New Rose Blooms/Cuttings from Garden!

The other day I posted a pic of my first rose of the season. This morning, walked out into the garden, and there were several other blooms. Now, am in heaven with all the fresh flowers in our house. Love Spring-time roses! 

Glasses International

I love these International themed vintage glasses.  They feature the coat of arms for different countries. I purchased 6 for a quarter each!

 

UFF DA!

Love this pin! I am 100% Scandinavian. To be precise, 50% Norwegian and 50% Swedish. 
The word UFF DA,....often used in response to a less than desired outcome, is one that has always been a big part of my vocabulary.
 i.e.)  UFF DA!...........I'm only half done.
UFF DA!..........The rain is really coming down. etc. etc. etc.  
Anyway, when I found this pin while thrifting, I was over the moon! It has a special place on my inspiration board.

 

Crop Top Sweater

I've noticed crop tops seem to be back in style lately.  Personally, they've always been a favorite of mine.  The thrift store is an especially great place to look for them.  Here is a vintage one I bought a while ago:

First Garden Rose of 2014!

With the warm weather we have been having in CA,  we now have several budding garden roses. Here is a pic of the first one of the season. Love walking out into the garden to cut a fresh rose! Happy Springtime to all!

Happy Springtime Everybody!

Blue Glass Vintage Lamp Shade!

One of my favorite little lamp shades is this one made of blue glass. I found this at a thrift-store in Brookings, Oregon. It is vintage. Am using it now on my little marble desk in family room. 

 

Happy 90th Birthday Doris Day!

Catherine and I are crazy for Doris Day! In honor of her 90th Birthday today, am posting some pics of a few of Catherine's classic Doris Day albums. Catherine purchased all of these at thrift stores. Have been listening to her music this afternoon. So fun!  Also, read a recent interview on DD that was released today.  Doris still lives in Carmel by the Sea, is involved with animal rights, and is happy as can be just walking on the beach and gardening. What a wonderful life she has had. Happy 90th Birthday Doris Day!

The photo and graphics on this album are just beautiful!

"The Magic of Doris Day"

 

What a beautiful voice she has. This album features duets performed with Andre Previn!

Appropriately titled: "Day Dreams"

I purchased this authorized biography of Doris Day a few years ago at thrift-store for .50 cents. Enjoyed every minute of it!

 I gave the DVD collection of Doris Day movies to Catherine for Christmas. All of her movies were just so classic and fun as well!
