Goody Goody Gift for Sure!
Imagine my joy when I opened up a gift from my sister Nancy and her family and saw these absolutely amazing slippers! Move over Cinderella! These are called "Goody Goody Bon Bons". They are so beautiful I want to frame them! When checking out their website I wondered how anyone could decide on a pair, as each is so exquisitely wonderful and whimsical. Just as I love it!

Happy New Year Everyone!

It's Always Strawberry Season
Today is Monday Show and Tell at the boutiques at Make Mine Pink (http://www.makeminepink.com/), so pour yourself a nice iced tea and take a look.
It's always strawberry season at my home! June is one of my favorite months because fresh strawberries are out at the farm stands. I try to frequent the local stands and enjoy the strawberries as long as I can.
My pictures for show and tell today is of my vintage table and chairs I found at an antique shop a few years ago. that was done by a local artist. My sister and I went up to Brimfield Antique Show and I was trying to find a new table and chairs. We came home with knick knacks and paddywacks. When I least expected it, I saw this set at an antique shop near home and I had to have it. I fell in love with it. It was fun, whimsical, had strawberries that I loved, and it was a repurposed table and chairs! It even has a little silverware draw in it, so perhaps it is of the 40's or 50's. It did not match anything in my home. I didn't care. Isn't that how you feel when love hits you?
This table brings me joy each day when I see it. I have changed my kitchen/dining room to black and white toile, checks and one pinky red wall. Very striking. I love it!
