Darling Finds......

 Hi Sweet Friends,

I thought I would share some of my recent
Antique Mall and Revive shop finds.

I found this darling wooden bird cage
with these two little birds sitting inside
of it. When I took them out I discovered
that they were salt & pepper shakers!!
I think they are adorable, don't you?








 You may have to click onto the picture to see just how cute this little girl is with the kittens! I found this one and a twin just like it. It is very, very, old. I am thinking maybe early 1900's. It is the original frame and matting. The second one has an issue with a little discoloration over the little girls head.








 Here is the darling wooden bird cage. I think someone spray painted this gold. It needs a bit
of cleaning up, but it is really cute!! I was thinking of spraying it all white....Tell me what you think,
would you leave it as is or paint it????




   I was thinking about embellishing this cute clip board as well with a vintage photo perhaps.





Well friends I wish you ALL a Great Weekend!!


Love and Blessings,

Susan
xxoo :))

    Ohhh I love the cage and little birds. they look almost real and I bet they are collectors pieces and valuable, I know lots of folk are salt and pepper pot collectors so maybe you should check. I adore that Clip board just as it is with the gorgeous butterflies, so vintage and so beautiful.

My Beautiful Sam Passed Away This Afternoon......

Image
Hello Dear Friends, With an extremely heavy heart I tell you that I have lost my little friend tonight. I thought he was having hairball problems and so my husband and I brought him to the vets late this afternoon. Upon arrival Sam was gasping for breath and they rushed him into a room and gave him ogygen. The nurse asked us if she could take an x-ray to see what was going on. When the nurse came back to the room she told us the devastating news, that Sam had a tumor next to his heart and that his lungs were filled with fluid. I was just floored....I am still in shock. We had Sam for 4 1/2 years and he was...well how do I explain to you the love that he gave us....he was always there for me....he would lie by my side in bed when I was ill and after two major surgeries....he would eat, have is water, and just stay with me. I always said he was a gift from God and he truly was. Tonight this is what I have learned.....even after my Sam has passed away he leaves this last gift   ....

Friends and Flowers

Hi Blogging Friends, I wanted to share this lovely bouquet of flowers that was brought to my door this afternoon. My dear friend Maggie sent these to me for my birthday.....they are so Beautiful and Maggie is an absolute doll to think of me. I know we all talk about our friendships here in blogland that we have found, and I know we appreciate each other very much. My life has changed so much in the last 9 years. I have had many surgeries and things going wrong physically which limited me quite a bit. Since 2003 I have not been able to drive anymore and that in itself was a big blow to me. I inherited a rare disease of the corneas in which I have had multiple surgeries for over the years, hence no more driving. Well I can go on but I will stop there. The real point in all of this is I have been lonely and needed somehow to connect with people and then I discovered the World of Blogging!!  WOW...I never dreamed that I would meet such loving and caring folks....
