<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";">I would like
you meet Miss Ann… In my travels of hunting for the wonderful lovelies that I
find I get to meet a lot of amazing people usually women and Miss Ann Is one of
them..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";">She is just
shy of 98 years young and she still has a vintage store that she runs next to
her home. She is located in a small town, Los Banos Ca. I met Miss Ann about 3
years ago on a very hot summers day. Los Banos is located in the Central Valley
of California. Usually within the first 20 minutes I get use to the smell of
the dairy farms. It’s a quaint little farming town nestled between the coastal
mountain range and the Sierras. The fields are planted with alfalfa, tomato’s,
cotton and corn. Almond and walnut orchards are just a few of the orchards. In
the spring there is a Trail Of Blooms to follow throughout the valley… The San
Joaquin Valley has a special beauty to it…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";">Miss Ann and
her husband Charlie moved to Ca because of the dust bowl, they had heard California
had water!!! Her father moved with them, her mother passed away at a very young
age. When she spoke of her father she started to cry she said he was the most
wonderful man aside from her husband Charlie. It was so sweet to see and feel
her love for both her husband and father… Miss Ann and Charlie had 2 boys one
lives in Colorado and one lives close by. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";">Miss Ann
started her vintage busy by necessity… more to follow in part 2!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Stewartstown Pa first snow fall</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";">It seems
impossible that its been since August that I posted. Sometimes life throws you
a curve that just takes time to pick yourself up. My sister Celeste passed away
very suddenly. She went into the hospital for a tummy ache and 6 days later
passed away. She had an infection and didn’t know it. It was quite shocking to
have to say good bye to my sister. I miss her like crazy…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";">I took some
time to heal and just be…. I went and visited my sweet daughter Sarah in
Pennsylvania we did a lot of hiking on the NCR trail which is beautiful… They
had their first snow fall the day before Thanksgiving it was so lovely!!! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Its been many years since I have lived in
snow, I forgot how peaceful it is to watch the snow fall… <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";">I have lots
of new things starting to happen and I am grateful for the many opportunities that
are coming my way!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy";">It’s been a
bit since I have posted… to be very honest I have not been able to find the
words… May marked 1 year since my sweet dad passed away… My heart has been so
heavy missing him.. Yesterday morning I was sitting in front of my computer getting
ready to post on my blog. My darling grandson Max came in and said<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Gigi I just had the best dream ever!!! I said
really what was it about?? He looked at me and said well Gigi I don’t want to
make you cry… I said why would I cry? He said well it was about grandpa and you
cry when we talk about him.. So I said oh babe I won’t cry he looks at me a bit
skeptical and said ok… grandpa and I were walking through a forest rock hunting
and grandpa was telling me a story about a Indian scout.. That was my dad always
had a way of pulling you in with a story.. So as Max was telling me about his
dream with that sleepiness of just waking up and what a wonderful dream it was
for Max I finally got it… I need to be celebrating my dad’s life not mourning… Leave
it to a 10 year old to teach me a lesson on living!! So with that said I am off
to celebrating my time with my dad and I finally have peace in my heart…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

