Mix and Match Friday

Just had to add this picture...Happy Arbor Day!

Love a tree - plant a tree! Make the world a better place!

(My son accuses me of making my granddaughter a

"tree hugger" - that's ok with me!)

This week I have a hodge podge of pictures to show for Kelli's Show & Tell Friday. If you haven't been there yet, check out her great blog page at There's No Place Like Home, http://kellishouse.blogspot.com. I'm off to see who else is up at 3:00 a.m. checking out blogs!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Some pretty vintage linens I recently found...such dainty work!

This sweet little ceramic plaque hangs in one of our bathrooms.

The wreath which hangs on our bedroom door.


These are some of the things hanging in our bedroom -
sorry, some of them are a bit off center!


This sweet little replica of Abraham Lincoln's birthplace was my

husband's childhood copper cast bank.

These sweet vintage wooden plaques are 9x12 inches. They were made and purchased in The Cascades in Jackson Michigan, probably in the '40's or '50's. One is "The Goose Girl" and the other is "Off To Work We Go". I just love them and plan to hang them in my guest room.

This was the high chair I used for my two children, only then it was a combination of natural wood and painted black - very colonial looking. When our first granddaughter was expected the high chair became a family project. My son and I stripped it, he and his dad did the sanding, and I did the staining and finishing. Our second granddaughter is almost ready to use it next!

30 Days 30 Photos - Days 23, 24, 25

Most of these pics were taken this week in my garden. Thankfully, Spring is finally here in our part of the country. As I type, I am enjoying the sounds of an early Spring thunderstorm!

Glorious Spring!
