Doesn’t this little guy just make you smile? When I picked this up at the flea market, I told my son, “Oh, I found something I love!” It's the cutest little wall pocket I have ever seen.



Lindsey and I picked up some old post cards this weekend. I love that these are still around after all these years. The oldest one is from 1903.



Remember when I showed you my collection of tea trivets and that I collected them for my cousin until she decided she had to many? Well, I was looking in the drawer where I always kept them for her until she came for a visit. Inside was a wrapped package just like I always left them until I was ready to give her. I thought this was strange because I really thought I had given her all of them. I started opening the paper that was wrapped around it and my mouth fell open as it was revealed.


Mushrooms! What is the chance that I accidentally forgot to give her this one?! I don’t even remember seeing it before or where I might have gotten it. They usually stand out in my mind because they are not a common find. I'm really excited to add this one to My collection!

For Valentine’s day Lindsey bought me this pretty apron on etsy.



I’ve struggled with my health lately and the Dr. gave me some news that scared me. After some testing, my worst fears are not the case so I am very happy right now and want to let you all know that you should not take your health for granted. Be thankful everyday for your health because it could all change tomorrow.



Embrace those you love and cherish the things you enjoy.

Wishing you much happiness.

Let's see, Twyla... Can I embrace an cherish you? ♥ Because I enjoy your company so much! ☺

How funny that you forgot about that mushroom tea trivet. I wonder why we remember some of the silliest things and others just totally slip our minds?!

Hope you have a good day my friend!

I'm glad you're OK, Twyla! I think of you every time I wrap my snuggly scarf around my neck (which is daily in this weather!)

Twyla, I thought you were strangely quiet here lately. You've been worried. I'm sorry you've had that burden on your shoulders. I'll be thinking and praying for you. :)

All of your goodies are adorable. The mushroom trivet is gorgeous. Is it really a trivet? I didn't know they could be pretty like that.
