Angels on my mind...

I have no more Snow,
 not a fancy room to share,
and Flowers have yet to bloom.
But I send to you on this lovely White Wednesday,
 a sweet Angel I made some time ago.


One of my most favorite I've ever made.
She resides at a dear friends home now.
She is a bit Shabby, but sweet.
I used her in one of my first Blog post.
I simply love to look back every once in a while.
Here is another...

On a not so ligher note, if I may...
I'm thinking of Angels for a good reason today.
 I grew up In Huntington Beach, California and
this sweet girl was my dear friend in the 6th grade,
we were school mates and we played and laughed together.
 Her name is Robin Samsoe.
She was taken senselessly & tragically
 from her family and friends so many years ago.
more of the story
 Yesterday Robin finally may have gotten the peace and some Justice she deserved so many years ago. 
And I hope now her family can get some peace.
 I just wanted to Honor her memory with this mention today.

Have a Blessed Day all.

Vintage On Main...

for White Wednesday,
is a little shop just a few towns over from mine in Amherst, VA.
And what a sweet shop it is.
And the owner, Vicki Hill couldn't be sweeter.
It takes me back in time with all it's Vintage goodness.
Being cooped up so long from the snow,
(happy to say, it's all melted away,
and what we got last night is gone again this sunny morning.)
it was so good to get out last
Saturday on a most beautiful Sunny day
for a little Vintage shopping.
And White Wednesday was on my mind when I started snapping pictures.

Snow In Sepia...


and the promise of Spring.

This Snow is just so beautiful to me.

And I really don't want to say goodbye to it just yet.

The ground is still covered, Winter is still settled in.
But I am awaiting Spring as if it is Christmas Morning I 
am waiting for.
Working on Spring treasures for the local shops
while a half dressed snowman still lays on my work table, smiling at me & quite sure of himself.
Fresh Flowers all around helps to make the wait a bit easier and lets me now Spring will keep its Promise.
So I will... I will wait...and I will dream of the first
blooms to pop from the snow covered ground...
~Sigh~

Happy Valentines Day...

There is nothing holier, in this life of ours,
than the first consciousness of love ~ the first flutttering of its silken wings.

Corbels, Brackets & Moldings...


and a Door, oh my.

I've collected them for years to use as Wings for my Angels.
Now, scattered about the house these Beautiful Architectural finds have never ending possibilities.
I've gathered them up to share with you for
White Wednesday.
stands out...

over a door...



over a window...

displaying collections
of ironstone...

and clocks.


to hang your hat...


whatever for...


a stately piece, to make a statement...


a holder...


angel wings perhaps...

can't decide.


what building did this come off of...


who painted this porch...


curls...



& swirls...


a shelf...


like art...


perhaps just to adore...
