MIRROR...MIRROR ON THE WALL.......

I know....this is a picture of a sofa AND NOT A MIRROR.....but there is a reason.

I just received the most fabulous mirror from one of the best stores in Kansas.

In some of my previous posts I have indicated that sweet hubby and I do some traveling in a motor home. We go all over the country....and have quite a good time. Anyway....we were in Kansas City, MO.....a fabulous city I might add; and I saw an add for a little store across the bridge in Praire Village, KS named CURIOUS SOFA. With a name like that I could not resist; so we went on over for a look. I bought a few little things and we continued on our journey. That was over two years ago.

Well....since I've started blogging, I ran across Curious Sofa's blog and I check in periodically Low and behold.......last time I checked in I saw this.......

I usually would not post about stuff I buy; but this find was so beautiful and special I wanted to share it with you.

I love the little finial on the top.....it unscrews, and the mirror is in that perfect state

of old and chippy.

I love mirrors; and have many hanging in my home. I think it is because of the light reflection and what the mirror reflects that sets my heart a patter.

This one was too perfect to pass up!!

Did you notice the little platforms on each side.....too cute!

Oh.....can you tell I'm overjoyed!!

Ok.....enough......I just had to share my special treasure.

Have a great rest of the week dear friends.

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate. Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive. I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1. Listing our current home the end of the first week in November. We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance. We just want to be able to live more and work less. Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there. 2. Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest. We will visit 5 countries along the way. One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany. My family left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young. Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road. (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos: Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year. Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff. I'm sure a few of you feel them same. Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree. Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes! MERRY CHRISTMAS Jo
