BEAUTIFUL YOSEMITE

Back down to earth after spending time with my head in the clouds at beautiful Yosemite with it's breathtaking views of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

 

 

 

 Hiked through Mariposa Grove, home of the giant sequoias.

The smell of pine filled the air.

GIRL WITH FLOWER BASKETS

Isn't she lovely?

She's French, she's bronze, and she's mine.
(An anniversary gift from my husband.)




She has sweet little round cheeks.




Filling her basket with colorful blooms makes her smile.

Her hair is gathered into a ribbon at the nape of her neck.





Her baskets have little flower details.


Is it obvious that I love her?

ANTIQUE STORE FIND

It was too hot to do anything outdoors this past weekend. The weather here has been sweltering.....so, I decided to visit some nice cool antique shops.

Look what I found. It's perfect for storing all my small sewing items.

The brass drawer knobs have such a nice patina.




I lined the drawers with pretty paper.



The cut-out space in the middle is the perfect size for storing needle books.



I love my new old sewing chest.
