PINK TURKEY? NO WAY!

Hello my Pinkie friends! Welcome to another Pink Saturday! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. I have some new pictures to show you of one of my bathrooms. I recently changed everything over. It is mostly done in greens and blues, but you can't have a room without a little pink. I just love changing things around. Did I ever tell you I collect hand mirrors? I have a few of them on the bathroom wall. Others are on various dressers. I think they are so dainty. Who uses these kinds of mirrors anymore? I need to use one of those mirrors that make things 100 x bigger than life. Getting old is not pretty.








I am also including some pictures of Thanksgiving decorations I have began to put up. Did I ever tell you I collect all things turkeys? I collect turkey platters, turkey salt shakers and turkey decorations of all kinds. They are so much fun. They really put me in the mood for TURKEY! I love the rich, warm colors. Please take the time to visit the other Pinkies and as well as to thank dear Beverly, for hosting this fun party! We will talk again on Tea Cup Tuesday. I found more cups! Blessings, Martha

UNUSUAL TEA TREASURES!

Hello Tea Cup Lovers! Welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday No. 35 with Terri and Martha. I hope you had a wonderful weekend and are looking forward to getting back to normal. Sharing our tea cups! (Is that normal?)
I am excited to show you some new pretties. I am in the process of taking off Halloween and putting up Thanksgiving decorations. It feels like Christmas every time I open a bin and discover what I purchased last year! Oh and to my surprise, I found more tea cups! I love it when that happens.





The ones I am sharing with you today are so different from the many others you may have seen in my collection.The very first one is a Haviland Limoges! (Be still my heart!) Just look at the saucer! Have you ever seen any thing like it? Only Limoges, could pull this off. It has a slightly fluted round cup with a kicked loop handle shaped like a ribbon. Beautiful, if I do say so myself!





Cup No. 2 is also a Limoges. It is a rare left-handled cup with an ornate loop handle that looks more like it has been made in gold metal, not porcelain china. I even found a date for this cup c.1983. It is very large and spectacular.


Cup No. 3 is also Haviland Limoges. A very different style for them. It is a slightly waisted tapered cup with unusual angular rustic. The handle is slightly angular. Very pretty!




Cup No 4 is from Denmark. It is so fine that when you hold it to the light, it has a lace designed, only seen in the light. I am not sure if you can see it, but the top of the handle has a smiling face, looking up at you. It is so cute! You can tell I am quite pleased with my new found (under basement) treasures!




The very top picture is a fruit bowl I use in the fall. Perfect shape don't you think? I want to thank all the new ladies who have joined my blog and are now part of the party. It is so fun to go and see your beautiful homes and tea cups. It is like opening a magazine with all it's treasures. Only, unlike the magazine I know you, which makes it so much for fun!


I just had to show thise Venetian glass, it is so beautiful, it must be shared. You know what to do with Mr. Linky.



Thank you so much for always being there for me. Please let me know, if you have an prayer needs. I would love to bring your requests to the Lord. Blessings!

BUSS LIGHTYEAR & THE GOOD WITCH!

Hello ladies!

Have you ever been so full of joy that you felt like your heart was going to just bust with pleasure? That is how I feel tonight. On top of that, I am exhausted! I had the most wonderful day with my daughter Vanessa, and my two grandchildren, Maya and Noah! Since it is Halloween, I thought it would be ok, just to share family fun. I did tell you I would show you pictures! I hope you don't mind, but Grandma has to brag!










It was the first time in years, I played tag and was it! I ran until my legs felt like they were going to fall. We were in San Marino today and had the time of our lives. The kids had their face painted, touched snakes and blew giant bubbles. We made masks, made worm tiles, touched roaches (yuck!). They loved every minute of it. There was so much to do, we just could not get it all in before we all needed to nap! I thank God for Grandchildren and naps. They are such treasures. Have a fun Halloween! Blessings and stay safe, Martha
