I'm sorry these pictures aren't clearer. My dad (who is 82), just gave me his dad's New Testament Bible. It is a little over 120 years old. It is dated 1886. Inside is a clipping from a revival that took place in 1907. I'm so excited to receive this little bible, but the sad thing is...my children will not be as excited or appreciate it, like I do.
It says...A home of her own Under the shade of two century old oak trees, Mikayla's playhouse offers all the comforts of home. Complete with gardens and a white picket fence and arbor, Mikayla's make-believe maison mirrors Mary's home on a preschool scale. Even the steep-roofed birdhouses hanging nearby echo the home's distinctive style(facing page).
I wish I had the money to totally re-do my whole house, cause I would love to have it look like Mary Engelbreit's home. I just love her taste in decorating.
Thought I would share this picture I found last week while shopping in an antique store, "Oh Deco Where Art Thou". I thought this was just the coolest!! The lady who made this, is from here in Georgia. She took different pieces of Georgia fern fronds and pressed them onto paper. She had also taken Georgia's state flower, pressed it on paper and framed it. She had a booth in this antique store, which was filled with eye candy.
As you can see, I haven't been blogging for awhile. I have been playing nursemaid to my sweet husband. He started coughing, so he went to the Dr. to get some medicine. Dr. said it was bronchitis. Anyway, long story short...he had blood clots in his lungs and close to his heart. They said he should have died, but God is in control and husband has survived! Praise the Lord! Husband has gone back to work for the first time in awhile, so I am trying to get caught up on some things that I have gotten behind on.
