An Amazing Number 4 ~


Another special day in our family!

A BIRTHDAY!

Our little grandson is 4 today and 4 is fun!


His plan- 
Go to the ranch this weekend.
He'll ride his own little John Deere tractor. 
Ride horses, fish, hunt for arrowheads. 
Ride around in a big truck and follow his daddy everywhere!
Ride in the ranch jeep.
Sit in a blind.

Watch for all sorts of animals and count them.
With his own binoculars. 
 He will call the ducks at the lake! 



We will all celebrate with ice cream, cake and much more!

We will have a party that everyone will adore because 

Garrett is  

 an amazing number 4!



Happy Birthday, Garrett!


 
 
 
 
 
His sisters love him to pieces!!!
 
And
 
 We love you so much!
Nana and Pop

The Heavenly Tea Party...The Planning - Enchanting...

One of my favorite things to do is to entertain~ 

A Tea Party is a must, don't you think?

 "The tea party is a spa for the soul. You leave your cares and work behind.  Busy people forget their business. Your stress melts away, your senses awaken . . ."

 Alexandra Stoddard

I'll be planning much more than what to serve and what kind of tea. 

I am wanting to create the perfect ambiance.

I'll plan to make sure my guests are happy and will remember the tea forever! 

I'll be sure to have some lovely music and flowers that will fill the room with a delightful fragrance. 

Everyone will go away soothed by the sweet talk that will be going on and nothing will be hurried, not even me!


It'll be a time to remember! 

 A few of my favorite things I may use...

Oh my...things like this just happen...
I say the words "my favorite thingss" 
and 
out of the mouth this comes belting out! 


Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad~

A Rare Possibility~



I'm so curious! 



Okay, I've been wondering for a long, long time about this simple and precious little piece. I do not have any information about this piece and I've had it for years. Would love to know the name of the pattern, if there is one. 

It was an anniversary gift and I'll forever treasure it! It makes me happy just to look at it.
I have silk flowers placed in it and it's sitting pretty on a nightstand in one of the guest bedrooms. 
I love it~

There is not one letter or word on the back.

Any ideas? 



Pssst, if it's not a rare antique, please don't tell me!  

I'll keep my rose colored glasses on and just go believing it's one of a most coveted collector's piece...

I'm thrilled to be back in the wonderful world of blogging-