impossible that summer is in full swing… We have still mornings and the slight
ocean breeze in the afternoons and the nights are star studded with the sounds
of the ocean waves rolling in… I have lots of new treasures coming and my
studio is open for business which has been keeping me busy… <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting"; font-size: 11pt;">What a
fantastic day for picking!! I just happened to stop by a little</span><span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";"> shop that didn't look like that much
from the outside... but the inside was full of some very sweet treasures:) I
love the mirror it can be hung either way.. Finding trays, plates or bowls
with feet is one of my favorites. So when I saw this Depression Glass
footed bowl I was in love!!! The tea cups and saucers are sweet the one has
Mother writing in it... BUT finding this picture oh my gosh!!! I just love it,
there is a little bee on the flower the sweet bird and of coarse the beautiful
flowers.. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";">I just love days like today
wasn't really looking it just happened.. the best kind of days!!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Lucida Handwriting";">Well I am off again... you
just never know what you will find!!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
I love mornings, the quietness the anticipation's of what this new day will bring!! Its a new start everyday and you can decide what your attitude will bring to you... That's a wonderful thing in my book!!! Across the street from my sweet home is a elementary school. I love watching the children arriving in the mornings... They are so excited for the day, I hear their laughter and sometimes if the breeze is just right you can hear them sing... At Halloween they have their costume parade through the hallways it is sweet to watch. On some Fridays they have pajama day.. Then the end of the school year comes and you hear I will miss you teacher... and some cry I suppose summer break feels like a million years for these sweet souls. I know as a child summer seemed to never end and then the school year seemed to drag on:) <br />
<br />
I have this bird bath as you can see and this crow comes to it throughout the day.. Drinks out of it or baths... though the one thing it does that I find interesting is that Mr. Crow soaks its food in it. He will drop whatever it is in the water sometimes flips it around and other times drops it to soak and flies off to a nearby tree to keep a watchful eye on his lunch... I am reminded to have patience, Mr. Crow does he waits for whatever he soaking to be just right.. How many times have I rushed something just because I wanted it now....<br />
<br />
Well I totally got off my intended subject:) I guess it is meant for another day... <br />
<br />
Thank you for taking time to visit!!!<br />

Happy March!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know I am a little early with Spring but I just couldn't wait!!! We finally got some very over due rain here in California... I am so thankful but it was a drop in the bucket.. The good news is that my garden has really gone crazy this winter. My sweet peas and rose bushes continue to bloom and my lavender loves the warm dry weather... but we seriously need the rain!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lots has been happening at The Sweet Vintage Cottage B and B... I have had a steady stream of guest for the past two months!!! and March is booking quickly.. I got to host a small 50th birthday brunch for a very sweet lady and 6 of her friends.. For whatever reason I totally blanked on taking pictures of the table!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My new project is the backyard... The grass is all gone and now I am planning the flower beds. I am debating on putting up a clothesline?? Nothing like sleeping on freshly dried sheets that have been dried in the sunny sea air!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was grateful that the rain helped loosing up the dirt in the backyard, we have a very hard clay base here so its not always easy digging:) This project I have taken before pictures!!!</div>

Valentines Day is just around the corner one of my favorite days!!! I love sending out Valentine cards and little treats of yummies.. It is so much fun to give on this day.. I love the romance of the day, its just a day to remind us to tell someone I love you and that you are thinking of them:) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I want to say THANK YOU to all that sent in their Valentines Day cards for the VA hospital here in LA.. You have NO idea how happy these men are when I hand them a Valentine.. It amazes me every time I hand them out how thrilled they are for just a little ole card.. Very heart warming... I encourage all to give a little of your time to visit a VA hospital or retirement home.. I have to drive about an hour and half in LA traffic which trust me I never go into LA if I don't have to... It is so worth it though to visit and hear stories of these American hero's.. It just takes a little bit of your day:) Its well worth the smiles and hugs you get!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wish you all a very Happy Monday!!!</div>

Since I spent so much time at the VA Hospital with my sweet dad I saw a lot of very lonely veterans. So about 6 years ago I started making St Valentines for the Veterans in the hospital.. I can not tell you how much joy it brings them. When you hand them the Valentine they look at it and then say this is for me?? So very sweet and usually they ask for a hug... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So my sweet blogger friends I have a favor to ask... Would you each make 5 to 10 handmade Valentines for me to give out?? ohhh did I mention I make 400:) If you will email me and I will give you the particulars!!! Thank you so very much in advance!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I look forward to hearing from you all!!!!</div>

