I rescue stray dogs...

Old ceramic stray dogs that is~

I've found these at flea markets and thrift stores

I'm always on the lookout for one of these little puppies sitting all by themselves

They all have they're own cute personalities

I haven't gone as far as naming them!

I'm a dog lover, however, I couldn't bring home this many real ones!

These stray's don't require much - just a little dusting

I'll always have room for more of these stray dogs!

Show and Tell Friday

I'm joining Cindy at My Romantic Home today for Show and Tell Friday!

These are autographed pictures my mom *Joan* got in 1957 of Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando!

My mom flew to California on a propeller jet from Chicago in 1957.  She went with her friend Charlene to visit their friend Darlene, who moved to California after graduating from High School.

Darlene, worked at a doctor's office and one of the patients, worked at Paramount Studios and was able to introduce the girl's from "Chicago" to Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando!  Mom and Charlene were so excited to meet these Movie Star's and best of all, they got autographed pictures!  I wish I had friends who had connections like that today!

I think Elizabeth Taylor is the most beautiful woman ever!

And Marlon Brando was very handsome too! 

My mom had these packed in a box for many, many years; so I decided I should take borrow them and display them!  My three siblings keep threatening to take borrow them from me!  It's like we're kids again!

These are great conversation pieces and I will never part with them!

Here's a picture of my mom *Joan* back then.  I think she looked like a movie star too!

Thanks for stopping by and looking at mom's Movie Star autographed pictures!  *wink*

Furry Kids

Some pictures of my little dog faces! Conan and Brighton! I was blog hopping yesterday and came across a couple of other bloggers who have Cavaliers, so I felt I should join in and share some pictures of our little poochies!
Brighton and Conan are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels - don't tell them, they think they're humans!

This is Brighton - she's a Blenheim. Named after one of my favorite stores ~ Brighton! She has a heart shaped marking on the top of her head!

Here's Conan, he's a Ruby! Yes, he's named after the late night show talk host.

When we went to pick out a puppy five years ago, we were only planning on one {Brighton}, however, Conan melted our hearts and we couldn't leave without him! Having two puppies at one time is the best recommendation I can give to anyone wanting to get a puppy. They have kept each other company from day one.

This is a picture of our Christmas card from a couple of years ago! It was snowing out and they were trying to catch the snowflakes!

What Time Is It?

I have clocks almost everywhere! Two times a year we're busy-bee's changing all the clocks. Some keep faster time than others, we call those the "other time-zone" clocks!

The clock outside on the deck, it has the nice temp and humidity gages - I'll know how frizzed out my hair will be ~ lately I've had Don King hair - it's reaching for the sky!

One of two in the family room.

Second one in the family room ~ on top of the entertainment center - we do have a clock on the cable box, but you need a big one to look at while being a couch potato! A few decorative clocks around ~ in case you can't see the other ones!

On my desk. My favorite time of my work day Five-to-Five!

Here's our Grandfather clock ~ when my little nieces and nephews are over, every time they hear the chimes {four times in one hour} they think it's the doorbell and run to the door! It's hysterical watching them run to the door! You'd think they would catch on!

Here's the one clock I dread every morning! The alarm clock {zzz...hit snooze} - I need something more appealing than this one! I will go shopping for a new one! I will! *wink*

I need just a few more clocks! Times a wasting!

Apothecrazy!

Apothecary jars...how many is too many? Nonsense, you can never have enough! I love these glass works-of-art! I thought I would share of a few of mine.

This one, I can't bear to take the eggs out of it - I've had displayed since Easter.

This one came with the faux moss-covered rocks in it. I have it in my china cabinet. People ask “why do you have that in your cabinet” - “why not” I say! Why not!

Here's one I have shells and starfish in it – the starfish look a little scary – looks better in real life!I have this one in our guest bedroom filled with toiletries that I {swiped} acquired during hotel visits. I know our guests have been {swiping} using them - it was filled to the top! Come to think of it, whatever happened to those plush terry cloth robes I had hanging in the closet...hmmm!
These little jars are on my desk, filled with gum balls and M&M's...I know who's enjoying these...Moi! I found these at Walmart and they're {cheap} affordable! I may have to get more!

Last but not least, I have this one in our bathroom, filled with 10,000 Q-Tips! We have enough Q-Tips to last us till 2020! I do have another one filled with cotton balls, I'm sure you get the idea! I think I need another one filled with bars of soap!

I'm crazy about Apothecary jars! I know I'm not the only one who loves these either!
