Saturday thrifting fun~

I hope all of you are having a wonderful weekend.  We are finally having beautiful weather and I LOVE it.  I went out thrifting today and these are my little goodies ~


This little creamware milk pitcher caught my eye


These little goodies...I will paint this mirror ..hmmm antique white?


I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these little cook book pamphlets.  I wonder what I can make ~ I'll have to read these

Even though Mr. Vintage can't get out yet, he had my lovely daughter pick these up for me for Mother's Day.  What a sweetie.  Both of them

I wish all of you a Happy Mother's Day full of fun, laughter and love ...



Happy Mother's Day Mommy and to all your friends in Blogland ~ 

For Mother's Day, I wish to share with you a recipe for Happiness Cake ~

1 heaping portion of true love
1 heaping cup of perfect trust and confidence
1 heaping cup of tenderness - the most tender available
1 heaping cup of good humour ~ a little extra won't hurt
1 tablespoon of good spirits - the more spirited the better ~

blend with
1 heaping cup of unselfishness
a dash of interest ~ in all they do
one good helping of work ~  to avoid this would spoil the flavour
Mix all of the ingredients with a pint of sympathy and understanding.  Flavour with loving companionship.  Bake well all your life.  Frost with kisses, fond hopes and tender words.  This cake keeps well and should be served often

Happy Mother's Day

xoxo
Marianne
