~MY LOVE OF HOLIDAYS..~!

Melancholy sets in as Easter approaches.

I sometimes wonder if this is just a part of growing older.

Broken hot water heaters don't help...you know..life. 

:)  

My Easter decorating is way behind..

I did snap a couple of pictures...but nothing of any significance.  

 I love holiday's.  I always have.  Not just for their significance, but because it 's a family time.  My family gathers.  We have become wide spread across the nation now but there are still many of us together.

I just found this lamp shade on Etsy.  Another lovely hand made shade from The Girly Cottage. 

I fell in love with it.  

I should have take a picture of it with the light off..but as usual, when I remember to take pictures it's in the evening.   But..you get the idea.  I think the crystal finial just tops it off.  :) 

Bobby is the girly girl who sells these pretties and she added this gorgeous Lefton pin dish as a gift!

*sigh* 

I have a lot of old pins I've collected over the years and they never see the light of day in my jewelry box..so I decided to decorate with them.  I just leave them out.  

I s'pose I should put them away for Easter.

Tiny eggs instead?  

This is one of my favorites..I attached it to the tassel hanging from my piano light.

That little dimpled darling in the photo is my granddaughter and she now has a son of her own.

Time marches on.

Tomorrow I WILL dig out some Easter things.

This year Easter falls on my daughter, Sandy's birthday.  I have a lot going on inside

I miss her terribly.

Have a great week out there.  

Later then?

Love,

Mona
