A quieter time

As I was driving one cloudy April day I stopped by to visit the sheep and with their new babies. 

Only 2 this time.

They were curious and came right up to greet me.

They get a lot of visitors on this busy road. 

I had no treats for them so they nibbled on this wild barberry bush. It's on the  invasive species list by the way.

Maybe we all need to have sheep to munch it down to keep

 it under control?

Isn't that the sweetest face you've ever seen?

I swear they will try to eat anything!

This one is a little tough!

Thanks for letting me share a quiet and unhurried moment I had 

back in early April. 

Life has been in hyper mode ......

can't wait to get back to normal:)

whatever that is?

Sweet Susie Sheep and White Candy Canes

             

                            

                                                      

                      The other day I received a package.

                     Inside were 3 lovely boxes…..

               like the three Wisemen….bearing gifts

                except it was one sweet lovely wise woman…..Susie

from My Home to Yours!

                                                                

                                      I was so touched by the care she took to wrap it so pretty for me.

                                   The colors even exude warmth which is the way I  think of her.

                              A warm and loving spirit with always a kind word.         

                                                   

                                                    

                                                        

                                            To my eyes behold………LITTLE SHEEP!!! a whole family of them!

                                                                 

                                                                 And the proverbial Black Sheep.

                                    I think we may all have some of them in the family!

                                 haha

                                                                

                                         I hadn’t noticed the inside of the box until I was photographing everything.

                                    Paul R

                                    Grade 3

                                     Bus 28

                                             I guess he wanted to make sure he made his way home!

                                                   so precious…..and thank you Paul for taking such good care of the sheep!

                                  

                                               

                                               I had fun setting them up on the mirrored tray with

                                 an old Christmas card from my grandfather…….I’ll show you more of it in

                                    another post.

                                     I was so tickled to have found it earlier this month.     

                                                      

                                      

                         Susie knows the weakness I have for sheep because I had purchased some

                  from her ETSY shop once before,  you can see the post

               HERE

                          Now another thing that I have wanted ever since I saw them at

                       my friend Paula’s house

                     are WHITE Candy Canes!

                           I had been looking forever for them and I may have mentioned that

              to Susie once.

                        Being the thoughtful friend that she remembered so she sent me those too.

                                   

                    

                              Now if I can just keep Nigella from jumping on the table and knocking them off with her tail

                          I’ll have them for many years to come.

                         If not, I know now where to order them.

                                      Thank you Susie so much for the wonderful gifts and most of all for your friendship.

                       I’ll be back hopefully before Christmas and share more of

                 the wonderful gifts that I’ve received.

              Linking up with Kathleen of Faded Charm for

        Merry Christmas

Counting Sheep

A few months back I ordered some of the cutest sheep from

my friend Susie of

From My Home to Yours

she had just opened her Esty shop and I just couldn't resist them.

Have I ever told you how much I love sheep?

oh maybe I have.

She sent it along with the cutest card

of what else??

Sheep... of course!

I was so excited when I got them that I immediately

took pictures of them (under the harsh

lights of the shop).

I wasn't thrilled how they turned out.

I guess I'm fussy so I wanted to reshoot them.

By the way I also bought these knobs.

 I didn't have a particular dresser to

 use them on but I liked them and they were well priced.

I figured I'd find a use for them sometime.

Well after all these months I finally got around

to taking my sheep home.

I found a place for them in the upstairs foyer

on our printers cabinet. Don't you think I should paint this??

I think I just need a push to do it. I'm not a fan of Oak!

I used to use this piece to put my plant tags in

at work but it seemed too good for that purpose

and plus the drawers were too small.

I stash jewelry parts in there now.

It becomes sort of the catch all. This gave me a reason of finally

straighten it out.

 I set it up to show you the things Susie had lovingly wrapped

 my goodies in.

Wasn't that sweet of her???

Thanks Susie.

My initials on the card

from metal stencils.

I noticed Susie had just added some new items in the

her Etsy shop so you might want to go take a look.
