White Wednesday and an Introduction

With only one more White Wednesday
before Valentine's Day,

I wanted to share with you what I put together
 for my daughters for their little Valentine's gift.



I like to take everyday objects and dress
 them up with a little inspiration.
Ribbon and shredded book pages with a few candies
decorated two sweet vintage cow creamers
from my herd in the kitchen.


After Valentine's Day when the kisses are gone,
they can change out the ribbon for Easter.


And speaking of "Inspiration",
 I want to share some good news,
especially for you in the area.

I will be hosting a "Shop Blog"
for my good friend,
Debra Moore of

(click to visit her new site)



There will be updates and current photos
 of all the wonderful merchandise
that is "in store", and posts of beautiful new things
that will soon be coming in from Debra's trip to market.

If you are interested in merchandise
or have questions, just give her a call.
 Or better yet, come by the store in

 Springfield, Missouri,
for yourself, and bring a friend!

You will love the Garden Room...







And her wonderful displays.


You'll Be Inspired!


Even if you don't live in the area,
 you will enjoy seeing the shop,
and all the great things that are there.


Drop by the shop site,
and take a peek.

and while you're there,
give Debra a big bloggy hug,
by joining as a follower,
so you won't miss what's coming.

Thank you Kathleen, for another


Have an Inspiring Week!

love,
Debra

Groundhog Love


Just wanted to wish you a little
"Groundhog" Love today!



And here's to thoughts of an early spring!

Silver Sunday, I wish these were mine...

I really love these little silver clocks
made of teapots and other silver "accoutrements"

 Sorry to say they aren't mine,
 but folks,
 my exciting silver items are running thin,
so here are a couple of images of my silver "wants".

(Romantic Homes)

Oh yes, and this gorgeous silver trophy cup.

(Country Living)

aaahhhh...

Oh, excuse me, now back to reality.

I hadn't really been "into" silver
before our 25th "Silver Wedding Anniversary".
Our children bought this silver tea set
 for us to celebrate appropriately.


Here are some flea market finds of silver bud vases
and one of my many random silver teapots.









This antique silver-plate monogrammed ladies inkwell set
was given to me by my brother,
for my Birthday about 7 years ago.


I love the detail of the roses.



silver flea market candle holders.


Now, please disregard any and all dust that may have
inadvertently been shown in the taking of these photos,
and do not check back to see me
 in my pink thermal pajamas.
 Thankyou.
(the management)

Run on over to Gypsy Fish Journal
to see the rest of the fabuloso silver goodies!


Have a great Silver Sunday!
Debra
