Andy's Attic Downsized

This is the "old" location inside
Uncovered Ruby. 

This is my new, smaller space,
in a different room.

What is amazing to me......

is that I didn't really take home that much
"stuff",

and I still have more room to fill.

So, excuse me while I go price some things.

Until next time,  be safe and happy,

Annette

The Year Ahead

Pictures for this post are random

I am not usually one to make resolutions
for a new year.  This year I have been
thinking about things I want to do,
and things I want to change.

I wonder whatever happened to that daredevil

young woman I was.  The one who drove across

the US alone, who raced her sports car, who flew

a plane all by herself.

Did she become more cautious as she
got older?  I know she is not more afraid.
Maybe now I am more confident in me,
not needing to "prove" that I can do
anything I want to, because I know I can.



My Munchy

This year I want to spend more time
with the people I care about and the
people I want to get to know.  I have downsized my space
at Uncovered Ruby and will be at the Plucky Maidens
Show in April in Portland.  I am reducing everyday
concerns and trying to challenge myself.
At 63 I just want to be me.  Take it or leave it.
I am blessed with a wonderful husband, and
friends and family who love me.

I am a lucky girl!  (but I do miss racing
the car, always loved it)

The little chruch is from my childhood.

A Cup of Christmas Tea

Last week I went to a tiny tea for three.

My friend Mary Jo (Faded Rosie) had the tea,
with a table beautifully set.  Note the
candle clipped on the plate.

We began with  some bubbly and a lovely salad.

There were many yummy little dishes to temp us.
All made by Mary Jo.

There is no picture of the scones she made, but
they were the best I have ever had!!



My friend Sue took these pictures.  For some
reason I am not prone to remember to bring my
camera.

At the end of our tea Mary Jo read a very sweet little
book called "A Cup of Christmas Tea"

It was a great little interlude during all this hustle and bustle!

Thank you Mary Jo

Weekend find

I found this bowl of Santa heads.

Why would I want a bowl
of red and white Santa heads? 

Because I am doing a RED and
WHITE Christmas!

Thanksgiving

(Graphics Fairy)


Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving.
I hope you are safe in your travels and can
put up with that crazy relative for this one
day.  We all have much to be thankful for so
let's not forget the purpose of the day.
