Last pics until the curtains

This is it,

no more pictures until I receive the curtains!

 

I promise.

A bird for the birdcage

and

some berry vine.

 

My sister warned me that

a

birdcage with a floral arrangement

looks like a tribute to a dead bird.

She likes birds,

I, however, think that a dead bird...

well...

I guess we will just leave my opinion of birds

out of this post.

 

 

My thimble collection.

Started when I was a little girl

and

for many years stored away.

Dad carved the scissors for me.

 

Not sure about this,

I like both displays,

just don't know if I like them that close together.

And the Hoosier being put to good use.

 

This was in my Mom's neighbor's house when I was growing up.

 

I always liked it,

even as a little girl.

When my Mom had to go somewhere,

which wasn't that often

because she didn't have a car for years.

We would go to

Miss Braden's house for lunch.

You see,

until I was in high school,

we walked home everyday for lunch.

Mother's didn't work outside the home

in the olden days!

 

Miss Braden would fix us lunch

and

everything came out of this cupboard.

 

I can still remember sitting at her

kitchen table

and

eating lunch.

 

We really thought those days were special!

 

Miss Braden was an avid seamstress

and

she made many of my dresses when I was in elementary school.

 

She taught my Mom to sew and quilt and I still have that

first quilt that my Mom made for me.

 

I think that the sewing room

is an appropriate place

for

Miss Braden's cupboard!
