Happy Birthday!!!

Oh I'm so excited to see everyone in their finest!! I love dress up! I knew the minute I read about the party I had to go straight to find a Jane Austen Dress! Not as easy as I originally thought it would be and I didn't find my favorite dress BUT I think for a Birthday Party this one is PERFECT!!! I love the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice and the gowns are on of my favorite parts (besides Mr. Darcy of course!) SO when I come across pics of this one I knew it had to be it!

I did find other views also Bodice...

and back...

I really could live in these type dresses! Maybe it was my past life!! I could deal with it now. The cottage and all!!
Happy Birthday to Sares at Loveleigh Treasures Please go and join the party. Put on your best or just enjoy all the lovely gowns all the rest are wearing! There's a door prize!! HURRY!! The party is over at Midnight and we all will turn back into Cinderella!
Hugs, Lisa

I'm beginning my series with Barbara Jean of Treasures from the Heart!
Not only is she a SUPER sweet person she is extremely talented. You should follow her blog for just a week to see how her treasure hunts turn into items you cannot live without!!! I followed her for awhile and then she came up with these:


Well I had to have them and I commented I wanted them and a short week later I got a box of the greatest treasures!! She has things all teh time and even has a selling blog now Treasures from the Heart Gift Shop That has the BEST treasures!!! Visit daily she adds stuff all the time.

Happy Birthday Dear Little Sister!!

My Little Sister is 25 today!!!! I remember her being born very well as I'm 15 years older than her!!! EEEKKKS!!

My sweet little Cupcake (Serenity Grace) is her youngest!

Memphis is her youngest boy!

Nate is her middle boy!

Christopher is her oldest!

She started very young!!!!!

So Happy 25 little sis!!

Look what I found! part 2

I forgot this little sweetie when I found my lovely Royal Dalton figurines!! My mom stuck her on a shelf and I didn't see her when I was taking pictures!

Isn't she lovely?

She belonged to my paternal Great Grand Mother. I actually have a few of her items, my mom was smart and took the little stuff no one wanted so I have some real treasures! (Oh idea for another post hehehe)

Please visit Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for other Pink Saturday lovelies!
Happy Pink Saturday!

Bears Oh My!

Just wanted to share some bears...

Piggies!!

I have a collection of pig cutting boards.

My mother's friend had a row of them in her kitchen and I've wanted some ever since.

So slowly but surely every chance I got or when mom found one I accumulated my collection.

Isn't great my kitchen has this over the cabinets so I can show them off.

I love my piggies, I hope you enjoyed them. Thanks for visiting!
Hugs Lisa

UPDATE!!!
Thanks for all the great comments on the black and white, I can take no credit as I reant and it was there when I got here, I love it but alas it is just wallpaper! Glad it looks so nice in pics!!
Hugs, Lisa

Bargin of the Day!

I'm so excited I found these chairs!! They are sage green which is one of my favorite colors. And they are cute! I think they look cool with my old farm table that has green peeling paint on the legs and will change the whole look of my Kitchen. The best part is all 4 chairs ( well they fold too a great help in a small house) cost me less than $20! New from World Market! Ok so I did cheat because my Mom works there and we got her discount but they were only $25 a set for everyone else!!

sorry this one is so blurry! eeeks!
