~KYRA"S NEW PUPPY~
Good morning guys...Have you ever wanted to slap someone silly...of course you have...well my grandson Josh has been kidding with me since the day he could talk...Any way he called me last night and wanted to know if I had checked my email and seen the pictures he send me of Kyra's new puppy...told him No I been upstairs tearing off wall paper another story...If I ever get the urge to put up wall paper again I hope someone slap me silly !! Anyway he tells me he got a 3 month old BULL MASTIFF puppy for Kyra...I was so shocked I mean come on those dogs get HUGE and Kyra being a baby and everything going into her mouth...well you can imagine my horror at that...right away I ask Len about them and he says there not good with kids and what was he thinking...So Josh tells me they named him Moose and they need to get a saddle for Kyra to ride him...Oh another heart attack coming on here girls lol!! He finally tells me Grandma go check your email and you'll see just how cute he is....
This is what I thought I would see !!!
Oh but this is what he got...it's a YORKIE 3 month old male puppy that they did name MOOSE... Kyra thinks its a toy...
Now YORKIE"S are my favorite little dogs...I had 5 of these all at the same time...YES you heard me right....I had the Mama and daddy and 3 puppies that I would not sell by the time they were old enough to be sold...I mean how could you sell the children right... Josh was at my house the day the puppies were born in 1990....
Just look how small he is...weights a little over a pound...
This is that Bad Boy Josh holding him...sighs...I am going to Texas a month from today...Now I knew I was taking my BIG purse so I could sneak Kyra out but now I have to go shopping for yet another purse to bring them both home ha ha!! Oh I'll going to get that boy as soon as I get off the plane...ha ha!!

~FRENCHY BLUE~
Well Guys...It's let play with our dishes day...ha ha!! Be sure and go by and see our Hostess Susan at " Between naps on the Porch" to see everyone who is playing today...
I turned on the fountain for you....
I Love these "VASELINE" glasses...I have a set of 8 ca.1930
I turned on the fountain for you....
I Love these "VASELINE" glasses...I have a set of 8 ca.1930This is a brief History of Vaseline Glass....
Vaseline Glass was primarily made before WWII and one of the primary ingredients used to make the glass was uranium. When placed under a black light (or ultraviolet rays), vaseline glass will "glow" or fluoresce. The high energy emissions of electrons from the black light cause the uranium oxide particles in the vaseline glass to become unstable thereby causing this fluorescense. The way we like to describe the effect is that it causes the piece of vaseline glass to look like it has exploded in flames.
No other transparent antique glass will glow thus making vaseline glass truly unique in the antique world as it can always be verified to be true vaseline by using a black light. There is no other compound added to glass which will cause this effect except URANIUM. The yellow-green glow is characteristic of uranium-bearing glass and will also occur with custard and Burmese glass. The latter two glasses, however, are easily distinguished from Vaseline Glass in that they are not transparent.
Vaseline Glass can be difficult to detect by the human eye alone and even the best expert can be fooled. Only by testing with the black light will a piece be verifiable.
Vaseline Glass can be yellow, yellow-green, or green. Individual collectors each have their own preference as to the exact color of vaseline glass collected. However, as glassmakers of the 1920's - 30's added iron to their uranium oxide dyes to put a green tint into their glass and although these pieces will flouresce under a black light, it is our opinion that Green Vaseline Glass (with no trace of yellow) is only a forerunner of Depression Glass rather than true Vaseline Glass.
The government confiscated all supplies of uranium during WWII and halted all production of vaseline glass. Only in later years after nuclear testing, etc., was banned did the government ease restrictions somewhat and allow a very limited supply of uranium to glass companies in order to resume production of vaseline glass.
As the uranium supplies are closely monitored by the government and tightly distributed between various glass companies, even more recent pieces of vaseline glass are highly sought after by collectors as each is of a VERY LIMITED PRODUCTION.
Added some comfy cushions for you to lean back on...
Notice the sweet Roo's ...well today its all about the Birds....I shopped my house to find all the French Blues and Yellows for you today....Just so Frenchy Looking to me...

