Lindsey and I had such a delightful time this weekend participating in the Mad Hatter Tea Party. I am speechless that we got 100 + comments! I never, in my wildest dreams, thought we would be visited by so many thoughful people. I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart. It meant so much to me. If you haven't seen the post, it is the one below. We enjoyed making it a fun event.
My son and I had a chance to do some antique shopping this weekend. He found this little pink kitten salt or pepper shaker. Since it no longer has it's mate, it was only $1.
If you read my posts, you know I collect these motto prints. He bought me this one as an early birthday present. It is absolutely one of the most gorgeous ones in my collection.
Lindsey and I have so much fun going to the craft stores. We are blessed to have a Michael's, Hobby Lobby and JoAnn's in our town. Yesterday we went to Michael's and they had their rubber stamps on sale. Of course, I had to have the mushroom stamp and I thought the little bird stamp was just too pretty.
Is there such a thing as blue cherries? Well, in my world there are. I found this gorgeous blue yarn at Michael's and couldn't resist making blue cherries. What do you think?
Lindsey and I adore vintage post cards and some flea markets have so many they provide chairs for you to sit and go through them. We can spend Lots of time going doing this. This is one I chose just because the art work is so amazing. It is dated 1909. It was to Lulu, from Mabel. I love the sentiment on this card, it is very humbling.
No, it's not Christmas in June, but I love finding cards with these pointed roofed houses! This one is so charming with it's colorful artwork that I didn't even mind that it was a little imperfect.
This one just made me happy!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer. It is my favorite time of year. There is a carefree attitude about summer with a hint of magic. I think it goes back to my childhood why I feel this way.
Have a wonderful week and remember to have some fun! Twyla
Love all your new things! I am partial to kittens and your pictures and cards are so pretty. I enjoy reading what people wrote on old cards and sometimes I get sad thinking that these people have probably already gone on to their reward. The blue cherries are cute and would go really well with the red on a 4th of July scrapbook page!Blessings, Sarita
ReplyDeleteI love your vintage finds. Twyla on Tuesday is always such a fun post! Thanks! :)

Morning, Twyla! That kitty is so cute! Glad you got to go antiquing.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I've never been to Hobby Lobby. I don't think they have one around here.
Maybe those Blue cherries could be grapes? ☺ That *is* a pretty Blue!

Good morning Twyla. :) I just love the postcard with the people walking to church. It's beautiful. You know, every time I see something with a mushroom now I think of you.

Hi Twyla,
ReplyDeleteI love the color of the blue cherries, so pretty. Is it like an aqua color? The little lone kitty is adorable. I love hearing what seasons are people's favorite and why. I think it is so amazing how people are so different. Mine is Autumn, Sarah's is Winter, and Matthew's is Summer. I hope you are having a good day!
Hugs,
Kathy
Hi Twyla! the blue cherries are cute, they remind me of the blue raspberry popsicles I used to eat when I was a child. I enjoy seeing all the neat things you find too. The kitty is adorable and how thoughtful of your son to buy you the print for your birthday...that was very sweet.... I recieved my package and I'll post some pictures of what I did with the mushrooms and cherries soon. I hope you had a beautiful day! hugs, Jennifer ooops, I wanted to thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving me such kind words, you are a sweet friend...: )
ReplyDeleteGreat finds!! That's nice that they have chairs so you can really look at the postcards. I think blue cherries are beautiful! Blue cherries.....why not? They have blue raspberries.

I've made several mushroom needle felts... next time I will be sure to take photos & post one for you! Having some troubles with people looking at my blog, making the same things & putting them on Etsy. I know it's great to share...but it sure takes the fun out of it.
