OIL LAMP LOVE



LOVE DAY NUMBER 13



Happy Wednesday,  hope you are all enjoying the morning so far............Here we are at day 13 of Cindi`s chain of love, enjoying all the gals posts on their loves, so much fun.....................I  love  the old oil lamps of so long ago...........love the soft glow from one burning, I can remermber a scene from Little House On The Prairie when Ma was sitting at the table one night sewing by the soft glow of the old lamp, was magical,  I thought it looked so beautiful, I had to have one of  my own...........well, now I have a few........  I have one at the lake I burn  when we sit on the porch at night by the fire, looks so  comfy cozy, warms my heart.



so pretty the old lamps

Now for some exciting news.........Tammy over at Country Girl at Home asked me over on the Sunporch for a chat, I am honored she asked me, so come on over and join us, her Sunporch is oh so cozy and she`s serving my favorite dessart, Apple Pie with coffee, yum yum...........Prim Blessings Francine.

LIGHTNING ROD LOVE

LOVE DAY NUMBER 12



Morning Primfolk,  hope everyone is well,  the weather here is so nice and mild, wish Spring was on the way but I know it`s no way sprung in these parts.......................... Day 12 of Cindi`s love chain and this day I am telling my love for old lightning rods................I fell hard for these neat old pieces of yesteryear,   you can still see some on the old barns, many are just a rod, no decorated ball sitting on the lightning rod, many a young boy used it for target practice I`m sure.....................The lighting rods had a ground wire attached to lead the lightning to the ground if hit so the barn stayed safe.............There are so many beautiful balls that once graced the old rods, blue, red, white glass,  differant shapes, I really found them so fascinating, so I added a few to my home.................Wishing you all a great day, Blessings Francine.

FLOWER FROG LOVE

LOVE DAY NUMBER 11

Happy Monday,  hope you are all safe and sound those that were hit with the nasty snow storm, watched on the weather channel, oh my, so much of the white stuff fell, watch your back shoveling out..............................Love day 11 already, moving right along...........Another love I have are the old Flower Frogs, love the differant designs of them...........Bought one in an Antique store along time ago and of coarse it snowballed into yet another collection, but I do enjoy looking for them wherever I may go antiquing...........So many shapes and sizes,  I just am drawn to these little old flower holders...............I can still see Martha Stewart using a older  flower frog on one of her shows to place a bunch of flowers in a old jug, so neat.................Sometimes  I use one for a holder and stick a old postcard into one to stand it up, comes in handy, but those little needles are very sharp, ooch!!..................Wishing you all a great day, Blessings Francine.

ANGEL LOVE



LOVE DAY NUMBER 8



Morning Primfolk, Happy Friday to you all, hoping you enjoy this weekend................My love today is my sweet little girl Angel, love this furbaby with all my heart............We were looking for another little dog when we still had Daisy girl,  she was getting on up there in age so Cam and I wanted to add another  small dog to the home.............Angel came to us as a throwaway from a neighbors Son who did not want her any more, he was bringing her to the Human Society,  but Cam brought her home while I was at work...........I came home from work and here was the saddest sight I ever seen, sitting there was this dirty, skinny,  matted from head to tail little dog, a 5 year old  purebreed Shih-Tzu, she had my heart right then and there.. ..........Her nails were so long they curled around almost into her pads, she was actually walking on the curled nails, heartbreaking, not spayed, no needles, tags, nothing but a dirty bug eyed little dog.........Daisy really wanted nothing to do with her, but they kinda stayed out of each others way........We took Angel to the groomers, cut, bathed and nails trimmed, she was beautiful, black and white with freckles of black, so pretty............ She had a little temper, but who knew what this little dog had gone through, she ended up biting Cam so many times, bad bites, I felt so bad for Cam,   but I loved this little dog so.  She was my shadow, my lap warmer, always so happy to see me no matter if I was just coming downstairs after a shower, or hours at work, Angel greets me with love like no other................We have had her 3 years now, Angel has come along way, she loves Cam, mind you still has her grumpy days but who dosen`t, she has my heart wrapped around hers......True Love............Blessings Francine.
