Something Old, New, Borrowed, and Blue

Well did that post title catch your eye, eh?  Did you stop and say, woozers I thought Angela was in her 50's , happily married to Mr. P., and is she not the one with that cute granddaughter, Darbee Rae?  Well, yes you are right on all of the above and actually this post has nothing to do with marriage, or even weddings at all. But I do have something old to share with you.

Since I just told you how old I am, let me say when I got married and started decorating my own house "country" was in.  You know, cows, ducks , those long neck geese.  Well I was the only one of my friends that loved that stuff.  When we got married 2 littlle old ladies from my Daddy's church made me bonnets.  These bonnets have been stored away for years but I could never part with them. Today I found them and brought them out of hiding.

The brim on the beige one is attatched with oodles of buttons.  And age has really done it well.  When I put it away, it was snow white.  Today I didn't even have to stain it.  And here is my Blue, the blue print bonnet.  The stitching on this one is not very good, but that doesn't matter.  These two old ladies have long since gone to meet their maker and these bonnets are special to me.  Look on the inside of the blue one.

There is netting sewn inside.  Never remembered it being there.  Wonder why? Okay there you have something old and blue. Now for something borrowed, blue, and new all in one.  Look at what Mr. P made for me

No, it's not my original idea.  Saw it on Funky Junk Interiors and Susan at Homeroad made one similar but changed her handle.  The borrowed part of my picture is the old brace.  Mr. P. collects old tools and this one actually belonged to my Daddy.  Before we sold the homeplace he took it from Daddy's woodworking shop.  So that makes it even more special.  I had to assure him this  old box was for me and not to sell. It will sit on my craft room table if I ever get it cleaned off enough.  Am I the only one to admit when I am crafting my room stays in one big mess!!!!

Okay, I had a great day at home today.  Got to make a few things and finish up some that have been started for awhile.  I know it's just July, but hey, Sept and my show will be here too soon. 

Got this bowl of pumpkin pods made, priced and ready to go.

Also got all these spooky ghost done .  Sorry about the pitcher.  At the show they will not be displayed this way.  Just didn't have anything to stand them up in inside.  They are made from muslin, painted and the covered in stained cheese cloth.

A little better picture showing the ghost up close. 

So there you have my somethings old, somethings new, one thing borrowed from Mr. P. and somethings blue. And let me add another rare occassion with you.  I have made two post in one day.  WOOHOO!!

Hoping all of you had a great day and are sharing the evening with someone you love.  Tomorrow is another day and we will talk then....
