Things I Love

There are several things around my house that I just love. You know that kind of thing that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy when you see it. Those things that you've had for what seems like forever, but you can vividly remember the when and where behind them.



I love this pink cat. I am not a cat person at all, but I love this cat. She probably holds a special place in my heart because she is pink and I do love pink. I bought this pink cat in Summit, New Jersey at a country-crafty type of store. I was pregnant with my son, Logan, at the time. It was a wonderful time of my life because I was so very excited about the coming birth of my first child. Remember when you were pregnant for the first time? I will never forget that time of my life. I had a great job located in downtown Summit, which if anyone has ever been there, you know it is a quaint old town with lots of character and lots of history. At lunchtime, my friends and I would browse through all of the unique shops to find treasures. This pink cat is a treasure of mine from that very special time in my life.




This cherub picture I bought from the Spiegle catalog - a gift for myself - the last Christmas without children. The year was 1989 and I just fell in love with this picture. It has been hanging in my bedroom ever since. The second photo includes the ceramic pitcher and bowl I made the year I got married - 1983. This also has been displayed in my room ever since.



My Norman Rockwell plaques were a gift from my mother before I was even married. I always loved anything Norman Rockwell and my mom was thrilled when she found these for me. It was hard to get a good picture of these, so they don't show real clearly, but hopefully you can get an idea of just how beautiful they are. They are hanging in my bathroom and each day I remember fondly the joy my mom had in giving them to me.





I love angels. Here are two more that I love. I must admit that I do not remember their history, but that I have loved them for years is history enough for me.



This angel I picked up at an estate sale not too long ago. I got her at the bargain price of 50 cents! She would look great with a mate, but there was none to be found. She holds a regal place near my front door. She blesses me each time I walk out the door.




My books! Oh how I love my books! I love decorating books. I love fiction books. I love motivational books. I love money-management books. I just love books!! They bring me peace. They bring me knowledge. They bring me contentment.

These are some of my favorite things that are very special to me. Thank you Rachel for taking these pictures for me. I hope you enjoyed this little peak into my world and some of the things I love.
