Beautiful day in the Carolina's
My grandson watering the rabbit instead of the herb garden
When my grandson comes over we always have to water the plants.  Everything is dirty he says, so he has to wash the rabbit for at least 5 minutes.

We travel to our favorite places and this week we went to The Screen Door.  He loves rusty and shiny stuff too.  He will point out things for me and will softly touch the cool stuff.

I met the most wonderful vendor at The Screen Door from Florida.  I had picked up some cool song rolls, creamy white for my ironstone bowl and we got into a conversation of our love for white antiques.  Which I hope to link up with white wednesday next week.
We found this beautiful collection of silver at a garage sale.  The lady was selling her grandma's stuff and I just couldn't leave it behind, especially for $5 each! I will have to do some fun projects or leave it the way it is.  I love what The Feathered Nest, does!!
Until next time...kisses and hugs .... Di

Coming Home

My first post...a little scary but here goes.  I have followed some wonderful blogs and am in awe of their beauty.  I have wanted to blog but didn't know if I could pull it off.  After all the encouragement in blogland here I go.
I have moved to my dream setting in a cute cottage we are renting.  After living in Florida most of my life, I have found that being with family is what matters the most.  After some life changing events, we took the plunge and put our house on the market.  Yes, it sold!  So here we are.
I had to weed out my stuff, and I mean alot of stuff.  After many garage and one big estate sell, I have my favorites displayed.  Some regrets that I let items go but I know that I can find them out and about.
I have spent time with my grandkids, gardened and visited some great places which I will share along the way.
I have started looking up my ancestors and surprise most of them were from North Carolina.  I am in awe of what our ancestors went through for freedom and their lifestyle.  Most of my family were farmers and fought for our country.  My heart goes out to all our military heros.
Much more to follow, have a great day.
