VINTAGE SUMMER MONDAYS!

I want to wish everybody a happy Memorial Day!  I was sitting by the pool at my neighbor's today, watching my children swim, and couldn't help but think how lucky I am.  I'm not a millionaire, or even slightly rich.  We're always worrying about how we're going to get through the next holiday or clothes-buying excursion.  But, everybody in my family is healthy, we're all together, my husband has a good job, we have a roof over our heads, and we're able to pay our bills.  Life is good right now for me and my family, and I'm thankful.  I am thankful for all the service people who make the sacrifices they do while I go on with my everyday life, sometimes forgetting how lucky I am.  

I stopped by Laurie-Anna's Vintage Home today.  She had a wonderful story she shared with her readers for Memorial Day that I wanted to pass on to my readers.  It's a very touching story.  I hope you enjoy it. :)

Now... on to Vintage Summer Mondays!  This will be my first time participating in Vintage Summer Mondays, and  I'm very excited about it!!. I wanted to thank Melinda at Alabaster Rose Designs for hosting this wonderful link party!  I just found Melinda's blog yesterday and fell in love with it.  If you haven't already, you should definitely go check it out.

Let the vintage loveliness begin!!  I hope you enjoy it. :)

My favorite vintage cup.

A vintage business card.

One of my favorite little finds...a vintage recipe box.

One of the vintage recipes from the box above for drop chocolate cookies.

Yummy!! :)

A vintage flower frog holding a vintage business card, a vintage key tied around a jar of pea gravel,

and a vintage enamelware coffee pot on top of a vintage wooden box.

A collection of vintage white ironstone.  The pitcher is filled with vintage folding rulers.

That's all the vintage goodies I have to share with you this time...until next Monday! :)

I hope that everybody has a wonderful Memorial Day!!

Oh, and I just wanted to add that I finally have 100 lovely followers!!  Thank you to everyone who has visited my little blog and spread the word by adding me to your blog list or perhaps telling a friend.  I certainly wasn't sure when I started out that anyone would be interested in what I had to offer to the "Land of Blog" (as I like to call it). :)   You have all been so kind and generous with your comments.  It has been a pleasure getting to meet so many wonderful bloggers and visiting your lovely blogs.

'Til next time...
