Willow Tree Love....................

Good morning everyone !

I pulled out one of my willow trees figurines to put in the small guest room ( to remind the little ones that must still say their prayers even when they're at a sleepover at Lolli & Pop's! )

and it reminded me that I haven't unpacked my collection yet

I have some that represent my kids ( and that I sometimes use as place settings ) these ones, are in fact, unpacked and sit on my end table beside my bed ) these must always be my bed - even if I end up in a home one day - not remembering anything at all - these MUST sit by my bed.............

it felt like Christmas last night opening all of these up again

I love them all - even the ones with missing limbs ( which are in a jewellery box waiting to be glued back on

They were all gifts and hold a special place in my memories and my heart and it all started with this one - given to me by a sister of the heart

I've given many many of them as gifts as well - for baby showers - Christmas gifts or just because

Stay tuned - I just ordered another very special one .....................she's inscribed " Grateful "
Can you guess what it's for?

Have a beautiful day all
Much love,

I WANNA live there Wednesday # 89

There's something about tree houses that are so appealing - I've never had one - not even sure if I've ever been in one for that matter but it's something I always wanted as a child.
Whenever I would see one I would imagine it all spiffied up ( I come from an era where tree houses were just crude little shacks - a plywood floor - walls - and roof - they were basically plywood tents that were fitted onto sturdy old limbs - with a rope ladder for access.  Seeing them, I would ALWAYS imagine them decorated - with curtains and flower boxes.  You know, into little houses instead of forts built mostly for boys.

But my little mind could have never imagined such beauty nor could it have processed it - I would have been so enamored of them I probably would have just snuck into the owners yards and slept at the base of them like a little orphan - just to be close to them !

I wouldn't need such an elaborate one - a small cozy treehouse would be fine

with a place to nap

and maybe a bath

I don't know if I could live in one permanently but if I had one in my backyard - I'd most definitely WANNA live there a couple of hours each day - without a doubt !!!
Have a wonderful Wednesday all !
Much love,

Partying with these amazing ladies !
