Color COLOR color.......Thrifted!

 Mimi and I are starting a little garden......I found these colorful pots
in town and we got our seeds planted last night and we are ready for a little color!
 I found these pretty little napkins.....ready for a lunch date or dinner.
 Here are my garage sale and thrift finds.....I love these colorful vintage mugs
they will be perfect for a camping trip!
 This old platter and I remember in restaurants years ago
 they would bring hot water out in these for your tea.
I'm using it everyday.....
 Is this cross stitch or needle point it was professionally framed
I thought it was so sweet and Mimi loved her!
 So we hung her on the wall with other thrifted treasures.....
Speaking of no color this is a Spruce hen 
there were 2 of them waddling through the yard.
I'm always amazed how close they will let you get to them.


I hope your week has been sunny and bright....

I'm playing along here today ....join in!

  1. Color ... Color everwhere!! I love it as it is so nice after a l-o-n-g winter!!
    I think the ballerina is needlepoint. It looks like it may have been from the 60's or 70's but I am certainly no expert. At any rate she is lovely!!

  27. Heidi - I just so enjoy your blog; have been thinking of you. Met up for a BD gathering yesterday and saw Amanda (one of your other friends) - she is such a lovely person. We reminisced about the "Mad Men" party! LOL - Hugs from further north (what a few miles). Call when you can for a get together again. I have a "lacebook" for a week that you would enjoy looking at.
