Share Your Cup Thursday #42

Hello my friends and welcome to another week of Share Your Cup.

With Winter surrounding many of us, what better way to chase away the blues than by sharing what makes you happy?

First I have a couple of things to share with you.  Last week I mentioned that I would be doing a give away in honor of 700 followers and my approaching blog anniversary.  The romantic side of me fell in love with this sweet snack set.  When I went shopping to find something to go with it I found this darling ruffled apron and oven mitt combo.  The green and pink roses are perfect for welcoming Spring.  And of course, what good is a snack set without a snack? lol!  Pastel Jordan Almonds would do the trick for me.  ( I have to mention that when I opened the snack set I saw that there is a slight chip on the cup.  I felt as though it didn’t take away from it’s charm)

I’m keeping it simple:  Just leave a comment and you are in.  I will draw the winner next Weds. morning and announce it at SYC.

The second thing I wanted to share with you is “When blogging friends meet”.  Last Saturday I went to a fun sale called, “Fleaology”.  As I approached the first booth I spied something that caught my eye. This cute library box.  When I looked up to ask the vendor if it was hers I said, “Are You Paula?”.  Yup, she was Paula from Pollyanna Reinvents

Now, I knew that she was part of this show and I was going to look for her.  But, the first person I encountered?  Now, that was meant to be.  Here are the two of us.  Am I cheesing it or what?  Guess I was just so happy to meet her!  And look at my eye wrinkles!  Oh well, a sign of happiness.

One more pic and then on to the features.  I just had to share this.  At one of the booths this cat that belonged to the owner of Olson’s Greenhouse (nope, no relation) where the event was held jumped up into this display and decided it was nap time.  Too, too cute!

Now the fab five features:  Also, remember that I am not featuring any Valentine links.  Saving those to feature when I share my posts of ‘Showing a little Love’ starting Feb. 1st.

I love Dru’s Farmhouse Bath.  Everything about it is so sweet, but I adore this little clothesline!  Visit her at Country Farm Home to see more.

Debra from Homespun brightened my day with her Spring blooms.  Hope she does yours!

I love vintage flour sacks, but they are not always easy to come by.  Look at this charming table runner Art & Sand created by using a little paint.

Look at this darling work bench painted by Laurie from Heavens Walk.  Can you believe she bought it in a kit?  And you won’t believe the price!

The pin junkie got my mouth watering when she shared this stuffed Portobello mushroom.

I love visiting your blog. I love collecting old things.

I was wondering if you have any interest in pitcher and bowl sets? Or if you know anything about them. I used to collect them, and have a beautiful blue and white set with the date 1898 on it.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Jann, Congratulations on a very successful blog. I see you've gone over your seven hundred followers. Wow! What a great give away. I don't think a chip on the cup matters one bit, adds to the charm. The fabric used for the mitt combo is beautiful. Love the roses. All great features, thanks for hosting.

Connie said...

Hello Jann, Wow!!! What an interesting and lovely post. I have enjoyed my visit so much. I love everything in your first photo; I am a sucker for little pink rose buds. How exciting to meet Paula, and the two of you look beautiful in that photo. Two happy girlfriends.

I can not wait to see what you have in store for us on your "Showing a little Love" post. I'll be back:)

In regard to the comment you left on my journal post:
If you look in my archives under Cards and Journals, and go back a ways, you will fine a few posts of my garden journal. You don't even have to doodle in it that much, decorate your pages with pictures you cut from your seed packages. Our dollar store has a scrapbook section and in the spring there are all things of stickers and rub on's with spring and garden themes. You will have so much fun making it, and it is a great tool to refer back to each year. I know what you are talking about with each day being filled with little prayers and thank you's to our Lord . . . that's what He wants . .at your children and how very much you love them, them multiply it by a million or so . . . He loves you more than you will ever know :)
Have a joy filled day and thanks so much for stopping by and visiting.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
