On The Second Day of Christmas... My true Love Gave to me....

On The Second Day of Christmas... My true Love Gave to me a birdhouse for the turtle doves that are freezing in this record Texas freeze. Yes, we had snow in Texas. Not for long and it didn't last but it was beautiful.



I know the doves will be nice and cozy in this one yr. round. Bet they can't wait for spring,LOL. So Romantic and glitzy with German Glass glitter covering the roof and Swarovski rhinestones added for some pinkalicious sparkle.

Be sure to stop by Ribbons Roses and More for the newest editions to the site. You will find these and more in our "Garden Delights" catagory.

On The First day of Christmas......A Partridge in a Pear Tree

On the 1st day of Christmas my true love gave to me...A Partridge in a Pear Tree. The partridge in a pear tree is Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, whose birthday we celebrate on December 25, the first day of Christmas. In the song, Christ is symbolically presented as a mother partridge that feigns injury to decoy predators from her helpless nestlings, recalling the expression of Christ's sadness over the fate of Jerusalem: "Jerusalem! Jerusalem! How often would I have sheltered you under my wings, as a hen does her chicks, but you would not have it so . . . ." (Luke 13:34)

We hope you will join us at Ribbons Roses and More to celebrate the 12 days of Christmas. There you will find so many beautiful items to decorate your Shabby Chic and Victorian Home.

Be sure to stop by Shabby Cottage Shops Blog and sign up for our blog give away. It's a little bit of work but it's well worth it. We are offering $350.00 worth of products. All you have to do is find the ornament and let Debie know where you find them.... You can get there by clicking this link ~ Shabby Cottage Shops or the package at the top of the right hand side bar.

Check out the latest additions to our Friday Flea Market

Be sure to visit Ribbons Roses and More.

We've been in a painting frenzy getting ready for the upcoming holidays and all of the parties. Just a couple of the items we have added this week. Don't forget to stop by Friday Flea Market and see what everyone has to offer this week.

A thought for Wednesday- I believe

I believe- that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

I believe- that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

I believe- that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love

I believe- that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I believe- that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I believe- that you can keep going long after you can't.

I believe- that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

I believe- that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I believe- that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place

I believe- that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I believe- that money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I believe- that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

I believe- that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.

I believe- that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I believe- that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

I believe- that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I believe- that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I believe- that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I believe- that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

I believe- that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.

I believe- that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.

I believe- that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally. different.

I believe- that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.

I believe- that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you you will find the strength to help.

I believe- that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

I believe- that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

I've Been Tagged

Oh,me,oh,my, my friend Janet, over at Graceful Rose has tagged me. Now I have to tell 10 interesting things about myself. Here goes....



1. I get up every morning and "Thank God" for the talent he has given me.

2. I love pink... like you didn't already know that.

3. Painting is my passion. I have painted as long as I can remember.

4. My hubby is the love of my life and no matter what junk I drag home he never complains.

4. I have one gorgous daughter. I dread the day I become an empty nester.

5. I love to garden and pink roses are my favorite... mother nature has not been as kind this yr. and the heat is killing us all.

6.I love all things Vintage and Victorian..especially china, linens,tea cups and tea pots.

7.I love to read. Hubby says I will read the side of a cereal box when there's nothing else around the house.

8.I hate the heat. I can't wait for winter.

9. Hunting for new treasures to paint on is another of my passions.

10.I would love to live in the country where I could have a huge garden and all the animals I wanted.

In Rememberance of Granddaddy - You are missed.

Remember the movie Parenthood with Steve Martin ? The grandmother said " life is like a roller coaster ... it has it's ups and downs. It goes round and round, up and down " or something to that effect. That's how it's been at my house for the last few weeks. Most of you know that I have taken care of my bedridden FIL for the last 4 + yrs. Sadly for us on July 18,2009 he left this earth to be with God and Grandmother. Happily for him he is no longer in pain or suffering. He is greatly missed by all. The house isn't the same. Thank you to all that have kept us in your prayers.
