Random Things~

Ever had one of those days when you just don't know which way to turn?~kinda like this cute cat hanging on a tree in my backyard....today is just randomness..... An "oh so sweet" image of a little girl for you to use..I bought this from sweet Marion at Hertiage Antique Mall in Lufkin... so cute,hanging onto her bear for dear life~

New art for the shop...I should have been doing a thousand other things, but I just wanted to make something~ It's a tiny piece~ "Blowing Kisses"

And a couple pictures of my moms garden....



Her entire yard is just breathtaking~a cabin sitting in the middle of the woods... but,she loves these
purple verbena best.....I'll have to take more pictures of her yard another time~it's amazing



Thank you all for stopping by~ God Bless~

  17. Ann,
    Oh that little girl is precious holding her bear. I love to find the cabinet cards of children & they're even better when they are holding a sweet doll or something. I love your new creation. I've asked Jodie, Rose & Dawn if they will come see me & bribed them with a trip to your shop! Wouldn't that be fun?? We would buy you out! Your Mother's garden is a dream too! Love verbena, mine is in full bloom. Lisa

    Your mom's garden is lovely too, and I'd love to see more when you have time to share.
    Happy day to you and yours,
    Zuzu

  21. Hi Ann,
    Your mother's garden is so pretty, and the color purple against the green, such beauty all from God's palet. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Love your artwork, Blowing Kisses, how sweet.

  22. I've been a lurker; first time to comment. Love your blog - just checked your profile and see you live in Texas - me too! Houston, Texs. My Mom and I used to visit Jefferson, Texas - love that quaint little town. Would like to know the secret of your Mom's verbena - how she grows them. I have no luck at all in growing them. Where is your shop located? Thanks for sharing your life.
