Whimsical Cottage: Dear Ruth

Thursday, December 16, 2010

Everybody meet Ruth.

A friend at church made her for us for Christmas. Isn't she sitting pretty?

I'm just crazy about her.

Vintage Christmas reindeer, carolers, Santas...
Nesting dolls.
Small metal globe banks...and all other globes too.
Tiny oil cans with long spouts.
Clean sheets.
Gold stars.
Old jars, with metal lids like Tang and Peter Pan Peanut Butter.
School.
S&H green stamps, globes, old toys.
Yellow Labs. Especially Gabby and Clara.
Stories.
Cardinals. The birds, not the team.
Pink with red.
Snow days.
Going junking...at thrift stores, junk stores, antique malls, garage sales. Love that!
Stories about the things I collect.
Vintage tablecloths. Linens.
Reading aloud to my students.
White chenille bedspreads.
Golden retrievers.
Red. The answer is always RED.
