Blue Friday...

Hey there!  If you're a long time follower here, you might suddenly realize (since I'm mentioning it) you never see much blue here ~ no blue stitchy, no blue stuff, no blue anything ~ until now!  I like blue very much, but our interior furnishings are mostly old red paint, chests, dough box, tiger maple and such.  But... ever since dear friend Peggy of Kentucky Sampler shared Master Chief's Blues, I've been thinking of sharing the Blues!

This small collection is truly the only blue vignette in our home, except for many other Blues wrapped up in storage.  Let me explain.  They belong to hubs, a/k/a the Ultimate Hoarder, loooong before reality TV.  His first job was a *runner* at an auction house at 13, he learned well and started collecting right then and there.  Then he taught me.  Fast forward a few too many years ~ we're swimming in everything old here.

These are high up in the kitchen, I heaved out the ladder to dust today, it never ends does it ~ ugh...

This is my favorite, very tall, it says *Improved Butter Jar*, can you just imagine!  Improved from what exactly? LOL!

 

There you go, finally a Blue post.  Anyone else wanna share their Blues?  Wishing you all a wonderful weekend:)

New To Me...

Hello Sweet Stitchers!


Wanted to share a new to me site called A Stitcher's Pen, great resource for textile blogs.  You can add your stitchy blog too.  If you spend tooooo much time there, as I have just done, please don't blame the messenger ~ just walk away ~ lol:)


Go to my sidebar for the link.

If you like this kind of database referral please leave a comment and I'll try to be more diligent in sharing similar sites.

My sweet thanks for poppin' in.  Please do enjoy your day ~ come what may:)

Olde Dame Penniwig

Morning my Sweets, thank you kindly for your recent comments ~ and an extra sweet howdy to my new followers, so great of you to stop by!  It's yet another cool, dreary and damp day here in the NYS Finger Lakes, and a great time to catch up on reading.  My heartfelt good wishes remain with those affected by the devastating storms across our country, may their lives be soon filled with healing, peace and love... 

Can I share a musing about blogging?  My first blogger contact was from Olde Dame Penniwig aka Holly, who without  knowing it, reminded me of the power of reaching out, and how a few gentle, kind or encouraging words can warm the cockles.  The warmth of friendship ~ easy, spirited, loving yet unencumbered ~ don't we wish all relationships were that easy?  If any of you are contemplating starting a blog, I encourage you to do so ~ you'll love the rewards. 


Once again the Olde Dame has generously offered us a freebie of digital/downloadable tags/labels, this freebie is *sewing*  themed (YAY!).  Printable on manilla folder, card stock or heavy weight paper, whatever you have on hand.  I like to keep things simple, punch a hole/add twine and use to adorn prim gifts or enjoy as a bookmark.  Here's her blog Penniwigs.  If you scroll backwards you'll find many other freebie tags on her blog, she's a peach!

And ~ you won't want to miss Penniwigs Etsy.  You'll find two new hang tag offerings, *Sewing* (vintage) and *Potions*  (wickedly delightful).  Oh, and Holly keeps her Etsy prices very affordable:)

Wishing each of you a sweet day filled with the warmth of friendship...

H~o~p~p~y Easter

There's something special about Easter traditions, they're really nice aren't they?  Yeppers, I confess, I posted this image here last Easter, 'cause it makes me giggle like a five year old, and reminds me to not take myself too seriously.  Chances are you might see it here again next Easter:)

My sincere appreciation to each of you who've reached out, read my posts and made time to leave a comment or just say *hey* over the last couple years.  The time we spend together is a joy and I'm perpetually grateful for each friend of the heart:)

Wishing one and all a bountiful, joyous and love filled Happy Easter... sprinkled with a giggle, from me to you:)

Tootles, Sue
