And the week goes on...

Hello everyone.. 

Hope you are all doing well.. 

We have had a busy week thus far.. 

Yesterday, we went down to St. Martins to hook up the water in the cottage.. 

Can you see the lovely Bay of Fundy in the picture above.. 

See the Bay way over there in the blue and the distant shores are of Nova Scotia.. 

You followers know that we live in a wee village here in New Brunswick, Canada and in the Summer we live in our old 150 year old summer house... 

Old, peeling paint and in need of a new roof this year.. 

smile... Oh well...

Here is the view of the Bay from our driveway.. 

Pretty with the tide slowly coming in this day..

A nice breeze was blowing in though and a hint of rain was in the air.. 

There wasn't much I could do while Terry worked at the water so I drifted on over to my little pink cottage shop...

I took this pic on my way to the secret path that Janelle made for me.. 

See the back of the shop by the tree? 

Anyway...

I could smell these before I saw them...

Lovely magnolia blooms... sigh... so fragrant...

I wonder what is going on in the HOUSE OF HENRY... 

The little cross stitch my friend Christine from Northern Ireland sent me...

Little Henry is sitting and sniffing the magnolias... ahhhh..

Don't you love old chocolate boxes?...

I do... 

These guys are enjoying the sunshine...

A bit of odds and ends.. 

Love the blue...

We always check out the Bay before we head for home.. 

Kinda calm today... 

Gotta get going... 

The magnolias will no doubt be gone by the time we get back again... 

We were to our District Conference and were so blessed to hear anointed preaching of the Word that so inspired and challenged... 

Thank you, Lord..

Hope you dear ladies are having a wonderful week.. 

Thank you so much for your sweet visit and I look so forward to hearing from you.. 

Hugs from me to you...

Old China and a Memory Box...

Good Evening dear ladies.. 

A little bit of a post tonight...

It has been a sunny but very cold day here in Eastern Canada ..

 I am still laying low with this cold but am on the mend..

Thank you, dear Lord.. 

I was looking for something today in my china cabinets and decided to take a few pics for you.. 

 

I know I have shown a few before but it was a while ago.. grin.. 

There are a lot of you ladies who love old pieces of china like I do.. 

When I started this blog it was to be snippets of my day.. 

Just little things that take up the hours as the Keeper of this home.. 

Hopefully, something will encourage or inspire you..

So.. with that in mind I am afraid you might find me a bit eclectic at times.. smile..  

I was putting some things away this afternoon and I came across  a shoe box from Christmas.. (I can not throw out shoe or chocolate boxes)  grin... 

As a small girl they were my treasure boxes.. We only had chocolates at Christmas and shoe boxes were rare but when we did 

I would do my best to be allowed to have them..  I used them to put in my wee special things..

I think this little soul was born with a creative mind..

We were a very poor family but I did not mind.. It is amazing what

a child can do with  a little box and a piece of fabric or perhaps an old Eaton's catalogue.. 

Throw in a few buttons from Mama's blouse and Grams loving advice and I would have a masterpiece.. grin.. 

So, today I thought I would make myself one ..

Just for old times sake... 

A roll of postal paper and a piece of wrapping paper...

A glue stick and a marker..... 

A little box to put special little reminders of my days.. 

Perhaps a card from someone dear, a grandson's picture of a special day, a shell or stone or maybe a flower... 

A reminder from the year 2012.. 

Maybe.... a church bulletin for the Sunday that our son comes back to God.. 

Will you help me pray for that?

Bless your hearts...

Thank you sweet friends for your visit.. 

God is an awesome God and who knows what this year might bring.. 

Let me know if you make yourselves a little memory box.. 

Looking forward to hearing from all of you..
