Little Bity Treasure

Do you have any precious keepsakes from your parents?  I sure do.  I have been looking through them recently and wondering about the story behind each one of them.

Like....where did you get it?  Who gave it to you?  How old is it?  Why was it special to you?

Oh how I wish I had asked my parents more questions about things in life that I took for granted.  But I didn't. 

Anyway... I wanted to share some pictures of one special Little Treasure that belonged to my mother, Mildred M. Treadaway.

The only thing I know about this piece is that it was Mama's when she was a small child, and on the bottom it says made in Japan.  Green was my mother's favorite color, so I know she must have really liked this.

It is so dainty and small.  The saucer has yellowed a little in the center from age, but it is still so beautiful.

Here is a perspective of how small it really is.  I always handle it wish such care, and pray I don't break it.

And here is my Little Treasure again :)  I hope to share some more of my Treasures with you soon.  What special keepsakes do you have? 

Don't forget, if your parents are still living, to ask them lots of questions about their life and special things.  Then you will be able to pass the information along to your family for generations.  Oh what stories you could tell :)

Lamentations 5:19

You, O LORD, reign forever;

your throne endures from

generation to generation.

Have a blessed Monday friends :)

WHEEL-BARROW

PROJECT

The other day I was on-line looking at gardening pictures, and saw several post with folks taking their old wheel-barrows and using them as a planter.  And that gave me and idea.  My hubby and I have a old plastic wheel-barrow that we didn't like very much because it would not roll when you placed something in it.  What good is that I ask ya!!!   

            After getting my sweet hubby's ok I started on my

                                   Wheel-Barrow Project :)

What did I do next you ask?  Well I went to WALMART of course.  The BESTEST shopping place in the WORLD, and selected some fine flowers for my project. 

Next I needed some drain holes in the bottom of the barrel.  So I borrowed my Sweet Handsome Hubby's drill.......actually he drilled the holes for me.  Such a kind man he is to me :) 

Flip and drill, so easy.  Notice this is my hand holding the drill not Hubby's.  I had to re-enact this part myself.  He was not available for pictures!!!!!  HA HA HA

DONE :)

Next the dirty work.....The barrel was very deep and I didn't want to fill it completely with expensive potting soil.  I got out my handy yard rake and gathered up some of those annoying gum balls, pine straw and dead leaves to fill the bottom with.  I hope it will be a good mulch for my flowers.

Next added 2 bags of Walmart's finest Potting Mix by Miracle Grow.  And spread, spread, spread it around.  Can you tell I like taking pictures?   It's a hobby of mine in case you haven't figured it out yet HA HA HA HA :)

THE REVEAL, AINT IT PURTTY!

Added a few touches of BLING-BLING for my BELOVED GRAND-CHILDREN to enjoy looking at.  A little solar light.

And a White Bunny

My finished Wheel-Barrow Project.  I think it looks much better now than just sitting empty by the side of the house.  Another good thing about it is I can move it around in the yard when the flowers need shade or cover from a storm.  Maybe I need to make another one!!!!

I hope you enjoyed me sharing my project with you through pictures today. 

                                           Genesis 1:12

The land produced vegetation; plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds.  And GOD saw that it was good.

Have a blessed day :)

This picture of the ocean was taken on our family vacation to the Bahamas two years ago.  The water was so beautiful with its many colors of blue.  I thought the picture was to special to just sit filed away on my computer. 

Thank you Lord for your beautiful creation for us to enjoy and treasure. Amen
