Merlin on the cat tree- Give away coming!

Happy pretty sunny Monday!

 But not for long, rain and snow again tonight and tomorrow. Seems like we get a few days in the 60's and then snow. But Spring is almost here weather wise anyhow!
 Merlin on the cat tree, the K-3 love it!
I am having a giveaway to coincide with the Victorian Etc issue coming out. I made
a silver angel wing and heart charm necklace. It goes along with the theme of my article on Angels.
I wish you a week full of sunshine and joy!

Canning Jar with Stamped Spoon, Lunch with Laurie!

We made this canning jar vase with a stamped Vintage spoon for my boss Darlene for her Birthday on Saturday. It is supposed to be Spring but Saturday looked like the middle of winter here! Her desk looked like a flower garden as everyone got her flowers! The K-3 got a new cat tree- they love it! If the sun comes out I will get a photo. Cold and snow again here! I met Laurie of Button Floozies for lunch a week ago. She is wonderful and we will get together soon again! She brought an Etsy book that she contributed to Etsy 101 by Seve Weber. Thanks again Laurie!!

Vintage Photos For You!

Hello Blog Friends,

Scanning photos and catching up on housework. As most of you know I work at a Motorcycle Dealership and we are starting to get busy. You get used to Summer Hours and more money and then when Winter Hours come you say oh well I get home before 6! So Yeah Summer hours will be here March 1st, it means longer work days and late deals. Now that I am closing deals now too, makes the day go faster when it is busy, way more responsibility but ok so far! I normally don't do much cooking through the week especially during summer hours as I really honestly do not like eating after 7 at night and I will be getting home between 7 and 8. So I was reminding Bob- fajita salads and easy quick light meals he can have ready when I get home- Bob is always happy for Sunday and Monday as those are my days off. I normally cook then but, now that Bob works at home we sometimes do lunch or dinner out on Monday's as our day to do something together.

 Last night we had Greek Gyro's my favorite yum! I had a wonderful NASCAR night with Gyros and my Delicious Red Wine!!

 Bob and I are avid Angry Bird Players and we play on facebook in the weekly tournaments. It is so much fun! I can't wait until Tara has the strength back in her arms to go back and play with us in the tournaments! She always makes me laugh- she will call me on a Monday after she has been home from work and just start laughing- so I know that she has beat me or Bob in the current game- but not for long!

It is beautiful here today, sunny and 55! Snow maybe for Wednesday and Thursday.

Here are 2 beautiful Vintage Photos-

The one in the black frame says Harris Cortland NY, the name of this beautiful woman is Lela Spencer Killawog.
The beautiful woman with the Black Rose Pin is an unknown.

Thought I would share these with you! Have a great week! XO Linda
