Counting Your Blessings

Silver Sunday

Hope you have a blessed Silver Sunday!

P.S. Just had to share this....

In all my years of blogging, that's the first time I've come across a "bless" word verification.

Oh and one last thing...

The new issue of Porch will be available sometime in the next week!

Keep an eye on the blog - we'll announce it there first.

Vintage Black Friday

I'm so excited that Vintage Black Friday is back!

If you haven't participated before, you can go HERE and linky up with us & show off your vintage black on the first Friday of every month.

This week I wanted to show you this old pin crown cushion. It has a tape measure in the base of it that unwinds. The top of the crown is where the thimble is supposed to rest.

Come on over and visit the other bloggers!

Mr. Blessing and I had a huge fight! AND I snore. In fact, I think that might be why we had a big fight. Sometimes I find him sleeping in other rooms... and it makes me mad! He says he doesn't want to disturb my sleep... but it still makes me mad. Victorian ladies - even ones that wear blue jeans & live in farmhouses - are not supposed to snore!

We made up, of course. Because he's too "McWonderful" for me to stay mad at him. But still! We have 4 kids and have been married more than a decade. How long has he been sneaking around, sleeping without me and being so stinking considerate? And what reasonable explanation is there that THIS is what pushes my button? None I tell you. It's not reasonable to be mad at someone for being considerate. Darn it.

Silver Sunday

There's something about January & February that make me feel like I'm living in a bottle. At the first sign of cold weather here in the Midwest, we all love to snuggle up by the fire and be cozy. But by now we're all getting a little cabin fever! And now is when the bitter cold really falls upon us.

In order to keep the kids busy and to keep from pulling our hair out, here at the Blessings farmhouse we've resorted to board games.

I've never been a board games kinda gal. I'm the wierd one at family gatherings that doesn't like to play charades or banana-grams or telephone. But I DO like my kids and they are having so much fun!

It's precious time in bottle.
