I'm also including in this post some vacation pics and birthday pics.
This is the gorgeous view we had every morning from our deck. Hubby and I were out there every morning to watch the sun come up. Oh my do we miss this place!
My handsome son Bob!
My birthday was Sept. 14 th. The day after we got home from vacation.

A pretty Birthday card from Victorian Trading Company.

Once a year our church has a mass & a picnic at the old chruch in the country. This year it happened to fall on my birthday. It was a nice day and I did not have to cook.
Next I've posted pics of my gifts. I told hubby I wanted a new stove for my birthday. (strange gift I know) Mine has been on self destruct for a year and I got tired of playing games with it. LOL. I love my new stove and it's self cleaning, that's the best! Also can be programed to turn itself on and off.
The other thing that I asked for was a big table to lay my quilts out on. I make alot of quilts for charity. If you haven't seen my charity blog "Stitches of Love" click here and you can read what it's all about.
My daughter Jen of Jen's Petal Palace gave me this vintage embroidered quilt. I just love it sooooo much!
A few close ups of the embroidery.
And a tea cozy, and------------------
A cute little banner, thank you Bertie!
My PRH Sister Katie of Rose Breeze Boutique gave me these beautiful tea roses and a Ghos-Tea. Thank you Katie!
Also from my PRH sister Karen of Second Hand Rose sent me this pretty card, stickers and made me this beauitful tag. Thank you Karen!
This is all the pretty things I brought home from vacation for my daughter Jen.
Some pretty Southern Belle Plates that I found in an antique store while on vacation.
I love baskets, so this really called me!
I love this and thought it had a soft shabby chic look.
This is not pink but wanted to share it with you because alot of you like my jadeite. This is really a different piece. I think it probably hung over the stovepipe hole in the summer. I'm going to change the ribbon to pink. Of Course!
This cupcake ornament was made my Gooseberry Patch, one of my favorite places to shop!
Blessings, Shirl
