Fiesta Ware

 We went to Potsdam, NY today to get Sam and Alex their new eye glasses and contact lenses for the year.  While there we hit our favorite shopping stores- Misty Hollow (crafts, yarn, collectibles and such) and North Country Neighbors (a basement full of used good stalls).  You just never know what you are going to find.  It is such fun.  Adam found a prop, Sam and Alex found crafts, and me...I found Fiesta Ware!!! :D

I just love this stuff.  Old school and made in the USA.  

I fell in love with this red set (they had orange, greens and blues).  There were plates and such, but I only have room for so much in my pint size kitchen, so I chose what I would use.  Four mugs, sugar dish, creamer and butter dish.  My personal favorite...the butter dish. :D

Good Times.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! :)   How did you spend your new years eve?  Adam got off later in the evening and was able to finally tell me about the movie he just went to see the night before, Django.   I love to hear him describe a story.  He is an awesome story teller.  After talking and laughing,  I went to bed when I was tired. :D  No countdown to midnight for me.  LOL  I'm simply tired too early these days.

I decided upon waking to start the New Year by having a great breakfast. :) It was divine.

 I sipped the coffee after breakfast while reading aloud to Alex from the Help, by Kathryn Stockett.  She found the 530 page book when she was out shopping and suggested as our next read.  She and I will read a book at the same time so that we can discuss it as we go along.  Usually we read on our own time, but we were together.

Sammie brought home some new fabric and I am well aware that she will be creating something new for the next dance she has.  (I love being a part of this with her.  She is extremely creative.)

As I sit here typing I was thinking, I have no resolutions.  Because as I live, each day, I learn more and more what living is all about.  It is the simple moments.  The daily ones that we share with everyone we love.   The more we can appreciate these, the better life becomes.

To the coming year, may it be filled with many of life's greatest moments...the simple ones spent with those we love, to hold close and cherish.  (((HUGS)))
