A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That...

Here are some sights from my kitchen and back porch. The plates were a birthday gift from The Husband God Gave Me. He remembered that I had seen them at Cracker Barrel, but they weren't on sale - and that is a MUST for me. The wallpaper he found somewhere on clearance for two dollars a double roll. We weren't planning to use it for anything more than shelf liner, but quickly changed our minds when we refaced our cabinets from dark brown to white. I really like the forties look of it.

I love cobalt blue with the light coming through it. It needs a good scrubbin' though. Ever since we started venting the dryer onto the porch, the dust has increased accordingly back there. The plus side is, no nasty glare.

The tassel doll is from a 'onesy' salt and pepper shaker. Only one remained, which gives it the 'onesy' name, and only cost a dollar.

I also only paid a dollar at the thirft store for this little dutch girl with the basket. I've seen her other places in poor condition for much more. The little shelf she sits on my dad gave to me. He said it made him think of me. I had it in a box for years, always wondering why a red dutch girl shelf made him think of me. Much to ponder. But, when I scored the one dollar dutch girl and needed a place of honor where she could stand, I thought of the shelf! It suits her fine. Must be that my dad is still able to anticipate my every need.

Thank you for bearing with me while I post odds and ends. My mind has been elsewhere lately, and composing anything is difficult. Not for any other reason than I am unbelievable happy in my roll as Grandma Judy. I write better when I am in a foul mood, and I haven't been for quite sometime.

Yippy!