Welcome 2014</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A New Year always brings new hopes and dreams... I always take this time to reflect on last year remembering the wonderful memories learning from the hard times and accepting that life goes on after losing a love one...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lots of changes are coming for Sweet Vintage Home and Garden!! I am so excited for these changes!!! I won't be doing very many shows anymore just a few... My studio will be opened for business as of January 6th which is very thrilling for me:) as will be my new website!!! The other part of my business is the rental of my vintage china and flatware. I started doing this last year and I found I really liked it... I love vintage china probably a little obsessed with it:) I love sharing it with others..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The most important thing I will be doing this year is being in the moment... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is to a wonderful healthy peaceful 2014</div>

I just want to keep reminding everyone to relax and enjoy... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here a couple of tips: simple but we tend to forget about ourselves...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1) Take care of yourself as I said before a little quiet time to yourself will do you wonders!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2) try and take a 20 minute walk daily (I know my sweet friends back east its a bit brrrr)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3) Drink plenty of water and get rest:) I know easier said then done...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4) Say no WAIT what say no?? yes its ok NOT to over commit:)</div>

The holiday season is in full swing... No stopping it:) remember a few things.. Take some time for yourself 5 minutes even. Find a quiet place close your eyes and take a breath in and hold release it do this several times.. I find that just taking a few moments for myself regardless if I think need it or not:) really helps me find calmness in this otherwise hectic time of the year.. You might be calm but other peoples energy tend to affect us at times.. </div>

November is but a blurry memory!!! I did 3 shows in 3 weeks...WHEW!! Then I spent last week setting up for a 3 week trunk show that I am doing with my sister Cheryl at a very sweet friends studio here in Ventura!!! We opened on Saturday and boy what a whirlwind that was... I should of taken the after pictures before we opened:)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was so much fun setting up shop... I truly enjoy what I get to do and I feel so very blessed to have this amazing opportunity... We have new treasures coming in daily!! We have a little new and lots of vintage.. I will be posting items daily!! Oh and we have Annie Sloan Chalk Paint!!! If you have never tried this type of paint you have too its super easy to use... its a bit spendy but well worth the money..</div>

Seems impossible that in just 30 days we say good bye to 2013... How did that happen?? Now the hustle and bustle of the holiday season begins... I hope that you all will enjoy this magical time of year.. I know it can get crazy shopping, holiday parties, and family obligations can seem overwhelming at times... remember to live in the moment and do something nice someone:)</div>

My son Aaron and I took a day trip to the mountains yesterday and it was so beautiful!!! We found this old cabin we took a walk through it. As you walked in the floor was made from stones it was amazing.. It was like Snow Whites cottage in the forest, the fireplace was made of stone and the mantle was made from a tree branch... The cabinets in the kitchen all had the sweetest gingerbread trim and then the kitchen floor was the above flooring... I fell in love with it!!! I could so live there!!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We looked for pine cones for me to glitter for my biggest show of the year Remnants of the Past November 9th and 10th!!! Rachael Ashwell ( who I love) will be there on Saturday signing her newest book and then on Sunday Susan Branch (again another inspiration) will be signing her newest book... So excited!!!</div>

Loved my time with my baby Aaron:) I love love going into the mountains, the quietness and the colors so inspire me!!!! Between the country western we listened to on the way there our picnic by the creek and the discovery of the sweet cabin it was a perfect day!!!!</div>

One of my "Bucket List Items" is to have a B and B... So on a smaller scale I am doing Airbnb.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am offering a room and bath for rent on a nightly bases!! Light breakfast served, homemade scones freshly squeezed orange juice in the morning and afternoon tea... I am so excited for this new venture!! I want my guest to be cozy and relaxed.. They will have the use our beach cruisers for the short 10 minute ride to the beach to dip their toes in the ocean or watch the sunset... My studio is open for business so they can shop a little also:) Our sweet sleepy beach town offers great treasure hunting, whale watching, hiking in the Los Padres Forrest and so much more!!!</div>

