pretty jadeite

A pretty jadeite creamer and sugar bowl, 
found on the recent 'thrifting' run.

I need a little spring green in my life. 
Rain, rain, and then...
more snow.

There's hope, though.
Two of my favorite words...
Spring. Break.
We're making like birds,
and heading south shortly.

Speaking of bird(ie)s, I'm hoping Maggie makes the badminton team.
 She left the house at 5:30 a.m. this morning, for the final try-outs.
And, Gracie has been hard at work on her
  To Kill A Mockingbird  boardgame
 book report. It's really quite amazing.

Happiest of Friday pretties to you, my friends.
I hope you have a lovely weekend.

Oooooooh jadeite.....I love it, but it is almost non- existent here in the UK. I drool over all the milk glass on ebay in America but the shipment to the UK is HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!So, for now I will keep drooling!!!!!!!

Fingers crossed for the Badminton!

Have a super weekend!

Miss Molly...I ran a quick errand before the rain (snow tomorrow) and I had a package on the step. What an incredible treat. The Cath Kidston goodness is lovely. Thank you so much. I cannot wait to sew and mend. Keep up the finding...heaven help our children and their schedules...I've got one trying out for the golf team! Smiles and Thanks...Renee
