Remembering...

...I forgot to show you my new jelly cupboard!!

Peter & I 

and my sister & brother in law, Louisea & Tom

went to the auction last friday night ~

I saw this beauty and had to have it!!

ca. 1800's ~ all hand-pegged

it is massive ~ yet elegant…

and now holds all of my dinnerware & silver ~

there are carved roman numerals on the bottoms of the drawers,

which thrills my woodworking hubby to pieces :)

I love the color and lines of this piece ~

the top 'rail' was an addition, most likely on the early 1900's...

I'm still punching away on finished goods for the upcoming 

From our Hands show…

here are some ornaments-in-progress:

hands, cats, hex signs, houses & tulips….

 Iggy loves when I'm sitting in my chair and working on something.

...he is usually sleeping with one eye open across from me, in Peter's chair ~

but he also can't let me walk around the house alone…

if I get up to get a drink or stretch a bit, he is right there ~ 

he's my furry shadow.

hello Mr. Ig

cannot believe it is thursday (again) ~ 

...today also marks the 5 year anniversary of my sister Jo-ene's passing.

time flies.

love one another best you can.

try to speak more kindly.

laugh as much as you can.

just be nice.

think positive thoughts.

choose to be HAPPY….

* Blessed be *
