Evening Thoughts

Seeing the destruction of homes from tornadoes moves me to appreciate my home all the more. So often it's the little things in a home that are comforting.
I have had the two hearts for a very long time. The reading rabbit is a more recent find. I like having small mementos around that remind me of people and places.

Painting brings me extra comfort these days. It frees my mind from worrisome thoughts. I especially enjoy the angel paintings.

From the reports today the coronavirus is expected to get much worse. We will be spending the month of April at home. May we look for joys during this difficult period and try our best to stay safe and healthy.

   

My Kind of Day

A pretty day required getting out of the house. I decided to check out this flea market. It had lots of stuff. After circling the booths two times I came away with three small finds - an odd-shaped vintage glass jar with zinc lid, a Baldwin candlestick, and a charming Ashleigh Manor picture frame that I almost overlooked. 

Next I decided to check on my own booth in Millington.

It's just not possible to hang on to everything. I like this bowl and pitcher because there's a memory connected to it, but it just doesn't look right in my home. One year my dad and I shopped together to find something for my mother's birthday. We chose the bowl and pitcher for her, and she happily displayed it for years on a small antique table in the bedroom.

This portrait hangs in another vendor's booth. I look for the lady in red every time I go by. One day she won't be there, and I will miss her.
