Sometimes 24 hours in a day doesn't seem
like there are enough hours in a
day.
There are some many projects I want to make, so many new things
I want to learn, so many books to read.
More hiking trials to explore.
So much thrifting to do.
Getting up early really helps, staying up a bit later gives
me time to catch up on my blogs and reading.
We all only have 24 hours in a day, I hope you make
yours productive, fulfilled and joyful.
Even one or two blooms this time of the year seems like
a gift to me.
The lilacs are just starting to plumb up.
Soon they will be in full bloom.
Garden clippers, an empty bucket as well as water are always
in my car for roadside finds.
I do not believe it is hoarding if you use
what you collect.
However, in order to be able to continue collecting the pieces
I really love, some must go.
I have been collecting B&W pyrex to sell.
With names like, Black Tulip, Barbed Wire, Black Snowflake,
paired along with Opal White and Milk Glass,
a collection can come together quite nicely.
Here are a few of the items I am
thinking
of selling at the booth I am sharing with Cindy
at
The Kootenay Chicks Craft Faire in Nelson in July.
Cindy and I are sharing a booth
at the
Kootenay Chicks Vintage Faire!
We are thrifting, garage sailing
and gathering pyrex, ironstone and other wonderful
vintage finds to sell in our booth.
I adore this poster, how much fun do you think
we will have?
Why not get a bunch of your girlfriends together
and come over to Nelson for the day
and see for yourself!
Those of you who know me well would think I craft all day.
Well sometimes I do.
I love the creative process and having a well stocked craft room
is such a blessing.
It is thanks to my very talented husband,
Jim
that I have such a wonderful and dedicated space to craft in!
Here are a few of the things I am working on at the moment.
Or are being re-arranged.
I hope you take the time to be creative this week!
It was a good day to find a few treasures.
Some of the thrift stores had 50% off sale in their treasure room.
Senior's day was a happy unexpected surprise.
Here are a few of my finds.
Some of them will be put up for sale when Cindy and I are part of a
Vintage Sale held in Nelson July 5 & 6th.
From sunny Victoria where Claire spent Easter,
to a cool Easter for Alexander in Australia,
our two grandchildren each had
a very good weekend.
Have you ever started one thing, then it became something
else?
It started by just putting a few things away.
Then you group a few things together,
a little color collection happens.
This was my day yesterday.
Here are a few shots of my day.
I love it when I make time to tidy and move my stuff
around....editing a few things along the
way.
It's is raining here today, a good day to find and try some easy
appetizer recipes to have on hand for
summer company.
We are having a
"Welcome Back Snowbirds"
party here at our clubhouse at Sonoma Pines in West Kelowna.
I thought I would like to make one of these from a recipe blog called
Tablespoon.com
I will let you know how mine turned out and how tasty it was.
