Stop to smell the flowers... free vintage girl with lilies image

We are stopping to smell the flowers here.. school starts on the 29th for us and we'll be off and running with soccer, gymnastics, scouts, etc... All three of mine will be in school this year, two of them all day! It is bitter sweet though, I am looking forward to my new found time alone, but I think I'll miss them. Well, maybe after a few weeks. :) This week we are taking it easy, getting last minute shopping done and hopefully spending some time at the beach.

Hope you enjoying the last days of summer! It'll be the time of spooks and fabulous Halloween decorating before we know it! (I love Halloween!)

enjoy!

1900 Sweet Little Girls Ad for Hood's Sarsaparilla

Aren't these little ladies just beautiful? They are the 1900 Hoods Sarsaparilla advertisement card. On the back, (whick I can't get at because they are firmly adhered to the page from the antique scrapbook) is the annual calendar for the 1900. I bet that would be neat to see too! :)

I am having eye surgery tomorrow morning so I probably won't be back until Wednesday.

See you on Wednesday!
