Little Italy

We have a place in Cleveland called "Little Italy".  There are Italian restaurants, bakeries and stores.    One time we went with friends for dinner. After dinner,  we stopped at the bakery for donuts. Yummy!!  Then I saw this little trinket box  from Italy and had to have it.  .

Cream anyone??

When we were getting rid of stuff from my Mom's house, she kept asking if we took her creamer. I don't know where it came from but obviously, she cared a lot about it. So, I brought it home with me.

The Cat in the Hat

When my son was in 1st grade during Right to Read week, they had to dress as a character from a book.  We decided he would be the Cat in the Hat.  He already had the clothes.  My crafty husband made the rest. 

bronze shoes

When my son was little, I got a pair of his shoes bronzed.  Do people even do that anymore?  I had them made into bookends.  I usually use them only as decorations though.  

By the light of the silvery moon

My husband took this picture one night when he was sitting on the back porch.

I thought it was so cool that he got the shot right between the trees. (click on the picture to get the full view)

Roses are Red

Last week one evening, I was sitting in the computer room reading blogs and my husband came in.  This is what he  brought me.

Its from our front rose bush.  I haven't taken any pictures yet of the flowers.  He wanted me to be able enjoy them ;-)
