Part of our Christmas package from the neighbor at Christmas included some New Years good luck marzipan pigs. They were sure cute, tasted HORRID, but cute!! ha!
Random photo from the grocery store... franks in jars... no plastic packages here folks, just jars and jars of franks!
Random sunset pictures... it was so pretty and this may have been when we had a bit of the Saharan desert in the air here... that was fun... the clouds during mid day reminded me of tornado clouds...yellow tinge.. but I'll be darned if I could get a good picture of it!
Snowing in the sunshine...
My plants at work... that green potted one on the left reaches all the way to the window :) LOVE my plants. The BIG peace lily under the SUU flag is something like 15 years or 16 years old now.. she is HUGE!!! the ones on the table to the right are now back in my window now that they won't get frostbite sitting up there :)
These photos are so out of order... but this is outside of the antique store that I finally got to go to recently... Antikissimo... it's more of a junk store, but fun... I bought this painting...
AND noted the hole in it that had a very poor mend to it... so I went on a tangent looking for how to fix it properly... The frame spoke to me, the painting itself spoke to me... so I had to have it. hole and all... although stupid me, if I had seen the horrible patch I would have negotiated more on it.
Love the lichens on the apple trees
This was the other purchase - a very antiqued wash stand with a blue bowl. I do like it... it is now holding my plant on the third floor... and I have trimmed this plant a bit more too... there are no longer tendrils going down to the 2nd floor.
Here is the painting out of the light... it's pretty "dark" because it is a stormy day... but really, i like it... I mended the lower left corner of the frame where a few pieces came off and fixed some loose areas as well... I had all the pieces, just needed to glue them.
So, it's still a work in progress, but it's getting there...and regretfully the hole you CANT see here.. is more noticeable after the mend... but I now I have some oils to really resolve the issues that are there... I'll see if I can find a more recent picture of the poor hole...
Flowers I purchased at Real a few weeks ago and plopped in the ground. they are quite happy!
Easter Eggs I ordered and received from a gal on line as they don't have Markets this year - thanks COVID!
AND I went to Lisa's antiques and collectables as well this year...
I finally went and found this cute card press - Butch thinks it's a reproduction... I don't care, I love it. I think I want to use it as a flower press for smaller flowers.
My Easter "tree" with a few of my eggs up there...
Plans to use this for Christmas... they are wooden strap on skates. These will go on the sled for my porch for decorations.
