A TOUR OF SISTER JUDY'S DARLING COTTAGE AND HOME

Sister Judy's Precious Cottage now a darling garden shed.

She hopes to fix the back porch up for 3 season living someday too!

RIght now the #1 goal is complete recovery from knee surgery!

Her little Sweet Victoria will sure be glad to have her back hone too!

So while I stayed up at her house nights I took some more pictures of her darling little arrangements here there and everywhere! This is one of her original baby dolls in and old rocker in the front room.

I forget the name of this mannequin, which she dresses for the seasons. She loves the green Majolica  pieces too!

Another one of her old doll babies and lots of pretty old china!

Such a pretty kitchen eating area!

Judy loves the old white stoneware especially with the green trim. Also Polish Pottery which you see some of in the china cabinet.

Eye Candy Everywhere!

Cottage Tea Set brought in from the Cottage after the snake took up residence!

Such a pretty Bed and Room too!

She has lots of pretty dresses hanging around; adult and children.

Her newest find! Avon Lady Thimbles! She even found some for me! Mother sold Avon so they have extra meaning for us!

Judy has so much fun finding these darling little children's clothes  at Thrift Stores to display

She even tried her hand at crocheting this flag quilt

Family Room Window Treatment!  I think you will agree with me that sister Judy  is really good at arranging fun, happy cozy and beautiful settings for the eye to feast on! Hope you'll visit my other blog also www.mcreatesdaily.blogspot.com  Blessings!

CELEBRATING INDEPENDENCE DAY AND MAURICE'S 80TH AT ARROW ROCK, MO.

My newest little creation setting on the kitchen table for the holidays!

The seasonal shelf in the kitchen is ready for Independence day too!

I was so happy to see the new owners of our child raising home  at 121 W. 61st Terr in K.C..Mo. turned on the gas lights on the porch columns! The owners after us never did and that made me sad! We had bought those lamps one year for our anniversary and I always loved them and the house and the neighborhood too! But the Farm was calling Maurice!

I left these little handmade cards along the way on our trip usually with a little thank you note for their service along with a tip.

This is Bunny's Bed and Breakfast in Arrow Rock where we stayed.

We were so blessed to make friends with this group of childhood friends from St Louis area who were staying there too! They invited us to join them for dinner at The Tavern and ride with them to the play (Oliver) at the Lycium.!

Bunny fixed Biscuits and Gravy per the guys request and a yummy fruit bowl and coffeecake for the girls!!

Pictured in the center are:  Bunny's Husband and Bunny.

The Boardwalk  and Brick Streets are always fun!

Pretty Buckets of flowers even with the heat!

The Galvanized Buckets are so neat too!

I forgot to take a picture of the darling Lyceum Theater (Former Baptist Church) so took a picture of an advertisement!

Great Grandson Eli spent the day with us today, but the cartoons were calling him away from picture taking!

Maurice has a nest in the barn every year of barn swallows. He enjoys watching there comin and goin! So far no snakes!

I finished Susan's last book in here life series. Hated to have it end! Just loved it!!!

Another inspiring flight of stairs to paint! I love the tiles!!!

I have my beautiful Patriotic Wreath  that cousin Janell made me last year on the backdoor. now. Another picture I can't find!  I've got to copy all the gillions of pictures on my computer to some disks so it's easier to find the ones I want! Happy Holidays to you too! Blessings!

EUREKA SPRINGS & MAURICE'S 80TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION!

Love the Tree Huggers!  Judy here is a use for out Granny Square Kits!

I need to make enough for one small tree. But I need more lessons Judy since I didn't even get one completed!

Little Fairy Potting Shed.

One Lone Hollyhock. Another plant I love that doesn't do well for me! I used  to have them up by the cottage.

So much creativity!

Bought rocks and Slag glass here!

Even got a bag of small pieces to sprinkle around my stepping stones in the blue bottle garden

Cute Doggie Planter!

How Fun! I miss our Camper!

My attempt at a Selfie while waiting for the trolley after lunch.

The best place to eat in Eureka for a big salad bar. Delicious meals also. The Locals go here! It's in one of the Best Western's.

Here is Maurice blowing out his 80 candles on Sunday Morning at refreshments between services. He actual left one not blown out to assure another birthday he said!
