lovely mail at the best of times

I had been feeling all sorts of uber icky and she knew like she always does. Not pictured was the immediately devoured bag of poppycock that spun me into an obsessive week of poppycock because it is that good..We're gonna be awesome old ladies together.

it was just like christmas

 my sister sent me a very large box full of vintage goodness. she was clearing out her space and knows me well enough to know that i am just the person to enjoy a motely crew of vintage odds and ends.

 

it was like the best christmas morning ever!

only better!

here is a smidge of a smidge of what was in the box. man, Oklahoma has good finds (it helps that my sis has an excellent eye and an inborn compulsion to shop. i think we got that from our mother)! 

A joyful jar

I was the first in line for the Jar O' Joy and Wow! Wow! Wow! Did ms.mel pack it full or what? I've just finished filling the jar for the next person and I only hope it pleases her since I know nothing about her! I had fun and it isn't as jam packed as it was when I got it but there's a little bit of kitsch and a wee bit o' pretty so I hope she gets a kick outta it.

Today is a gorgeous gorgeous day and I have all the windows open and did a wee bit o' cleaning, a tiny bit o' baking and a whole lotta picture uploading. Phew! The husbandman & I had a pretty good anniversary outing and I took a zillion pictures. Sadly, the mavica is really losing its oomph and our jumping pictures are not as clear as I would like. I need to get some more goodies into the shop because soon, I won't have a camera anymore. Feel free to donate to this worthy cause...I won't mind, really! :)

Ooh! I forgot to add that I saw a falcon this morning in the pine tree just outside my window! So cool!

Time for some movie watching. We've got the Gidget collection and Eating Raoul.
