Bestowed Upon~ Thank You

Dear Peeps.......What a glorious morning it is here in Idaho.  I have to say the sun hasn't shined this bright since last summer and it's doing the mood good:)  Oh, I just want to lay on my floor in it and feel it's warmth. How happy and rejuvenated the sun can make the soul feel.  

And how happy and rejuvenated can such great blogging friends make one feel.  I wanted to say thank you to all who commented on my post about the Versatile Blog Award.  Your kind and encouraging comments and hugs left me feeling happy.  I have locked up those great feelings in my heart and the kind comments in my e-mail.  The post has been deleted, never to be remembered.  I want my blog to be a place of remembered happiness for me:)

Just look at this beautiful butter press and paddle.  I just about cried (again) when my mother -in- law handed these down to me over the last weekend.  I have wanted an authentic paddle for so long.  Oh, the wood is so smooth and old and used and beautiful.  I love the dove tail on the press.  I wonder who owned these and what hands cut them and created them.  

Now, I get to find a place in my kitchen to display them.  As many of you know, this could turn into an all day project of rearranging and moving things around.  Funny how just one new thing can do that:) 

But, you know what?  I love it.  

I truly hope you all have a good weekend.  We are going to the furniture store to buy "baby" a big girl bed and matching dresser.  She is currently using the old, falling apart, furniture that has been passed down from both big sisters.  Then a Happy Meal from McDonald's.  Thanks for the visit.
