I found this very old toddlers shoe ( it is one of a pair ) when we came to Michigan twelve years ago from Arizona. While deciding where we wanted to live in a state we knew nothing about, we did estate sales, auctions and every antique store we could find in the area where we had our home base. Coldwater. I have had this where I could see it as I think it is enchanting. I wonder about the little girl that wore it ~ look how scuffed it is and it won't stand straight. Did she have brothers and sisters, did she have a happy childhood? The man I purchased them from knew her family and how I wish I had asked him more questions ~ This is today's little project ~<br />

Hello All ~<br />
I haven't blogged in ever so long, but I saw Beverly's invitation to join in <a href="http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/"> "Pink Saturday" </a> and thought since I had a moment, I would!<br />
<br />
How have you all been?<br />
<br />
I am about the same, busy, busy, busy, but there have been changes. My husband is battling memory loss and while he is healthy and active, it is a frustrating and depressing thing for us both. This is a very intelligent, thoughtful, kind man who is known not just for being calm and down to earth, but just how plain smart he is. How intuitive with such an inquiring mind! A wonderful husband and father. This disease is tragic!! We are hoping the meds and coconut oil every day will keep it from progressing or progressing too quickly. We know it is in God's hands.<br />
<br />
This has been such a cool spring and summer after a brutal winter, here in Michigan. With reports of another bad one ahead of us we are planning to perhaps, escape this one ~<br />
<br />
The complete running of the house keeps me super busy. We both tend to the yard and gardens. I just came in from planting more pink tulips and hope the squirrels will leaven them be. lol! I keep busy with my website, <a href="http://www.the%20ruffledrose.com/"> The Ruffled Rose </a> and my Etsy Shop, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/AnniesShabbyAttic"> AnniesShabbyAttic </a>

I am of an age that I had hankies as a girl, as did my friends, and that is when my love for hankies began. My grandmothers carried them everywhere and often had one tucked in a pocket. I always thought they were the prettiest things! Even Grandpa, both of them, carried handkerchiefs as did my Dad and my husband. Neatly folded in a back pocket....Their's were manly in plaids or white ~<br />

Some have tiny rolled hems, scalloped edges, fancy laces of all kinds and they were also like little samplers, where those learning their dainty embroidery practiced ~</div>

I display my hankies in different ways around our little bungalow as they are just too pretty to keep hidden away in a box and make pretty little unexpected accents ~ I change them often ~</div>

My favorites are the ones that are in perfect condition, but used....those are the ones you wonder about ~ wonder who carried it and what the hanky would tell if it could talk ~<br />
There is a wonderful and short history on hankies, if you would like to read it. Just click on the link ~<br />

And, I saved my favorite for last ~ When we moved from Arizona to Michigan, eleven years ago, we briefly lived in Coldwater, MI. Coldwater was our home base for scouting where we would eventually live ~<br />
The surrounding communities of Coldwater is a mecca of antique stores. In one that was quite fascinating for it's hap hazard way of displaying things, I found this silk hanky. The aged proprietress had this behind the counter. I do not remember what I paid for it, but it was enough that I hid the purchase from my hubby who was in the basement. (The basement was like a library....full of books on shelves ....it was amazing!) It is a hanky that will go to one of my granddaughters ~<br />

Hello All ~ Have you been enjoying Fall and all it brings? Cool temps, radiant colors and a fire in the fireplace! It seems that just one day it was Fall ~ There was little leading up to it, but now I, for one, have settled in to cozy days with the tea kettle humming away and me happily sewing or painting ~<br />

Isn't this a spectacular display of beauty by Mother Nature! We were doing a bit a yard work and I ran and got the camera....My Mom passed quite a while ago....she was a professional artist specializing in watercolors, oils and pottery...when I see a sky like this, I always say "Thank You, Mom!" and blow her a kiss. I think of her as Mother Nature's artist in residence! How I miss her...no matter how old I get to be, a day will not go by that I do not think of her! ♥<br />

