Here is the sweet little jar Laurie sent to me.
Laurie fashioned a bird to sit atop the mason
jar lid.  What a wonderful and sweet birdie!!

Laurie filled the jar with some wonderful items!!










I fell in love with this cameo pin!! It reminds me
of a pin that I have that belonged to my Great grandmother!! 








Here are three wonderful vintage glass buttons!!
Look at the beautiful green glass!!!!

Two tiny crochet doilies!!
So precious!!

 Love the little tiny chick...it's sooo soft!!




Some pretty trims..I know I will use!!!

    Okay, I just am so excited to see Laurie's creation. I knew you two would be great partners. I have been partnered with Laurie a couple of times, and both have been wonderful. I hope you both will post on flickr. I am really trying to get that going for the swaps we will be doing this year. If you can it is "The Honey Pot's Vintage Swap" at flickr.com Hugs to you Michele

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....
