I've been kinda snappy today!

...no, not that kind of snappy...snappy with my camera! lol

{sorry for the yellowish glow. lighting is terrible here today and I had to
have the overhead light on}

I will confess that I am still in my pj's today and it is after 11am here. I RARELY do this,
but today I have no obligations and I am just being lazy with not a care in the world. :)

I purchased this basket at TJ Maxx to use at a show that never happened,  so I use it around my home.
This setting on my camera is color accent or color swap ...I don't remember which. ha!

This is the regular setting on the camera so you can see that the note cards are
really this color instead of white. Cameras sure have come a long way from what
 they used to be. I have had mine for a few years now and still haven't figured
 it all out.

This is a gray linen blouse that I fell in love with at TJ Maxx and purchased it over a year
ago. Then I went and lost weight and it does not fit me! I didn't even have a chance to
wear it once.  :(

I purchased this vintage pink dress at an antique store years ago. It is so sweet with
an underskirt of tulle.

I have had my fun for the day so I better get cracking and actually do something.
Any suggestions?? ha!! Happy Saturday!!

Vintage wooden clothespins

Did you know that the first clothespins were designed

by the Shakers? They did not patent many of their inventions

and between 1852 and 1887 the U.S. Patent Office granted

146 different patents for clothes pins.

That is a lot of patents!

My mother hung clothes on the line

when I was growing up and I am sure that is so for many of you.

I , in turn, also used to hang many of my clothes

outside on the line and loved the fresh smell

when I was taking them down.

I remember many days of stiff towels and jeans

and no matter what I did, they stayed stiff

even after folding them. I did get a little wiser

at one point and put them in the dryer on

air dry only, but that only did so much! lol

I don't hang clothes out as much as I used to, but once

in awhile I will still put my linens on the line.

Nothing like fresh linens waving in the breeze on a beautiful summer day!

Do you still use clothespins?...to hang clothes or

just for crafts?

What A Sweetie ~

Oopps.....sorry about that. I accidentally hit the POST button before I typed anything so we will try again... Our darling little granddaughter Annika turned 2 years old and I thought I would share a few pictures... Love her expressions! Yumm....cake !

This is good "MOM"...(she calls me mom and we are sure it is because she hears her daddy call me that)...too cute!

She loves any gifts and had to try on her shoes immediately...

How do they look "mom"...

Is this a mermaid on the ball "mom"...

She loves clothes!! This is a top and pants , but she kept calling it a dress...so sweet!

Blessings ~
