Art of Mine

Hello Friends, Today I want to share with all of you a wonderful item I purchased recently from a very sweet lady who lives here in Georgia. I found her while strolling through Blogland one day. Her name is Terri Smith and she is an extraordinary artist!! The name of her Blog caught my eye because it had the word Dragonflies and anything with or about Dragonflies is ok with me...I am obsessed over them.. but thats another story....anyway I strolled through Terri's blog and became instantly a follower and lover of her art work. Besides her wonderful paintings she does is her glass work and this one I fell in love with. Around the glass at the bottom are the words Cape May Bitters....Cape May New Jersey was where my three sons and I would go every year to play in the ocean and walk on the boardwalk and go on rides on three piers. Not only do I love the Cobalt Blue color and the most perfect Shell on top but the fact that the bottle came from a place of such fond memorie...

Hi Friends, As promised I am posting some more pictures of our time down in Savannah and Tybee Island. This is my son Andy down by the water front in Savannah. We checked in and then we headed down by the river. Savannah has the 4th largest port in America and unlike the other three ports like New York and San Francisco, Savannah's port has plenty of room for growth. There are many nice restaurants down by the river and that night we had some wonderful fish by the river. After dinner we went on the Ghost tour of Savannah in a lovely black hearse!! Our driver is also a Fireman for Savannah so he had some very interesting tales to tell us!! This is one of the mighty Tug boats that push and pull the huge container ships that go in and out daily throught the Savannah river.        I think one of the crowning jewels in Savannah has to be her mighty Oak trees complete with Spanish Moss hanging from their limbs. The oldest Oak standing in Savannah is es...

                                            Hi Friends, Hope all of you had a fantastic Labor Day Weekend!! My Son Andy and I had a wonderful time visiting Savannah, Ga. for a few days. The weather was perfect. Andy had never been to Savannah before and I enjoyed showing him around. We visited Tybee Island as well. The waves were a bit higher than usual but there were no restrictions for swimming. You would never have known there had been a hurricane that had passed by hours before. Neither Savannah nor Tybee Island were affected by it. We also did one of the Hearse Ghost Tours on Friday evening which was alot of fun, the seats were a bit uncomfortable but the tour and guide were very interesting...and yes when we went to the old abandoned hospital it was pr...

Hi to All! Have you ever asked for something and someone went over and beyond your wildest dreams?? Well it happened to me and I will tell you how it all began. Michele from her "Something Special blog" had posted some time back on her blog about Alice in Wonderland tags and I thought that I would like to makea tag or two on Alice. So I hunted for any Alice ephemera I could find but I just did not find much out there, so I came back to Michele and told her my dilemma and asked if she could steer me in the right direction. Sweet Michele said that she would send me some Alice things in the mail. Well that dear lady was good to her word and sent me a "few" things....oh my oh my.... I posted all the goodies here that she bestowed upon me!!  I have no excuse now but to make an Alice tag ...or an Alice book, well the imagination is spinning out of control!!  One of the nicest items were pictures she copied from an old vintage Alice book her Mom had had when she was a...
