This picture didn't show up as well as I'd hoped. Our home was built by my great-grandfather's uncle (Henry Downing) and after we bought our home, I was fortunate to receive these photo's from my mom. The picture of the house is from the era of penny postcards. The dinner scene is Christmas Eve 1897 and my grandmother is 12 years old in this picture. Wish they showed up better!
I took this picture on our Ohio trip and it so reminded me of the gardening time that is sure to get here sooner or later. I love all the watering cans, but especially the sign - it just says it all!
FINALLY I got to have the door open to the shop today and let some fresh air inside. It felt so great! One of the antique dealers down the street came in because he could actually smell the candle from out on the street! I love to be able to air things out after such a LONG winter. One more week and I can finally do a shop redo - just waiting for Easter to be over. Getting pretty antsy, hope I can wait!Tonight is sewing night. Hubby works late every Thursday night, so this is a good time to get a little caught up. I cut out about 6 dolls at the shop today, so I can't wait to get going on them. I've had all these ideas in my head since I went to Ohio and just haven't had a chance to work on any of them. I got some great fabric when I went up north on Tuesday, so now I can finally put it to use!
Well prim pals, have a great evening and enjoy the sunshine if it has hit your neck of the woods! Until tomorrow...
