Time is flying by so quick I can't keep up. Here are a few photos of our tree this year. I really like the way these photos turned out. Here are a few pics of some of my favorite ornaments. </div><div> </div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285760362450685282" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kB-o71LVm4A/SVrLC2O2jWI/AAAAAAAAAO4/7NTTysIFv0E/s320/xmas2008.jpg" />This first one is actually a baby boot. I found just one at the flea market in a box lot and had to have it. I could not find the other but it turned out to be a beautiful addition to the tree. It has a leather bottom, soft pink silk and fur inside. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285760397610231474" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kB-o71LVm4A/SVrLE5NiprI/AAAAAAAAAPY/Soju98daw04/s320/xmas20084.jpg" />I forgot I had this angel tree topper and found it among my things. I didn't realize how old it really is. Just love the little girl die cut. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285760387410618754" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kB-o71LVm4A/SVrLETNw6YI/AAAAAAAAAPQ/Wi1Ls6_qjw4/s320/xmas20083.jpg" />The clip on bird was another flea market find. Found a whole box of them! Could not believe it! The dog on a ball was part of a lot I purchased on <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">ebay</span> this year. I think it was over 100 ornaments. You can never have too many!! </div><div><div> </div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285760381390186578" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kB-o71LVm4A/SVrLD8yYaFI/AAAAAAAAAPI/udrITigDUdU/s320/xmas20082.jpg" /></div></div></div></div> <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285760370062049698" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kB-o71LVm4A/SVrLDSliwaI/AAAAAAAAAPA/0w3bMlQz2SY/s320/xmas20081.jpg" />The baby face was another ornament from the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">ebay</span> lot. This is probably one of my favorites.

Happy Birthday to Shar!! Happy Birthday to Me!!! I had a very nice birthday. My mother called me first thing this morning to say hello. Her calls are always a nice morning wake up call. I worked all day and ran errands at lunch. Just a normal work day. My husband and his family took me out to eat @ Olive Garden tonight. It was very nice. The food was great and the company was even better. Thank you so much for a wonderful birthday. I have some pics of the babies trying to get in the birthday cake but I'll have to load them tomorrow. I definitely need to do some updating and bring myself up to speed.

Embroidered with a cupid between two lovers. The lady has stolen the gentleman's sword leaving him totally disarmed. Could have been a personal possession of Marie Antoinette the Queen of France. This lovely piece came from the Mrs. Horace Dodge estate in Detroit Michigan. Here is an article about <a href="http://info.detnews.com/redesign/history/story/historytemplate.cfm?id=97&amp;CFID=12313907&amp;CFTOKEN=16339904">Mrs. Horace Dodge </a>and her purchases with the art consultant Sir Joseph <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Duveen</span>. The fan was sold by Frank Boos of the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Antiques</span> Roadshow. It was purchased in the 1970's at his shop in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Could this be the Queen of France Marie Antoinette and Count Axel <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">von</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Fersen</span> the Swedish <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">ambassador</span> ca 1784?

It is the sweetest little bisque doll in a shoe ornament. Her shoe is made of compostion or wood with a mohair covering. The bisque doll is an early flat top type with jointed arms and bent knee legs, and is wearing a diaper. It dates to about 1880.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3731578740926483440-589314820957660098?l=shabbychicshar.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sharolyn Perryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02240684739133124993noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3731578740926483440.post-67641525896721490592008-08-26T08:53:00.002-04:002008-08-26T09:01:42.355-04:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kB-o71LVm4A/SLP-CUjuYDI/AAAAAAAAAII/kEMWAHEItN4/s1600-h/albeakersside.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238810107393761330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kB-o71LVm4A/SLP-CUjuYDI/AAAAAAAAAII/kEMWAHEItN4/s200/albeakersside.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div>I found these beakers on Ulla's blog today and instantly fell in love.

