I hope you have all had a Happy Memorial Day and paused to pray for the service men and women who are serving our country.

What do you collect? I just love these cute little salt and pepper shakers. They are hard to find. I saw these at a little antique shop in Nacogdoches, TX. If you have never been down town Nacogdoches you are missing a treat. Lots of cute little shops.

These beautiful hydrangeas are in my mom's yard. She has a green thumb.
Beautiful blue hydrangeas.

Do you know what this is? It is my grandmother's old wringer washing machine. I am not sure where the roller attachment is. I remember helping her when I was little, I always turned the handle on the wringer. I found it old and rusted at her home. I think it makes an interesting plant stand on our deck. Every time I see it I think of my grandmother and all the fun memories I have of her.

I just love the way it turned out. I love finding free treasures.

One man's trash is truly anothers treasure. I took a load of stuff to the local dump and look what I found. Isn't she a beauty. I can not believe someone threw this away. I am very glad they did.

I wish you all a very HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY. To all the mothers and mothers to be, I hope your day is filled full of love and surprises. I am very blessed to be the mother of 3 amazing children and one son-in-law. I also have a wonderful mother.

We went to First Monday in Canton. I found an old wood painter's ladder and painted it white. I had some linen pillow cases that my grandmother made to hang on the ladder. I need to get a close up picture of the details they are really beautiful.
