Even though my mom and dad TOTALLY hooked me up for Christmas with a new camera and all, I am a little lot slow about actually taking it out of the box.
But I am craving being surrounded by "pretties" having taken all my Christmas decorations down in a timely manner this year.
(Even got the outside lights taken down today. Living in Minnesota, that usually doesn't happen until March. Or April. Okay, maybe even May... But in my defense, we usually have three feet of snow covering all those electrical cords until then!)
And not exactly knowing the etiquette about snagging pics off of Pinterest, that has me swooning on a daily basis, here is an old post.
Hoping to brighten your day, here are some of my favorite things...
Little girls who take baths in a bucket in the garden
Beautiful teacups
Spools of lace
Engagement rings
Homemade nests
My grandma's earring
Engraved silverware
Engraved anything
Old family photos
Little boys who let little girls drive!
Enjoy this weekend that God has provided for us!
Thank you for brightening my day...love your favorites and the photo of your Grandma's earring...sigh! Congrats on your award sweet friend!

Wonderful photos, so cozy and comforting! I especially like your Grandmother's earring!
ReplyDeleteOh...I like little boys who let MY girl ride in his firetruck :) I still love that thing...the kids are SOOOOO cute zooming around in that all over the place!
ReplyDeleteHi Kate,
ReplyDeleteI hope you are enjoying your award! You are a sweetie as is your sister! There must be something in the genes!!
I love your faves pics. The girl in the bucket pic is so sweet AND funny. Those are the best kinds of pictures, you cherish them always. Just don't go using it in a slideshow at her wedding. She might be embarrassed. I know my daughter would be:). But wait, that's right you posted it on a blog! Hopefully when she grows up, she won't kill you :) HA HA
You cherish your family photos like I do. It's one of the best things in life, especially old ones of your parents and grandparents. It's a great way to connect with your heritage and value your family lineage.
I hear your family has become the busy beaders! Your daughter is a gem to spend her birthday beading away for the sake of others. What a good egg!! Kudos to you mom for teaching her such great values. I love it!
Happy beading and I hope to see you again soon!
XoXo
