Ruby Wall

My red picture this week is a WALL!!!

When we bought this old farmhouse, this stove was here left behind by the family of the previous owners,

electric AND wood burning...

Since we were never too sure about the chimney, we never used the wood burning oven.

Although wouldn't it be interesting to bake a loaf of bread using wood???

I'm sure the original owner of this centennial farm - Mrs. Nyman

had it perfected to a "T"

(I would have probably burned countless loaves before giving up!!)

We do know the electric part works-

we spent a couple of Thanksgivings here when it was just a get away place,

twice we cooked a turkey in the little oven.

We have not used it since we remodeled,

instead we have framed it with a RED wall

and given this old stove a place of honor in our kitchen.

Happy Ruby Tuesday to all!!

Springtime Teapots

As a collector of teapots - among other things....see previous post-

I have decided it is way past time to participate in one of the many memes

about.....tea things!!

So for this first visit I have chosen a couple that seem right for this time of year-

and they both were given to me by my sister.

This tea set - that looks like pastel colored flowered says Springtime!!!

And of course an Easter Bunny teapot!!

If you like teapots - teacups - "tea things"

Shoe Mosaic

When I was a little girl my mom & I would visit  Aunt Maude

and I was always fascinated by her collection of little glass shoes.

They were everywhere,

tabletops, shelves and especially window sills

where the sunshine would make them 

SPARKLE!!

While on a trip West Virginia when I was 9 years old,

I found a beautiful little shoe covered in shells and glitter

and mom suggested I start my own collection.

All these years later I still have my collection....

here are a few of my shoes.

My 1st shoe -

48 years and countless moves later!!

You can kind of understand how 9 year-old me

fell in love with this little shoe.

Thanks for visiting if you would like to see more mosaics, check out -

Pantry Mosaic

when it still feels like winter!!

But I did manage, this week,

to get my pantry cleaned and organized!

More projects - and mosaics - await.......
