Vintage Ruler - Growth Chart

Thought I'd share my latest project.  A vintage style Wooden Ruler Growth Chart I made for my Grandaughter, Madison.

When my kids were growing up, we marked many a wall with their heights...such a joy to see how much taller they were month to month.  Sad part was they were left at the various houses we moved from...all so someone else could probably paint over them.

This is the perfect solution...hang it up and take it with you.  Always yours to reflect and cherish.

My Favourite Gifts

This year I received some pretty awesome gifts from my family...thought I would share a few with you...
I was so hoping to get a fragrance lamp from "Lampe Berger Paris".  Me and my Mom were on the same page - I gave her one as a gift and she gave me one.  So many scents to choose from I picked up "Green Apple" it really does work - filled the house with the crisp, clean smell of fresh green apples in a matter of a few minutes.
Do you have a favourite scent?

Another wonderful surprise was the iPad I received from my Husband...too funny because it's what I also got for him.



I had seen Diane Keaton on Ellen DeGeneres a little while back and she was talking about her book "Then Again" it's an autobiography and a story about her Mother and the countless journals she wrote throughout her life.  Great gift from my Daughter Gina...can't wait to get into this book.


A little bit of old school...my Son Frankie hit a homerun with this retro rotary phone knowing I have wanted one for some time.




I have to say as amazing as all the gifts were, my greatest moment of the day was going down the street to my Daughters house in our pajamas - no hair - no makeup before my beautiful grandaughter Madison woke up so we could see her excitement Christmas morning.

Happy Mother's Day

Here is my favourite photo from 1964.
 
It's of my Mom and Dad and me. 
Everything seemed so regal back then, everyone dressed so elegant for everyday.  My daughter looks at this picture and she can't get over how her Nana just had a baby and looked so slim and she gets a kick out of her wearing pearls...around the house!  She was only 19 in this picture.   Me - I think my Dad looks so handsome.  I love the hair flip.
Mother's Day next year, we will be celebrating with 4 generations in our family.
Happy Mother's Day!
