Vintage Thingie Thursday


Another exciting day for Vintage Thingie Thursday. So many neat and interesting vintage goodies can be found at http://coloradolady.blogspot.com



The following is the tiniest canister set ever.  It belongs to my sister. A few years ago, she downsized almost to the bear walls, but kept this little treasure. The set was given to her by our niece, Coloradolady many years ago.

This very inexpensive duck planter also belongs to my sister.  Our mother gave it to her back in the mid-forties for Christmas. I got a different style planter, according to my sister, but do not recall what it was or what happened to it.

Blue Monday

Smiling Sally
So nice being back with Sally and all her Blue Monday bunch. To view some of the best blues go to http://smilingsally.blogspot.com

I went the wrong way for a few days, but doing very well now.  I have had a lot of personal diagnosis, but no professional. Nothing serious though. Sometimes our bodies just get out of whack. Seeing the doctor next week to have some test made. 

I do not have adequate words to express my appreciation to all of you for the outpouring of concerns and prayers. It is simply overwhelming. Better than any medicine. To someone at my stage in life, it is unbelievable. There are way too many of the older generation that do not have that.  I am truly blessed.

Using a quote from Pam Brown that I feel it is very fitting.

"A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil; but it needs a little mulch of cards, letters and phone calls, just to save it from drying out completely"

Cards have always been my weakness. Love sending and receiving. Through Saturday, I have received 62. I have enjoyed each one so much and they gave great pleasure. They just do not come better than the blogging family. I have been truly touched by your response.

Bloggers ARE great FRIENDS

 
Hello! This is Suzanne, from Coloradolady blog. My Aunt is Lavoice, aka MEME. She has been sick for about a week and is still not well. Not sure what is going on, but she is just not up to getting on the computer. Hopefully, this week she will know something more. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

I thought I'd do a post for her here...(without her permission) and let you know what was going on....and to request a simple get well card or well wishes card be sent her way! I feel pretty safe in posting this, and will remove the post in a day or so...so she doesn't catch me! HAHA.

She loves her blogging friends, and a mailbox FULL of well wishes would brighten her day!!! I posted about this on my BLOG. CLICK HERE for the information. She has 722 followers....and if half sent her a card...she would be THRILLED...and it would mean the world to her!

Thanks in advance......please follow over to my blog and get the mailing information. THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING SUCH WONDERFUL FRIENDS!
