Rainy day Wednesday

     Good afternoon, it's been light raining this morning..  It was rather nice to wake up to it...    I spent

The whole day cleaning my bedroom...    That Spring time cleaning...    Then I thought Autumn is also a great time to flip everything upside down and around clean the windows window sills behind and under the bed...    So I did just that I didn't finish though I'm a little slow these days...    I was going to finish today but Vee wanted to was clothes at mamas house...    So we are here and i'm posting...    I have finally found a way to post on my I-pad without everything floating around...    Lol.  So the last few post I-pad them...    The first one I wrote many mis-spelled words...    And i Couldn't correct them it was to hard...    So I have to be careful in my spelling because I'd have to wait to come to mamas to correct...    But I'm so happy I got some over pass due cleaning done...    It felt good to sleep in my room...    

      I cleaned from top to bottom... 

      It's always nice when things are super clean it feels good...   

      My most favorite tea set...   Mama bought this for me one day online...    I had admired it...    And she said lets buy it...    

      So we did...   And when it arrived we were both in awe...    It was more beautiful in person...    

      The Roses are amazing...   They are hand painted and  just beautiful...    

      The sweet sugar bowl...    I never was able to purchase a matching cup, but maybe one day...    They are a little expensive...

      The sweet creamer...    I have loved them ever since Mama bought them for me...    Today I woke up missing her a lot...    So much has changed since she left us...

      This stays on my dresser in my bedroom...    I see it every day, it's beauty and my love for it reminds me of mama...

      Yesterday I cleaned it all up and placed it back where she stays...

      All together now, nice and clean in a clean spot...    I have also never used her...    I wanted to have tea with mama as we had in the pass, but I never got the opportunity...    And for now I don't feel much need to use her so I will leave her for now...    Maybe when we move to the new house, maybe idk, will see...

                                      For now 

                                           HAPPY WEDNESDAY

                                                  WITH LOVE

                                                      JANICE 

Good morning

      So good morning Blog land...    I think I'm quite ready for this nice day...    And quite ready to clean up my Living Room...   I have spent the night at Mama's house which I haven't done in some time...    These days my roll away bed is busy with my Grandson in it...    But not last night...    Yay 

      We came to visit yesterday, Me, vee and the boys...    Then later after dinner I didn't feel much like driving home.  So we stayed...    It was rather nice to hang out...    But I'm ready for home bound....I have a bunch of things running about in my head that I want to do at home today... Not sure what I will get done but the main thing is the Living Rm...    I did managed to get the front door curtains changed.. Yay Janice

      Lol doing good maybe I'm on a roll...

      I feel like Pink today...     I love both my Hall Teapots... they are in mint condition these too.. The top one reminds me of 50's style and the lower reminds me of Victorian style which It was a series of I believe six pots...    There was another one but I haven't been able to locate it at all any where's...   I have two others a pretty blue and a vintage green in different styles... Maybe one day...    You just never know what you will come across online.. 

     This is my old time vase that was found years ago... From Dad's truck...It's also in perfect condition...

   I had a clear old tall pink glass vase, but it had gotten broken the last move so I had to throw it out sadly...

      Sweet photo frames...found at Saver's with Mama... 

     Just Pink that's all...

I love Autumn but I think I will make my Living Rm, Pinks and Beige...

I also wanted to show you photos of my homemade Bread it looks so

Beautiful...

      Forever I wanted to make twisted bread but for some reason I never got around to it...   But finally I did it Yay Janice...

      It taste great too....

      Well what do you think...    Did I do a good job...

Okay well we are ready to go home...     So be back so Have a wonderful weekend 

                  with love

A loVe Affair, True Romance

      I'm totally in Love...    Do you know who with my dreams are...    I imagine beauty and Love 

And great happiness...    A fairy tale dream...    About five years ago I first saw them...    They

Captured my heart from hello...    And ever since I've dream of finding them...

      The beauty of them amaze me...    It's like they popped right out of Spring...    Like a breath of fresh air...    I dream of long ago...    A beautiful table, A beautiful lace table cloth under and these breaths of fresh airs all about...    Me in my lovely attire lace all underneath and lace around my neck my lace gloves fancy hat and shoes...    

      Meet me and will have tea...    Don't forget your lace umbrella the sun it out...

      If there ever was a set of dishes that I would have to give up it truly would not be these...    I love them from my heart, there's something about them that capture me...    They warm my heart, make me feel good inside...    It's really true the first time I saw them I was in love... And the search has been about five years.  I once saw a few pieces at at Good-will here in San Francisco but they were not in Good condition so I left them behind and honestly my heart ached till now...    I know I have breifly posted them before...    But since then I have found two tea cups with saucers and this past week Three dinner plates...    They are in perfect condition...    I had only wished there was one more...

