I have a new stocking with a BELL ON THE TOE....

HEY, EVERYONE 
A WHOLE NEW YEAR....can you believe it ? I am so tickled to start a new year with Mr. Sweet, a new home coming soon, my beautiful family all healthy and near....well, except for one grand living in Portland. He is healthy and happy and that's all I ask. :) We are already planning a trip to see him in the summer.

Regarding my 75th birthday celebration....
I have a few photos...on my DESK TOP, which just DIED.
Naturally, I deleted the photos off my camera...
sooo....
I'll show the photos WHEN I CAN.......
or IF I CAN RESCUE THEM.
***
Potpourri  is a mixture of dried, naturally fragrant plant material, used to provide a gentle natural scent inside buildings, most commonly in residential settings. It is usually placed in a decorative (often wooden) bowl, or tied in small sachet made from sheer fabric.
OR
  it can be placed in the CUTEST OF STOCKINGS....

...just like the one
I WON...
just before Christmas.


Isn't this just precious !!

It has a golden BELL on the toe....

I just LOOOOVE it.




Thanks so much to LINDA of
WHITE WEATHERED HUTCH.....

She sews like no bodies business...

stop by and check her cute blog out...her cute, curly hair...(i am green with envy...i ADORE curls)
She sews the prettiest things....
I am thrilled to have a piece she made.
hugs, bj

    You sound very calm when you wrote...
    "I have a few photos...on my DESK TOP, which just DIED".
    I would have been having a fit.

    So cute!
    And sorry to hear about your computer. I hate it when that happens. But - computers do die, so I guess it's just something we have to learn to prepare for. :-(
