Break time...

    Helo everyone, I feel like it's time to take a short break from blogging.  I have been here now for several years and all of a sudden I feel like why do I do this this I barely hear from people I get a lot of views but barely comments don't get me wrong I love to hear from the people that I do.  I think it's  just me at the moment I feel maybe I need to sort out some things.  It's been a long road with my moms passing then her best friend leaving the mess she left me in and so much more...  So if you don't mind I'm going to take a short break..   It won't be long so have a wonderful rest of the week be back soon with love Janice 

             

    

   

Those Blues...

M,Well helo everyone, good almost afternoon...    I had such a lovely surprise a few days back...    My daughter in law surprised me with some lovely plates and a pretty table cloth and napkins to match...   My son brought them on Saturday...    O and I almost forgot some glass balls, always wanted some but I never got around to getting any...

      You can see they are The Spode Blue Room Collection...    The funny thing was that a week before I had found one of these very plates at Goodwill with my daughter for four dollars...    I thought it was so pretty I looked on line and found them like between ten and I think fifteen to twenty dollars so I thought well that's going on hold I haven't any extra money like that now...

       Here is the front side on the one that I found The Castle...    The four she gave me has one castle one as well...    So very nice of my daughter in law Ana to think of me...    Thank you Ana❤️

      The pretty glass balls...

      The duck bust I have had for about ten years she has been all over the place...

       Another scene....   

      My little teapot creamer sugar goes well...

      Here are the pretty napkins the table cloth has this plus more design on it very pretty and all like new, almost like it was never used...    She found this and a bunch more things for herself...    I was told that the woman gave this to her she had asked her about it and since it was a gift for me the woman gave it to her...    So very kind so I want to thank her for her kindness as well...    It surely brighten my heart...    

      This is the beuatiful table cloth, which I did not put on yet I decided that I will...    I think it will make the table pop more...

      So pretty ...

      Tea cups all ready for teatime...

     The other plates...

      Well it's the week of Thanksgiving, which I no longer celebrate...    I believe you should thank God every single day that you arise to the gift of life that he has givin to us...    The special things that you can do for him is by doing his will, applying it, sharing it, and following in his only begotten sons foot steps...   It is what he ask of us to have total faith and trust in him with all our hearts...    And I believe we should be thankful for all we have all the time...    So since this decision my children since they are all available will be having a family dinner celebrating nothing but the gift of family and life it self...    Whatever you are doing I hope you have a wonderful loving new week...    Blessings my fellow bloggers...

                With love...

Ps..... Tablecloth....

See you soon.......

It's Friday Already

     Wow, I just don't know where the days are going to the weekend comes and poof it's Monday Thursday then Friday already...   Boy days are just flying by...  Well I only did just a little bit in my living room so I'm still not finished but today It was so lovely out in the Garden I pretty much clened it all up...  It was in great need...  Leaves everywhere wet leaves dry leaves just leaves everywhere.  I found a few little flowers still shinning 

      I love  Pansy's so much whatever their color may be ... 

It's starnge to see the Garden go to sleep...  I cut back many of the plants that I have...

      Much cleaner, I should have took a before picture, it was a mess from the  rain and wind...

I planted a big huge chayote is It's a vegetable like squash in a sense ... Latin people use it a lot...  My neighbor Tita who taught me how make the Guatemalan tamales has a tree in her Garden it grows like a vine...  

                            

     This is what they look like some have these stickers and some don't the ones they sell in the store don't...  For some odd reason the home planted ones a lot of the time come like this i got them a couple days ago and they were sitting in a plastic shopping bag and when I looked this one was really big with these roots sprouting so I thought I will try I had one many years  ago, will see ...

      Surprisingly, my egg plants are still growing the back one has two egg plants on it the fron one is taller with nothing ...   Im going to leave them hopefully they will get bigger this dirt is so poor they are taken forever it seems like ...

A quite Wednesday...

I awoke this morning to the most quite of houses...   To my very surprise the house was empty and I sleep late which rarely happens in my life...  It was strange but nice...   Lol I almost didn't know what to do...  I'm still cleaning and re organizing the living room I'm near done last night I was going through some magazines and start thumbing through some Victoria ones...  

           

      Some of the most prettiest covers indeed then open them up and more delightful beauty...

           

      Like this one, I love the cover of it...

           

      Full of beautiful pages of Flowers...

           

      Who doesn't love Lavender...

           

           

And lovely Roses, I hope I can fill Mama's garden full of Roses...

          

More sweet flowers...

           

          

One of my favorites, hydrangeas... 

           

Another lovely issue...

            

I love silvers pots one day...  I haven't found the perfect one for me yet...

           

These look so wonderful, cant you imagine them at your tea party...

          

These looked lovely as well...  I have been trying to find some gratin dishes forever I never find more than two at a time at thrifting stores so I think next time I'm going to purchase the two and whatever comes close the next time...  I want to make things like these...

         

Well I guess it!'s back to cleaning I have two things left to tackel, the coffee table area and the large oak shelf...

Want to wipe it all down it's been a while then vacuumm and I'm done...  Hoorrraaayyyy...

It feel's good already, I lobe when everything is clean you can just feel it...
