Treasure Tuesday again over at Clares I have a "bush fire " box. In it are all my things I woud hate to lose. I am going through it now.My treasure this week is this lovely porcelain trinket box handpainted by my MIL shortly before she succumbed to breast cancer in 1984. She was a very talented lady.I just love it. It is very delicate and the floral arrangement she painted was of little white daisies. Thanks Clare for this show and tell.

My friend CLARE is having a Tuesday Treasures.As strange as it seems my hockey stick is one of my treasures. It was my aunt's and when she died she had told people to give it to me. It must be about 60 yrs old now. It brings a tear to my eye now thinking about it.

Has been so long since I have put anything on here. We have a very regular visitor these days so I do not get as much free time.

Well Mother's Day has been and gone. we followed our tradition and had Take away. When we finished I spent most of the afternoon resting. It was lovely. I am so thankful for each one of my children. We are now embarking on a new adventure. After finally having the last of the children not needing my attention as much with his schooling I was settling into an easy life........no. We are going to be our little grandson's babysitters for 3 days a week. We are really looking forward to this he is such a beautiful child.
