Wedding in Jamaica

Yo Mom we are back from Jamaica and No Problem was our entire trip.

In Jamaica everyone is Yo Mon male & female and they like being greeting and saying good bye with Yo Mon. Also everything in Jamaica is No Problem what ever may arise . It was a wonderful trip and the wedding was special also they had a very good minister to preform the wedding on the beach. This is my niece walking down to the beach arch where she and Robert were to be married ,walking to the traditional wedding march song .
                                                                                 
  
I absolutely loved her cocktail length dress with the sweetheart bodice  with the bodice covered in tiny pearls ,they did her hair at the resort and it was beautiful.

                                                                         
                       

The couple getting married


                                                                 
One of the kisses with their Jamaican wedding certificate 

                                                                   
          This is how they had the quest chairs set up for us ,there was 15 of us flew down for this special wedding , guess all weddings are special though? right      

                                                       
           
This is the happy couple with their sisters, Robert has a sister Liz from Brooklyn New York 
and Jessicas sisters are from Kansas City and Denver Colorado, the sister on the far right is getting married in September this year in Kansas City Missouri ,she is the Denver sister

                                                                                     
               The bride with her Mother and sisters, of course the photographer they hired to do their wedding pictures had their attention, I was just snapping photos



The Riu Tropical Bay resort we stayed at was wonderful in Negril Jamaica . This is the dinning room we ate at most evenings however we did try the Italian and the Japanese restaurants on the premise, this was an all inclusive resort you just had to make dinner reservations in the evening.
I loved dressing up in the evenings for dinner, People from all over the world was there, I talked with gals from Argentina, and Russia, Italy,South Africa, America, England, Brazil  other people who I can't spell the country LOL
                                                                       

  This is me and one of my nephews Jeff  at the rehearsal dinner  , he is married to the Brides sister

Happy Quests


This is Robb's Mother in front,from New Jersey, Aunt Terry left from Long Island New York, Sister Liz and husband from Brooklyn New York and Liz's husband Gladiator is from Brazil that is where they met 

 Drinks before the wedding with my sister who lives in Missouri also 


I took a shopping tour with Terry she loves to shop also so we went to the duty free jewelry stores down the coast from Negril we stooped at the huts before the mall , which was interesting ,everything they had to sell to the tourist comes from where else but China !!!!!! Our guide was very nice staying with us and explaining  about the shopping 




You can see the huts in the back ground, our guide was  Nicola 

My sister Liz  and I early one morning left the resort and walked the beach and shopped some huts ,




I bought a Jamaican towel of course 
It was a great trip and I have 100's more pictures
I went to see the famous sun set  divers at Ricks cafe this has been on the travel channel I have seen it 

This is one of the beautiful fountains in one of the two pools over looking the Caribbean ocean





It was stormy that day and the divers only dives at sun set but because there was so may people there he took a tip donation and if he got enough money he would dive, so he did , there was so many people I got what pictures I could 

This was about 130 feet above the water OMG !!!!

This is me way in the back with a bright  pink top on doing daily water aerobics LOL

now in closing LOL 


My sister Liz and me our last morning eating out on the veranda looking out over the caribbean ocean

Bedroom Blues + Wedding


I have always loved the color blue cobalt blue light baby blue and I have a lot of blue walls in my house

I bought this chandelier for my bedroom and just love it I need baby blue shades on my chandelier so guess I better go buy some baby blue spray  paint and get to spraying. I have pink shades on it now because I found some at a store 1/2 of 1/2 price and thought this will do LOL

                                                   


    That oak framed mirror propped up against the wall behind my night table, was my Grandmothers ,it was the only big mirror in her house and she hung it on back of her bedroom door, I can't believe I still have it not broken.
My Grandparents were married in 1922 and I have her 42 inch round oak pedestal table that was given to them as a wedding present and it was a hand me down then Grandma said  


Anyway I am going to be absent a few days. I'm helping a sister with her daughters wedding and will tell you all about the wedding in a few days, hopefully some cute pictures


                                                                                   
This is some little pink shades I have for the bedroom chandelier,they don't look pink with the lights on. I love my toile fabric in my bedroom I know this Waverly Country LIfe is maybe 6-7 years old maybe older anyway I still Love it and still looking for the discontinued wallpaper if anyone can help me out.(thanks)

I just love weddings,tell you all about it next week. My etsy shop will be on vacation mode till the wedding is over

Tea Set

I was sitting out on my patio this morning have coffee and brushing my cat not that has anything to do with my little bitty tea sets but you get the picture.

I was looking on a special shelf I have as I was going out my back door and my eyes caught these little cardboard tea pots and sure you have all seen these, well any one 36 years old and up . One is dated 1983 and the other one 1991
                                                                             






The little cups & saucers and the tea pot are so small a dine besides them would look huge 




I had to set my little Victorian couple out also 






I was also admiring some of my flowers beginning to bloom, my hydrangeas have their first bloom on one of my bushes ,however didn't take a picture of her  yet


Not sure what these are but I have about 7 blooming

and then my Russian sage which I love but need to move so it can be in the sun all day

Paula

My all time favorite vacation spot is Savannah Georgia and I always went to Lady & Sons to eat and always take the Paula Deen tour even though I could do the tour talk myself

