I have missed joining you for pink Saturday. Just haven't been on the puter much this year. Have got back to painting and crafting some in the last few months. Going to share a beautiful tea service I painted and sold in a local shop here in Tenn. I have painted so many of these over the years but they have all been different designs and I love the way they turn out. Hope you enjoy. <br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/TFOQXiUkLoI/AAAAAAAABhs/xUZefBWOJ38/s1600/jm42010b.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/TFOQXiUkLoI/AAAAAAAABhs/xUZefBWOJ38/s400/jm42010b.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499898303973961346" /></a><br /><br />There are so many yard sales, estate sales and auctions here and I am in seventh heaven with them all. I love the hunt. Serving dishes are one of my great weakness. So hard to pass one up. This is two sweet designs I found lately. Both are china, One Austria and one Limoges. Aren't they awesome. <br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/TFOQXg247nI/AAAAAAAABhk/0-8voBKSoSU/s1600/DSC00513.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/TFOQXg247nI/AAAAAAAABhk/0-8voBKSoSU/s400/DSC00513.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499898303581056626" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/TFOQXKBuwHI/AAAAAAAABhc/iEiIqWvR-4o/s1600/tea+set.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/TFOQXKBuwHI/AAAAAAAABhc/iEiIqWvR-4o/s400/tea+set.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499898297452511346" /></a><br /><br />Be sure you skip on over to Bevs place and visit all the beautiful blogs who are with us today.

If you have never visited the show, you should really make plans to do so. It has been going on for well over 35 years. Held 10 days in July and 18 days in October. We have been working this show for over 25 years. We did set out last year due to family changes, Wasn't sure I would work it again but as much as I love to paint and Create I had to get back to work. Has been a real challenge getting things to work with moved from West Virginia. We even had one of our storage buildings moved last month. Leaving a 3000 sq. foot home and moving into a 16' wide mobile home has also left me trying to figure out a place to paint. But I have managed. The Next show will open on October 6 at the Gatlinburg Convention Center. Come visit us. This was my booth this year.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/TFHWj3lpXQI/AAAAAAAABhA/F0igYQLESQg/s1600/gatlinburg+10.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/TFHWj3lpXQI/AAAAAAAABhA/F0igYQLESQg/s400/gatlinburg+10.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499412531701701890" /></a><br /><br /><br />I also met a wonderful lady who runs a shabby chic shop in the Dumplin Valley Flea market here in Tenn. Just off of exit 407 on interstate 40. Piegon Forge, Sevierville Exit. She has been in the market for about 14 years and has a beautiful shop. I have been selling with her since the first of the year. If you are visiting the mountains be sure you stop in for a visit.<br /><br />I am listing again on Etsy, Be sure you take a look at all the new beauties. Have been working on some very beautiful teacup wreath. This is one you will find on Etsy.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/TFHZf5JYy-I/AAAAAAAABhI/roUxLDHqU5Y/s1600/wreath+D.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/TFHZf5JYy-I/AAAAAAAABhI/roUxLDHqU5Y/s400/wreath+D.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499415761935453154" /></a><br /><br />Have been away from my blog for so long and with all the changes I have had to take the time to learn again.

With all the changes in our life I have just not been on the puter very much. Our new baby was on the way then. She was born on November 24 and is Morgan Paige Elaine Mullins. Elaine is in honor of my daughter and her aunt. She is now 8 months old and a joy for our life. A life ends and a new one begins. Our grand children have been the saving grace for both Darrell and I over the past year and a half. Not a day passes without my sweet daughter on my mind. Miranda is turning into a beautiful and wonderful young lady. She will be a junior this year. Will share a couple pictures with you. <br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/TFDyenGKmII/AAAAAAAABgY/T8OR-49voI4/s1600/morgan+001+-+Copy.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/TFDyenGKmII/AAAAAAAABgY/T8OR-49voI4/s400/morgan+001+-+Copy.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499161752724215938" /></a><br /><br />this one is Morgan at birth and the next one is now, just taken tonight when I baby sit for Mom and Dad to see a movie.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/TFDy8T1C7yI/AAAAAAAABgg/NwtoT32UbAQ/s1600/morgan.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/TFDy8T1C7yI/AAAAAAAABgg/NwtoT32UbAQ/s400/morgan.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499162262948212514" /></a><br /><br /><br />This is Madison the big sister who will be 5 in a few months, and she is a wonderful big sister. <br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/TFD1O5KMEkI/AAAAAAAABgo/4g1g7mO31Ak/s1600/mattie.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/TFD1O5KMEkI/AAAAAAAABgo/4g1g7mO31Ak/s400/mattie.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499164781229904450" /></a><br /><br />This one is Miranda who will be 17 in a few months.

