Treasures and Mama Melon

This basket I found - like

always- at a garage sale.

Filled with fresh lavender

from my garden and primitive

creations from myself.

....jam and star with vintage girls
for my sons teacher as a little
Thank you at the end of the
schoolyear...

" LIVE WELL -

LAUGH OFTEN -

LOVE MUCH!"

...ooops - little spelling

mistake :)

To our children we can

give two things:

One is roots,

the other is wings .

How true, but not always

that easy!

One of my most favourite artists

was and still is my husbands

Grandma Gilmore. Her

paintings always expressed

her spirit to me. Loving

and meak, mild and

still burning for Jesus.

Sometimes I ask Jesus to

say "hello" to her in heaven.
Another nice memory is Grandma Gilmore´s Church Hymnal. Even though all these songs are

pretty old they express better than any new song what faith and believing in Christ means.

The key to the heart.....
Out of Mina´s collection I got some ooold keys hanging close to this selfmade heart.
Mina was also the one who gave me stickers in the shape of a keyhole.....pretty smart.

Who- by the way- is Mina?

Mina is a good friend and also believer in Christ, whoI believe put all this great creative potential into this wonderful gal. More about her you can see at http://Minasthisnthat.blogspot.com


One of my sons and Mama Melon ( made again by Mina) cuddle. Especially I like the hands and feet on Mama Melon - precise work!

.....tag on her says: I have a dream....
