About Me

Hello......I am not good at talking about myself but I am a young! grandmother would you believe of 9 little darling munchkins. My husband and I are builders (I am a carpenter by trade)and all our four children are married, so we are empty nesters now. I am retired from working on the tools outside and volunteer three days a week at a second hand shop. I am a country cottage lady and we grow our own vegetables and have fruit trees. I love Antiques and vintage china. My husband and I had a lovely little gift shop for a few years called "the Christmas tree shop" here in Australia, I collect vintage christmas decorations too ..........I adore giving and so this is just so me! to do swaps that is. I love anything old so am happy for vintage pieces to be included in any swap to me. but most of all I enjoy whatever you want to send I have no special wants just enjoying the swap and the great items that may be sent to me. :o)

Favorite Music

Well I truly love "The call of the loons" and any music that was not produced in the last 10 years. lol lol! :o) just kidding!

I do not mind most music if it makes someone happy! then good.

Favorite Movies

I just love silent movies (no I am not that old!) and I love movies that bring out the tissues and they make you feel good! I very much enjoy the old cowboy movies, and Christmas movies too why I could watch them all year. I would prefer however to read a great time travel romance book or an Amish story now they are just lovely.

Favorite Television

Antique roadshow...........O! that is a great one. And believe it or not! :o) I love "this old house" when We can get to see it here in Australia. Our Aussie Television is not that good with only 5 free to air channels.

Favorite Crafts

I guess you could say cross stitch but more then me doing it I just love to see other peoples wonderful craft projects and admire their skills. I am goodish in the garden, I am fair at decorating, BUT! I just love to collect vintage and country pieces and as we live in an old world cottage I guess that could be a craft (well kinda!) You can find me any week hunting for vintage or old pieces when I can in second hand (junk or thrift) shops or at garage sales (yard sales) you just never know when you may find "that special treasure" you just must have!

I love!! & I adore!!

Now this is strange me adding this to my profile but many ask me what do you want? what would you like? well I guess I should say a little more about my loves....... I love & I adore Vintage, Vintage & more Vintage. You could go to any thrift store or old store and buy me anything for the kitchen, for the bathroom for any room. I adore cloth servettes, table cloths, dish cloths.....truly anything as I said Any old thing! (smiles)

I also love the smell of Christmas, Christmas room sprays, Christmas candles and Christmas anything......My husband and I have so many vintage christmas decorations AND the whole village (well almost) of New England dept.56 and our 9 grand children love to see it set up theY watch the lights in the houses twinkle and the snow shine every Christmas.

So what DO I LOVE? its VINTAGE ANYTHING & VINTAGE CHRISTMAS ANYTHING.

There that was easy..........O! I also love the normal things like Any teas, Any soaps, and lip gloss and ANY CHOCOLATES. Anything really!!

Hi there. I have 4 of your 6 recipes written out. I wish I could tell you I can actually cook all of the foods in my Favorites, but sadly I'm just not that good. ;) But it should all go into the post in plenty of time. Cheers!
