how was your weekend?


Moms,
I hope your Mother's Day was special.
~
My day included special wishes & gifts
from the kids,
a wonderful brunch,
a sunny warm day to enjoy the outdoors,
and a break from the usual chores.
~
As a bonus,
on Saturday, we headed to the Amish store
and hit the first yard sales
of the season.
I found the ovenware covered dish
with Homer Laughlin's Virginia Rose
pattern,
which matches some bowls and plates
I have;
and
an Edge Malkin transferware piece,
missing its top I think and a bit
chipped,
but I love it all the same.
~
I'm off to bake some fresh cut rhubarb
into a pie,
~Deb

    What lovely finds. Alas, yard sales are few & far between here in South Africa. : (

  3. Hi Claire! The photo is of my maternal grandparents on their wedding day. I never knew my grandfather who died when my mom was only 16; my grandma was just the sweetest woman I've ever known--a real blessing to all us grandkids!
