Bird House

I am one to feed birds all winter and last year continued feeding them a lot in the summer.I have mentioned before I have a heated birdbath for the birds to drink out of when it's below freezing. However this last week it has been in 70's.

          This is a ceramic bird house I found online and loved it and thought I had to have it.   It's my indoor bird house                                                      
This would be so cute hanging out on a screened in porch, since I don't have one I just move it around the house . I have a lot of blue and white dishes and ceramic flower pots to sort of match this also. I am rearranging today as I dust.

It's still a nice day here in central Missouri. My flower beds are bone dry the dirt is like sawdust so I got my water hose out of the garden shed and watered my dirt LOL in my beds. It did sprinkle a little last night not enough to help this dry spell we are in .
I am home doing house work so must get back to it . Thanks for checking my stories out. Wouldn't a huge bird house like this be fabulous ?

Coffee Keys

Do any of you remember seeing these cans at your grandparents home? or maybe your home  back in the day ? I can remember me wanting to open cans of coffee with the little key with a hole in it to latch onto a tab on the coffee can. I bought this can at an auction back in the 1980's and have always kept it because it reminds me of my days when I was in grade school. The can was full of the little keys.

Now I know you younger girls out there won't know anything about these LOL It's for the generation gals who lived in the 1950-1960's

Then again I'm telling my age


                                                                     
Just another thing tucked away in the studio

Day of Love

Just showing a few hearts in the studio this pre Valentine's Day. This heart was found at an after Christmas sale. I tore off all the holly and berries and Christmas bow and here it is all a new for Valentine's Day

                                       
 I had to stand my angel in a chair to get her full size.I think they look good together.

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day Weekend

            This is a old wall hanging quilt from years gone by also a few things I have had for sometime that I am sharing today. There is so many pretty things for Valentine's day on all blogs, mine are just simple little hearts in the studio                                  
 hanging on the wall in my sewing room
 A heart pin cushion I made years ago hanging from bottom of a shelf
 This is a little vintage card I got of courses years ago, seems like I have had lots of things for years
 I always kept these out of magazines, just to darn cute to throw away, I have a drawer just for these. I have cut some of these pages up previously and used them on Valentine Day cards


All we need is Love

My Two Hearts

Since it's time to post something about Valentines instead of showing cards I am not working on I remember my two hearts I have on a bookshelf.One from a daughter as a gift and the other I bought in Portland Oregon years ago down at Pioneer Square in a shop that also sold my blue calico dishes.

This candle holder I bought at a local florist shop last summer at sidewalk sale days here in town. Love the cupid .That is my undecorated Valentine's tree in the background                                                                                                                
                                     

 This is the hinged heart I bought in Oregon,It opens on top and I have it filled with those tiny pictures you get with your proofs when you have pictures taken at a photographer's studio
                                                                         
 Then this was a gift and I have a picture in it,I have it laying in a glass bowl filled with glass beaded flowers
 This was taken a few years ago because the oldest little boy in this picture will be 14 years old this Saturday . I don't post about my family as many of you know who follow me,but since I had to open this heart to show the inside had to mention my daughter and two boys at the time,now there is 2 more boys in the same family. All very precious of course.I have total 7 grandsons no granddaughters.



I have a couple more things to post about Valentine's Day  in a few days

Table Setting

I run across these pictures of a table I set once for a ladies luncheon. This is a rerun you can say. Some of you may not have seen this because it was a few years ago. I have been blogging 7 years now, hard to believe.
I started blogging for self entertainment and guess i'm still entertaining myself with all your lovely blogs

          My bouquet of button flowers set in middle of the table on one of my antique dresser mirrors                                                    
   I used ironstone white and cream colored platters for our luncheon plates and my brown and white calico staffordshire cups and saucers
 Do you see my white and cream colored buttons on the table? Then I made each lady a little wooden sewing thread spool with vintage buttons on it. One of the ladies who was at this luncheon called me later that day and ask if she could buy all the dishes I used for this luncheon. I said YES, I have since found some more cups and saucers for myself
This was so much fun. I would like to do it again 
I am ready for this weekend Indoor Garage Sale at The Holiday Inn west convention center here in Columbia Missouri. My kitchen, well you can't walk through it for boxes and piles of things I am 
 taking out there to pass along for someone else to cutter their house with my treasures LOL 


Here is another luncheon I set a table for
