Old Fashion Roses & Flowers

I am going to go and buy some of these old fashion Roses & Flowers
They are so sweet and we have a place close to me that
has such a lovely garden of them for sell. They grow
all kinds of old bushes and flowers. I just love it in the
Springtime and Fall it is so full of flowers too...

FALL is coming and already there in some places

This is last years pictures, but I am so ready for FALL
and cooler weather! Texas has been super HOT this
Summer! I can not wait until I see the first leaves
changing colors. I love the Fall of the year! I love the
wintertime too!

A Rainbow

This is beautiful art of God
If you look at it you can see it was a doubled Rainbow
It was awsome to seen and a full bow at that!
Right after a spring rain

Some fun with the Art of Mixed Media and Assemblages

This is one of kind hang tag art....
It is a sweet mother and daughter hang tag
That I have added to another one I cut out like a dress form
added stain of dark ink, old song scrap, vintage button,
scrapbook flower, pink crepe paper for ruffle, and some
Pink beads....and then add a touch of giltter.....

or I can hang it on the wall.....

I have had this paper for along time...I wish I had gotten

more rolls of it...It is super cute to cut the chickens out

For some cute artwork.....I added all this to a dark frame

that had the black and white checker blocks and the

stripes of red and white....My daughter loves chickens

and she took this home with her.....

This is a vintage sewing basket that I have added some

Vintage sewing treasures to it.....

on with pearl pins...so they can be removed

if needed to change the look.....I find these pins works

well in my fun artwork........

The word Antiques fits this Collage Assemblage...

MADE BY WORKING VERY HARD...........

I LOVE THE OLD HISTORY OF YESTERDAY

WE HAVE IN THIS DAY AND TIME.....

LET US NEVER FORGET THE HARD WORK

OF MANY HARD WORKING PEOPLE

THAT MADE THIS COUNTRY A HOME

I AM SO THANKFUL TO GOD......................

FOR THE MEMORIES OF YESTERDAY

EVEN IF IT'S JUST IN PICTURES...IT IS A REMINDER

OF HOW BLESS WE READY ARE...ENJOY THE DAYS OF

LONG A GO...AND ENJOY YOUR TODAYS AND MAKE

A WONDERFUL MEMORY........

House Work is Never Done...it Just Begun....

Long ago the Ladies not only had to cook and clean
They had to make the warm quilts for there families
To stay warm and most of the quilting was made by
hand....in today's times quilting is mostly a hobby, a craft,
and known as Vintage Art with all their lovely patterns...
They used of days of long ago......Some of their quilts took
Grand First Place Blue Ribbons at the County Fairs.....

















Do you still iron?....
I remember when ironing was a
very important part of housework...

























Some ladies ironed to make extra money...
Note the ladies all wore dresses back then..
I never saw my mother in a pair of pants
She had house dresses with aprons
Then she had nice dresses for going shopping
Then there was her Sunday Dresses
With lovely matching hats....
The times have sure change in 50 years...





















Hanging clothes out on the clothes line
That is before the house dryers....
Hanging clothes was a time to get know your neighbor
Funny how I remember it was so important to have
All the white clothes looking so fresh and clean
No clothes lines are seen much at homes but...
There was a time long ago no home was without one...



















Never a saying so true was this one
I can't say that all the cleaning
will get ever get done
but I know it has just begun!

Spring! Spring! Spring!
