Little 'this, little 'that, lotta love.

My weaknesses collections vary - 
but the genetic consistent
collection through the years has
been plates, stemware and table linens.



My mom and grandmother have similar
addictions collections.
Sets for all possible occasions, and
I know that is where my love comes from.

Depression Glass is a specific collection.
My mom has a great collection
that was started by her grandmother's
collection - of depression glass
and pieces added through
antique stores, etc. over the years.



The perfect pink of these plates,
glasses, etc. makes my heart happy.



OK, enough about me.
Look at these photos below...




Aren't they so sweet?
My mom did them!
These are snippets she sent me from
her Valentine's Day.

That table she set by the fireplace
for she and my dad (married 35 years this Aug!)
and she said they only had the 
fireplace and candles lit when they ate.
LOVE.

They're beautiful - and I copy her constantly.
Way to go, Mom - it looks so beautiful!






These last few photos is just me
playing with my camera
and really falling in love with Picnik...
even though it is closing in April.

xoxo  Happy Thursday.  xoxo