~LET"S GO SHOPPING~
Hello Guys...I thought I would show you a few more things from Second Sunday Swap meet....It's really Called the" Sacramento Antique Faire" But I always call it Second Sunday so I can remember what day of the month it on ha ha!! Hey I suffer from "Old Timers" now...There are over 300 dealers each month from Sacramento, San Francisco,Berkeley,Napa Valley, NO.Cal.Valley, Los Angeles, Utah and Oregon...Now you ca see why so many people love it...
Now I got this Brass bird cage just thought it would be cute in my Living Room....
Now Girls this Old wicker porch swing I just feel in love with...but someone had already bought it sighs.... The fountain was not a bad price $275.00 I seen them for more at the garden center without this much charm...
Also thought this would be cute out side...I could just see BJ, from "Sweet Nothings" doing a wonderful TT on this with all her Red...would it not just give it that POP...
And this wonderful Iron Urn is so Melissa From " Melissa's Heart and Home" would this not be pretty with all her wonderful Iron piece's she already has....
Can you ♥ a bike...Oh I just loved this sweet little thing...I could just picture this on my front porch with my big bike....
Now these just SCREAMED Shelia to me from " Note Songs" would she not a ball doing one of her great tablescapes with all these Darling Salt/peppers....
Hey Picklepoo did you find any you don't have ha ha!!
Now wouldn't Cass at " This Old House" just love these old toilets and sinks...
This I just thought was too cute...If I had room for it in my sun room I would have brought it home...Ha ha!!
Now this sweet Iron table and chairs with the watering can so reminded me of Glenda at " Tootsie Time" could you not see this on her great Stepping stone patio she just made...Yes Girls this Tootsie made her own patio with I think 58 bags of cement WOW!! If you haven't been to her blog...Please do yourself a Big favor and go see what she can do with her Greenhouse and yard...it's truly amazing...
Loved this "Morning Glory" RCA horn and Player...
My Granddaughter just loved this Robin egg Blue side board...It was only $195.00 not a bad price....
Loved all these sweet Pillows this gal had made from Vintages linen's...
All this Mercury Glass so reminded me of Lynne From "Lynne's Gifts from the Heart " And all these Cloche's are so her...
I could have used this for Marty "Cloche Party" the other day...was that not fun girls...I seen so many wonderful things you could do with Cloche's you ladies are just amazing what you came up with...THANKS Marty and everyone else for a fun day...
Now this little Chandy reminded me of something that Laurie from "Bargain Hunting with Laurie" would have and have Pearls stung on it... Or as her Hubby likes to call them the family Jewels ha ha!!
Now this Old Ship's Captain desk just SCREAMED My name...but will tell you that man that had this space was the all time rudest man I had ever met...It had no price on it...so me being the Antique shopper that I am asked him how much...He told me you are like the 50th person to ask me today...So listen real close because I am not going to repeat this again today...Right now it's $925.00 but if you come back at 2pm I will take bids for it...told him Sorry I didn't mean to bother him and didn't know I was at an auction...Wished him Luck and walked away...I mean come on this is a swap meet guy not "Butterfield" Auction house...All I can say is Thank God Daughter # 3 was not with me or that guy would have been wearing that desk where the "Sun don't Shine" ha ha!! She's my Daughter that came out "Swinging a purse and Chewing Gum"
Now this was the nicest Lady that had this space...I loved the way she had every thing displayed here...All her flowers were even real...Now I'm sure Sue from " A Stitch in Thyme" Would have loved some of these great things for her home and yard...Just Look Sue at that White Ironstone...are you doing your Happy Dance my friend....
These Old wicker chairs reminded me of Dot at " Picket's Place"
Now 20 years ago I would have loved to had this in my kitchen..I use to have my whole Kitchen done in Watermelons then....Gal wanted $100.00 for all ...not bad...
Now daughter # 2 loved this old truck...thought it would made a great coffee table...
Cute old stove...I could just picture this at "Ksarrasarra" With it's Marta Stewart's green color... This would look just wonderful in her home...
Now girls I would have loved to had this Old copper still just to sit in my kitchen as a conversation piece... Is is not too cool...Hey I told you before I march to a Guitar....ha ha!!
Saved the best for last...Found me a way to keep Len in tow....And NO I didn't buy it but should have after some of the jokes he have made about the "ole Ball and Chain...look it even has the key for it...
