Build an ark!

 

We haven’t had any rain pretty much the entire summer.

Last time I heard 57% of the state was in drought condition.

Now they are calling for rain…..and flooding!

The Babies……

 

 

Gracie2

-------

Is that not the sweetest face ever?

Miss Gracie is now five months old…….soon to be six!

She has learned sooooo much in the last month.

Like how to jump on the sofa……

Gracie4

-------

The bow lasted less than a minute……

and then she promptly ate it!

-------

Gracie 5

-------

She has so many toys that she naps on top of them.

We are still working on potty training.

SO, until we get the hang of that we need a blanket on the sofa.

Booger is settling in nicely and is such a sweet,sweet boy!

He has discovered how much fun toys are!

More ironstone…..

 

platters2

-------

No matter how hard I try to NOT buy anymore

ironstone I seem to always

find just one more piece that I simply must have!

Since I have been collecting ironstone for over

twenty years I have pretty much reached maximum capacity.

Somehow though I managed to squeeze three more

pieces above the doorway in the dining room.

It’s a sickness I tell ya!

-------

-------

I also found this French fly catcher

when we went to the Bottoms Up antique market.

Originally I was going to hang

it in the mudroom but then my darling husband pointed out

that it would eventually be full of DEAD flys.

I wasn’t loving the

idea of having a bunch of dead

flys hanging around

so it found a home in one of the window sills.

An antique wine bottle…..

e

This wine bottle is another

treasure I found at the Bottoms Up antique market.

I love the bubbled glass……and it is the

most wonderful pale blue color!

e

I decided to bring in this weathered

pillar I was using out on the porch to use in the corner.

I had Mr. Handyman cut it down a little

so it would be better proportioned.

A new little treasure….

 

cross

e

Last Friday we went to the

Bottoms Up antique market in KC and I

found this antique crucifix.

Originally I had planned to hang it in the dining room

but decided next to the armoire in the

living room was a better spot.

e

We had so much fun and found lots

of wonderful things.

I will share more later on this week.

And then there were three…….

 

Booger 004

e

Isn’t that just the sweetest face you have ever seen?

We recently adopted this little cutie!!!!

Now we have THREE little Yorkies…..yes you read that right, three!

I would say this household is definitely at

it’s maximum capacity when it comes to furry little babies.

We couldn’t say no though when we found out

this little guy needed a new home.

e

Booger 003
e

He is a tiny little guy weighing barely 4 lbs.!

Gracie who is almost five months old

weighs almost 6 lbs..

e

Booger2 002

e

He is such a good little boy and very well mannered.

I’m sure you are

wondering by now what his name is………

Meet Booger!

I’m not sure why anyone would ever name such

a sweet little dog such an awful name

but since he is five years old I don’t think we can change it?!?!?

e

Booger2 006
e

Although we weren’t looking to adopt another dog

we are so glad he has come into

our lives!

Our fur babies bring us so much joy and happiness!
