Family Heirlooms

Saturday we all met over at my grandmother's house to look through her things and decide what each of us wanted. There were a few things that I knew I wanted. Things that she would always tell me would one day be mine. These wooden purses were one of those things. Several years ago she gave me  one on the middle shelf with mushrooms on it. I went through and picked which others were favorites and added them to my collection. I now have nine of them. I displayed them in this cabinet Kev's great-great-grandmother owned.  I also knew I wonted some of the dolls she used to decorate her Christmas Tree with. she had already given me a handmade vintage tree skirt.  I found this china in the very back of a kitchen cabinet.

What the Animals Have Been Up To

So... I have been slacking on the ol blog. I've had several posts drafted, but I've not felt like completing them. The other night I was sitting outside and Perla brought me a baby snake! Oh Emm Gee!!! I also found her with this lizard cornered by the front door. I'm not even sure how it got in the house. I'm sure I had a door open. I'm bad about leaving them open, especially when it's nice outside. Doggie Love! Perla's favorite spot. The dogs have been busy digging lots of holes. every mooring when I let them out they run and check them. Not sure what they are trying to find, but some are really deep. I'm going to try to get better about posting things in real time ins tread of back dating. UGH!!

Market

Went to Memphis to market this weekend. It had been a year since I'd been and I had so much fun. I got lots of new cute jewelry and several shirts and dresses that you see in little boutiques.