She was a black cat for Halloween and I must say a beautiful one. She and her Mom and Dad had big plans to celebrate with trick or treating and Boo at the Zoo but Mother nature did not cooperate and it came a down pour that lasted the evening and most of the night.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#993399;">She still had a great time.</span></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/Sv4Y0MNPCVI/AAAAAAAABbs/eZnHEKJvEW8/s1600-h/madison+001+-+Copy.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403783887800174930" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/Sv4Y0MNPCVI/AAAAAAAABbs/eZnHEKJvEW8/s400/madison+001+-+Copy.JPG" /></a><span style="color:#993399;"> We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of her baby sister. As per this weeks doctor visit he says probably on the 22 of this month. Guess we will have a thanksgiving baby. Madison is so excited for her arrival. Her name will be Morgan Page Elaine Mullins. She will have the third name in honor of her Aunt Stacey, my daughter who we lost earlier this year. Time goes by so fast. She has been gone for 8 months now. God takes one life and sends another, We found out just a couple weeks after Stacey passed that Morgan was on the way. She will be her guardian angel. Give your children an extra hug and kiss this evening as you do not know how many more days you will have together. I know in my heart she is in a better place and We will all see each other again someday. Miranda also had planned a big</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#993399;"> party for Halloween which also got rained out. <br /></span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/Sv4Y0MK0iEI/AAAAAAAABbk/bMeVVb68x9M/s1600-h/madison+011.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403783887790049346" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/Sv4Y0MK0iEI/AAAAAAAABbk/bMeVVb68x9M/s400/madison+011.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/Sv4Yz40tmkI/AAAAAAAABbc/Qcpx2pM75HU/s1600-h/madison+004.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403783882597046850" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/Sv4Yz40tmkI/AAAAAAAABbc/Qcpx2pM75HU/s400/madison+004.JPG" /></a><span style="color:#993399;"> We will let you know when she arrives.</span></div><div><span style="color:#993399;">God Bless.</span></div><div><span style="color:#993399;">Judy<br /></span><br /><br /></div><div></div><br /></div>Vintage To Chichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09299084985565325921noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159047664331722915.post-64068515527724152722009-11-07T07:21:00.000-05:002009-11-07T07:21:00.348-05:00Pink Saturday<span style="color:#993399;">Good Morning and Welcome to Pink Saturday, </span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"> I am sure when Bev started this she nor any of us thought it would grow to what it has, It is hard for me to find the time to visit all who participate as I am sure it is just as hard for you.

With all the changes in our life this year it has just got pushed to the back burner, Family is the most important thing in my life. Miranda started school in August in her Sophomore year and after just 4 days in school she came down with Mono. This was my first experience with Mono and like nothing I have ever seen, It littlerly wiped out her energy and she was vomiting a lot. The doctor said there are no meds for this just has to run its course and to let her rest as much as she wanted. They set her up to be home schooled so she would not get behind in her classes, She was out for about 5 weeks. Is back to school now but will take months for her energy level to get back to normal.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#993399;"></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="color:#993399;">The weather here is gorgeous today, Is in the 30ies of the morning but getting up in the 70ies of the day and we have snow on the mountain tops.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#993399;"></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="color:#993399;">The great thing about living here in Tenn. is all the Estate sales we have. Watch for some great merchandise to be added to my web site and to Etsy.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#993399;"></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="color:#993399;">This week I came across a lady who does the most amazing gel candles, They fill your kitchen with the aroma of fresh baked cakes and pies.

She is our granddaughter from our son Joseph and his wife Michelle.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#993399;">She along with Miranda are the joy in our life.

I have a hard time telling a volkswagon from a Cadillac. LOL! We had a car show in town, Pigeon Forge, Tenn., last weekend. Called Shades of the past. You could see every kind of car you can imagine. Isn't if funny how cars bring back a specific memory from our past. Years ago, there were not many car companies so you could tell which one you were looking by just a glance, except me of course, now there are so many different companies, they just all look alike. </span></div><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/SrKaxnr7PKI/AAAAAAAABXw/VhVHsA3rC-s/s1600-h/cars+070.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382534681918651554" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/SrKaxnr7PKI/AAAAAAAABXw/VhVHsA3rC-s/s400/cars+070.JPG" /></a><span style="color:#993399;"> These are a few of the others we saw.

I came across a booth on the outside of the building with some of the most beautiful pieces I had seem at a flea market in some time and so low priced I could not believe it.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#993399;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#993399;">Needles to say I began to shop, The lady was a very small elderly Italian lady, She I began to talk as I made my purchases, She told me her husband had cancer and she was clearing out a lot of her house for the extra money, most of her items had come from Italy with them many many years ago. It was so sad to hear her story. I purchased 8 or 10 items from her, This beautiful vase is marked on the bottom and has Italy on it. I bought it because I loved it. Sits in a perfect spot on the mantel. I think I paid $10.00 if I remember correctly. Perfect for Pink Saturday.</span></div><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/SpXLz58XEqI/AAAAAAAABUA/s9zqTQ1NzkE/s1600-h/aug+23+008.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374425822924313250" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/SpXLz58XEqI/AAAAAAAABUA/s9zqTQ1NzkE/s400/aug+23+008.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/SpXLzdcT_BI/AAAAAAAABT4/E4bR_JecDuU/s1600-h/aug+23+009.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374425815273700370" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/SpXLzdcT_BI/AAAAAAAABT4/E4bR_JecDuU/s400/aug+23+009.JPG" /></a><br /><span style="color:#993399;">Be sure you take a ride over to Beverly's blog and check out of the pink goodness today.

