thrifting queen

in my eyes my mum is a thifting queen. just look at what she scored at her last garage sale. a beautiful tea set including 6 cups and saucers, 6 plates, a milk jug and a sugar bowl. all in the gorgeous "provence" style made in england for a grand total of 10 dollars. and what makes all this extra special is she bought it for me as she knew i'd adore it. mothers know best!

little golden memories

from an early age my mum instilled in me a love and respect of books, reading to me as much as she could and diligently taking me to our local library. however my own book collection could have rivaled any library and the same could now be said about my little bubbas collection. my mum has kept for me all my childhood books to one day pass onto my children. that day has arrived and while going through the boxes and boxes of them i have discovered my large collection of little golden books. oh the memories and joy these books conjure up. here are but a few of my faves.
