breakfast club

wednesday morning breakfast was eaten at a little cafe' named demitasse which is fortunately connected to an antique mall.  we had fun posing and browsing and, of course, purchasing things we NEED. 

p.s. not this hat!!

guess what's all wrapped up? yep-it's my vintage apron swap for marian of dreamweaver fame. she creates the most gorgeous woven scarves. she blogs from the land down under(that makes me want to sing!). i hope she likes all her goodies. the swap was hosted by garboodles (who i am so glad decided to keep blogging) who is a multi-talented woman herself.  

window of life

i sent this picture to "shades of inspiration" flickr group. the window was given to me by my husband's mom. he had written his name on it with airplane glue when he was young. i added buttons from my grandmothers, mothers, and my collection and old lace and scrapbook elements. it was fun because of all the memories it holds.  i need to learn how to add a button. maybe i could find a tutorial about it.

today is "the breakfast club". for the past 15 or so years, my sisters and mom (and anyone else who wants to) get together for breakfast. our family is large and close. this is my "therapy" session for the week. no matter how low i may feel, i always come home feeling better. we share funny stories, sad or hard stories, and anything anyone wants to discuss. we look at magazines and/or catalogs and sometimes blogs. it is something i rarely miss and i look forward to it always.
