Of Grad and Gifts…

Next week our oldest Grandson will graduate from High School. As many other bloggers have said…”Where has the time gone?”
We are very proud of this guy…he has always been a ray of sunshine in our lives.

This summer he plans on going to Latvia with GEM to teach English, and he is enrolled in the faculty of Education for the fall. My Dad, his Great Grandfather, was a teacher so he would be so proud!All this grad talk started me thinking about my own high school grad, in 1955…yes, that’s right …55 years ago! I was only 16 then (another story) and had met this nice young man, who later became my dear hubby. He drove 400 miles to attend my grad, and gave me a nice gift too…a rhinestone necklace (all the rage then) I brought it out yesterday for a photo.005-2 …and a closeup…011-2
I think I’ll wear it when I attend the grad ceremony next week, or maybe to the grad party…

Victoria…and Me

To see larger photos, click to enlarge.. The May-June 2009 Victoria magazine is one of my favorites, featuring blue and white... one of the open pages with an article on linens...it just happens that I have one of the patterns... There is also a feature on blue and white Wedgewood ... I have photographed some of my pieces alongside the article... ....here is my interpretation of blue and white... As a nod to the current issue of Victoria, which features some tea tables in green, I have  set out my own little tea table, with some scones... ...or perhaps you'd like to help yourself to a chocolate-cherry morsel? On this spring day, I am joining in with : Celebrate Spring http://blissfulrhythm.blogspot.com/ Mary's Mosaic Monday, on whose blog you will see some lovely snowdrops: http://dearlittleredhouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/mosaic-monday-snowdrops.html Also,   Sandi is having a special tea party today, so be sure to go over there and enjoy her lovely blog