Hello Friends ~ I hope you are having a lovely Fall day. It is 73 degrees here in my little corner of Michigan. Just beautiful! So perfect for cleaning the gardens and planting bulbs....I have done both and it feels so good to be ready when winter blows in! Of course, the leaves have yet to fall and we will have days of raking them. : )<br />

Hello Dear Friends ~ It has been a week of painting. I just listed four PINK ornaments at <a href="http://www.theruffledrose.com/"> THE RUFFLED ROSE </a> ~ They are full of vintage laces, millinery and pretty silk ribbons. I hope you will come and take a look. They will be such a pretty addition to the shabby Christmas and then to decorate with all year long ~<br />
<br />
As I write a little thunderstorm just moved in with lots of rain and low dark clouds....Such delicious weather! I am enjoying every moment of it as Sunday the weather changes back to cool Fall air ~<br />

We have been home for almost a week and there has been a lot of catching up to do!<br />
We have been gone all summer....well, almost all summer.<br />

(Our daughters charming home.....her home dates back to the American Revolution)<br />
<br />
We took off for a couple of weeks for one of our NY granddaughters high school graduation<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAmJMSd5OD6UgtvyLyDHm15QyxItfh1cvJRx9b-yj6AW5DAG-AxpBV6pwIj2bJcvu496kwVT4gz3fUOSzzdMBbXa6b8aan0hZ6rL3lZDHMreQM3_igJJ481DgzdT60uwU41F1T5VHa7nmf/s1600/Allie's+Graduation+B+2013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="309" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAmJMSd5OD6UgtvyLyDHm15QyxItfh1cvJRx9b-yj6AW5DAG-AxpBV6pwIj2bJcvu496kwVT4gz3fUOSzzdMBbXa6b8aan0hZ6rL3lZDHMreQM3_igJJ481DgzdT60uwU41F1T5VHa7nmf/s320/Allie's+Graduation+B+2013.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
and when we thought we would be going home, there was a little bump in the road. Our daughter had a test come back that required another test and all of this took three weeks. All ended well, but it would have been silly to make the twelve hour trip back home if the test had different results and we would have had to make that long trip back ~<br />

Two of the girls kayaking on Lake Champlain (they live on the shores of this lake ). All the children are at ease on or in the water. Their school has an indoor swimming pool and each student must learn to swim in order to graduate.<br />
<br />
Her husband has been on a special detail for several months in DC and many in the family, including us, wanted her to take the children to see the sights and that is just what she did. We stayed and house sat the cat, Mouse and the dogs, Fergus and Bella. This is Fergus, below and Bella is lying down to the left.<br />

Tom and I roamed the back roads and went "pickin." We had a great time and came home with the van loaded with goodies for <a href="http://www.theruffledrose.com/"> The Ruffled Rose </a> and our booth at the antique mall in downtown Port Huron. I still have odds and ends on the dining table....sigh! Below is a sampling of our finds...there will be more posts as I get chairs repainted and other pictures taken ~ So you must come back often to see lots more pictures of this summer and our adventure! I even found ice skates to paint for winter decorating!<br />

Hello Pink Saturday! Hello Friends!<br />
The wind is blowing a gale, and there are little "helicopters" from the Maple trees everywhere! lol! That means watching for all the little shoots of baby trees that will be coming up in the gardens, lawns, gutters....just anyplace that can put down roots. Like squirrels, it is just part of living here ~<br />

I was going to the antique store, as I have some things to add, but we are under another storm warning and after yesterday and the tornado sirens going and fleeing to the basement, I thought I would do the errands tomorrow just to be safe ~<br />

I woke up this morning with the urge to clean and rearrange. I think it the sound of the birds happily singing and the warm, balmy air .... Winter is over and a new season is beginning ....</div>

I know this is not pink, but this is such a pretty rose corsage Marian Elizabeth fashioned for our </div>
<a href="http://www.theruffledrose.com/"> website</a> and would be a lovely Mothers Day gift, that I just had to show you! Lots of pretty things happening at the Ruffled Rose ~<br />

