Tea with My colors makes Me swoon. Thrifting and crafting all the days long :)


OOHHH Lavender I'm not safe around You  <3. A sweet glass bowl I found a day ago at Home Goods.I'm not safe at Home Goods either or any store that I find  lavender calling My name.

To Me black, white,and any shade of purple send Me swooning.


You should have seen how fast I put this set in My cart.After My blissful finds at Home Goods, I jumped on over to Goodwill feeling lucky.
Gee! There it was a beauty of a curtain- black and white toile just waiting for Me-it wanted to be a tablecloth,so I must let it.
So I got up this morning before it was light to put the new goodies out for Me to enjoy.

Peanut butter toast....



and coffee pretending to be tea.O.k. yes, I do let coffee pretend to be tea  :  / 
Pretty little sweet gifts that mean so much to Me. A card in the mail from Linda :) so We can remember eachother for teatime.


Amazing ATC from Mercedes

Now for My latest half done creation.I broke the mirror in the middle-now what?I hate to go out and buy another.I was going to put moss around the mirror that leads Me to My Shire.I love portholes to dreamy places, You might already know.
Maybe I should paint or draw My shire to put in the porthole.I must look in My stash to see what I can find.First I'll go for a swim.Beautiful warm day here at Coffeeberry Cottage in Southern Ca. Hugs-Denise      Joining Sandi at Rose Chinz Cottage for tea

Anticipating Influx of Spring Faeries

 In Southern CA. with the mild Winters,esp in Rancho Cucamunga, We need to get Our gardens ready now.

I have cleaned out their homes,swept,washed and rearranged their yards.


 I'm surprising  them with new plants they have previous requested.They wanted several they could extract water from,so I included more succulents.


They also wanted more color so I hope these wildflowers I'm keeping warm will be here soon enough.
I still have time to paint their old main gathering place-with the frog on top.I also want to surprise them with some beautiful extra glimmer shimmer and shine too before their arrival date.They have always told Me how much they appreciate their original grape vine from their large home before we downsized. They've expressed how much they love all the birds,so feeders of all types are in place.
While I'm waiting I'm  busy making several Valentine tags and ATCs. Here's just a few.Trying to explain to My Husband what His long time lover and Valentine is up to in Her later years.His"with it" young wife,chef to His little girls, shopper of important items for family life is gone.His new lover yes is so different yet the same.It's hard to explain to a man.It all just makes Him laugh  and happy for Me.






My newest Valentine-Maddie Kaye
I do know My priorities though.She will learn all about faeries,gnomes,brownies. Of Course last but NOT LEAST and most important I've been very busy teaching Her GOD IS GOOD.....JESUS LOVES HER.... ect ect ect. LOVE and HUGS-Denise       Partying with Valentine Party Over at Bargain Decorating.Also What to do weekend party at Craft's a la Mode. Make it pretty Monday party by Kathy is on My sidebar, I'm also joining Her blog at Dedicated House.Please jump on over to Her party too.
One of my favourite songs that makes me realise God’s always around. — Dancing with God, Verse 1: You dance over me While I am unaware, You sing all around But I never hear the sound, Chorus: Lord, I’m amazed by You Lord, I’m amazed by You Lord, I’m amazed by You How You love me Verse 2: You paint the moring sky With miracles in mind, My hope will always stand, For You hold me in Your hand.
