Pixies


Jan, here are the pixies I told you about, what do you think? The darkest one in front is plum, I don't know if you can make that out. I should have taken a photo of the back so you could see the color of their hats better. Aren't they cute?

Now mother first off let me say that I love the blog it is darling. Now, down to business. You are getting way too many collections. Do you realize the amount of work Jan, Brandee and I are going to have years down the road sorting, laughing, crying and doing it all over again...do you really want to do that to us??? I can just see you, grandma & aunt shirley on the other side getting a good laugh out of it too!
Where in the world do you find all your little treasures?
By the way, have you started wearing polyester by chance?

Good Morning Cheyenne,
Let's analyze this situation now. I hadn't thought about y'all having to go through the collections when I pass on to the great bargain bin in the sky. Just remember DO NOT throw out any book, container, box, picture, or drawer without going through it thoroughly. I don't know what possesses me but sometimes when I pass something at a junque store or garage sale it just says buy me. I often think it's like someone who is addicted to drugs or alcohol. Now that you've brought this to my attention I'm going to have to find a twelve-step program and ween myself from pretties.
Well, these little pixies aren't for me anyway. JanEricka liked the ones I had in a photo and I told her I would look for some for her. It just so happens I was at a garage sale and there sat two identical sets for .50 each so I bought a trio. After we left Lanette said I'd be sorry I didn't get the other set so we went back. Now I have 3 sets of trios and three daugthers. M-m-m-m you do the math. I thought they would be nice little trinkets to take home after our retreat in October.
NO, I do not wear polyester! Although as I think about it the polyester would stretch easier over my bum than denim. You've given me reason to pause. SMILE.

Oh yes, don't forget the totes of doilies in the attic. Now that should take y'all a while. And the suitcases of cards and letters I've gotten over the years. Don't forget the stuff in the trunks, boxes under the beds, upstairs closets, basement shelves, etc...

I got a good laugh at these two comments ladies!
Mom, because of the problems I'm having with my computer, I can only see the top picture of the pixies, they're so cute :) and WOW to think Chey, Brandee and I will someday share a small collection of Pixies :)
I have big day tomorrow, games all day, I'm secretly hoping the boys win both games, that will be the end of football then :) :) :)
Off to bed I go, love ya mom, I'll talk with you soon.
I don't have time to look at the previous post I can't wait to see what you've said about the cemetary. night.
