Our Dining Room


 I like to change things around....and I do like to get rid of things that I don't enjoy.
I do enjoy this duck....and my water buffalo.  Dad gave me the little brass pots.  They fall over easily, so I try not to touch them.


I love this little reading mouse.  I have her positioned so the sun comes in on her book, that way she doesn't have to squint.


My little wire cat may have spent her 9 lives.  The pitcher is full of marigold seeds.  The mama cat is a planter.  I ought to get some catnip.


Here's my cilantro.  I have two tiny plants coming up.  It's going to be a long time to wait for pico at this rate.  I love old cook books because they have pictures of women in aprons, their old stoves and dishes.


Here's mom's pot of Kansas Cactus.  Lydia keeps watering them and now they're trying to be tall.  I told her, NO NO. No more water.


My beautiful pans.  You can collect china, I will collect old pans.




I'm thinking I must have gotten a special gene from my dad.
If you can put something in something, do it.




This little rabbit on a leaf is from  Lancaster, Pennsylvania........it was in a gift store from the
Life size replica of the Old Testament Tabernacle. 



The green bowl looking thing is a Real McCoy.


I am very thankful for my windowsills and shelves. 

I love my house
I love my nest
In all the world
My nest is best
Homes that our feet may leave
But not our hearts!

My favorite picture is the one of the old books. I LOVE old books, they're just beautiful to look at. I love the smell of them too. (o:

I think I have that "put something in something" gene, too! Maybe we're distant relatives!

Did you happen to see my white cat planter recently? Yours and mine might also be related!

(Don't get me started on books.)

Yes, I have seen your kitty.......the gene needs to kick in I guess.....Mine's still empty.
What a fun collection you have. I'm really loving the little mouse with the sunny book!!

Blessings, Debbie

You sure have some fun pieces in your home. I love old books and buy them whenever I have a chance. Thanks for sharing some of your treasures.

this and that

So, I get up this morning, and the rag-rug fairy tied all my rag-rug pieces together and had them wound in a nice ball.  I think I will leave more out tonight and see if it can happen again. OK.  I like Ross now.  These shoes were $1.49.  Purple velvet DUCK SHOES.  IN MY SIZE.  My plans are to go into that store every time I get groceries from now on.  Can't beat $1.49 for some of the neatest shoes in the world. I have seen this in a couple of places on blogs and the internet in general.  I was fully planning on ordering one....but our Kroger store had them for $12 something.  We've made 6 or 7 cups of coffee with this in our K-pot....and I am tickled to have it. I can now buy fun kinds of ground coffee.....not to say that Wal-Mart store brand decaff is a fun brand, but it's what I always used to drink.  And I lived. These are useful, not beautiful.  I need useful when I garden.  I bought some very low cost sni...