My DH found him in the middle of Broad River Rd while he was working Saturday night. He called me at 1:30 a.m. and said meet me outside. I really had no idea what he was going to bring home. DH said that he saw him fly out from under an SUV like a piece of paper. He wasn't sure what it was until he stopped and saw that it was a baby kitten. Isn't he cute? </div> <div></div> <div>He has made a fast recovery and goes for his first check-up in the morning. </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3731578740926483440-4610118626897318681?l=shabbychicshar.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sharolyn Perryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02240684739133124993noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3731578740926483440.post-50549993740340040662008-06-29T20:39:00.003-04:002008-06-29T20:46:35.268-04:00<div align="center"><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_kB-o71LVm4A/SGgsJIku-CI/AAAAAAAAAGw/vJe-ZcgD2ew/s1600-h/tashatudor.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217468703740721186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_kB-o71LVm4A/SGgsJIku-CI/AAAAAAAAAGw/vJe-ZcgD2ew/s200/tashatudor.jpg" border="0" /></a> August 28, 1915 - June 18, 2008 </div><div align="center"> Tasha Tudor was the one person that I always said I would want to be when I "grow up". She reminded me so much of my grandmother. I love the way she was able to live her life in such a simple manner with her garden, creations and pets. Just what I want to be. She will always be loved and remembered. I hope that we all can live just a little like she did. </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3731578740926483440-5054999374034004066?l=shabbychicshar.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sharolyn Perryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02240684739133124993noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3731578740926483440.post-77306578835852228912008-06-10T08:13:00.004-04:002008-06-10T08:29:57.283-04:00<a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_kB-o71LVm4A/SE5yDBXKQXI/AAAAAAAAAGI/7ow0zm8rcCA/s1600-h/tea9.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210227215144993138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_kB-o71LVm4A/SE5yDBXKQXI/AAAAAAAAAGI/7ow0zm8rcCA/s200/tea9.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_kB-o71LVm4A/SE5yDcqx1TI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/STwM8CoY8Zg/s1600-h/tea17.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210227222475035954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_kB-o71LVm4A/SE5yDcqx1TI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/STwM8CoY8Zg/s200/tea17.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_kB-o71LVm4A/SE5yDxERuII/AAAAAAAAAGY/esJ2P3ePeno/s1600-h/tea16.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210227227950692482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_kB-o71LVm4A/SE5yDxERuII/AAAAAAAAAGY/esJ2P3ePeno/s200/tea16.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_kB-o71LVm4A/SE5yENtPTfI/AAAAAAAAAGg/6PPotjH2aRU/s1600-h/tea8.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210227235638693362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_kB-o71LVm4A/SE5yENtPTfI/AAAAAAAAAGg/6PPotjH2aRU/s200/tea8.JPG" border="0" /></a> <div>I had the privilege of hosting a wonderful tea party for my girlfriends this past weekend. No reason in particular, just a chance for women to "play tea party" with their friends. We dined on tea sandwiches made of cumcumber, chocolate hazelnut scones, cupcakes, and mini quiches. Of course we drank tea and enjoyed a couple cocktails. Here are a few photos of our wonderful afternoon.</div> Thank you to Leslie of<span style="color:#009900;"> <a href="http://southernstems.blogspot.com/">Southern Stems</a> </span><span style="color:#333333;">for the beautiful centerpiece of pink peonies and to Melanie of </span><span style="color:#663333;"><a href="http://murphyweddings.wordpress.com/">By Invitation Only </a></span><span style="color:#333333;">for making the cumcumber tea sandwiches and taking the beautiful photographs. </span> <p>And thank you to all my girlfriends for a wonderful afternoon! </p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3731578740926483440-7730657883585222891?l=shabbychicshar.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sharolyn Perryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02240684739133124993noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3731578740926483440.post-19184778120637641242008-05-30T07:46:00.002-04:002008-05-30T07:49:31.160-04:00<a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_kB-o71LVm4A/SD_pnNr9_rI/AAAAAAAAAE4/yxJEwLWWzK8/s1600-h/bloom1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206136554161831602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_kB-o71LVm4A/SD_pnNr9_rI/AAAAAAAAAE4/yxJEwLWWzK8/s200/bloom1.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_kB-o71LVm4A/SD_pndr9_sI/AAAAAAAAAFA/mSRY4pxsfyk/s1600-h/bloom.JPG"></a> <a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_kB-o71LVm4A/SD_pn9r9_tI/AAAAAAAAAFI/6ImBv2ZayEI/s1600-h/bloom2.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206136567046733522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_kB-o71LVm4A/SD_pn9r9_tI/AAAAAAAAAFI/6ImBv2ZayEI/s200/bloom2.JPG" border="0" /></a> <div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3731578740926483440-1918477812063764124?l=shabbychicshar.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sharolyn Perryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02240684739133124993noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3731578740926483440.post-18028793250189025102008-04-30T21:38:00.001-04:002008-04-30T21:50:17.669-04:00<a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_kB-o71LVm4A/SBkhu3qQx2I/AAAAAAAAAEI/xLi1ac6_b8A/s1600-h/purpleiris.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195220734247487330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_kB-o71LVm4A/SBkhu3qQx2I/AAAAAAAAAEI/xLi1ac6_b8A/s200/purpleiris.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_kB-o71LVm4A/SBkhvXqQx3I/AAAAAAAAAEQ/6j17cvepqJM/s1600-h/iris1-042908.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195220742837421938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_kB-o71LVm4A/SBkhvXqQx3I/AAAAAAAAAEQ/6j17cvepqJM/s200/iris1-042908.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_kB-o71LVm4A/SBkhvnqQx4I/AAAAAAAAAEY/jeXzpcCmRts/s1600-h/iris-042908.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195220747132389250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_kB-o71LVm4A/SBkhvnqQx4I/AAAAAAAAAEY/jeXzpcCmRts/s200/iris-042908.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div>"If you want to be happy, be." - Leo Tolstoy</div> <div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3731578740926483440-1802879325018902510?l=shabbychicshar.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sharolyn Perryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02240684739133124993noreply@blogger.com1
