Happy but tiring day

Hey all! What did you do on your Saturday?I cut the grass, worked in the garden, picked some beans, and took my Mom to the grocery store. I managed to stop in one of my favorite thrift stores...more on that later. Then, I came home, transplanted some basil, had dinner at Mom's, chased down 2 dogs that always seem to get away from me, (they're finally home now-very stinky and wet), sat on the deck for a while.

Vintage plastic Love

yellow and black canister
little wringer washer
turquoise and yellow scoops
Rosie the Riveter and her "bomb" salt shaker
plastic fish plate holders
plastic thermal cups
teardrop candy dish
pink and turquoise snack trays
I look around the house, and notice...I have a thing for plastic stuff. In fact, I LOVE it. Whether it's a canister or a scoop or a salt and pepper shaker, it gives me a little thrill when I spot it. The brighter the color the better!
It just goes so good with vintage linens, etc...I love the cheerfulness of it!

Happy Fathers day

I wish my Dad was here, and if he was, I'll bet he would be fishing! I have two sons that I was able to wish a Happy Daddy's Day, but I just don't feel the same since my Daddy's not here. This is down at our cabin. We went there just about every weekend up until my Grandma passed. Then everyone seemed to start going their own ways and the cabin was sold. I hated that! So, the fish are dedicated to my Dad. He wasn't perfect, who is? I loved him and know he loved us so much. I miss you Dad.
