Camera Shopping

The Dove's Nest in
Waxahachie, Texas
was a great place full
of vintage white to
celebrate all things faded & chipped
at Faded Charm Cottage for
White Wednesday

love the piano keys
and embellished clip board

pillow stuffed with

vintage memorabilia

lamp shade and
jars full of twine
and bits of trim

and gotta love the
sweet doll head jars

and now I know what to do
with my collection of
tiny salt shakers

click on the pic to see...
Salt...
for flavor
for healing
for thirst...
to preserve.

Here's wishing you a
'salty' day.

How blue is your garden?

Time to start the week off with
a few blue garden accents.

Perfect shade of vintage turquoise

What to find in a blue garden?

Rusty chairs and creative planters.

You Grow Girl is a blog for those
that love to garden.

Wishing you all a productive day.
Don't forget to visit

that we live our lives

and we never even know
we have the key."

Break out and live your dreams.

Today is a great day to start.

Going to spend the day with friends.
Hope you too, have a great day.

Off to the Parade...

Wimberley has one main street running through it and everything comes to a halt when the parade starts. My hubby and son march with the Boy Scouts and I dance on the side lines collecting a bag of candy and goodies tossed out from the floats. Love the Popsicles when the sun is high in the sky.

Celebrating the
greatest country
on the planet!

Give Me a C...

C is for cute craft bags in
LaVerne's Altered Pocket Book Class

now that's going green!

Check out Terry, my cowgirl comrade
workin' in the clutter...
no time the clock was clickin'

With all the classroom chatter I was
concerned my chums might choke
while consuming
our Texas White Trash.
LaVerne thought of everything

Cowgirls crave cupcakes and check out
a couple I found at The Dove's Nest.
awesome store on the town square

Cuff swap I collected

And the last C...cash,
for carousing the stores.

Celebrating the 4th !

Safe Weekend Blessings

DoItYourself Spring 1998 - Sally Dixon


May you join me in celebrating
the wonderfully rich heritage
and foundation our fore fathers
sacrificed so much to provide.

May we protect and preserve
with the same
'fire in our bellies'
as we celebrate our
Independence from tyranny
with our
Dependence on God.

God Bless America!

"Oh My Goodness!
I totally forgot to post my
White Wednesday
before I left."

"Oh fiddle-dee-dee, don't let it
ruin our day."

Let's just go visit all the others
at Faded Charm.

Wishing happiness to all!

This is my first Altered Pocket Book made at the art retreat last weekend. Started with a children's book to give it a 2nd Time Around to hold photos, vintage tags, or whatever my heart might desire. And I'm pretty sure Ruby Tuesday would love Max's red coat.

LaVerne, our talented teacher provided dictionary pages, sheets of music, various stamps and ink pads, and an assortment of embellishments to fuel our own style and creativity.

Click to see the glitter glue raindrops & the King's key.Here it is ready for me to fill the pockets.

I said this was my first because I loved letting my imagination run wild and so, can't wait to make another and another and another. Wedding or Anniversary theme, Birthday theme, Christmas...New friends...Doris, her daughter Laura from Tennessee,
me & our teacher LaVerne.

SHOUT OUT TO LAURA, LUVYA GIRL!

Hope I've inspired you to give
an old book
hope for a
2nd Time Around
Ruby Tuesday style.
