{ Friday Foto Friends #44 }

Proceed with caution.....

sharing LOTS of pics today!

Pappy was off work on Labor Day and we rearranged our bedroom furniture.  
I thought I'd share a few of the things in that room that make me happy!

I've never grown tired of my crocheted pillows.
(I didn't do them)
The "Hope" pillow cover was found for $1 at a thrift store.....
got the one in the middle at a thrift store, too.

Several years ago Pappy made me a big shelf and it holds lots of things that have a special meaning to me.

A few more happies.

A cross-stitched "prayer" I made for Pappy many years ago.....
when I could still see well enough to  cross-stitch.

A little coat that Papaw and Mamaw got me when I was a baby, so it's about 60 years old. 

 I don't dare wash it for fear it'll fall apart.

Mamaw made me this little dress and my brother made me the wooden cross when he was in high school.

A picture of yours truly wearing that little dress.

Yes, I was a chunky monkey most of my life!!!

Jess got me this angel, too.

The little banner she's holding says, 

"You inspire me."

A gift from my precious friend, Teresa, who passed away from pancreatic cancer.  

I still miss her so much.

And, these things do please me well.....

sewing, snowmen, baskets, a bee (a symbol of my name), birds, quilts, Christmas, sweaters, a little church.  

I bought this with some birthday money one year.

 My Daddy and Mom.

Memories tug at my heart strings.

Memories of sister and brother.

But the fondest of all that I can recall,

are the memories of Father and Mother.

And, what would FFF be without a sky picture.....

or two.....

Linking to Skywatch Friday!

HOPE everybody has a great weekend!
