Little Treasures Mean So Much To Me

Found this beautiful shabby chic fabric basket at the Goodwill

Simply Shabby Chic......so divine!

I'm using it in my closet for "hand washables"

I was tickled to find this very sweet little shelf to hold.......

Some of my very special little treasures

This pretty tin box caught my eye, it has a sticker on the bottom that indicates it was  made in Germany and held candy in it. I thought it was so pretty and so unique. Goodwill special $1.50

It has a slot in the top (looks like a bank)

Little pretties

My treasures make me so happy

Hope your weekend is finding you "happy".

Smiles,

A Little Red Treat For Me

Found these beautiful "red" Ramekins at my local Thrift Shop for $2.50

The bottoms are stamped "Apilco France"......ohhh la la!!

Happy Valentines Day.......anything in red makes me swoon everyday of the year.

An Impromptu Visit With My Mom

My husband and I decided it was time to visit my mom......unannounced. We wanted to surprise her and check in on her at the same time. We left early Friday morning and drove 6 hours to Yuba City. Its a long drive up Highway 99 past Sacramento. It has been almost 2 years since we visited her and  she has aged a lot since losing my dad.

 I covet your prayers. I know The Lord will open a door soon that allows her to sell the house and move near my brother. It's not easy taking care of the parent(s) that took care of us when we needed them most but I am so grateful to have her in my life each day that passes.

Hug your mom & dad, tell them you love them.......every day in life is precious indeed.

Great Weekend

 I have never been a big Jessica Simpson fan, til I saw these!

They are soooooo me! 

Love me some heels, can't wait to wear them this Spring

Clearance is my friend! Love a sale at Dillards and that pink sticker made them just too hard to resist! I guess I will stay out of the mall for a while.

I put out a few Valentines over the weekend.

My sweet blog friend Deb sent this to me. I was tickled to open it up and find the sweet hankie tucked in there. I am so blessed by the friendships I have found through my blog.

My son tested for his Orange belt on Thursday night.

It was a lengthy test and the last of the beginner belt tests. We didn't get home until 9:00 that night. 

He did so well, I was the proudest mom in the studio!

He had to break a board with a kick and he didn't break it with the first kick, he hurt his foot on the second kick and still didn't break it but holding back the tears, reaching deep down inside, he broke that board with the third kick. He was beaming with pride and I was overcome with emotion at his accomplishment!

My husband made this belt rack so he can display all his belts. He was so happy when my husband finished it and hung it in his room. I am so proud of him and so thankful that my adoring husband is such a good step-dad to him. When you marry someone with kids you don't just automatically love them but when he does things like this for my son, it speaks volumes to my heart......and my son feels valued beyond measure.

It was a great weekend.

Smiles,

Debbie
