REDNESDAY

I swear, kids have much better fashions these days than adults! I'm always finding the cutest outfits in the Girls section at stores. Jade showed up yesterday with this adorable red hoodie, covered in bling . . . soooo cute! (beside it is my red coat and scarf)

Last night I made a cat house for the cats. Chloe decided to take up residence in it, so Becky moved it up to her room, because Chloe is her cat. Here, I took a picture of Becky taking a picture of Chloe!

So far, we haven't seen much snow this year - this little guy will have to do! We had six inches (15cm) of fluffy white stuff on Saturday, which is almost completely gone today. Yesterday was 45F/7C and today will be 50F/10C. The china set in the cupboard is Homer Laughlin 'duBarry' pattern.

When I was at the thrift store a few weeks ago, I found this canister on the floor in one of the back rooms filled with utensils. I asked if it was for sale, and they said yes! The tin money box was an eBay UK purchase a year or so ago - love the graphics!

QUEEN FOR A DAY

I've just got to learn to write things down. Two or three weeks ago, on Vintage Thingies Thursdays, someone showed their Royal plate (EDIT: It was JewelGirl of Sandwiched Mom!), and I commented that I was about to show my Queenie stuff. Well, I finally remembered.

So here is the sandwich plate/cup/saucer that was my grandmother's. She lived here in Massachusetts, but had relatives in England, so they probably sent the set over to her. It's made by Alfred Meakin, and she always kept it in her china cabinet and, now, it's in my china cabinet!
This regal mug I recently acquired from eBay. Mister and Teen laughed at me when I said I bought it because it was pretty. Well, it is! I keep it on the shelf over the sink, because I am the Queen!
Here's a few other Queenly things I have in my files! (First one from CafePress, second Google, third Mary Engelbreit.)

I hope you all have a royal Sunday!
