Heart Hat -Guest Heart Thursday


I adore drawings and artwork from this time in history.  She looks a lot like drawings of the Gibson Girls which were popular around that time.  Then, large eyes, rosebud lips and peaches and cream skin were the ideal.  This young lady, with her heart hat seemed just perfect for Guest Heart Thursday.

Have a lovely weekend!

For more heart art, photography and altogether fabulous heart stuff from around the world, visit Clytie at Random Hearts for Guest Heart Thursday.

A Merry Halloween -Postcard Friendship Friday #243



It is hard to realize that October is nearly over.  Halloween is only a week away--children will dress up in all kinds of interesting costumes to trick or treat around the neighborhood.  It is especially fun to watch the small children--running from house to house for treats, followed by their protective parents.  The glee on their faces is something to see.

On another note, our chimney is about halfway up the side of the house.  It will be so wonderful to have heat again.  We are expecting another rainy windstorm tomorrow.  I do love a storm--but not as much when it is cold in the house.  Ah, but in a few weeks, all this will be in the past and we will be toasty warm beside the wood stove.

A Merry Halloween to you and have a lovely weekend, dear friends.  Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Please Get Off My Stool -Postcard Friendship Friday #242



I apologize for the lateness of my post today.  I have had computer problems all morning long.  Thank goodness, I finally was able to take care of all that and finally post Postcard Friendship Friday!  Thank you for your patience.

Here is one of my favorites--she sure looks like a Kewpie Doll.  I adore Kewpie Dolls.  I was given a lovely little Kewpie doll from the distant past, likely one of the very first, as she is made of bisque with moving arms.

Have a lovely day, dear friends.  Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Hallowe'en Greetings -Postcard Friendship Friday #241


I have posted this wonderful postcard in days past--but I love it so much I'm posting it again.  This artist captured something quite remarkable in this painting.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

We are still in the midst of the chimney and fireplace replacement--in fact, as I write this, the repairmen have pulled into the driveway, so I'm making this short and sweet! (grin)

Have a lovely weekend and Happy Postcard  Friendship Friday!

Many Happy Returns of the Day


I don't know where I found this darling postcard, but I thought I'd share it with you today.  Such a cutie kitten hiding in the bouquet of Lily of the Valley.

In my garden, the Lily of the Valley bloom from early April until June.

Have a lovely Lord's day!

My Fair Lady Rose -Postcard Friendship Friday #240


 

I apologize for the lateness of this post. We had a chimney fire some time back.  Repairs are finally underway.  The chimney is gone now and the noise of the work they've been doing is deafening!  I don't mind--it is the sound of progress.  I hope you will still join us today--even though I'm a bit late in posting. 

It has been so warm in our part of the world, the roses are still in full bloom.  This lovely Lady Rose seemed a perfect tribute to today's beautiful sunshine and balmy temperatures. 

The past five years or so, the rain started mid-September and didn't stop until late Spring.  Grandpa used to call bright and warm October weather an "Indian  Summer."  I loved his quaint phrases--things such as calling an ice storm, a "silver thaw."

If you are here in the Pacific Northwest, enjoy the sun whilst you can and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!