I am so upset over Paula's fall from grace. She is not a racist I am sure . Here is a few pictures of my trip down there a couple years ago, I couldn't find last years pictures real quick , need to be leaving for work

This is me and the famous Cheryl Day at Back In The Day Bakery. Paula Deen has had Cheryl on her show several times and Cheryl was on QVC selling her first cookbook
Cheryl told me Paula pops in the bakery just about every week to visit Cheryl and Griff ,Cheryl's husband and partner in the bakery

                                                                         
 And this is Bubba at Bubba's oyster house Paula's brother he was signing his cook book for me

(after reading the  court deposition I think this picture is the problem ,with bringing Paula down ? ) maybe I shouldn't voice my personal opinion ,don't scream at me for saying this LOL
 This is the chapel at Bethesda Boys Town where Paula & Michael got married, it's on one of the tours

Here I am standing at The Lady & Sons front door of the restaurant,  around back where some concrete was poured Paula Bobby & Jamie has wrote their names in the fresh concrete and dated it when it was poured. While I was out walking one day I went all around the building to see if maybe Paula was coming in the back door LOL and seen the autographs in the concrete 

My hair is shorter now and new glasses LOL
This was standing in front of Uncle Bubba's Oyster house 
concrete autograph below

OK this is my support for Paula Deen I will be going down again this fall, I have been checking the air lines tickets and wow are they up ? or what

Back in The Day

Well I had another fun weekend , I went to a friends yard sale just to visit with her and she had several of her mother in laws vintage hats out , so I had to have 3 of them

                                                                             
It is really cute and one of my favorite colors, I won't wear it but it will really look good on my wire hat stand 

Here  is the label the famous word FRENCH








Then there was a real wild straw hat and I have been know to rip the flowers off to use on art however this sweetie is going to stay all together LOL


This is my friend Mary Liz and you have to call her by both names, not Mary or Liz it's  Mary Liz !

we was coming out of church and this hot car was parked between our cars and we both had a fit over it so I told her to stand over by it and I would get her picture
Some of her friends and me are giving her a surprise birthday party next Friday evening




Then the hot owner (Tom)  of the hot car came out so of course we had to explain how we admired his orange vintage VW , and he is married just you had any ideas for me or Mary Liz LOL
Barbara said you that car is a chick magnet LOL

Beautiful Day

Hi everybody, my gosh I have been so busy and so tired to get a new post up
I don't know how the gals who post 3 times a week get anything else done.

My yard sale was a success and what was left I donated to a charity place named The Wardrobe. I only took 2 small boxes back in the house. Had lots free stuff on the curb, it all was taken
We had great turn outs both days, as I found more items my neighbor carried them outside for me. I think one more sale I will will have the studio and my storage room looking like the hoarder moved out LOL
                                                                          


I have had a dinner party at my house and I don't have much company for such things so I was hiding dirt and throwing things in the closets and under beds LOL

I bought a new vacuum cleaner and do I love it, its the irobot the little round rumba 
I named her Betty and Betty is a jewel
I turned her loose in the house every night last week and he did a fabulous job I would recommend her to anyone who can't use an upright vacuum like myself, if it wasn't for my new irobot I could never have gotten ready for company, now I need one to mop floors for me 



I am almost finished with my yard planting, soon as get some more mulch down .I had just planted or my neighbor planted 3 new hydrangea bushes for me they were about 3 ft tall and my new yard man cut them down with the weed whacker, I was ready to whack  his head off!!!!!!
I had to calm down a couple days before I called him to discuss this matter. I didn't want the wild lady inside of me to come out in a screaming matter when he answered his phone LOL
he came over and I said I was going to give him a quick lesson on what a weed looks like and what my precious plants look like, I said when you don't know for sure don't cut it down
he also cut my peonies all down ( screaming lady was wild) LOL 

OK I am at work however tomorrow is picture day for my blog so will have some interesting things I hope for show and tell  Saturday

Birds

I am so busy getting ready for my annual yard sale and since I still work 4 days a week I am behind on getting things priced and my Blog posting also

I watched Anderson Cooper  one day this week and there was a lady on analyzing our obsessions and she said old ladies that blog are just lonesome and have nothing else to do, talking about us who post a blog and us who read blogs, I thought lady your are wrong about this subject altogether. I love blogging and I know all of us do, to keep in touch with the world of flea markets and what all we find, we share it , oh well, her loss

I just threw this picture in because I didn't have any new ones to post,this is a little fountain I have in my bathroom and think it's pretty sweet
                                                                   
This is some material that is my curtains and bed comforter and I am looking for wallpaper to match, I know this is years old however I still love this toile material and want it so bad
This is just parts of the material, birds, people

It's Waverly Wedgewood COUNTRY LIFE and I have looked on all the wallpaper sites on line and for material also

This is the main part of the material

I like it so much , usually I am ready for new bedding and curtains every 5 years but not this one 
I want to cover my entire bedroom with this ,one wall I have the waverly toile material, however not enough to do my entire bedroom





Just in case one of you ladies in a larger city knows where I could pick up this discontinued pattern, or one of you gentleman 

ps
Disorganized yard sale at my house this Friday & Saturday June 7-8  for all you gals & guys close to Columbia Missouri,I say disorganized because I am depending on the mercy of neighbors to carry my items out for me and will be satisfied where ever they sets boxes etc, since I am taking good care of my back problem 

another ps today I started sending tweets
