Misc. Saturday

 Well I hope these girls are not too mad at me.  Here it is the end of September and I didn't post their picture.  Next month will be a guy, so get ready ladies.

Lisa and Ray just came back from vacation, they went to Colorado, Utah and Nevada and came back with so many beautiful pictures.  We all know how beautiful those Western states are, so I chose this picture to post because Lisa knew I would appreciate it and it makes you think. And laugh.

This is a book I just read picked out for me by Teresa at the library.  It's a good book and I enjoyed reading it through but the end is the best part.  Do not read the end before you start it.  I hope everyone has a good weekend, it is a gorgeous day in Michigan.

Visit to Kynda and Mark's Porch...

 It was too cold for me on the porch when we visited and I was disappointed to miss out on it.

 Little table has a story, Kynda bought it at Antique Mall then found out it had belonged to a friend's Mom.
(She offered it back of course).

 Wire frame, made in Michigan, made beautiful with flowers.  Why didn't we do that with ours?

 Mammy's little snail planter, sweet little face isn't it?

 Mammy's little birdhouse in a bird cage found by PJ.

Granddaddy's thermometer from White's Ashland Service Station.  We called it "filling station" back then.
It's like a trip down Memory Lane, and a perfect place for a visit or a read.

Pumpkins

 These are most of the pumpkins that I grew in the garden.....

and this is one I tried to make.  I think it turned out like a big ol pattypan squash.  Okay it was a practice piece that I attempted from a tutorial on mydesertcottage.com.  Maybe you could try it, but anyway, check out the website and see what you think.

Dora, the aDORAble

 Faith and Dora

 Noel and Dora....

Lucky little Dora has gone to live with Faith, and I will be visiting her often and seeing her grow up.
Dora's mom came to PJ's a while back and it was soon discovered she was in the family way.  Four little darlings and three have found wonderful homes.  One little Chubs is left and I have a feeling, he doesn't have to worry either.

I love thank-you letters and I thought Faith's was just awesome.  She and her whole  family are awesome!

Favorites at Town Peddler

My favorite things to play with are old crochet, buttons and pictures.  I also like old books.  Putting them all  together is fun for me.  The two dolls are Zombie Ann and Seed saver Ann. 

The last picture is a chalkboard made by some gals just around the corner from our booth.  They have the neatest things.  This is the underside of a  pull-cart, you can see the rollers . It's pretty large and priced at 39.95.  It probably won't be there very long.  On the left side there is a little hardware piece that holds the chalk.  I keep thinking about where I could possibly put it.

Happy Thursday.

Masterpiece Breathless on PBS

Sunday nights are PBS nights.  This is a new series beginning tonight!  Back to the sixties, should be good as most of the Masterpieces are.  (And minimum commercials).

Young Adult Fiction

I read this quickly so I could return it to my library for the young folks to read.  However, it doesn't have to be appreciated only by them.  It is suspenseful, tragic  with surprise that I didn't see coming.  John Green gave it a good review too.

I am having a problem with SPAM (anonymous comments).  If anyone has a solution I would appreciate a suggestion.

I was looking forward to posting some new dolls by Jackie, but she let me down and didn't send the pictures.  Maybe tomorrow.
