The Tiny Quilt

I went to a quilt show last week

and fell in love with a tiny quilt!

And the lady that made it was kind enough

to allow me to take photos!

If anyone recognizes the pattern of this little Sunbonnet Sue,

please let me know!

 I love the beautiful detail!

So many lovely quilts...

 

so much talent!

 

Do you love quilts?

What’s your favorite design?

 

I’m joining Mary at the dear little red house

for Mosaic Monday!

 

Roses with a lavender scent!

I received a rose in the mail that smelled like lavender!

I won Celestina Marie’s giveaway this past week

and the package came in the mail today...

smelling of lavender!

Her giveaway was for this beautiful hand painted box and heart....

but she filled the package with treasures....

and treats! (and a little packet of fragrant lavender!)

I’ve never seen a package so beautifully wrapped!

There was gift wrapping, tissue paper, netting, ribbons and roses!

Just opening it was a delight!

Thanks Celestina Marie!

Visit her blog HERE and her ETSY shop HERE !

 I hope everyone feels as special as I do today!

 

More Florida flowers for all of my friends.....

This is a Saucer Magnolia tree...

And this bloom is especially for Carmelina !

She always takes the time to answer

my art related questions.... and to be my friend!

AND she loves pretty flowers!

 

All of them taken today at Sholom Park!

Enjoy your weekend!

Honey, will you carry my books?

We had a little ‘day out’ yesterday

and we started with a trip to a book sale in Dunnellon!

I LOVE visiting libraries!

I have such wonderful memories of spending time at the

library when I was growing up and I still enjoy

walking into a ‘new’ library for the first time!

And what did I find? 2050 pages!

Well if I was looking for the three BIGGEST books in the library....

I think I found them!

New York by Edward Rutherfurd is one of my

ALL TIME favorite books thanks to

Pat at  Mille Fiori Favoriti .         

She mentioned this book on her blog

and I couldn’t wait to read it!

 My hubby hasn’t read it yet so it’s really for him! lol

I’ll read the Forest next!

And I couldn’t leave without at least a couple of old cookbooks.

So how did I do? FIVE books for $4....what a DEAL!

What are you reading right now?

Any other authors I should be looking for at book sales?

ENJOY your day!

I CAN PLAY !

I have something that most people don’t have....

a room for my dolls!

My hubby was sweet to put up shelves all over the room...

and here are the shelves above the baby crib (where the baby dolls live)

I collect children’s books, too.

 

 

 

I am posting this for Wednesday Wee Ones...

Do you have a neat collection?

Enjoy your day and take time to PLAY!
