Isn't it Lovely...Final Friday

How can this be the last Friday of February?

This month has flown by.

This last week of Finding the Lovely

in everyday things, has been just that...

Lovely.

Many signs of Spring, a visit with my daddy,

and a few glimpses into the past.

I hope you enjoy my "lovelies"

as much as I enjoyed

discovering them.

 A beautiful drive over Afton Mountain

to go see my daddy.

The chalk slate my paternal grandfather

used in grammar school.

Camelias blooming in my daddy's neighbors yard.

My daddy and his 4th cousin that we just met.

Johnny Jump-Ups blooming in my beds.

Heather in full bloom.

Aconite blooming so happily in the beds.

Hellebores in bloom.

Fat fluffy buds on my Magnolia Tree.

The veggie bed all nicely plowed with

cow patties added for enrichment.

Until I get real ones, my one and only goat.

My first attempt at crocheting.

This weekend  I will be doing several different creative things,

crocheting, sewing, journaling and maybe a little

gardening if the weather allows.

Hope it is a wonderful day for everyone

and a super weekend.

Remember to take the time to find the loveliness

in the little things that life offers to you.

They are all around you,

just take time to notice.

Isn't It Lovely Yet Again?

So, this is week 3 of Jeanne and Kimberly's

Finding the Lovely.

This weeks lovelies for me

consisted of things in my house

which make me smile.

Isn't it funny how little things that we may glance at everyday,

can bring a smile to our face?

They may not be special to anyone else,

but they mean just a little something extra to us.

This weeks pics for me included:

my Buddha that is in my yoga corner,

my gratitude pendant I wear around my neck,

Kelly Rae Roberts calendar print for February,

my old blue atomizer plant mister I bought years ago

in a Flea Market,

tarnished silver candlesticks that

belonged to my Grandmother,

coffee, sugar and my George Mason mug,

lovely little box a dear friend gave me,

my antique bird cage my sister in law gave me,

my messy desk in my slice of heaven,

pastels in an antique silver caddy,

the Valentine's Day card I sewed for my hubby,

and my colorful pillow on my great grandmother's settee.

I am off to Richmond tomorrow morning to go see my daddy.

We will spend the weekend together and I am

bringing back a bag of fabric and notions

that belonged to my mom.

Some of this fabric is from back 40 years ago

when my mom made my clothes.

I can't wait to see what all is in the bag.

Sunday I will head back early as we are suppose to

finally get some decent SNOW!!!!!

I hope, I hope, I hope!!!!

Also, for anyone who is really into vintage fabrics,

sewing/crocheting fun little thingies,

decorating with a funky-granny chic twist,

and just enjoys reading fun little jottings from

a wonderful quirky personality,

please check out

Tif Fussell of Dottie Angel.

Her book,

Dottie Angel the peachy crafty world of tif fussell.

It is such a wonderful book. 

I read it front to back in 2 days

and am most certain I will read it again

because it is just that darn cute.

I want to live next door to Tif and be her best friend.

Here's wishing everyone a wonderful weekend.

Do something creatively delicious and fun.

Cheerio!!!
