~♥ A New Treasure ♥~

Hello Friends...hope you all had a nice relaxing weekend.  That's what I mostly did...relaxed, napped, journaled,  read, finished watching Season 2 of Downton Abbey, and more relaxing.  I am feeling so much better since my surgery.  I went back to work on Tuesday but I had to take it easy.  My daughter, Emily, came to work with me since she's on break from business school until she starts back for her summer term in June.  She's a good kid, she could be doing other things on her break (I know I'd want to do other things as well) but instead she's helping her mama clean...I love her! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Just look at what I found in our garage...there are quite a few more treasures I spotted if only I can talk my hubby into letting me have them...keep your fingers crossed!

I'm thinking about adding some plants to it...I found some nice herbs that would look great in here. I'm hoping to get to some church sales this weekend...I'll be sure and post pictures if I find anything.Thanks for stopping by!♥ Kim

~♥ Cake Makes Everything Better ♥~

I honestly believe this statement...I've been recovering from some minor surgery and my sweet MIL brought me a cake...she knows how much I love cake!  It was chocolate with buttercream icing from our local Giant Eagle...boy was it delicious!  It has to be buttercream or a sweet icing, too, no whipped icing for me! 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

We have a tradition in our family that the day after your birthday you can eat cake for breakfast every day until it's all gone...my daughter's 19th birthday is coming up in June so we're looking forward to eating cake for breakfast.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Speaking of cake...I thought I'd share with you this picture of my Gram and Aunt Betty...see, look how happy they are eating cake (I wish I  knew who the other ladies are in the picture or even what year this was taken.) 

What cracks me up about this picture is the size of the cake on the woman's fork beside my Gram.

Thank you so much for stopping by

and remember this...

~♥ Flower Love ♥~

Hello to you on this lovely sunny afternoon in Southwestern PA...we were blessed with such a wonderful day...it literally puts sunshine in my soul!

I have finally gotten around to purchasing some flowers for my porch. 

The barrel was a yard sale find.

"Calabrachoa - Hot Pink"

I got this toolbox out of our garage...hubby wasn't using it.

"Gerbera Daisy, Orange Mint, Ivy"

I love milk glass...thrift store find.

"Angelart - Pineapple"

More "Angelart - Pineapple" in milk glass.

Silver bowl from my friend, Josie.

I bought geraniums for my deck...still need to spruce up the deck a little.

I have decided to get ferns to hang on my porch this year. My dear hubby found some big beautiful ones at one of our favorite garden store so hopefully I'll get them this weekend.

Thanks for stopping by!

♥ Kim
