The Twins Are Here!

I'm so excited the twins are here!

I went out to water the plants and I decided to check out the nest and lo and behold I got babies!

At first I couldn't get a good shot of the eggs,  Helloooo it didn't dawn on me that the eggs had hatched.

So sweet.

I looks like two to me what do you think?  it's hard to tell but I'll keep you posted.  I showed this to my daughter last night and she flipped she's just as excited as I'm.  I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

How did you like that segue lol, yep we bought an apple tree so let's see how this puppy does.

Good thing I went out to water this morning, poor little guy needed watering, oh! please don't die. I don't have a green thumb (more like a white one ha get it, white one because I paint every thing white OK, well, I thought it was funny.)

I've had this grapevine for about 4 years now and last year it got so big and green, then It started to turn ugly and I spotted these worm like things, and it just died back.  I was going to get rid of it but I started to water it and now look at it it's coming back, but it has never given me any grapes. Then...

Look what I found, looks like grapes to me, yippee!

My strawberry plant is coming along.

Ahh, my climbing rose is starting to bloom, I love to see the little buds.

Then it just explodes into this!

Thanks for stopping by.  Tomorrow is Thursdaaay, and you know what that means in my neck of the woods- garage sailing time :).



With all my heart,

Garage Sale Finds

Happy Monday!

I hope you all had a great weekend. 

It was such a beautiful weekend here in my neck of the woods the temp's got to about 98 degrees.

We had a great walk.

The day was perfect for a bike ride.

and we even made time to go sailing, (garage sailing that is) so check out my finds!

Got this sweet little iron rooster.

I have a thing for vintage costume jewelry even if  I only find one earring I always buy it.

Did I tell you I have a thing for vintage bags too. I had to sell some when I moved here, and later I went to a local antique mall and saw one of my bags in one of the booths. Isn't this one adorable. Cost $1.00.

And this is getting painted white and then out it goes to the patio.

This was the best find of the day, it's a child's dresser or it could be a doll dresser I'm not sure but whatever it is I liked it, this baby is getting a paint job new knob's and maybe a basket for that shelf and it's small enough to go on top of another dresser or table.

Here is another shot so you can see how small it real is.

I also wanted to share with you my train cases, when I went to the Vintage Market, I bought the one on top and it's been growing since then I use them in all sorts of ways, the one on top houses a bridal emergency kit that I have used as a Wedding day coordinator.  The white one with only 1 latch has my sewing things in it and the other one I use when I help my GF with wedding flowers.  Love my cases!

That's it for now be back soon for more of my life in 1000sqft. hope you all have a great week.



With all my heart,

Yolanda

Rose update, It's so purdy!

I'm hoping one day that the bird's might make this there home.

Or how about this one, so sweet.

I spy with my little eye, something white.

Sorry I've been gone, but someone and I won't name any names (daughter) installed google chrome and caused havoc it blocked blogger on my computer and luckily after days of trouble shooting we got to the bottom of it. So glad to be back!

Happy Sunday to you all.





With all my heart,

Vintage Market Place at "The Oaks"

Happy Friday!
My BFF and I visited the Market place last year and thought I'd share this flea market with you all.

This was at the entrance where they had a sign in book for future shows.

This vendor had the sweetest concrete block's, I wish I had her name so I could give her proper credit, but it was before I started blogging, but who knows maybe she's reading this, if your out there let me know.

My GF was on a mission for a statue like this for the yellow wedding that we did back in August,  mission accomplished.

This is such a cute Idea, love the clock face.

More pillow's from burlap.  Darling pet bed, I really liked this flea market.

I'm digging those retail store sign holders.

Hey! I got a couple of these.  Look what they did.

Our wonderful hubby's, we our so blessed they like doing this stuff with us, there troopers.  Love you guys!

Did I tell you guys I like hat's, I can't resist trying them on.

If your in my neck of the woods there next show is June 1st and 2nd

The Vintage Marketplace at "The Oaks" 4815 5th St., Rainbow, CA 92028.

A Rose By Any Other Name

It's here!

Just a reminder of how it began.

Then the color peeked through.

I thought this was it, but a couple of days later....

Que choir of angles, ahhhh

I got this little rose tree when I moved here and so far so good.

Were all a buzz, cause the bee's are doing there thing on the orange trees.

The pineapple mint is thriving, I put some of this in my ice tea.

My little gazing ball has been with me since the beginning.

And the story continues.....

As always, stay tuned for more of my life in 1000sqft.

With all my heart.
