My honey gave me a dozen roses for our anniversary. He actually bought them, forgot about them, and left them in his Explorer. I happened to go out and move the Explorer (a while after the flower purchase) so a neighbor boy could play basketball with our hoop. I found the flowers, came in the house and said, "Hey Love, did you know that your vehicle is growing roses?" He got this look on his face like "DANG--I forgot!" We had a good laugh--yup, that's 18 years of marriage for ya!!
Yard sale find!! Love it!!
Yard sale find! (the chicken--I made the quilt block in the frame).
Yard sale find! (2.00) Not too prim, but I loved it!!
I also received some super mail a couple days ago. Kindra, my good blog friend, and I did a trade. She painted for me and I sewed for her. It was so fun!! She made the sign above the clock that says, "A glimpse of heaven can be seen through the windows of a happy home." Isn't it great?!!
She also made the Salt box houses. I had already won the spring painting on the left--she painted a summer and fall one for me There is still room on the wall for a winter scene. I will be ordering one soon!! She is so talented. I LOVE her work. Check out her blog and go to her ETSY store. You will be in prim heaven. She is a great gal, and I'm so glad to call her a friend. Thanks, Kindra. I love my new prim treasures!!! We are having a bar-b-que tonight with some friends. I told them I would make the dutch oven desserts. I best go do that!!
Be Nice to people,
Julie

Very nice finds. That framed quilt star is wonderful! I am going to put that on my list of things to create. I love it!
Kindra is such a talented artist. Some of my favorite of her work are those salt box scenes.