You will find many more blogs celebrating Pink over at

I am so bad about blogging....I make all of these promises but, I get busy and forget. Another problem is I am not a writer and it takes a certain amount of talent to keep your audience engaged! I read blogs and the post may be short, but it is written so well and just draws you in and you don't want to leave. I want to be one of those bloggers! Well, maybe someday, as I believe I will always be the reader more than the writer!<br />
<br />
What I have been doing is making things for the <a href="http://www.theruffledrose.com/"> website </a> ... items to freshen up the home for Spring like the pretty hand towel, below ~<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">Have you ever done this...put a plant in the sink to give it a drink and let the water trickle on it for a bit? Five minutes they say is how long you should do this. Well, five minutes came and went as I forgot about the plant being busy cleaning the upstairs and also had a call from my son and even went downstairs to tell Mr. S. what son had to say. So, a goodly amount of time went by until I walked into the bathroom and to my horror, the water was cascading over the sink and cabinet onto the floor which was mostly a lake by then.</span><br />

<span style="text-align: left;">I called Mr. S. and he came running and we began the process of dealing with this mess...an all afternoon mess, I might add! The little bits and pieces of soil and other materials from the plant had clogged the sink and after we got past all that and everything decorative out of the bathroom, I went to mopping up. The water had filled the cabinet under the sink and as I was dealing with that, I kept getting drips from the two deep drawers. I pulled the top one open that holds hubby's items and to my dismay! it had at least three inches of water in it! I then checked my drawer at the bottom and it too, had the same amount of water. Mercy! </span></div>

Yes! It is a true winter day! The wind is bending the trees and the snowflakes are swirling around making the ground look like someone with powdered sugar came along!

Hi Everyone! So happy you could stop by our fun new party at Etsy Cottage Style called <a href="http://etsycottagestyle.blogspot.com/2013/01/new-year-happenings.html"> "Vintage Cottage Style</a>. " We will be sharing our treasures from our junkin' trips to flea markets, thrift stores, estate sales and so on. In my part of the country the yard sales won't start for a few months and I am so looking forward to getting back out there, too! So, I browse the flea markets and the thrift stores and the antique stores, too, for now.<br />

I am going to show you two beautiful and pristine pieces I found at an estate sale. They were kind of hidden back behind some things, but I saw a bit of the gold trim and the green pattern.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was thrilled when I uncovered this beautiful tureen and the lovely big platter ~</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They go so well together, but the patterns are just slightly different. The greens are the same.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided I was going to keep them and enjoy them for a bit and I did. They were part of an arrangement on the dining table, but, I have so many pretty treasures and our home is quite petite, so I will be selling them, sigh! :(</div>

I have been absent from blogging for a while with all the hustle and bustle of November and December. Did you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year? Are you all ready to start fresh and did you make reasonable promises to yourself? Like everyone else, I wonder where 2012 went!<br />

With the tree packed away for another year...sadly as I love my little tree. I have mentioned before that we downsized in a very big way when we moved from our beloved Arizona to Michigan, so my tree is a 6' slimline. Hubby spray painted it white, but not all white letting some of the green show through. It was a very pretty pastel tree and pleased me greatly! I had lots of glittery ribbon running back and forth and tucked back in among the branches and lots of ornaments that glittered, shimmered and shined...it was so satisfying! <br />
<br />
And look what my talented partner, at the local antique store, made me for Christmas! I will show you more details in a later post. Isn't this a beautiful bird bath? It will have a very special place in a revamped garden this spring ~<br />

So, with the house put back together and clean and sparkly, I was ready to go back to work and here is what I have been doing....<br />
I love the pretty cuff~bracelets and have been having fun making some. They add so much to an outfit and I especially love them with the BoHo or Gypsy look!<br />

All week I have pondered what to write about the torment of breast cancer. I do not have it in my family, I have been blessed, although I know it can come out of the blue. Two people, a close friend and an acquaintance, have gone through the misery of the treatments to beat it....both, I am happy to say, are.<br />

