Bloggers Are Givers

There is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving.

--Henry Drummond

Bloggers are givers and I have had occasion to be the recipient of many gifts this week.

Tuesday I had lunch with Donna from Distressed Donna Down Home. We have much in common. To say that she is fun and kind is an understatement. She brought me carrot muffins in the box tied with a yellow ribbon and at the time I was so excited to meet her I did not notice that there were three vintage Easter postcards tucked under the ribbon.  After lunch we went thrifting like we had been shopping together for years.

Donna sells primitives and shabby chic items and has two booths in an antique mall not far from our yellow house. Donna and I will be meeting for lunch and shopping again soon.

I won this Nest burlap banner from Judy at 20 North Ora. Judy sent me handmade quilted Easter eggs too. If you have not seen Judy's dress form, please look. It is a work of art.  We have a stone fireplace that is without a mantle so I was in a bit of pickle as to where to hang the banner. The kitchen window won. Thanks Judy.

Blogging friends near and far away have enriched my life this week.

joy and peace

Bright and Happy

Eastertide

That is my lone vintage Easter postcard.

 I seem to have one vintage postcard for each holiday. 

CC arrived home late yesterday afternoon.

I  squeezed her a lot and she in turn talked incessantly. 

It will not be quiet here next week.

I am auto-posting this while Joe and I are out at Garage Sales.

 I will catch up with you tonight.

Happy Saturday

Vintage Postcard

"None but the brave deserve the fair"

Says my lone vintage Valentine's postcard. 

She is giving him the eye and he looks startled. 

The postcard is dated 1959.

It is centered on the dining room table surrounded by hurricanes filled with red candles.

Do tell, any big plans for tonight?

happy valentine's day
