| Introduction | I grew up in a suburb of Seattle, riding horses where now there are housing developments and shopping malls. I have raised 3 children, made 'home' in an abandoned house, lived on a farm, on an island, and now in wheat country of Washington State. I love my husband/best friend, our kids, my friends and our dog. I also love to garden. There have been many different jobs along the way, but gardening and landscaping for others and at home have been my favorite. I love all things vintage and antique, a love passed on to me from my parents. When I was young my family annually visited the Oregon coast, frequenting antique stores, old bookstores, and second hand stores. Our souvenirs and mementos were always old treasures found in a corner covered with dust. Now with a bit of life behind me, my blog will be reflecting on the past: what I've learned, what I'm working on, vintage items being restored or repurposed (I call them deux overs) and always photos. I believe we have to reflect on the past, learn from it, and move forward into today and tomorrow. I hope you come along with me and enjoy the journey! |
| Interests | I am interested in all things old. Antiques, vintage, old time wisdom, ideas, hints and wives tales I love old buildings and old cars. Through the lens of my camera, I like to capture the details. I love holidays and decorating and made idea books in old photo albums long before pinterest was created! I love sharing my ideas my photos, and what I've gathered along the twisted turning path of my life, and hope you find something you are interested in on these pages!. |
| Favorite movies | My favorite movie is Ever After, but I love historical romantic movies and romantic comedy. Also, I love Johnny Depp. I think he could play any character ever created and do it with his flair and style. He is very underrated. |
| Favorite music | Music is the language of the spirit and soul. I love most music, from.country, classic rock, soft rock, jazz, big band, to instrumental accompanied with the sounds of nature. But I like music, NOT noise. When my ears think it sounds like noise, I simply turn it off! Easy enough!. |
| Favorite books | The Shell Seekers by Rosamunde Pilcher is my favorite. I have read it every summer for about 8 years. I love historical fiction, and fiction set in England or Ireland, and 'who dunnits'. My book shelves are full of gardening books. There is something I enjoy about planning my gardens during the winter with a cup of coffee and gardening books in piles beside me. I use the internet to look up things all the time, but I still like the feel of a book in my lap and a cup of something hot in my hand! |
Please describe how you could take the peel off an apple all in one go:
Give it to a horse. It will eat it all at once!
