Quilt Topper

-
I wasn't happy with the white
bedspread in the Grandchildren's Room,
but I didn't really know what I wanted.
I'm so glad I waited.
Yesterday, I found a quilt top
at a local Antique Store.
It looks perfect on the bed
and I'm sure will provide hours of
alphabet "lessons".

I can just picture a sweet little
lady somewhere lovingly
embroidering each picture's letter.

A is for Apple

B is for Ball

C is for Camel
(not sure why some of the pictures
came out sideways)

D is for Duck

E is for Elephant

F is for Frog

G is for Goose

H is for Hen

I is for Ice Cream

J is for Jack in the Box

K is for Kangaroo

L is for Lamb

M is for Mouse

N is for Needle

O is for Owl

P is for Penguin

Q is for Quill

R is for Rabbit

S is for Squirrel

T is for Turkey

U is for Umbrella

V is for Vegetables

W is for Windmill

and then there are X, Y, and Z.

I find it interesting the objects they connected
with each letter years ago.
N would never stand for Needle today.
Ninja, Narwhal, Neptune, etc. maybe.

Which letter's picture is your favorite?
I think I like O is for Owl
and R is for Rabbit the best.

It is such a neat feeling to find the perfect "something." Do you go to the doorway and just look many times in a day?~donna p

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...

Bluebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring are synonymous! What a beautiful display of God's beauty! My friend, Lea, gave me a beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by James Avery . You can see it by clicking the link above. I love wearing it because it reminds me of my roots. I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned in elementary school. Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?
