next on the table.......

after a few days of soldering some pendants...........................................this is what is next on the table........it is so amazing ..................all the wonderful new techniques available to age items you make to get the look of   "old" ..........not everyone is blessed enough to afford or locate an original antique........not that i can afford so much now.......but there were many years in our early marriage, that i just had to "make do"..................making things myself or settling for the "look" ..................................oh what a joy to be able to make something "look old" and share them with others....................
................................................... i am blessed !

do you remember....

do you remember the library truck ................................ oh my goodness, i do!...................... this is one from the 1930's .......................... was hoping to find one from the 1950's that Ms. Hensley drove ................................ she would stop by Granny's store during the summer ......................... my day was complete on "library truck day".................... i could take as long as i wanted .................... run my fingers across all the books  .......................... take them down one by one , and make my final choice ......hand her my library card (that Gran kept safe inside the store) and i would be off to sink deep into the chair at the back of the store to engulf myself into each book i had selected ................................. then read over and over until the next stop of "the library truck"........................
.......................................... i am blessed !

another Cypress Garden.....

i left my post this morning hoping i could find a photo of the beautiful southern belles that would walk the pathways of Cypress Gardens ................. this is the best i could find..................and in reading the comments from the previous post , denise informed me that Cypress Gardens is no longer there....................... it makes my heart so sad to know that such beauty is no longer there....................can you believe that at such a young age i was even impressed by the beautiful gardens and all their glory ....................one of those things i will treasure in my memory forever.................
....................................... still blessed today !

a memory.....

i ran across this picture on pinterest ...........my memory threads started winding back to a vacation in Florida long ago ........................... "Cypress Gardens" ............................ i couldn't have been much more than six years old ......................... but i do remember the feeling of being so awestruck by such an event as this ...........the beauty ....precision .................now i need to go back to search for a picture of the gardens, and the ladies that strolled through the gardens with their long dresses and their parasols ........................
i am so filled with joy this morning .................. this wonderful memory, a precious time in my life.............
......................................... i am blessed !
