Happy Birthday!

No, it’s not my birthday.  My birthday is in July.  My sister, Pudi, is now making some beautiful jewelry.  She made me a beautiful bracelet.  It took her several months to get the design just right, then she had to craft it.  See the pictures below.

It is copper with silver over lay.

I have worn it a great deal and every time I wear it, people stop me and admire it.  They want to know where I got it.  I am very blessed to have such a talented sister.

Thank you, dearest Pudi!D

Blessing until next time!

Look Homeward

I visited Buddy in Hendersonville one weekend and he took me to see Thomas Wolff’s Angel.

The angel is located in the Oakdale  Cemetery.  A very old cemetery.  We had no trouble locating her.  She stood out among all the others.

Isn’t she beautiful?

Clouds started to gather in the sky and they helped make some beautiful pictures.

You can see where her right wrist was broken.  Before they put a fence around her, people use to climb on and over her.

I tried to get a good close up of the engraving on the head stone.  I don’t know if you can make it our.

Margaret E wife of H F Johnson

Born May 13 1832

Died 26 1905

After we visited the cemetery, we went to an old antique shop in Hendersonville.  As we were walking around we spotted the most beautiful china.  I told Buddy that if he didn’t buy it that I would.  It is Fiesta by Noritaki.  It was made in 1933.  The price was $400 but it was reduced to $195.  It came with dinner plates, soup bowls, salad plates, bread plates, cup and saucers, and several serving pieces.

This covered vegetable dish is just beautiful.  We went on line when we got home and ebay was selling  just this dish for $95.  That was almost half of what he paid for the entire set!

A closer look at the vegetable dish.

Blessings until next time!
