    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."

    (Disney Theme Song)

  • Rick Rack & Polka Dots

    Rick Rack & Polka Dots

    Oh, how I LOVE APRONS! They treat my heart to so many wonderful memories like...My precious Gramma Peggie, her warm, sweet smelling kitchen, her strong faith in God, her loving heart, and her melodious laughter...Times past that are dear to my heart!

    SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR SHIRLEY...OF "Zetta's Apron"

    This week I have been stitching up something special for the very first person who left a comment on my new blog. Her name is Shirley from "Zetta's Apron" blog. In a loving tribute Shirley has dedicated her blog to her Grandma Zetta's memory. I was so touched by this that I thought it would be most appropriate to make an apron in honor of her Grandmother. Shirley loves the color RED (like me) and she has a penchant for polka dots. My dear Shirley...I hope you enjoy wearing your red, white and polka dot apron in good health!

    ***AN APRON ISN'T AN APRON WITHOUT A POCKET***

    ***ALL TIED UP WITH A PRETTY BOW***AND A CUSTOM "Chenille Cottage" LABEL***

    BLESSINGS, SHIRLEY...I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR NEW APRON!
    LOVINGLY,
    CAROLYNN xoxo

  • Sweet Spoolie

    Sweet Spoolie

    Do you want to see something really cute?

    Sandy from "521 Lake Street" had an Easter Spoolie Swap.
    I was paired with Joyce from "Scrap For Joy".
    She created this darling Spoolie.
    It is perched high atop a vintage Jello mold.
    I just love it, Joyce!

    Joyce is an amazingly creative lady.
    She made this adorable swag.
    I love the tiny creatures she so artfully crafted.
    Thank you, my sweet new friend!

    Do you see what I see?
    Polka dots a plenty...
    Joyce gave me two of the cutest little egg cups.
    I just love them!

    Bunny Express with a truck load of fresh carrots...
    Could they be from Mr. McGregor's Garden?

    Tea Time at Chenille Cottage

    Bunny Hugs...

    The Red Hutch all decked out for Spring.
    My grandmother passed her Desert Rose dishes on to me.
    I have many memories of Easter dinner at her house as a girl.
    I miss her so much!

    

    

    Dearest Joyce,
    Thank you for this darling keepsake.
    It is so sweet and will grace my kitchen this Spring.
    I love every thoughtful gesture and each lovely gift.
    In the coming weeks I will be sharing all of your red pretties, too.
    I am thankful to have gained a dear new friend.

    I'm so happy you stopped, my dear blogging family and friends.

    Blessings to each one of you
    and a Happy Spring!

    "For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone.
    The flowers appear on the earth;
    the time of the singing of birds is come
    and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land.

    The fig tree putteth forth her green figs,
    and the vines with the tender grapes give a good smell.
    Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away."
    Song of Solomon 2:11-13
