Remembering on Memorial Day

Problems with my Blog Page

Hi Friends!

I've been wanting to make a new post for quite some time,

but I've run into a snag.

What's a blog post without pictures?! I LOVE pictures!!

Ever since my Christmas post, I haven't been able to add

any photos to my posts. I keep trying...

and my sweet hubby (who can fix anything)

keeps trying to figure out what happened.. but so far

it still isn't working.

It's very frustrating because I have so many things I'd love to share

but it kills me to not add pictures!

I even have a fun trip lined up with reservations at

a great looking B&B, but how can I share it with you...

WITHOUT pictures?!?!

Hopefully, it will all be resolved soon!

Thank you to those who check back in with me every so often.

Merry Christmas to All!

I can't believe that tomorrow is Christmas!

It's practically here!!

 

Truly, where does the year go?

 

We are enjoying beautiful snow on the ground here in northern Illinois -

truly a White Christmas!

My family and I are cozy & warm at home -

busy putting up a few more decorations,

wrapping a couple more presents for family,

getting ready to fire up the oven and make a couple batches of Chex Mix,

playing a few board games on the dining room table,

and planning to start up a movie to watch together as a family.

 

What a joy

to be with family

celebrating

and remembering the

reason for the season!

 

 

 

 

 

From our house to yours,

a Merry & Blessed

 Christmas!

Surgery Yesterday!

My sweet kitty underwent surgery yesterday!

I'm praying for a speedy recovery.

 

 



Where Has the Time Gone??

Hi Friends!!!

I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted here. What a whirlwind summer and fall!!
Yet we all feel that way - so I'm no different.

Besides doing shows, I now have some of my things in a sweet shop in Rockton, IL, called

The Rustic Rooster Antiques!!

 

It's exciting!! I'm just getting to know some of the other great gals who also have spaces in the shop.

I just took some new things up to the shop this week.

 

I've added several of these old gals. I love their stern looks! And the owl is a hoot!

 (Sorry, I couldn't resist!)

 

I love these wonderful TRICK or TREAT signs

made from corrugated metal roofing!

My SWEET hubby made them for me!

 

(remember - you can double click on any of the smaller photos to make them bigger)

 

Anyone out there love chalk ware?

How about this black cat!

I also have several pieces of Tea Leaf china with copper luster designs -

BEAUTIFUL for the autumn holidays!

And I added a great line of 100% soy candles with the CUTEST labels!

 

 

And what's fall without CARAMEL APPLES?!?!

(even if they are fake!)

 

I hope you are enjoying the

BLESSINGS & BEAUTY

 of AUTUMN!!

(Can you believe we got our first snow today- flying through the air against the backdrop of colored leaves! WOW!)