My one wish is simple, I pray that a cure is found and quickly. That there will be no more grief, pain and suffering. My heartfelt prayers go to those brave women that are in the battle to survive and those that did not. May God Bless them and their brave families, which are also in this battle with them!<br />
<br />
<br />
Please go to <a href="http://www.howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/pink-saturday/">BEVERLY</a> of How Sweet The Sound, and visit all the other blogs involved in the Pink Saturday post on Breast Cancer. And, lets each say a prayer for a cure.<br />
<br />
Many Blessings to each of you,<br />

We call this "Thelma's Tree" after the sweet lady that lived there. She passed a few years ago and a new family lives in her little Saltbox Cottage, but to us it is still Thelma's! I love how there are little bursts of color among the green...<br />

And for my last picture, one sweet little pink blooming among the peonies that I must get out and cut back. The rocks are from our Arizona/Texas trip....I had the car so full of beautiful rocks of all sizes that hubby had to finally tell me enough as we don't drive a pickup and there are tires to consider. lol! How I love my Arizona rocks!<br />
Well, these are my pictures of what is going on in our part of Michigan! So far it has been a lovely fall!<br />
Hop on over to <a href="http://www.howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/pink-saturday/">BEVERLY </a> to visit with all the ladies loving pink and fall to enjoy all of their pictures!<br />

It has been so hard to give up Summer! I think Mother Nature knows this and so she gives us some fun called Halloween. You can find this vintage Jack-o-Lantern at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/111124308/halloween-pumpkin-lantern-1950-halloween?ref=sr_gallery_39&ga_search_query=pumpkins&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_explicit_scope=1&ga_page=3&ga_search_type=all"> CottonCreekCottage </a> on Etsy <br />

And this cutie is made from a coconut that was carefully hollowed out. Miss A. one of our granddaughters gave this to a few years back when they were visiting a pumpkin patch and the owner gave it to her....it is one of my favorites because it is so unusual.<br />

Here are my pinks for this Pink Saturday ~ <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Isn't this just the prettiest trivet? I found this on our trip through Canada for things for my booth in the antique store or our website, but I can not part with it...ever! lol!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Aren't these sweet? And, they are in pristine condition and very usable! I don't know about you all, but I love pretty pot holders and towels.<br />

Hello Sweet Friends,<br />
I have not participated in Pink Saturday for a very long time! With all that summer has to offer and family visits it seems there just was no blogging time. This was a different kind of summer and one I will always remember and keep close to my heart! Now, it is time to rein in my lazy ways and get back to work!<br />
<br />
With a booth in the newly opened antique store on the main street of Port Huron called Forever Classic, I am busy keeping it full! I am blessed to have a wonderful partner/friend that has the same vision, so we work well together. We have been open three months and have been doing so well that my partner has taken another booth with her sister....I have found that it is almost a full time job looking for quality pieces that go with our Cottage theme and to keep The Ruffled Rose full as well ~ ~ ~<br />

Hello Friends....It has been quite a while since I posted! Life has been full to overflowing! It has been a hot and dry summer with the lawn and gardens not looking too perky and I know we are not alone. The country is thirty for rain!<br />

This little creek bed, bordered with rocks from my beloved Arizona and Texas, ran full with a rare day of rain in July ~<br />
<br />
Our little cottage/bungalow has been jumping with grandchildren and the friends they have found here. The branches of the trees are bouncing with little boys climbing, bikes were parked around the front walk and the sounds of happy children made my heart feel a sweet contentment! Such a happy time! ( I always loved summer vacation with my own children home. Their voices and their comings and goings. It was always a sad day for me when it was time for them to go back to school ! )<br />
<br />
Now it is time to seriously go back to work as all the family has returned home and I hope with happy memories! Oh, I worked this summer, just not at my usual pace. I lazed on the porch and enjoyed family and actually got caught up with my magazines! And, with a friend opened a booth in a new and booming antique store, here in town. I will be adding pictures from our space from time to time.<br />
<br />
Below is a tea cozy I fashioned from a vintage linen with one of my favorite Southern Belles....<br />

These are from a generous neighbor and they are soooo delicious and were never sprayed with pesticides, so no worries when we bite into one. Isn't that nice!</div>
