Gotta love Etsy

I wanted to start off by thanking everyone about the kind comments that I received on my last post.

Boy you guys sure made me blush.

I've always been a little uncomfortable with getting

compliments but you sure made this old girl

feel darn good!

It was also nice to learn that I'm not the only camera shy one

out there either.

Hubby did manage to read that post and

man did he think I was conceited.

Knew I was crazy to think I'd get away with it.

Meant to throw a new post up right away.

He never has the attention span to read more then

one post at a time....thank goodness!

Do your husbands or (significant others)

read your blog???
or think they're silly?

Onto a better subject........

I got a lovely package the other day from my

friend Joan of Anything Goes Here.

It was all prettied up with pink tissue

and ribbon....
and lets not forget the beautiful paper rose she made me.

She also must have known that I would love these
vintage photos .......

Two of which were of this couple on their wedding day.

Don't they have the nicest smiles?

I ordered these wooden handles.....

They were from a company in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
I remembered my friend Paula buying handles like these and
doing something clever with them....
but I can't remember now.

What I had to have were these .........

Bingo Cards that were in brown.

I'd never seen them in brown!
have you?
Joan has been in the antique business for 30 yrs or so and
she'd rarely seen them either.

I like the way they look on my flour sack.

Seeing the Middletown Ct seems ironic now!!!
I was just there today for jury duty!
My first time ever going.
We were dismissed before any interviews even started.
Whew!!! that was a relief.
I had my responses to their supposed questions all figured out:) ha

The worst thing was that I missed our luncheon at
Evi's!!!!

I was so bummed.
