Being Thankful



Fall is upon us. The leaves are falling and some of them are bright red. Our thanksgiving is just around the corner. I truly believe that we need to concentrate on all of the things that we are grateful for; not just at this time of the year but everyday.
Someone once told me to make your life better is simple. Each night before you go to bed you must write down five things that you are grateful for. These are the last things that you think of before you fall asleep. She told me to do this every night.
You would be amazed how this can make you focus on the positive . Please give it a try. Have a wonderful day.

Love Always,
Kim

A Visitor in the Garden


I had a little visitor in the yard today. It was an unusually warm day for this time of year. I walked outside to greet this little creature. I just could not believe how small he was. So I took another picture. I placed my hand beside him to show you.


Nature is truly amazing. I hope you had a wonderful day!

Love Always,
Kim

New Treasures


These are my new treasures. I have a second-hand store in a little town about 15 minutes from home that I frequent. I love the shop because things are reasonably priced and there always seems to be new things to look at every time I go into the store. My favourite treasures are teacups, dishes, stemware and silver. I love furniture as well but it does seem that it takes longer to find the right piece no matter what you are looking for.
First I purchased the tray; it has little flower cutouts all around the edge. I found the cream and sugar set next. They are a good size so I will be able to use the service when company comes or if I have just one friend over to share some tea. I found the teapot the last time I was in. I love the shape of the teapot. It is not a set but I love my new tea service. It took me a while to get it clean so I could share it with you.

Love Always,
Kim

Sad News



Eva is gone. My husband found her underneath some ground cover at the back of our yard on Tuesday afternoon. We do not know how long she was there. We heard a terrible cat fight that woke us from a sound sleep on Saturday evening about 1 a.m. We could not tell if she was involved. She had been missing since Sunday morning but sometimes cats do that when they spend most of their time outside. We are very sad.

Love Always,
Kim
