Pretty, pretty, pretty.....

Just some pretty things I have around the house. I love pretty things, don't you? I love the hunt for pretty items....the thrill, the anticipation, the FIND!!! Have you found any new treasures lately????

THE JOYS OF EASTER!!!

Easter is such a wonderful time at my house with all the grandkids and great-nephews & niece. The 1st picture here is of Carly & Emma Cate by the lake! The 2nd one is of Brooklyn trying to hold all 3 of the little ducks. Next is Keegyn & Brooklyn holding the ducks, then a picture of all of the kids by the lake.(with the exception of Carly & Emma Cate...they weren't here at the time) The next picture is my favorite....it is very difficult to get a good picture of all 6 of the children but I love this one! The baby in the middle is Rainey & she knows how to put on a show!!! After all, she is the baby of the group...that's her job!!!

Too many ducks to hold at one time!!!

Easter is so much fun around here! This year we had 3 little baby ducks running around & being loved by the kids. They were so adorable! This is Raven holding one of the ducks, Brooklyn holding one of the ducks, Brooklyn with a purple egg & then all the kids making bunny ears!!!lol

HAPPY EASTER SWEETPEAS!!!!

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A WONDERFUL EASTER. IT'S SO EASY TO GET CAUGHT UP IN THE COMMERCIAL SIDE OF EASTER BUT WE ALL NEED TO REMEMBER OUR HEAVENLY FATHER & THANK HIM FOR ALL HE HAS DONE FOR US. HE IS TRULY THE REASON FOR THIS HOLIDAY.

Seven going on seventeen!!!

Raven is growing up so very fast! She was 7 on March 10th. We went to Lowes & Walmart last Friday to buy some spring flowers. I told her she could pick out something for herself at Walmart....she usually picks out a toy...Polly Pockets, Pet Shops or My Little Pony....this time she said she wanted some fake fingernails! She didn't want the little girl nails but the grown-up ones. I let her get these, knowing they didn't come with glue that might be harmful to her little body. I used some nail hardner that I already had & explained to her that she could wear them for a little while & then they would fall off. She was alright with that, believe it or not!!! She just wanted me to take some pictures of her & her grown-up nails.

My Marie Antoinette Shoe!!!

I recently joined the "Marie Antoinette Mail Art Group". If you love Marie Antoinette, you should definitely check this group out! There are lots of swaps you can join. I love, love, love shoes but can't wear heels anymore(due to the aging factor, but we won't go into that right now), so I thought the "Altered Marie Shoe" swap would be perfect!!! I chose this fuschia pump and this is what I came up with!! I hope my swap partner, Heidi, likes it!!!

I didn't make it to Antiques In Old Town after all!!!!

I really tried to get there!!! Really, I did!!! I picked up my friend, Jackie & headed that way! It was raining so very hard & the traffic was terrible & I accidentally got off at the wrong exit. I didn't even realize it until I had gone about 30 miles!!!lol We still had a great time, though. We ended up shopping in Conyers & Covington. I bought a beautiful "Gone With the Wind" lamp at Churchill Antiques in Covington. It's pink and beautiful & I got a great price!!! The next morning my son came over at 8 a.m. to go with me to Antiques In Old Town. We decided it was just too dangerous to drive that far with all the storms coming through. It rained all day. It was just a good day to stay inside....so that's exactly what I did!!! I hate that I missed the spring open house but I will be going there soon to see what is left!!! Cheryl and the other girls there are always putting new treasures in their booths so maybe I will get something very special!!!lol

THIS IS WHERE I WILL BE TOMORROW!!!!

TOMORROW IS THE SPRING OPEN HOUSE AT "ANTIQUES IN OLD TOWN" IN LILBURN, GA. I CAN'T WAIT!!! I WILL SEE MY FRIENDS CHERYL AND ROWANN. HERE ARE SOME PICTURES I TOOK OF CHERYL'S BEAUTIFUL BOOTH THE LAST TIME I WAS THERE. SHE REALLY KNOWS HOW TO DECORATE, DOESN'T SHE????