He comes with a story which makes him so special. My Mom, Leona who raised 7 children in our family was always so busy raising kids when we were growing up that she never had much time to do things for herself. She came from a family of 8 girls and some of them are very gifted in sewing and other hand work but Mom never had these gifts. We always teased that her gift was raising children. She was a great Mom. In the late 70ies I opened a Craft supply shop. I have enjoyed craft work most of my adult life. Since all her children were grown and she had a little time for herself she started to become involved in some of the craft classes we were having in the shop. I loved having her involved and had her join us many time. She went to a painting class with me for a year and a half.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#663366;">We decided to take a class in Ceramic painting in the early 80ies and this beautiful rooster was one of her projects, When she passed away in 1993 he became mine and is one of my most treasured items. He is so colorful and really struts his stuff. He is a decoration in my kitchen. </span></div><span style="color:#663366;"></span><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/SpU90DmKlqI/AAAAAAAABTw/GtVwDH37zew/s1600-h/aug+23+002.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374269694864430754" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/SpU90DmKlqI/AAAAAAAABTw/GtVwDH37zew/s400/aug+23+002.JPG" /></a><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/SpU9zk20uEI/AAAAAAAABTo/OtlEdDYs5gg/s1600-h/aug+23+004.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374269686612801602" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/SpU9zk20uEI/AAAAAAAABTo/OtlEdDYs5gg/s400/aug+23+004.JPG" /></a> <span style="color:#663366;">This little guy also sits on the bakers rack in my kitchen, I have had him for a few years, I try to keep something written on the slate but don't always succeed.<br /></span><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/SpU9zAybLvI/AAAAAAAABTg/sBhYy_VXLoE/s1600-h/aug+23+006.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374269676930674418" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/SpU9zAybLvI/AAAAAAAABTg/sBhYy_VXLoE/s400/aug+23+006.JPG" /></a><br /><span style="color:#663366;">These two sit on a shelf in my kitchen also.<br /></span><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/SpU9yWaqlDI/AAAAAAAABTY/_8tmJyJwvKg/s1600-h/aug+23+007.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374269665556730930" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/SpU9yWaqlDI/AAAAAAAABTY/_8tmJyJwvKg/s400/aug+23+007.JPG" /></a><span style="color:#663366;"> These are a few of the roosters I have in my home.

No, He was at the right house and I got a surprise package from a wonderful lady who has become a great friend. "Steph of Angelic Accents" We met about a year ago when I joined a great group of ladies through a chat group on Ebay. Steph was so sweet to send me a beautiful poem in remembrance of my Daughter. Of course I cried the rest of the day as it is all so true. Some days are so hard to get through and you can never know the pain of loosing a child unless you have been there.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#993399;"></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="color:#993399;">Steph has shown me the kindness in her heart, It always amazes me how you can become a friend with someone you have never met and how we are all so much alike in so many ways.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#993399;">I thank you sweet friend.</span></div><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/SoweLakqJVI/AAAAAAAABSQ/-PsaJxeQnzE/s1600-h/002.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371701637006632274" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/SoweLakqJVI/AAAAAAAABSQ/-PsaJxeQnzE/s400/002.JPG" /></a><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/SoweK2mprZI/AAAAAAAABSI/maoBHr1TYLA/s1600-h/003.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371701627351313810" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2pEBfMYvKrg/SoweK2mprZI/AAAAAAAABSI/maoBHr1TYLA/s400/003.JPG" /></a><br /><span style="color:#993399;">Stacey now lives in our heart and I love talking about and sharing all the good times we had with family and friends, Stacey was a wonderful person, Mom and friend.

Found a program to do the collage that works for me. </span></div><span style="color:#993399;">I can remember years ago when I decided to learn the puter. It was in the 80ies when the program was Dos. I purchased a puter for my business and for my children, I cleared the hard drive 3 0r 4 times trying to learn. Would have to go back into Radio Shack and have them to reinstall it. I gave up, but my son did learn, of course children always do. </span><br /><br /><span style="color:#993399;">Then some years later when windows 98 came out I purchased another one and haven't stopped since. I am truly amazed at what this old lady has learned. Everything I would want to learn I would call my son, who was in college at the time and he would talk me through what I wanted to do. We spent many late night hours on the phone learning. Now I can usually figure it out but sometimes it takes me a while.</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#993399;">This is my first collage and I love it so I will be making many many more.</span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">This is a shelf in the end of my kitchen that houses some of my cup and saucer collection. Yes! another collection.</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#993399;">I am so luck my hubby, Darrell is a wonderful woodworker, I can just tell him what I am thinking of and he will make it for me. I had about 8" of space at the end of a cabinet where my oven is, He put the shelf there for me. I painted a design of blackberries down the side. Along with the cups I have a small collection of crystal salt and pepper shakes. </span><br /><div align="center"><br /><br /><span style="color:#993399;">Hope you enjoy.</span></div><div align="center"><br /><span style="color:#663366;"><strong>BE SURE YOU DON'T FORGET TO SIGN UP FOR MY GIVE AWAY, AND SPREAD THE WORD.