My Lenny taught me to enjoy each moment it doesn't have to big just a moment smelling a rose stopping to watch the dolphin's play in the waves watching the sun slip so quietly into the ocean as another day ends... I grieve for my loss of my dad some days are better than others. I had a friend ask me a question the other day.. He asked me "Would you trade some of the happiest days of your life for not having to experience some of your saddest?" Times with my children, my dad and of coarse my days with Max the answer is a HUGE NO!!! So with that I will continue to enjoy the moments that turn into days and then into wonderful memories:)</div>

A little vignette for autumn</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have started to decorate for fall... As I say about all the seasons and holidays... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My favorite time of year:) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know I know I am always saying that.. Its just that there is so much to love about all seasons... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Winter brings a certain quiet calmness to life, for me life seems to slow down..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Spring brings flowers, trees with buds, hope and a sense of renewal...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Summer brings fresh cut grass, fun at the beach and lazy starry nights...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then there is fall the colors of the leaves yes we do have a change of seasons here... The full moon seems so big, the mornings have a little crisp in the air and pumpkins and mums decorate porches.. well at least my porch... Living back east for all those years fall became a very favorite part of my life.. Trimming bushes back packing up the patio furniture and planting bulbs took up my days. Of coarse there were back to school nights cupcakes to bake for classrooms and football games to cheer on Cory and Aaron and field hockey for Sarah... I guess with fall come some really wonderful memories of my three babies how blessed I am!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This summer has brought huge changes for me with my dads passing.. Learning how to live without one of the most important and loving people in my life... For me its a slow process but each day brings new hope and for that I am grateful...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lots of news to share big show coming up in November, my studio is finally done AND I am doing a Bed and Breakfast in my home.. Its called The Sweet Vintage Cottage!!! My opening date is October 1st!!! So excited for this new venture... Will post pictures soon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as always thanks for stopping by...</div>

My sunny bench!!!<br />
<br />
Seems like our summer is sunless this year... Living on the coast we are use to "May Grey" then "June Gloom"... BUT July is suppose to be sunny and warm... Though this year Mother Nature has other ideas:)<br />
I can't complain too much when I know there are droughts, too much rain and wild fires in many states including here California.. My youngest son Aaron is on the front lines fighting those fires, please keep him in your prayers!!!<br />
<br />
My sweet Max and I worked in the garden he is such a great helper!!! We cut flowers and planted some new pretties. Then Max and I made up some bouquets and delivered then to our newest neighbors.. Our neighborhood has been changing over the past few years. We have many younger families moving in with there little ones. Its really very nice to see this change.. Its bring a new life to this old 1950's hood:)<br />
<br />
I recently went picking in the central valley and good Lord was it ever hot there!!! No lack of sunshine there or more importantly amazing treasures.... I found so many sweet things it was fantastic.. Had a wonderful time, I spent time with a dear friend from high school, Donna.. Her home is so lovely can't wait to post the pictures.. She made me homemade scones both mornings with cream, soooo yummy!!! Will be posting my pictures of all my lovely finds and Donna's lovely home!!!<br />
<br />
Thanks so stopping by.....<br />

I can't believe that its the 4th of July already!!! It's one of my favorite days... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I lived in Pennsylvania and New Jersey I found a new favorite holiday!! Growing up</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
here in California we had celebrations... sparklers, homemade ice cream (peach my favorite) and watching </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the fireworks off the end of the pier was great.... BUT then I experienced celebrating our country's independence back east and it was amazing!!! The fireworks were amazing the barbeque's the parades just everything was sooo wonderful...Everyone always decorated their front porches and a flag flying... Celebrating the 4th of July always bring back those wonderful memories...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The past few months have been very life changing for me, with my dad he passing away on May 16th. He had lived with me for the past six years... I miss him like crazy!!! When I painted out back he would sit with me helping me prime or sanding:) He gave me great ideas and was my biggest cheerleader.. The Little French Flea Market was my first market since my Lenny passed away and it very different coming home and he wasn't there to greet me and say "well how did you do babe?" It was a bit empty... He gave me that great love of finding a treasure he was always on the look out for me... So with that I will continue to pick:) and I know my Lenny is still cheering me on!!!</div>

