Paris Love..........

NO, I didn't go to Paris, France recently.......This is one of my pictures taken at Epcot at DisneyWorld in Orlando, Florida. It sure looks real, doesn't it? Especially with the architecture that is all around it. And the bridge makes you think you are crossing the river that runs right through the city. It all seems like a beautiful dream...........

I Won! I Won! I Won!

I am so thrilled!

I won Jan & Tom's give-away for the beautiful Morning Glory Teacup! I usually don't win anything. I buy lottery tickets to no avail. I go to the casinos and lose all my money. I just don't usually win things. NEVER, until today. ~~I visited Rose Haven and there was my name. I couldn't believe it! This is a picture of the teacup and saucer set, isn't it beautiful?








They are running a teacup and saucer set drawing for 15 weeks total, and giving away one set every week. They are also giving away blog makeovers. So, go and visit them, you could be a lucky winner, too. They have a beautiful site, with lots of useful information and a lot going on. Thanks, Jan and Tom!

My Mind's Eye-----

I am dreaming of Spring, the time when the temperatures are mild, and the sun is shining. The birds wake me in the early morning, just outside my bedroom window. They are calling for their mates and building their nests. My garden is in it's full glory. Here is what I see in my mind's eye:


Dancing Butterfly Peony:

Alchemilla Mollis (Lady's Mantle):

My ornamental Cherry Tree in bloom:




Here is what I'm really seeing out my front door today~~~~Temperature about 7 degrees, cloudy skies, and about a foot of snow everywhere!

I just need to be patient, Spring will be here in no time at all. In the meantime, I have my friends, my hobbies and my loved ones to keep me warm!

A Great Give-Away!

I found another great give-away over at Amy's blog, Four Sisters in a Cottage. She is giving away these beautiful sheets of ephemeras. One is of children and the other is roses postcards. Here is a picture of the pieces you would get:

There are actually two sets in this picture--the top part is the children's set and the bottom part is the roses set. You would win one set! Aren't they beautiful!

The drawing will be on Friday night, Feb 6, 2009. Go on over to Amy's blog and leave a comment on the post about the ephemera sets. If you post about her give-away on your blog, you get ten extra entries! How can you beat that! So much fun!!!

Another Great Find!

This is my night stand and I wanted you to see the lamp that I got for FREE! So, here's the story~~
A couple of years ago, I went to a little town near here where there are about five antique and collectible shops. I went through four of the shops, which took quite a few hours. I was going to the last one, and I came up to the front of the store. The owner of the shop was clearing out some stuff and had a "free" sign posted on the table. I Came, I Saw, and I Grabbed! I took it inside and asked if it was really free and she said it was. I couldn't believe it, it was exactly what I was looking for! I love it and I didn't even have to rewire it! I love it. I guess it was meant to be! By the way, I did give her $5.00 for it! 'Til next time, Love ya, Jean
