I went to a yard sale last Saturday, it was a gal going out of business selling all her vintage items anyway I bought 39 pink mercury ball shiny brite balls and they are all a beautiful faded pink for 20 cents each!
I got this tiny tiny gold cross pin on a little piece of cardboard for 10 cents,that is a vintage clip earring laying beside it to compare the size
Now I have a story to tell .
One of my grandsons came over for a visit early this week ,and he said Grandma is there something I can do to help you.So we went out front and cleaned a flower bed. He said Grandma I know who I am going to marry ! I said you do ?!! Yes ! he said her name is Eden . He said he ask her and she accepted with two stipulations. One that she can finish law school after they are married ,he said he agreed that wasn.t a problem.Also she wants a pug dog and a chow chow dog and he said he wanted that also. I said does your Mom & Dad know this girl. He said yes they know Eden and her family.
Below is some projects i'm working on. I know it's not Halloween yet . But I play with my Christmas decorations year long.
Now Samuel is 8 years old !!LOL my Grandson
Samuel made me this sweet pumpkin in his art class, it's a little bitty one , small as a tea cup, he says it's winking at me .The little top removes

Good Afternoon Janice, Oh I loved the story about your grandson.... how precious. I also love your beautifully faded pink Christmas decorations. They remind me of the glass baubles my mother, Phyllis used to hang on our Christmas tree. Each year they were wrapped carefully in tissue paper and put away, hoping that the following year all were in tact.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes
