Vintage Alphabet Party! Woohoo!

Etsy Cottage Style is having a Vintage Alphabet Party and today is the letter B so I decided to play along! I thought this would be a fun way to get back in the groove with my blog so here you go:
Vintage Bottles.....

Vintage Baby Booties..... You are probably wondering why only one of each, no...not a one legged baby.... they came in a lot of vintage doll clothes...why one of each? I don't want to know! hee! hee!


Vintage Books.....



And of course, vintage buttons, belt buckles and bobs....say that 3 times fast!........

I hope you are having a great week so far.... I have a wacky post to share soon! hugs! karen...

Happy Valentines Day!





I Hope you had or are having a wonderful day! We had a nice one...gave the kids little gifties and mom little gifties and then hubby took the pretty girl and I to Ikea...always an adventure. Then we all went to dinner.


Hubby and I are going away next weekend to celebrate just local to Long Beach, CA on the shoreline but we found out that they are having a big Mardi Gras parade and celebration on Saturday so it should be really fun! I can't wait, we need this!


When I was a teenager, my dad began giving my mom and I both special Valentine gifts just from him.... Snoopy with clothes to dress him (step back build-a-bear!) , flowers, and one that I still specifically love, a large filigree heart....I felt so special that my Daddy was buying me these gifts.... I miss him but still treasure the memories! I hope you have special memories that you can share with your family! Happy Day of Love! karen...

I am still heeerrreee.......!!!

So what is taking me so long to post??? I am a slacker! No other word for it, just a SLACKER!
My life has been good, quiet and I guess a little boring for the onlooker I thought...I am at peace but just nothing to post...or so I thought. But really, I do have things to share. For now...these are my new blue plates added to my cake stand, I have admired them for awhile and love them (please ignore the straight pin on the bottom plate...it must have fallen there when I hung the red and white garland) We gave the lovebird shakers to my mom for christmas...

This picture looks a little wonky but I am trying hard to get this post in before work and there is a window behind which gives a shadow so I took it from an angle, this is my sparkly blue and green vignette...I got the bunny a couple of weeks ago at tj maxx and am in love with him!
Went to see "It's Complicated" I laughed my fanny off, great girlfriend movie! and I posted that Marissa and I went to see "The Proposal" that was funny and cute too!
Well, I better skidattle! I am late for work, but I have some fun things to share in the near future so don't give up on me! hugs! karen....
