A Vintage Find



I found this sweet vintage vase in a church shop for  $1...it looks great with the pink roses I'm picking from my garden

 It's the start of cherry season and my clever husband baked this delicious cherry pie

Everything is Coming up Roses


It was my birthday on Halloween and I was given some money by my Mum...I intended to buy shoes but when I spied this meat platter I had to have it. It's huge and heavy about 1850 and in perfect condition and matches a couple of pieces I already have






my darling husband spoiled me and bought me  a new camera as he knows how much I am enjoying taking pics


David made new  pink rose garden with a path for me in winter  and they are now all opening...what a joy they are to me




picking roses for the house
