Christmas Past...


Not so long ago my parents were little...Sometimes that it hard to believe.... But they were. The picture on the top are of my Uncle, my Aunt and my Dad ...He's the little boy on the right. I just love this picture of them all in matching red and white stripes and polka dotted pajama's which were probably hand made for them. I wonder where I can get me some of those...They are so cute.


The next picture is of my Mother on jolly Santa's lap taken about 1953...
This picture is stinkin sweet.
 I proudly have it on my mantel.....
It is utterly adorable.



The next photo is taken of my Great Grandfather with his wife (re-married), The young girl in braids is my Great Aunt...This was taken around world war II.. They had a real tree lit with candles...Imagine that...Candles...fire on the tree...ahhhh!!! They sure do look like they are dreamy or dreaming... It really is a neat picture.



The last picture is my Mother again standing in front of her
 Christmas tree with BIG presents...
 I wonder if they were all for her.
 She reminds me of a little Shirley Temple.
 I wish Icould go back in time to see these moments in real life...
I think it would have been neat to see how they were
 and how their Christmas traditions went.
These pictures are very special to me.
I am blessed to have them.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend of reflection as
 well as peace during this hectic week prior to Christmas...
Only one week to go!!!

A Springtime "Just Because" Give Away !!!

Hello friends !!! It is time for a give away !!!!
I have put together a sweet bag of goodies for you... just because !

A darling antique photo of a little girl in the sweetest white dress...her name is written on the back: Marie Cross Campbel. I am also giving away a delicate antique white baby dress with stitched embroidery around the collar and a pair of vintage baby shoes.

Also, a vintage tin made in England which I have filled with this and that's & do dads a few doll heads and trims for crafting. A brilliant blue candle with beaded flower around the base, Darjeeling tea, a magnet that reads "Faith "on it.
A pretty journal for your thoughts which reads
" This is the day the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in it"
on the cover. A jar of homemade bath salts made with white tea salts, real lavender and bath leaves just for you to soak in after a long day ! Lastly I enclosed a book called The Excellent Wife by Martha Peace. The book is a biblical perspective on being an excellent wife, which God calls us to be.

Blessings to you and yours !!
