ME Monday....

Thanks for stopping by today. I'm joining Chari over at "Happy To Design" who is hosting Sunday Favorites. This Sunday I'm sharing a post from the past that has been the "most viewed" post over the 3 years that I have been blogging. I have no clue why either. Enjoy!

Time to share your Mary Engelbreit

Please join us and post the link to your blog with the related Mary Engelbreit pictures to share with everyone. It can be a ME licensed product or something that was "inspired" by Mary Engelbreit's artwork. It "should" be a photo that you took of something that you own. We're flexible here....let's have fun above all else.

Once you've posted your picture come back and add your link in McLinky below. Please share the link back to my blog so that everyone can take part in sharing their post and pictures.

I have One ME recipe card holder

I have Two ME snow globes

I have Three ME money banks

It must be my mood this Saturday...

Things I Love Thursday...

I truly love fuschias. I so enjoy all the color variations and sizes. When I lived in California I was able to grow and enjoy them. I, however, have had no success with them here in Florida. I think it's just too hot for them here. If I lived in cooler weather I would have tons of beautiful fuschia plants. There are so many to choose from. Please enjoy this collection of photographs from contributors on Flickr.com

I Saw Them....I Wanted Them....I Found Them....I Bought Them!

Thank you to Sweet Sue for hosting us this week from "It's a Very Cherry World"

I'm rushing like a crazy woman because Sue already has the link for "Rednesday' up on her blog and I just finished taking my pictures.
No laughing please.....this is my first attempt at a semi, kinda like, Tablescape. The trouble is I don't really have a dining room table. What was a dining room table has become my work table. So to get this picture I had to pick up poor Missy and her cat bed and move her away from the window where I thought there would be decent light to take this photograph. I had to select a piece of my "many" cherry print fabrics, iron it, and assemble this all together. Even now I notice the "stuff" behind the plate...lol. Oh well!
Sooo...to make a long story even longer....a couple of weeks ago I saw someone linked up to Rednesday who had the most darling red cherry colander and these cherry measuring cups. I soooo wanted them. I immediately Google searched every combination of words to find them but I was not successful. I sent pictures to my neighbor, Paddy, and asked her to be on the look out for them, too. I just knew I "needed" them. I showed them to Ms. Christina in Ft. Myers who has the cherry kitchen. She had never seen them either...ugh!
The BF tells me all the time that I should work for the FBI. I always seem to figure out what he is up to with minimal information...lol! Anywhooooo.....today I was running errands and I stopped into Pier 1 Imports....I seldom go in there...prices are high...on my way to "Tar-Jay". Well...I'm strolling around looking at stuff thinking that I'm getting some walking (exercise) in, when out of the corner of my eye I spy the Cherry colander and then the Cherry measuring cups and THEN the Cherry measuring spoons. You would have thought that it was the second coming of Christ! I was SO thrilled! I found them! I found them! A big gulp and I flip stuff over to check the prices. The sensible side of me decided that while I LOVE the Cherry colander, I can live without it. It's $18 but I later found it in the store on sale right now for $14.99. The Cherry measuring cups were $15 but I had to have them. They are now MINE! Happy Dance! I don't recall what the Cherry measuring spoons are going for but until they go on sale I probably won't be owning them either. Plus I just found the cute little silver Cherry measuring spoons for Joann's for $1. 
So to Pier 1 Imports...if you need any help with your SEO (Search Engine Optimization) please get in touch with me. Once I got home I found the "Red Colander" on their website. It's linked from my Facebook page if you want to see it.

ME Monday.....

In my home office I have shelves on two ends of the room where I display my collection of Mary Engelbreit tins. One side is for Christmas and the other is for everything else. I have fooled around with these photos far too long to try to get them to line up. I give up! I will let the perfectionist in me relax today.

A not so great photograph, of my china cabinet in my kitchen that I use to display some of my ME treasures.
