Truth.

When I read the above quote...this morning, while sippin' Coffee, from...my Favorite....old, old...

Coffee Cup, this morning...

well, had to smile.

; )

 

I've had it...for decades.

: )

It's traveled with me...all over the property, while preparing for Sales, over the years.

Thought I'd lost it...forever, couldn't find it...anywhere.

then...

earlier, this year, as I was cleaning the front Greenhouse, I found it.

I'd left it sitting on a shelf, that was filled with many old dishes.

<3

I've been a Firm Believer...that Everything...Tastes Better, when served, cooked, sipped, and prepared in, and on Vintage.

Always.

From the moment I moved out on my own, it's been 'Vintage'...everything, mostly.

{I use an electric Roaster, to prepare Turkey/Meat..., on Holidays, that Sister, Chery...gave me, in 2003, the year she passed away. It's getting to be 'Vintage', too. 

Love that Roaster. I think of Chery...every time I use it. It's been such a Blessing. It frees up the Stove's Oven, for Pies. ; ) }

Had Wonderful...Visitors, from Oklahoma...Pop In, yesterday.

Darla, and her Family.

<3

They were heading Home...from Minnesota.

Darla found The Rabbit Hole, online...

texted me, a while back...and was hoping they could swing by, on their way back.

: )

What a Sweet Group.

<3

My Kinda Folks!!

; )

Darla said...she could 'Live' Down The Rabbit Hole.

<3

: )

So appreciate the compliments, but...they make me kinda sad, too.

If...Darla, could've only seen it, 'before'...the wrongfulness.

: (

I know...I have to get past that.

I...Struggle, with that...so.

When I saw the above quote, this morning, thought of a conversation...Darla, and I had...while standing in the Back...Greenhouse, that's In Total Chaos, now.

Darla said... "Just...try, and remember, it won't always be this way. Better day's are ahead."

: )

I, stood there...and looked at her, hoping...she's right.

: )

Love seeing Folks...get so excited, when they arrive.

They...'See'...the positive.

: )

I, 'see'...everything...else.

: (

Didn't used to be that way.

Used to be able to find The Good...The Beauty...in most Everything.

 In...most People...too.

<3

Watching Darla...who was So...Full of Joy...while Dancin' around The Rabbit Hole, I...remembered feeling that way, 'before'.

Darla...said she wished she lived closer, we'd surely be Best Friends.

; )

I, believe that, too.

Darla, and her Husband...are putting up a Greenhouse, and will be opening a Winery, soon, in Oklahoma.

I'm so excited for them.

Love Their Energy.

<3

After The Okies took off, I walked through The Rabbit Hole, began turning the lights out...

and, captured a few images, while doing so.

; )

The White Ironstone...Corn and Oats... Pattern, is my Favorite...Pattern.

<3

It's so difficult to find.

Old...Bits.

; )

Vintage...Textiles.

<3

oh...my goodness. 

that little Rabbit Hole, is quite a 'place'...to 'find'...ones self.

Hatpin Doll.

; )

Simply Iowa...Size, Champagne Bottle.

; )

Love It!!

Taz, and his Okie Twin!!!

Hahahahaha!!!

; )

Told my Okie Pals, when I saw Taz..at Bonnie's a while back...

I, thought I...was his Perfect Twin!!

That's what I look like when dealing with Fairfax, and IDOT.

; )

{They always bring out 'The Best'...in me.

more...like

 'The Beast'...

in me.}

oh...my. 

Headin' there...in a little bit.

See what I can get accomplished.

; )

Gonna be OPEN, next Friday, and Saturday.

Just at the shop.

We'll be working on The Fall Harvest Sale, this week.

{October 7-10}

Things are starting to roll in, for that.

Oh...Boy!!

; )

Love to Ya...

Prayers, for All.
