Hello sweet friends.... As promised I wanted to share a few more pictures that I took at the Antique Mall I visited with my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law. I just loved these sweet dresses hanging in the window.....don't you?? I remember wearing one like the dress on the right when I was young. I always loved getting new dresses...which my aunt from NY would send to me or my grandmother.  I still have a dress and a pink bathrobe my grandmother made for me. They are very dear to my heart.  Do you still have clothing that your mom made for you or your grandmother?? Let me know if there are any of you who have been able to keep these items through the years. Or maybe have passed them down to your children. While strolling through the antique mall I found the sweetest flowers attached to a linen curtain. This rose was actually outside near my in-laws house...I thought you would love to see it!! Another item that caught my eye was this pape...

 Hi Friends, As you all know I was visiting family in Arizona for two weeks recently. During my visit I was able to go back to one of my favorite antique malls. The Merchants Square in Chandler Arizona has countless booths with everything from bathing suits made with sea shells to vintage toy trains and scrumptious booths with items you wish you had brought a truck to bring them all back home with you!!!! One booth in particular drew me in...As I was gazing longingly at all the wonderful items a lovely lady and I started to talk and as it turned out she was the owner of this lovely booth.  As we chatted with one another we found we shared some places in common where we use to live in N.J.  I asked Ruth if she would mind if I took some pictures of her booth and if she would allow me to do a post about her and her lovely booth.  Ruth was most gracious and accepted my offer. Yay!! The soft lamp light Ruth uses in her booth makes for a delightful ...

 Hi sweet friends, I returned from Arizona this past Monday and so I am posting some pictures of my visit with you. I stayed with my husbands Mom and Dad in Phoenix AZ. Mom and Dad bought a home right on the golf course just a few months ago after selling their home in Colorado. Dad plays golf about three times a week and is happy as a clam....did you ever wonder how happy a clam could be? Lol  Can you believe there is a doves nest up in this Palm tree? Well there is. Mr and Mrs Dove wove some palm fronds and have quite a high rise condo up there!! I have never seen baby Doves before have you?? This is Mom and Dads backyard!! every morning I would take my coffee and sit here in the chaise lounge and...just relax...Ahhhh! This is Mom and I getting ready to leave for a ladies luncheon!!  The weather was just perfect!!  Here I am at the pool....This is the "cold "pool"...it felt good though!!!  I wanted to be there for Mom's birthday...

Hi All, Just wanted to let you know I will be on my way to Arizona in a couple of days for two weeks!!  I will have plenty of photos and stories to tell upon my return. Wishing you All Love and Blessings, Ciao Bella's :) Susan xxoo

 Hi Sweet Friends, I first want to say hello to my newest followers!!! Welcome dear ladies! I hope you will enjoy coming here and I will be visiting you as well!!! Today I want to share with you all some pictures of my Roses...I thought you would like to take a few minutes and enjoy natures beauty here in Georgia!!! It is so gorgeous here in the Springtime. This is my favorite time of the year here in the south. Today is just a perfect temp, in the 70's and low humidity. The lake photos are of our largest lake here in Georgia it is called Lake Lanier. There is fishing and boating on the lake. The color of the water was a lovely green/blue yesterday on Easter. We took a bit of a ride for the afternoon before we came back to our Easter dinner. I did not do a typical Easter dinner...I bought a lovely roast and put it in the crock pot with fresh veggies. I made some red potatoes and lovely rolls with a small salad. Ice cream was for dessert! ...
