Day 20 Photo Challenge - Trees

Taken last Sunday on a ride to Copper Harbor

with my mom and sister. 

Day 19 Photo Challenge - Vegetables

Eat your veggies!

Day 18 Photo Challenge - Apples

Two challenges in one.

I tried to add the fifth apple, but failed.

Day 17 Photo Challenge - Hat

Day 16 Photo Challenge - Broom

Broom??  Now that's a challenge.

I bought my house about 25 years ago, and this broom was left behind by the previous owner.  It's starting to show some wear.  It's from Fuller Brush and I think they declared bankruptcy, so some day I'll have to replace it with one of those Stanley brooms that Anne recommends.

Itchin' to Stitch

In September I won a giveaway from Katie - this kit to make a complete quilt top!  She even included a sweet pair of scissors in the package  - and it all arrived in my mailbox today!

Katie designed a great quilt for  Moda Bake Shop and offered this kit to celebrate.  I love the pattern - and the colors in this Fig Tree fabric line (California Girls) are beautiful!

This should motivate me to get busy neatening up here to make room to get started stitching and cutting.  I can hardly wait to see this one put together.

Thanks so much to Katie for a great giveaway!

Day 14 Photo Challenge - In my kitchen

This shelf in my kitchen  once belonged to my grandmother.

It now holds treasured memories from my grandma and my great aunt.

It also hold gifts that I love from my sister, my sister-in-law, 

and some from dear friends.

The pieces I've purchased myself hold memories of

shopping trips with people I love.

The memories are much more dear than the actual objects, 

but it's the objects that bring those sweet memories to mind.
