    Grateful

    Hi to all my dear family and friends,
    Today I have three special people that I want to THANK.

    Cindy from "OLD TIME FARMHOUSE" BLOG surprised me by choosing my name to win her vintage apron Giveaway.
    I love aprons...and, especially, gingham ones!

    Paula from "SUGAR SWEET AND PINK" BLOG created and lovingly stitched such sweet gifts for me. I'd like to share a few of them with you.
    I love each one!

    Mark...my hubby
    Thank you, Honey, for the cute as pie polka dot tea pot
    and the matching polka dot plates.
    You know just what I like.
    You are such a sweetheart 

    Polka Dots...
    Whiskers on Kittens...
    My favorite color...Red
    These are a few of my favorite things!
    
    

    Paula, My darling adopted daughter created this adorable kitty cat.
    She designed the pattern and the hand stitched touches.
    Paula added the crowning touch...the tiny blue and white creamer and saucer.
    I adore it, Paula!

    You guessed it...
    A few more of my favorite things!
    Gifts from my hubby...

    More RED...
    and
    More pretty Polka Dots!

    "My Little RED shoe Pincushion"
    It sits proudly in my sewing room.

    "Raggedy Ann"
    Do you see the light blue gingham apron draped over the chair back?
    Can you guess WHO gave it to me?

    Heart Shaped Pockets...
    Oh...How cute, Cindy!
    I love your darling giveaway!

    Cindy sent me this sweet vintage apron.
    I don't have the heart or wear it and get it dirty...
    I think it will hang proudly in my kitchen.

    My RED vintage kitchen chair
    with country tole painting.
    I found this at a Craft Faire in Tennessee.
    It has been used as a high chair for little visitors
    and has sat in my kitchen for many years.

    Sweet Paula gave me this beautiful vintage linen table cloth.
    I love the fine stitching and RED crocheted edging.
    Thank you, dear.

    Gifts from my sweet Paula
    Play Pals...
    Patti, Penny & Kitty

    "When you wish upon a star
    Makes no difference who you are
    Anything your heart desires
    Will come to you.

    If your heart is in your dream
    No request is too extreme
    When you wish upon a star
    As dreamers do.

    Fate is kind
    She brings to those to love
    The sweet fulfillment of
    Their secret longing.

    Like a bolt out of the blue
    Fate steps in and sees you through
    Your dreams come true."

    I Love February!

    Hello, My dear family & friends,
    Valentine's Day is past but for me it lingers in my heart and throughout the entire month of Love...
    I love February.

    "The man or woman you really love will never grow old.
    Through the wrinkles of time,
    Through the bowed frame of years,
    You will always see the dear face
    and feel the warm heart union
    of your eternal love. "
    A. Montepert

    Sweets for the Sweet!

    True Love
    Mark & Carolynn

    "Us"
    Our 12th Wedding Anniversary
    1998
    Mark and I have been happily married for 27 years.
    We met in San Diego in 1985...
    and it really was love at first sight!

    "Grow Old With Me
    The Best is Yet to Be."

    My Sweetheart
    "Then"

    My Sweetheart
    "Now"

    Is your mouth watering, yet?

    "His and Hers"

    Whenever we visit San Diego we always make a trip to See's.
    This year as Valentine's Day was approaching we indulged just a bit.

    Two Hearts Beating As One...

    I'm so glad you stopped by...
    I know that most likely several of you are on
    Post Valentine's Day diets...
    BUT
    I think you'd agree...
    We all need a little sweetness in our day!

    Blessings to you!
    Carolynn xoxo

    Faith,
    Hope,
    &

  • MOST WANTED: FOR THE WEEKEND

    MOST WANTED: FOR THE WEEKEND

    So, I wanted to stop by to thank you all for your encouragement after my last post about opening up a bit more over here. Who knew you'd all love a bit more of the personal stuff? Well, you did, obviously. Anyway, as a thank you, here's a list of things I really want. I know, I'm too good to you. Jokes aside, thanks for allowing me to not feel like a massive idiot for the offer of being a bit more sharey (yes, it's now a word) and for reading my blog. It means a lot to me. Oh, and if any of you are feeling extra generous, I would like one of each of the above please and thank you kindly. Ok, have a great weekend, friends and see you back here next week? Date, done.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.Love never fails." I Corinthians 13:4-8
