Halcyon Days of Summer!

I am taking it easy this weekend, counting my blessings and getting a little R & R!
A favorite watercolor by Holly Kitaura of Hawaii. Picked up on one of our trips to that state.
This lady represents how I sometimes feel (there is a subliminal message in this painting)

 and it hangs in my kitchen.

MY BLUE CHRISTMAS PART II

Hi! 
Did you get a chance to have a cup of Nog? Maybe a latte or a cup of tea.
Well grab another, it's time for
~My Blue Christmas Part II~

If you missed Part I

As mentioned before we are traveling...not decorating.

I dug through pictures that I had taken before I started blogging. These are from 2009, I think!
The color scheme is still Blue, White and Silver.

Norman Rockwell and Hydrangeas

While visiting with my daughter Hollie 
last month, she asked me to arrange
some of her beautiful hydrangeas for her dining area.
 I selected this beautiful Waterford "Millennium" vase
to display the beautiful blossoms on her sideboard.
When Bob and I left for our visit with our daughters,
in early May, our hydrangeas were just starting
to flower.  Hollie was excited to show off her
gorgeous blooms and I was excited to see them. 
She cut enough for me to place all through her house. 
 I am staying in the dining area with my photos
because much of her collection of 
Norman Rockwell is in this room
 I wanted to share some of that collection with you.
This arrangement of Rockwell's prints is called
"Four Seasons Of Love".
Her sister found this collection 
in a thrift shop a few years ago.
Kim had them reframed and 
gave them to Hollie for Christmas.
All these colors on one blossom.
This one is Bob and me. In fact, Hollie 
duplicated this one in cross stitch for me.
It hangs in our breakfast room.

Isn't this couple the cutest? I would have
loved for this to be Bob and me. 
Alas, the physiques don't match.
My closeup of the youngest couple,
upper left, was blurred. It is
a young, barefoot, lad and a little lass
with various wildlife about.
This is Hollie's cross stitch rendition of
"Sunset (Puppy Love, Spooners)"
Her cross stitch looks
as neat on the back as it does on the front.
Her work it absolutely beautiful.


It was hard to get a photo of this piece because of glare.
This is titled"The Last Ear Of Corn"
The little boy is upset because grandpa is taking the last ear of corn. Look at the cobs piled around grandpa's plate.
This framed piece was presented to Bob 
by Green Giant Foods when he was a broker for them.
Another gift from her sister.
I think this may be a kitchen angel
since it has a halo!
Don't think she knows I 
am publishing her home.
Speaking of Halos!!
She and her sister are on a road trip.
Can we say Thelma and Louise?
Last I heard they were leaving the
BADLANDS
and headed for Sturgis, SD.
Dang it!
Make sure you act like ladies!
I'm watching you!


I hope you enjoyed taking a peek at my daughter's
house while she is away. She will never know.
