Slow motion

Boy am I am slow motion today!!! Guess I was more tired than I thought from our shopping yesterday. (See the previous post). So anyway I thought since I was uploading my photos I would give you a brief glimpse of what I found at the antique stores.
Buttons buttons buttons I love vintage, old buttons. Now I didn't get as many as Kim she hit the jack pot!

Meet Mistress Mary. She is the sweetest little pot from Lamar Pottery. These are hard for me to find at a reasonable price but I scored big time with her

I found 2 of these beautiful blue glass balls. I think they are mercury glass and I love them

Mailbox front. I have big plans for this one

Hankies with crocheted or tatting edgings. Just love them.

Ok that is it my treasures from yesterday. See not too bad. so I guess I need to accomplish something today so off to finish the laundry. Work tomorrow

Final Goodbyes

Image
It has been a gut wrenching sad and emotional two months for the Struchen's. We have said our final goodbyes with many tears, laughter, sadness and breaking hearts. Dad passed on Feb 25th and now Mom has joined him on March 10th.  We knew Mom was very ill but none of us expected that she would go so very quickly. And now as my sister says we are orphans.  We are still family but right now without Dad and Mom to bring us and keep us all together as they had worked so hard to do all these years. As I had written on Caring Bridge Dad was our hero, our mentor our DAD.  It is so hard to realize there are no more early am text messages or emails  no more 4pm Sunday phone calls.  There is a giant void in my heart Mom seemed to think she always took a back seat to Dad.  But she was always there to help us, give us strength hold us to a higher standard.  "We Struchen women are tough" she used to tell me when I was needing a listening ear.  "You c...

Where did the weekend go????

It doesn't seem to matter if I have 3 days off or a normal Saturday & Sunday off, it is never ever enough. Here it is already 7pm and I am getting ready for work tomorrow. Last early day and then back to the old routine. So what did I accomplish this weekend?? not too much as far as the home front goes. Just the usual laundry and clean but no yard work. Now on the creative level I had a great inspiring weekend. I rode to Payson with Earleen and Annette on Sat am for a class by the 2 gypsy girls Debbie and Paula . I had my doubts I could construct a house that would stand. Due the patience of the 2 Gyspsie Girls my house is still standing today:) I loved this class. The roof holds the little album and the clever use of the 7 Gypsy elastics made the page signatures so easy. After class we joined Annette and her family at their reunion. Invited crashers we were. We feasted on Alaskan Salmon thank you Robert and all the yummy goodies from a reunion. A couple of q...
