From My Childhood Days

Does anyone remember these?

When I was a kid it seemed like everyone had dishes like these.

 I only found these two cups, but I remember my grandmother having an entire set of these plastic dishes in pastel colors.

These ones are Byrd's TRANQUIL Ware and were made in Erie, PA.

Not far from here.

I'm happy to have found these.

They bring back lots of good memories.

A Little Outdoor Space

My mom is coming for a visit next week and I wanted to make a nice space out on the porch for us to sit and relax. Early this morning I potted up a few herbs and and did a bit of cleaning.

I brought out quilts, pillows and linens and put them all together to make a cozy little sitting area.

Mother's Day flowers.

 The Dream Catcher is now hanging in my Day Dreaming space.

 I call this Porch Gardening.

 These old wooden chair parts made it through another year.

 My flower garden is in desperate need of some mulch.

 I found two of these rusty antique sewing machines buried in the woods beside my house.

For some reason I feel like this basket of eggs belongs out here.

A dog bowl and rubber boots will always be on my porch.

 

What a beautiful day!

I'm so happy I got to spend most of it outside enjoying the sunshine.

I hope you are having a lovely day as well.
