REDnesday




Cherry World 1

Missed last weeks REDnesday.  I am sure there were plenty of pretty reds shown at http://suelovescherries.blogspot.com  Sue is a great hostess and never disappoints us with her performance.


This looks like an over-sized checker board.   It was hard to believe someone took so much time and work to make this.  Yes, it is a quilt.


Another quilt, but covered in red birds.

Another very hot and humid day in Texas.  However, a visit with Beverly at http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog will find many cool Pinks Saturdays.


My post today is one perhaps your little girls will enjoy.  Two of my Beanie Babies.




Some talented craft person created this little fairy tale castle.


You just never know how many great and nice bloggers are out there until you do a little browsing around.  I found Joanne at "4joy" this week. A lady with an interesting blog loaded with great post.  She makes her home at http://4joy-joanne.blogspot.com.

Trust each of you that participate or visit Coloradolady are having a nice, cool week.  When you visit http://coloradolady.blogspot.com  you will find many interesting and hot vintage goodies.


This is an antique Sessions clock from the 1920s. This clock has come full circle.  Back in the early 80"s my late husband worked on clocks.  He seemed to enjoy working on the older ones.  This is one that he had bought and repaired.  Tryng to deccided on a gift for my sister and her husband, he felt this would be nice.  They have had it since the  mid 80's. 

My sister lives in Mississippi and they are in the process of downsizing and moving.  She is making sure some of the things stay in our family, such as this clock.  My other sister, that lives in my area, visited them recently and brought the clock back to me. The circle is not yet complete.  I am letting my son have it since it was important in the life of his dad.  It runs and keeps time perfectly.  Only problem, my sister that brought it to  me. lost the key that you need to wind it.

I called a clock place. The owner said they would have a key to fit it.  I just needed to bring in.  Bear in mind, my sister vowed she put the key in the back of the clock.  However, it was not to be found when my sister here and I looked.  I even got a flashlight in order to look more closely.  No key. I was very careful with the clock as I know nothing about them and did not want to brake something. Got it to the clock place and they did have a key to fit.  However, when he turned the clock upside down to check something else, guess what?  The original key fell out of the back of the clock.  It had gotten hung on the backside of the clock parts and you could not see it. What a shock and surprise.

The clock is now safely in the hands of my son.
CIRCLE IS COMPLETE
