Pure Gorgeousness (is that a word?? )

Sharing some *gorgeousness* with you today for

White Wednesday.

I purchased these beautiful tags from Ozma of Odds

and I think they are gorgeous.

She sure pays attention to detail. They have a glittery

glimmer on them, but the photos didn't pick that up

very well.

I also purchased this lace butterfly from her.

Can you see the wording on the banner?

*butterfly for Japan*

All her proceeds from these beauties go for Japan

relief. What a neat idea!

{don't look too close at the writing on the postcard

because it says Merry Christmas...lol.}

a favorite mirror again with my favorite

candle of the moment

I purchased this pin/hair clip at Kohls.

Don't know if I will use it for it's intended purpose,

but loved it.

Happy White Wednesday to each and every one of you.

Unfortunately I will not be able to check out very many

of your blogs tomorrow due to other responsibility, but

hopefully I can another day.

Blessings~

Blissful Sunday...and maybe WW too

I love lilacs, but they don't love me.

This is all I can have in my house

or my sinuses go crazy.

So sad because they are my favorite

spring flower.

At the rate I have been posting these days this just might

be my WW post too. Been crazy busy and today is no

different. I will have to fly home from church and

finish up my tea party decor , head back to church

to decorate and make sandwiches for the tea etc.

I need to go to my booth tomorrow or Tuesday. Didn't

make it at all last week....time is moving faster

every day. At least I think so.

Recognize the chair and ruffles?? Got two of these

chairs for $3 each some time ago at the thrift store.

The white *ruffles* ...that is a skirt from the thrift store.

I love to purchase skirts filled with ruffles. I have

another one that I intend to take apart and make

a pillow with the ruffles already made for me

and at 2.50 you can't go wrong!

Purchased the pillow several weeks ago from

frenchfreak.com and love it. I think her pillow prices are amazing!

Happy Sunday~

He Cares

...and oh how He does care for you and me.

Sunday Rest ~

rest n. - to cease from action or motion , especially from action

which has caused weariness; to desist from labor or exertion

{ a favorite antique picture hanging in my home} Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest... Exodus 34:21

Today I intend to rest and renew my spirit from the hustle and bustle of this busy season. won't you join me ? Blessings~

Sunday Blessings ~

For God so loved the world that He gave His only

begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should

not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 3:16

I found this vintage religious card (along with several others)

on my outing this past week up at my daughter's place.

I find it very beautiful as well as peaceful.

We are off to my parents house today after church for our

family Thanksgiving dinner. Can't wait to eat

turkey and mashed potatoes with gravy. Yumm!

Have a restful Sunday filled with blessings

from above~

Sunday Afternoon Drive ~

Loving the weather so much today here in

Michigan

that we took a Sunday afternoon drive.

I wanted to look for bittersweet,

but also just enjoy the weather ~

{My hubby was even sweet enough to give up

part of the Lions game on tv to join me}

You will see a lot of dirt roads in this part of Michigan~ Spring Hollow Farm is just around the corner from us... a very lovely place, but I feel so sorry for the woman who lives there with her husband. You see she was my husband's school teacher when he was very young and he can tell stories that make your hair stand on end. I am so glad he grew up and matured somewhat. {lol} Another lovely barn on Spring Hollow Farm ~

Lots of red barns in Michigan...

...tucked back among the trees ~

This fence is interesting. There are finials on the tops of

each post and every other one is black ~

I found this kind man along the road and he hopped in my car

and told me he would cut bittersweet for me if we found any.

{hee hee}

Truthfully it is my hubby...he will do just about anything

for me.

I adore porches...

open porches, closed in porches, screened porches

just

Porches~

A lovely fence along our drive ~

Isn't this just as pretty as a picture? So beautiful with the old barn and flowers~

Loving the chippy white here~

I feel sad when I see so many barns just falling apart,

but as a homeowner I also know

what it takes to keep these buildings up and

I understand why so many of them fall to ruins~

Look closely and you will see several turtles on the wood

sticking out of the water. We find turtles on our road

periodically so they probably come from here.

I also had a couple pictures of cranes that landed

on this pond, but they ended up blurry.

I hope you enjoyed your tour of my county today~

Blessings~
