This part of my blog is all about the things I collect or the things I make myself. I love so many things, I paint and draw and want to learn oils and pastels. I knit and crochet but want to learn tatting. I embroider and can turn my hand to most things given a chance. So much still to learn and do. I live in hope of some day reading all my books, learning all I want to learn and now I am learning to blog. You will often find my original poems, poor as they are I offer them here. I also appreciate other people art and will feature things I find that I have enjoyed. That includes pictures of fairies and fantasy or maybe just anything beautiful.
I try to use my own photo's as much as possible, sometimes I borrow from the web. If I inadvertently use your picture without giving credit, please do let me know and I will either credit or remove it, I hope you will do the same with mine.
If you wish to leave comments on my blog you can do that by joining google if you do not have a blog yourself, please comment if you can I appreciate that.

Samaritan's Closet..................

On our adventures yesterday we made our usual stop at Samaritan's Closet in lake leelanau. I really didn't need anything, I never do. I see it as a donation (sort of). Well I found a few things as I usually do. I guess I am looking now for things and ideas for the garden. I found this small pitcher and basin that I will put an Ivy in for the front porch maybe (or back)
Tell me why I can't resist "stuffies"? I bought a couple of puppies that were just so cute and a bear that jumped in my cart. Honest it did.
They have all found homes around the house (Till Tristen discovers them, even at his age he loves his stuffies). I also found a bird house that was signed and was rather nice.
I will spray that with some Krylene or whatever it's called, so the paint stays on. The Pansies are hand painted and it was just 2 dollars. The last thing is a very pretty mirror for a ladies purse. I have no use for it but will tuck it in with someones Christmas gift maybe.
In all it came to 10 dollars. I didn't linger at the books because a lady was working her way through the stash and I have books I am still working on so......next time maybe........I did put back a crystal sugar bowl.........I think if it's still there next time I won't resist. I use the pretty bowls to put my stones in. The Petoskey's and blues I find on the beach. I forgot to show the scarf I knitted for Gerry from the yarn I got at Samaritan's Closet. It turned out soft and quite nice
