From the Dusty Corners

I thought I would just show you some of the "little" things in my house.

It's these little things that make me feel warm.

It never seems to be big things that get me going.



This is a jar full of goodies from my sweet friend, Jen.
She gave this to me when her and her hubby came for dinner one night.
I really need to invite them over more often.
Now, when they invite us over how in the world am I even going to give them something comparable.
This is just soooooo cute.
( I didn't even show the darling pillow she also gave me. Sheesh....she's good)
Let's also not forget that she was just published in Country Living Magazine.
I told you she was good!



Just a shelf with a little corner of cute.


I just adore this little jar filled with vintage shredded paper.
It was suppose to go in my shop.
I just couldn't part with it.


Has anyone else noticed how cute the match boxed are these days.
I seem to pick them up everywhere.
I feel a new collection coming on.
How cute would they all be thrown into a BIG apothecary jar?


Well, there ya have it.

Happy Weekend!!!

seeing these watches reminds me of the old pocketwatch my grandma gave me. It was my grandpa's and I treasure it very much. I love the fact that he used to keep it close to his side and it makes me feel closer to him and miss him. Perhaps I'll get it out now and display it under a cloche like you did.

Thanks for a great remembrance for me.
