THRIFT STORE FINDS AND NEW SHOP GOODIES

This precious little children's hanger looks like it's from the 40's or early 50's. It was just waiting for me at our little thrift store in Garden City, Mo. yesterday! Even with the stain on her face she is sweet!

This is it's new home in our master bathroom. Sorry about the glare!

This darling little Seafoam Green and Red Geranium tablecloth and window came from our new shop in Garden City, The M  & B's Mercantile

Going to add Wooden Red Stars and flags to this little handmade candle holder I found at the thrift store yesterday too!

Thought you might enjoy seeing my newest little 8"x10" original acrylic painting I did of zinnia's from my garden in a Blue Mason jar. It is for sale at $40.00 plus postage.

FANTASTIC BROOKSIDE ORGANIC FARMERS MARKET IN K.C., MO.

I COULDN'T GET OVER THE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL DISPLAYS!  I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT BAGS FULL IF I COULD HAVE AFFORDED IT! 

I TALKED TO THIS GROWER SHE SAID THEY GROW ABOUT 80 DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF TOMATOES!  WOW!  BUT I PICKED OUT ONE BEAUTIFUL BIG YELLOW TOMATO (SHE CALLED GEORGE) AND THEN WHEN SHE SAID THE  PRICE,  I HAD TO PUT GEORGE BACK! IT WAS ABOUT $4.00!

THESE LITTLE VASES OF FLOWERS REALLY CAUGHT MY EYE!

EVEN HAD MUSIC AT 9:00 A.M.

MY SISTER AND I WENT TO "TUESDAY MORNING' AFTER A YUMMY BREAKFAST AT "FIRST WATCH" AND I GOT A REALLY GOOD BUY ON THIS SOLAR BIRD (WHICH I THOUGHT NEEDED WHITE POLKA DOTS SO I GOT OUT MY BRUSH AND PAINT AND GAVE IT A MARLYNNE TOUCH)

FOR RIGHT NOW HE IS PERCHED BY THE BAIT BIRD HOUSE

ALSO GOT THIS NEAT HEART/CROSS WEATHERED YARD STAKE!  AFTER 3 OR 4 MORE THRIFT STORES WE HAD TO GO EAT AGAIN AT ANOTHER FAVORITE OF OURS "SWEET TOMATO" A FUN DAY!

CHEMO BREAK TIME AS WELL AS WORK TIME!

Menorah Hospital in K.C.,Mo. has a beautiful Arboretum!   Husband Maurice takes his Chem in an attached Medical Building, so I enjoy an after lunch break in this beautiful garden!

The butterfly's love  the "Butterfly Bushes" I've not had any luck growing them!

I spotted a couple of birds eating the hawthorn berries, but they flew away as I took the picture!

I walked across this bridge to go to the Waterfall. It was a lovely lovely sight!

Butterfly  houses!

I'm working on my little hexagons for "The Chemo Quilt". I'm in the same room with husband Maurice. We're there about 7 hrs. the first day and 4hrs the second.

Here's Maurice getting hooked up for another Chemo session. He  lays back in a recliner and sleeps most of the time!

This is one of the residents in the nursing home where we go once a month to share music. He is my inspiration for next years Santa!  He is a perfect one! He has played Santa for years but sometime before he came into the home he said they told him he was too old to play Santa! He said he told them "Santa is Forever"! I love this! I'm going to make a couple of boards with his face and that quote  on them this fall. Of course one will be for him!
