enter.... or... don't (might make me have a chance to win LOL)...

Wordless (okay almost) Wednesday

This past weekend, my son, his fiance, my daughter, my sister, and I repainted quite a bit of my house. I just love a yellow kitchen. It's a pale yellow and just looks so ..... happy! I've "rediscovered" some of my favorite things in the process...

I collect antique canning jars. (okay so I just started and only have three but I love those three old jars) I also LOVE the little Yorkie shown here!
My foyer looks so... crisp with its new barely offwhite coat of paint.

Check out this fun summer swap opportunity! I'm signing up!

Babies grow up....

What an adorable baby.... looks kinda like the Gerber Baby..












She's just... perfect.... sweet... cute... DIMPLES....



She's also...

all grown up now.....

ADORABLE little boys..... chubby cheeked... ALL boys... 13 months apart... cute as they could be...

Also..... ALL GROWN UP!

I recall vividly having people tell me "enjoy them while they are little because it goes fast" (or something very similar). At the time my daughter was a baby and my sons were 4 & 5 and ALL BOY. My thought was.... HOW FAST? Now however, when I see a young mom with little rambuncous (spelling just ain't my thing) kids, boys especially, I hear the same words coming out of my mouth and meaning it. I'm not by (my standards anyway) over the hill or old, but I do miss the days of little kids. The age of discovery, innocent mischief, wonder... I miss cuddling with my sons and daughter. Indeed, it does go fast, so if you have some precious little ones... Enjoy them... it goes fast!
