Beautiful Gray Skies on Pink Saturday…It’s RAINING in Central Texas

I’m listening to the most beautiful sound in the world! Rain! With a rumble of Thunder on the horizon…I stood in my kitchen and watched my flower beds fill with wonderful rain and I cried with joy. This rain will help extinguish fires…it will save thousands of trees…the grasses will green up and feed livestock… This is a beautiful gray Pink Saturday. And Central Texas is so Blessed today…Happy Birthday Eve to Nancy at My Crafty Little Page. She is going to get the best birthday gift she could dream of…look at the TV radar… Beverly encourages us to find the Pink in our world. Today my Pink comes in yellow and orange on the TV screen and in the gray of the clouds.

Happy, Happy Gray Pink Saturday!

I'm so glad you are getting rain, LaVerne. Not only will the Birthday Girl be happy, but so will soooooo many fellow Texans. It's a long time coming.....and so needed.

We started out our day in KC, MO with cool low 50s temps and DRIZZLE.....and a 5K run to look forward to! By the time we lined up at the start, the moisture was gone, but it was still cool. At the 2 mile mark, I told the gal I was running with that I sure wished I had decided to tough it out and wear shorts and a short sleeve shirt. I don't do well when I'm overheating! :) However, we made it fine . As we hung out for the rest of the events/festivities/food....we were all shivering again!

I hope you guys get as much rain as you want and need. It really is a Pink Sat. Birthday Gift Nancy will love.

Have a great weekend!

L, Dana

Limping Deer and the Twins

Limping Deer and the Twins
They are still spotted at this time.

Show and Tell Sunday June 15

Flea Market Finds...sounds like my whole house and yard...

Milk Glass Collection

Milk Glass Collection
Who knew that a 25 cent flea market find would unleash such a collecting frenzy? I never pay more than a dollar unless it's a really nice piece. They are great grouped with a single daisy in each.

These used to be inexpensive florist vases in the 50's and 60's. Everyone's Grandmother had bunches.

Mexicana Dishes

Mexicana Dishes
My sister found these for me at Bussy's Flea Market in San Antonio, Texas. I had seen pictures in her Fiesta reference book. Mexicana was also made by Homer Laughlin in the 30's. I had been looking for several years without ever finding even a single piece when she found the set...with a promise to hold it for us, she came running to find me and I bought the entire set...60+ pieces for $50.

I've added to the set over the years, but the price and experience will never match that first amazing find.

Vintage Kitchen Hutch

Vintage Kitchen Hutch
When my hubby found this hutch it was Pepto pink and I was not 100% sure about it. But with a new red back and fresh white paint and refurbished hardware, it became one of my favorite pieces.

Nancy made me save the vine

Nancy made me save the vine
The vine and flowers painted on the inside were in such bad shape that I was ready to remove it all. Nancy -My Crafty Little Page convinced me to keep it and after some touch-up work, I'm glad I listened to her. My husband restores vintage Cushman motorscooters and he tries to make everything "mint" condition again. The Shabby Chic movement came along just in time to keep me from making some terrible mistakes.
