My Annika fix...

I got my Annika {GD} fix last Friday afternoon.

She was with me from 4 pm until after midnight

and we sure crammed a lot into a few hours.

pure innocence

You should have seen her little black boots.

They were too cute!

She is definitely my little *fashionista*.

I was snapping photos like crazy.

You know you have to take a bazillion pictures

to get a few that are great!

maybe a little attitude showing here??

"I can't write my name"

our little *lefty*

{does she look 3 years old to you??}

all tuckered out. ME TOO!!

Blessings...enjoy the day!

Some granddaughter lovin'

...children are a heritage of the Lord

Psalm 127:3

We went to our youngest son's house yesterday

to celebrate hubby's birthday and

we had a wonderful time.

While we were there I told Annika I wanted to take

her picture and she immediately fell down

on the floor and posed like this!!!

Can you believe it??

She is a little ham and we love her to pieces!

{my son on the other hand said, "oh no, the

paparazzi are here again"}

Don't you just love her little pink *tutu* sticking

out underneath her dress?

I took this picture some time ago of her hiding

behind a chair. Wish I could remember why

she was hiding.lol.

I snapped this photo when we were at a parade this

summer. She is only three years old!! She is growing up so fast though...three going on

thirteen. :)

Have a blessed Sunday ~

More Vintage Paper ~

More antique prints that I purchased last week from the antique store that is going out of business. I just couldn't pass them up~

Paid a whopping 50 cents each for these.

My oldest son , his wife and our 1 year old GD are home this weekend. We haven't seen them for quite some time so I will not be spending much time on the computer. I hope to have more GD pictures to show you next week.

Have a wonderful weekend! Blessings~

More Vintage Valentines ~

I wanted to share a few more of my Vintage Valentines with you. In fact I have these listed in my Etsy shop right now in case you are interested. Just come on over and check them out. They are gorgeous with diecuts in the center of each one and the three heart shaped ones are marked on the back in pencil as being from the 1800's. And you just have to love the colors as well! :) Blessings! Sandi

Sweet Holiday Images

I have no profound words today...(LOL) as I have been busy doing "this and that" after arriving home from church today so I just thought I would share a couple images with you . Aren't these just the sweetest ever?? I just love the girl picture! This is a very old card with a few spots on and above her hat, but I love it anyways. I also don't think I have ever seen a pink rose Christmas postcard quite like this one either. I love it as well and I hope you do too. Enjoy and blessings!

Gifts of Love in the Mail ~

Isn't this the cutest ornament you have ever seen ? I received this paper doll flapper girl ornament from Marietta over at Sweet Old Vintage . I was very surprised to receive a lovely Christmas card from her in the mail and I could tell right away that there was something else in the envelope besides the card. Imagine my surprise when I opened up the beautiful card and found this adorable ornament! I have seen her ornaments in pictures online, but to see them in person...they are just amazing! I love how she included a pair of earrings to add to the ornament. One earring adornes the necklace around her neck and of course one is on her ear. I don't know where she got the idea to make these, but what a unique and awesome idea! I put her on my Christmas tree where she is right at home with all my other white and neutral ornaments. I need to come up with a name for her...I am thinking "Marietta" after her maker...:) Thank you so much Marietta!!! Blessings!

My Real Treasures

My real treasures are my grandchildren...I know that I have shared with you before that I watch our precious little granddaughter one day a week and she is just a delight. She is talking more all the time now and some of the words include: ihsha (for my other granddaughter Allysha), Kee (for candy or Keira(granddaughter number 3), sharrrr (shower), I wuv you, MOM, paw paw and on and on. Her little baby voice just melts my heart. She was playing on my tiny ladder in this picture, but no worries, her grandma and her grandpa were right behind her so she wouldn't fall. Aren't grandchildren just the best? We get to love them, spoil them and send them back home to mom and dad. Blessings to you and yours today!

Lovely Old Book

I love this old book that I found recently at an antique store. The title is "Little Three Year-Old". The pictures are adorable and there are even some old flowers in it that have been dried and pressed while in the book. Enjoy and Happy Monday!

Shabby Vintage

I thought I would add a few more decor pictures. I absolutely love this picture! I got it at Home Goods a couple years ago for 4.99! However, I haven't quite got the wall decor along with it figured out and everytime I look at it , it drives me crazy! :) In the corner by this wall I have an old creamy white shutter with a clock on it in the same colors as the picture and a loveseat is underneath with a white cover and a quilted throw with the colors in the picture as well so if anyone has any ideas please feel free to share them with me.

I just couldn't pass up these adorable shoes especially with the vintage millinery included.

This is one of my favorite photographs of another corner in my living room. I purchased the candle sconce at the Goodwill for $3.00!! I hope everyone has a wonderful day today!
