  1. What a precious post, Sally! I wanted to look more closely at all your treasures...so I viewed them on the light box. Each one has a special story, I'm sure!
    Thank you for your dear visit to my blog. It's always a joy hearing from you.
    Blessings and a few hugs, too,
    Carolynn xoxo

    1. Hi Carolynn! You're a sweetie, some do have their own stories - one piece is a souvenir from the 1962 Seattle Fair, etc.
      You're always so kind to leave comments, I so appreciate it. I don't think people "get" me and you do, or perhaps you just pretend to teehee!

      Happy weekend to you,
      Sally xo

  2. Oh, Sally...I'm so sorry to read about your dear pet, Honey. It's so difficult saying good bye when our pets have been such a big part of our every day.
    Warm hugs,

    1. Hi again Carolynn!

      Thank you so much - we are beyond broken hearted over our Honey. We adopted two senior goldens who desperately needed a home shortly after losing her - they brighten our sad hearts and bring smiles but each day we miss her so! I just found a photo we hadn't loaded onto the computer yet and wept buckets again when I saw it. sniffle sniffle

  3. Each tiny delight has an accompanying story I'm sure!
    I always enjoyed tiny items, but especially those with lids. I still can't stop myself from peeking inside a tiny container.

    1. Hi gardenbug! Thank you so much for visiting my little blog and commenting. Love your comment, so sweet. I love little things you can open up too and all the better if a wee little treasure is inside.

    1. Hi Dottie! Thank you so much for visiting and commenting! We are rather book crazy over here, the To Be Read pile is towering above the nightstand. I'm currently reading a mystery, "In the Woods" and also one of Anne Lamott's books, the one she co-wrote with her son.

      Happy reading to you!

  9. Cute displays! I bought a printer's tray about a year ago. We hung it in the living room for a shawdow box-- my daughter had to put some of her Webkinz figures in it. Not exactly the look I was going for. Oh well!

    1. Hi Claudia! Thanks so much for hosting and for visiting when you've been through so very much the past few days.

      Two thirds of the things are my mom's, that I brought home after my dad passed away last year. (mom passed away in '96) The other third are mine. She and I had so much fun going to dollhouse miniature shows and other types of craft shows.

      Happy holiday weekend!