      The two sweet tea cups and saucers...Though the dinner plates do not have the 

Aqua trim they are just as beautiful.... 

      Just beautiful blooms everywhere...

      Beauty indeed...

     Windsor ware, Johnson Bros...

      These will be awaiting Spring in the Garden...    I wish Mama's house was done...    If

You only knew the day dreams in my head and all the visions that I have...

      O my I truly can't to have a quite tea with these some where in time...    Maybe in a quite corner some where...    Maybe early morning tea in the Living Rm...  Or in the back corner in my Garden...

      But I think i would much perfer to have it in Mama's Garden all fixed with beautiful Roses about of every   color...    Blue bells...    Daffodils...    Marigolds...    Daisy's...    Wisteria hanging over my head...    The birds singing about...    The humming birds flying by and stopping to greet me for a brief moment...    One day in time it shall be...    

Thank you everyone for your lovely visit and sweet enjoyable comments...   I hold them all dear to my heart...    Blogging has kept me alive gave me hope...    Your encouraging words have made me go on to the unknow future...    And helped me realize I can make a dream come true...    It might not be all of the dream but I can make some things happen if I push...    And not give up...    Thank you again...

                                   With love

                                          Janice

A note

      As I a woke this morning I wondered will it all be okay.  Will mama's house ever become my home.  The home I have dreamed it to be.  It seems like such a far fetched thing, un real almost in my mind .. I still haven't cleaned my living room.  The days have been so desperately hot can breathe hot.  Not my favorite time to clean..  But I was thinking after I went into the garden I would start in a just do it on the slow motion... I decided even thought it was warm I was going to have my hot tea this morning to start  my morning off right...   I usually drink Lipton's decaf most mornings, but this morning I felt to have something different.. So I went into the back little shed house where I keep some extras..   I was actually looking for some Blueberry tea that I tried from Celeste that I really liked.  But I picked up the wrong box and when I came inside it said mixed berry, so I thought hum okay lets try it.   My water had already started boiling and was quite ready...

     The color that came was quite pretty, then it deepened into this deep reddish ... 

I came into the living room which I usually do.. Sat down and my mind stared thinking Of Mama and the house and if it was really doing to be a reality...   Seems God only knows the answer...  

                    I have only been over whelmed from day one of Mama's passing.. 

     This is such a lovely tea cup.  It's the first time that I have used it...   Pretty Rose and sweet Bluebell's..  Perfect for the last day of Summer...    It's Staffordshire,England...    Called England's

                                                          Bouquet...  Perfect name...    

         Sweet indeed...   

         The Saucer just as equally pretty...

        What more could an older lady want,  a quite morning with Berry tea an old Victoria magazine

And her little Dogie Sweetpea curled up next to her...    Victoria magazine has always been so Romantic exciting and all the above to me...    When I first picked it up I believe I was pregnant with my last daughter, who happens to be named Victoria... And I've never put it down since...

                                 

        This is an older one March 1994, the year my Victoria was born... Such a lovely cover...

                                                          " Come To England"

   Wish I could, I imagine it at times to travel...    But it's Never been anything more than a day dream.         That was never going to happen raising five children pretty much on my own...    

                                                          "Beautiful Roses"

     Good bye Summer...    My favorite season will arrive in a couple of days...   Yay Autumn

            " A Place to Call Home ". I have always for along time had dreams of a wall paper room, there's something about it that really speaks cozy home to me...  My daughter has says yes but, then you can't change decor later Yes you can...    You just have to figure it out maybe a natural color...

     I know I just want wall paper old fashioned wall paper...   I think since I bought Blue and White for my bedroom at Mama's that's what it will be... 

       It just feels right...   Dreams can come true,  i just know it...    

      I dream so many things but now that I will be turning 58 Soon, I'm so tired out now and i mean 

Tired.  With not to much energy...    My mind says yes but my body says I don't  think so...

I wanted to make a private Tea Room and bake my heart away, but I'm not sure that can happen...

      So I think for now it will have to stay on dream mode...

      This magazine has a,ways helped me to get away and dream...   Be in another world of my own. 

It helped mold me into the inner Victorian woman inside me...    Helped me to escape the evils of this world when needed.. I do give much large credit to God...    But this saved a lot of moments...

                                                           Tea and Victoria...

       A pretty lovely pillow cover found at the thrift store... I love the beautiful Roses...

      Can you imagine all the work that went into this...    Hours and hours...     The results are amazing...

      This large doily I made months back... I need to block it but I haven't yet but today might be a good day to do so...    I still have the cardboard I saved it...    I have this one and one Yellow and White

      Thank you for joining me for morning tea and thoughts...    I wish you a lovely day and a fantastic new week...    Hopefully by the next time we chat I will have gotten my living room cleaned and ready for Autumn... 

     With love,

Janice
