Furniture Rearranged

So after 10 years here I finally decided to rearrange my living room. Yes, 10 YEARS. When you live in a small place, you don't have much to work with. But yesterday I decided to give it the old college dropout try. 

The couch use to be against the wall under the picture and the floral chair use to be over in front of the patio door. I think the reason I never had it any other way, was I thought it would cut the room in half, since the living room and dining room are so close together. But it's changed and I like it now. I have to get use to the flow of it.

And another little treasure I found in the family bible, was written by my mother. It's sometimes weird to see handwriting of someone who's no longer with us. 

Sleepy Time

Yes, this is me. My mother loved to take pictures of me asleep anywhere. I guess I could fall asleep no matter where I was. Even on the toilet. She had no shame. 

Wish I could do that now. 

Now bloggers. Which one do you think I should use as my profile photo ? Vote Below.

More Discovered Treasures

I was cleaning and rearranging my pantry/cabinet yesterday. And you know when you get things and forget you have them ? Well these are just a few things I have that I did forget about.

I did remember I had the little cups and saucers.

See the green ice cream sundae boats. I've had these for over 10 years and have never used them.  Majority of them were either purchased at a thrift shop or given to me. And there were just a few. I have others, and am wondering if I should sell some. 

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Have a great weekend !

The yard finally is done at my parents house. And all I can say is AMEM !

Pearls Cast Upon The Angels

One of my Ebay finds these cherubs, I think it's original use is holy water. And the pearls I purchased a few months back in a thrift store. 

Bathroom Diva

I'm a shy Bathroom Diva. Sheila at Note Song's is having this event. You'll see more bathroom than diva in this picture. Bad hair day.

 

Family Bible

This was to be the Family Bible. My mother started writing in it, but never finished it for some reason.
These illustration's are simply beautiful.
I can imagine what they look like in person.
And other little treasures. A picture of all the Aunts with the cousins. My mom on the upper left was pregnant with me when this was taken, so in a sense I was in the picture.

And this little pink thing, use to be a either a purse or some type of container, it looked like it had handles at one time. 

Show and Tell

I had these aprons for awhile now, they belonged to my mother. I remember her wearing some of them at holiday time. She was such a pretty woman and I loved to see her get dressed up with her pretty things. I have no idea how long she had these, I am guessing about 30-40 years.

The pretty detail of the embroidery and the use of the thin material. And I love the handkerchiefs, I remember her getting these for a gift from one of her church friends. I sometimes use them as doilies. 

Also, I found a Christmas trumpet angel without the trumpet. I still like it, it's as imperfect as I am. 

An Award

Jann from A Vintage Heart gave this Brilliant Award to me. I'll place it along with my others.

Thank you Jann.

She's Baaaaack !

I wanted to share this glass bowl. It belonged to my mother. I remember her having plastic fruit. Do you remember plastic fruit ?. I remember the grapes, apples, pears, and bananas. I am not sure what I'll use it for, I don't have plastic fruit. I also remember one year mom and dad purchased a new refrigerator and inside were plastic things like, lettuce, a frosted cake and a few other things I can't remember. That was a bonus, because it gave us more to play with. Don't know what ever happened to those.

 

And look at the vinegar I found at thrift town, it's lavender glass. I also found this floral pillow cover. 

I am still struggling with my parents home in getting things accomplished. I have put it in Gods in box and I'll just have to wait for him to get to it.

Thanks again for all your support.

What's A Girl To Do ?

Well I give up. I borrowed a lawn mower from a dear friend and went over to my parents home to mow the lawn. So excited to get that behind me. 

Well guess what ? I plugged it in and pushed the button and it didn't start. What the hell ?.

I call them up in Oregon, and asked what was I doing wrong. Well I wasn't doing anything wrong it just didn't start. Wouldn't you know it, now I have 2 lawnmowers that don't work. How am I suppose to get this done ?. I am close to tears out of frustration. I am beginning to think something or someone's trying to tell me something. What that is, I am certain I do not know. It is making me think why aren't I able to get this done. What is the message that I am suppose to get out of this. Is it that, the house needs to wait till it's ready ? I simply don't know.

And pulling weeds, is like pulling teeth, the molars they don't want to come out easy. The thorny ones have poked me so many times I feel like a pin cushion.

So what's a girl to do I ask you ?

Thanks to all of you for your support. I means a lot to know other care about you.

Somehow I will get this done. I want the house on the market and out of my hair, ARGH !!
