Friendship Tree

I have been spending a lot of time lately rearranging my studio along with adding a floor
 length chalkboard {more on that on a later post}, and gray washing my pie safe that
stores all my linens and it has kept me very busy and tired! :)  It  has also led me to adding
special pieces to this little tree.

I call it my "Friendship Tree".

I picked up this little wire cutie a year or so ago at a friends shop who was selling and moving
out of the state. I only paid like a couple bucks for it and I knew it had to come home with me.

I have always been a "detail" person and just love the bits and bobs that come along
with ordering things in the mail. I started hanging them on this tree and each time I
look at it and see a specific tag , I think of the person who sent it to me.

I just added this tulle bow with the "OH JOY" tag. I won it in a Christmas in July
giveaway.

This JDL fabric tag and lace was on one of the scarves that I ordered last year.
Love it!

I have shown this heart tag before. Becky over at Timewashed sent this to me along with some other
goodies awhile ago.  As you can see I haven't removed it from the tag yet because I love it as is. 

I can't highlight each and every tag, but believe me there are several and there is room for many more so I
shall keep filling it up. It just makes me happy.

What makes you happy?


I hope you had a wonderful weekend and that you will have an awesome week ahead!

A faithful friend is the medicine of life...

I found this utensil/glass holder at Maribeth's when my sister was home visiting.

I adore it and just had to pick it up.

It spins and twirls and is so neat.

More buckets that I found on clearance at

TJ Maxx last week. The only two they had left.

Now...do you have a friend who is

your best and dearest friend??

One that will stick with you no matter

what??

I do and I am so thankful for her and

for what she means to me! {Peggy this is for you}

Her and I have sent each other cards for YEARS.

{even though we only live about 10 miles apart)

We send cards for birthdays, anniversaries,

and any other day you can think up...even no reason

cards! We have amassed quite a few and have slowed

down somewhat over the past several months. Part

of the reason due to card stores closing around here

and also because we have sent each other just about

every card out there!! LOL

One day we were chatting on the phone and she said, "I bought you something at a garage sale...just pretend

it is a card"...and the same thing was said in another

conversation and...when we finally got together

for HER birthday...

she gave me all kinds of treasures!

This silver bowl, the vintage silverware tied in a pretty

white ribbon, these vintage gloves and the wool sweater

in the photo above with the flower pin on it. I was blown away!! I love it all so much! I felt like

it was my birthday!

She is such a sweetheart and

no... I won't share her. lol. Thank you so much dear friend and may you

be blessed many times over for your kindness

to me!

I hope each one of you has a friend like I do...

they truly are the "medicine of life".

Blessings~
