Blue Monday - Roses are full

My roses on the side of our home (where we can't enjoy from our deck)  are in full bloom.    I cut some this weekend and brought them indoors to enjoy.

My blue and white flower plot looks so pretty with a large bouquet of roses.

ABC Wednesday - Letter O

My word today for ABC Wednesday is ORNATE.

Aren't these beautiful examples of ORNATE lettering.  How often do we see this in use today.  Maybe on an elegant wedding invitation.

My husband and I are both members of our local Woodworking Guild, this is an example of ORNATE Intarsia created by David Roth from our guild.  He uses lots of differnt colors of wood to achieve this fabulous results.

His inspiration was this drawing by Leonardo da Vinci.

Blue Monday

I'm doing a lot of work on my new blog "Lest We Forget" and this picture came to mind for Blue Monday.  You can visit my new blog on my sidebar.

This picture was taken of my Granda Jewell (in the middle) and my two great-aunts Bertha and Dorothy.  Didn't my Grandma have the sweetest smile ever!!! We all miss her so much.

The blue scallop on the house is to cute and Grandma and Dorothy are both wearing blue tops.

Pink Saturday - Some Pink Trivia

How many remember this album?   My husband loves everything about the PINK PANTHER.  We loved to listen to this album and watch the Pink Panter movies. Such fun.

We still have shelves of albums and can't see getting rid of them any time soon.


MY FAVORITE LINE FROM THE PINK PANTHER MOVIES:

Agent Clouseau to the Clerk:     Does your dog bite?

Clerk:                                          No

Agent Clouseau                          Bends down to pet dog - dog bites him

Agent Clouseau to Clerk             I thought you said your dog dont bite.

Clerk:                                           Thats not my dog!!!!!

Think I'll rent this movie this week.

Vintage Thingie Thursday

I haven't been shopping in awhile for new (I mean old stuff)  to share with you lately.  But I did find one item at a thrift store going out of business last week.

I found this old spool of white thread that I really like.

I sat it on top of an old wooden spool and also used a green roll of thread. I like the way the green top  of the white spool matches the green thread.   Added a few pieces of old jewelery I had.  I sat this on my craft table.  Seems to add a little inspiration when I'm working on projects.

ABC Wednesday - Letter N

Do you like your NICKNAME? Did you get tagged with a nickname that fits you?

NICKNAME is a pet name, label, diminutive, epithet, sobriquet, familiar name, moniker or monicker (slang) handle (slang)
Collins Thesaurus of the Eng. language


After researching on the internet I found so many fun quizzes, games to play to see if your NICKNAME fits your personality.

Almost everybody thats well-known gets tagged with a NICKNAME - Alan Alda

These are some of the NICKNAMES that I thought of as I did this post.

Old Blue Eyes
Honest Abe
The Boss
Teddy
The Duke
King of Rock n Roll

The States of the US - all have NICKNAMES:

Kansas - The Sunflower State
Missouri - Show Me State

I don't find these to complementary.



Do you or did you ever call your little girl your

 

There are thousands of example of NICKNAMES out there and so much fun researching some of them.

Have a fun ABC WEDNESDAY
