Heirloom Party

What fun this party will be, getting to see

all the heirlooms that are out there in blog land.

A BIG Thank You to Marie at Emma Calls Me Mama

For hosting this party, be sure to visit all the party

people for some wonderful eye candy.

As everyone knows who has visited my blog I am

a nut for antiques and heirlooms, even if they are

not my family heirlooms. I just look at this way I'm

just caring for them until someone else has to take

over the job.

So here we go with a few of my true family heirlooms.

My Grandfathers Bible.

Every morning before anyone got up, he would make

himself a cup of coffee, go to his little study and

quietly read the bible. It's all tattered and torn now

but worth a million dollars to me.

This is a quilt that belonged to my Great Grandmother. Also very worn, but precious to me. You can see all the scrapes of material she used. They were farmers and very poor, but nothing went to waste. An oil lamp also belong to my Great Grandmother. And last, this pump organ belonged to DH Grandmother.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed your visit.

Be sure to visit all the other participants in today's party.

Please feel free to leave a comment, suggestion or question,

I love hearing from everyone.

See everyone Monday!!

Have a Blessed and Safe weekend.

Bye for now!!

Stealing Time!!!!!

It's Thursday and every ones favorite time,

Tablescape Thursday hosted by Susan at

Between Naps On The Porch.

Be sure to visit Susan and all the other

participants in today's event.

Today we are stealing time in the garden.

The days are shorter, and a little cooler, so why not

take a little time in the garden to relax and reflect

on the times gone by.

No meal just wine, fruit, cheese and bread.

We are all dressed in blue today.

The blue wine glasses were a Thrift store find, three for

.99. I wasn't going to get them, then I remembered I had

three of the plates above, a TJ Maxx find last winter.

So it worked out just fine.

The napkins came from the same Thrift store. Now lets add the wine, cheese, fruit and bread to the

picture. I found three of these plates at TJ Maxx for $1.00 each.

As night approaches and we enjoy the warm evening,

talk about how fast time passes. Just stealing a little

time and enjoying life for a brief moment.

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you come back soon.

Please don't forget to leave a comment, suggestion

or question. Bye for now,

A Little Metamorphosis Here and There

It's Monday and we all know what that means!!!

Thanks Susan for hosting this event.

As you can see from my title we are on the move today.

This cabinet was built by DH when we remodeled this

room. It has set without doors now for two years, DH

wanted glass in them!!!! TWO YEARS.

A change of plans!!!!!!

TWO YEARS!!!

How much patience can I have?????

My solution.

Less than an hour!!!

And a bonus, DISH STORAGE!!!

After all I will need it, since I moved the table

from the kitchen to downstairs.

A man just never knows what he will come home from

work and find, at least if I can take it apart.

Had to throw in a little mantlescaping.

A new word!!! An antique sleigh and my antique folding fire screen/ card table.

Moving right along, my house in the spring.

See the upstairs windows?

My house in the Fall.

See the upstairs windows?

DH put these up for me about a month ago.

I just had large ferns in them until last Friday.

A closer look.

Moving along now.

Lets go back inside to my Granddaughter's bedroom.

This was a Summer picture.

Now it's time for a change.

This canopy used to hang in my youngest daughters

room. We have changed it so many times and had such

fun with it, I couldn't get rid of it when she didn't want it

anymore.

DH and I made it for her years ago out of one of those

round table tops from Lowe's or Home Depot, can't

remember which one.

So this time around I used a pair of dark blue curtains

from the thrift store with a white sheet behind. The

curtains already had the valance attached, so all I

had to do was staple away.

So guess what???

Now I'm in the mood to change this room up a little.

So come back next week and I'll show you the rest of my

changes.

Thanks for visiting and I hope you come back soon.

There's allot of Metamorphosis going on at

Copper~n~Things.

Please don't forget to leave a comment, suggestion

or question, I read and enjoy each and every one of

them.

Bye for now!!!