I am sorry I haven't been keeping up on my blog...<br />
<br />
It's with a heavy heart beyond words that I share that my sweet father Lenny has passed away... He fell ill was taken to the hospital via ambulance, 2 days later it was decided he would come home on hospice within 5 days he was gone. My dad has lived with me for 6 years. His health wasn't the greatest but he managed. Last October he had another large heart attack that really took the wind out of his sails... I have been truly blessed with the time I have had with my sweet dad. He never complained and trust me he had lots of pain but never said a word.... He made me laugh usually at myself and not take things so seriously:) he was a prankster and always rooted for the underdog:) he was my hero!!!! He always encouraged me and was always so excited to hear how I did at my shows... He helped me put things together and gave me great ideas.. He was the best..<br />
<br />
I miss him like crazy!!!<br />
<br />
Xoxo<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am getting ready for a couple of shows, April 20th and 21st is the Little French Flea Market which is in Trazana Ca and then May 5th and 6th is the Three Speckle Hens show in Paso Robles. I am so excited to do these shows. I am doing a garden and outdoor living theme. Which brings me to the above wagon... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have had this wagon for at least 10 years, it has had many jobs... I bought it at a yard sale a little on the rustic side... Now it has aged a little more and I think has more character:) I had it on my porch with terra cota pots planted with flowers, then Max came along and then it was his ride to the park... It still has a lot of life left in it!!! So its next job is as a planter!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I put some packing peanuts in the bottom of the wagon to help with drainage. Normally I use pebbles in the bottom of my pots but the peanuts make moving the wagon a lot easier (less weight) next spread your potting soil, lightly water then add a little more soil and the best part plant whatever your heart desires!!!. Can't wait for this to grow in!!! Its such a lovely addition to your garden, patio or just sitting in your yard..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will post pictures when it's all grown in!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A vintage chick peeking out... soo sweet<br />
<br />
I love spring and what it means.. A new start, for me its the start of the new year...<br />
The years I lived back east when the snow started to melt the green grass was poking up I started my hunt for the first crocus... I loved seeing the purple and yellow crocus making their way up from their long winter sleep... I knew when I saw the first one that warmer days were just weeks away... I had planted 20 bulbs year 1 by year 3 I had over a hundred coming up all over my 1/4 acre front yard.. My neighbor told me that the gophers were the blame because they moved them everywhere.. Whatever was spreading them my yard was beautiful.. Thinking back now I wish I had taken pictures...Spring is always such an event after a long cold winter!!!<br />
<br />
I found 3 bags of vintage Easter basket grass a few years ago and I have used it over and over.. The purple and blue large eggs I glittered.. My poor Lenny had glitter all over him for days:) I glitter in the backyard and because of the afternoon ocean breeze I have no control over the glitter:) <br />
<br />
Happy Easter and Happy Spring!!!<br />

I LOVE these old Postcards!!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They make me smile, the colors and just the pure sweetness of them!!! It was such a simple time back then, the address on theback of them is usually a name and a town that's it...</div>

So much to tell.. Lots of shows coming up.. The Little French Flea Market April 20th and 21st Three Speckle Hens Show May 5th and 6th... Sooo that means I have A LOT of work in front of me to get done!!! I am going to do more of lovely old bird baths and vintage cement animals.. I am planting an old wagon cant wait to see it grow in!!! Will show you the progress on it:) I love to garden so that's why I usually tend to have more garden items!!! We have had a colder than usual winter and very dry we are 8 inches below our "normal rain fall." Our foothills are usually green and full of purple Lupines Yellow Mustard flowers and of coarse our California poppies.. Nothing really yet. Hopefully our April showers will bring May flowers!!!!</div>
