These Foolish Things....

When you thought I wasn't looking

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator, and I wanted to paint another one. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you feed a stray cat, and I thought it was good to be kind to animals. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make my favorite cake for me, and I knew that little things are special things. When you thought I wasn't looking, I heard you say a prayer, and I believed there is a God I could always talk to. When you thought I wasn't looking, I felt you kiss me goodnight, and I felt loved. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw tears come from your eyes, and I learned that sometimes things hurt, but it's all right to cry. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw that you cared and I wanted to be everything that I could be. When you thought I wasn't looking, I looked... and wanted to say thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn't looking. ...Author Unknown

Around the house...

Rather unusually at the moment,the weather has been really lovely today! so off I skipped to my local Saturday flea market,feeling happy and bright and ready to embrace all manner of vintage delights,However,would you believe,all I came home with was the little vintage mustard box planted up with some pretty alpines. It's not that I didn't see anything of interest,but,again rather unusually for me,I restrained myself! you see,I am a complete magpie,I cannot resist the lure of a sparkly brooch or an old faded corsage,but its taking over! I kept looking at things and thinking but where would I put it?' so I resisted,I feel very virtuous albeit slightly disappointed!

However,because I cannot show pics of my flea market finds,instead here are a few pics of the abundant clutter which I call home!

Have a lovely weekend everyone.
