Helping Hands

Look at this adorable little hand,

I love the dimples.

and the loving heart...

that goes with these

tiny hands.

Many of you know Libbie from her blog,

 The Middlest Sister

And if you know Libbie,
you know her cutie pie daughter,

Annie.

She has the most precious heart.

She loves people and Jesus,

and when she heard about the earthquake in Haiti,

she wanted to go and help,

or at the very least
send all their money.

Libbie, being a wonderful and wise mommy,

wanted to use this opportunity to help,

and at the same time allow her daughter

an expression of brotherly love and giving.

So Annie made beaded bracelets,

to sell to raise funds for the people of Haiti.

bracelets...

bracelets,

and more...

bracelets.

                                           

She has sold them door to door...

At church, and through many other people and businesses.

All so she could help the people of Haiti.

Here are my two bracelets that I purchased,

made just for me,

with love,

from Annie.

In a time when there are so many

bad things going on in the world,

I wanted to share what is "good",

a child whose heart

and hands

work together.

blessings,

Debra

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

 Inspirational Home.

(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,

 Inspirational Home,

and all the great things that are there.

Drop by the shop site,

Simply Inspired Living and Garden

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

Wonderful White Wednesday!

Have an Inspiring Week!

love,

Silver Sunday, I wish these were mine...

I really love these little silver clocks

made of teapots and other silver "accoutrements"

(Debbie are you reading this?)

 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.

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

Have a great Silver Sunday!

Debra
