He loves me...he loves me not...he loves me...

The origin of the word Daisy is Anglo Saxon

“daes eage” literally meaning “day’s eye”.

It was called this because daisies open at dawn

as the day is just beginning.

I picked a few daisies along the edge of our

property and snapped a few photos.

This will be a busy week for me as my sister and hubby

are visiting from PA. I doubt I will be in blogland

much , but will play catch up next week.

Blessings~

Beautiful acquisitions...

A girl can never had too many vintage buttons! I found these at a garage sale in a bag for 50 cents.

My mint julep cup for $1.00.

I love this spread!

Found it at the Goodwill with not a thing

wrong with it...for $3.50. {it was regular $7 , but the linens are half off}

Score!

Just look at the amazing detail on this

beautiful piece.

I also found this yellow jar at the Goodwill

for $3.00. I am not usually a fan of yellow, but

this appealed to me. It may eventually end up

in my booth...who knows. lol.

Aren't these vintage Christmas beads pretty? I purchased the jar and all for $1.00.

What did you find recently that you can share

with us? I have also found some old books, but didn't

get any photos taken yet.

Have fun scooping up those treasures this week!! Blessings~

God's beauty...

All things bright and beautiful,

All creatures great and small,

All things wise and wonderful,

The Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens,

Each little bird that sings,

He made their glowing colors,

He made their tiny wings.

The tall trees in the greenwood,

The meadows where we play,

The rushes by the water,

To gather every day.

He gave us eyes to see them,

And lips that we might tell,

How great is God Almighty,

Who has made all things well.

Peaceful Sunday to you today ~

Small town America and a big blunder!

Remember a few days ago we had no power? What better thing to do than to roam around

Hillsdale, Michigan once again and take pictures

so that is exactly what I did!

Isn't this flower shop gorgeous!!

The downtown streets of Hillsdale are lined with these

lights and the garden club donates beautiful hanging

baskets every year.

This is Jilly Beans coffee house. It used to be

called "the gathering". I didn't even know

it had changed hands.

My hubby is in love with this shop. They just did a huge makoever...inside and out

and it is gorgeous! He just bought steaks,

tri-tip and ground chuck last week. The steaks are

huge!! He got two that I know are the size of

dinner plates and very thick. He is in *heaven*.lol.

The courthouse spire...

I love the detail...

It's beauty just takes my breath away.

This is a very beautiful upscale home decor store. I couldn't get the front of the glass because of

too many vehicles sitting along the street.

A shot of one of Hillsdale streets...if I had to live

in town...I would give this a good look.

It is a beautiful small town!

Speaking of Hillsdale...we went to a car show there

today with my youngest son and his family. However, before we got there we had pulled into a

gas station (following our son). When I went

to pull out ,the nose of my car was a

little too far out into the road and cars were

still coming. I put the car in reverse to back up a little,

but the man in the truck behind me would not budge.

SO...guess what happened???

I forgot that I had the car in reverse and when there

was finally an opening and hubby said, MASH IT ... I did!!

Right into the truck behind me!

Oh dear...not a good thing to do!! Long story short,

the man was not nice , but there was no damage so

all is well that ends well!!

Happy weekend!!

Blessings~

Tickled pink to be CROWNED

Thank goodness the storms are past and the power

is back on . We are very thankful to God that we didn't

get anything worse. One tree limb down is hardly worth

even talking about compared to what others have

gone through.

This is my latest exciting find that I just had to share

with you. After fluffing my booth last week I decided

to stop at another antique mall...almost didn't because

it seems that they have the same old stuff.

I was thrilled to find not only one , but FOUR of these

old crown canning jars! I had never even heard of them

until I read a post from Janis at Rust and Ruffles.

I thought never in a million years that I would

find any...I guess I was wrong!

There are at least two or three different designs and the

glass inserts in the lids even have crowns on them.

How cool is that?

{We do love our crowns here in blogland!}

They are made in Canada and I don't know a thing about them except that I love them. I tried and tried to get better pictures, to no avail. I am thinking they may show up the crown design better filled with water so I will have to try that soon.

What do you think of my latest find?? I handed over $2.50 each for these beauties

and almost ran out the door.lol.

At the same antique mall I purchased this wine holder

for $4.00. I don't drink wine, but I just had to get it...

I love the wire design

and it made a great carrier for the jars!

happy day~

Update: storms

Imagine my surprise when I stepped out my back door

this morning , walked out in our back yard and found

this branch lying next to the house. I am so thankful

that we did not get the 80 mph winds that some did

or I am sure this huge tree would have come right

down on top of our house or through the kitchen

window.

It is an old tree that keeps losing it's branches and

really needs to be cut down, but just

haven't gotten to that yet.

Still no power...still running generator. Power to

come back on sometime tomorrow.

Blessings~

Storms...storms...storms....and no power

Hi bloggy friends...today I am without power because of the

wicked storms that once again roared through last night. Our power went out at 10:30 pm Wednesday evening and

estimated time of restoration is 12 am on Friday.

Right now we are running on generator power {thank God for that}, but only certain things in the house

are hooked up to it...the important things...

THE COMPUTER...the refrigerator, THE COMPUTER,

the freezer, THE COMPUTER, the water...lol.

Actually I had to run an extension cord around

robin hood's barn to get the computer to an outlet

where there is power.

We heard on the tv news last night right before our power

went out that a tornado was spotted near Frontier

and that is just up the road a bit...maybe five or six miles.

Not very far at all...my brother

lives very close to there. I need to make some phone calls

asap and see what happened.

So for now...I won't be in blogland much! Have a super wonderful day each and every one of you!! Blessings~
