SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY 4.21.13

Saturday 4.20.13 @ 4:35pm
I missed blogging this past week!
I was in Sacramento --- spending my days reading  --- scoring grants doesn't seem as if it would be difficult --- but I got tired of sitting, pencil in hand, blurry-eyed --- such long days!
BUT, it WAS great to see my friends
from all parts of California. 

Glad to be home!

This week's SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY "finds" are: HAPPINESS, SPRING IN BLACK & WHITE, FAMILY (or FAITH), FUZZY & GATHERING (or PROVIDE).
Hop over to RAMBLING & PHOTOS for a peek at the other SHS postings. 

HAPPINESS
HAPPINESS is spending time "browsing" --- fabric stores (especially all the buttons), craft stores (ahh, paper & pens) & spending some time with Allie-Bug... last weekend, we spent some time at the fabric store & a yarn shop.

SPRING in BLACK & WHITE
Clipped some "flowering jasmine" to enjoy in the house --- a little touch of SPRING IN BLACK & WHITE (actually, the blossoms are white with a tinge of pink - see first photo)!
BTW --- the blur is an audio CD that I've almost finished. Have you read The Language of Flowers, by Vanessa Diffenbaugh? you must --- it's a fabulous read!

FAMILY
These tins remind me of FAMILY! As a child, a FAMILY treat was a foil wrapped box Cracker Jack's! I especially loved those little prizes. My daughters, SLE & ACE, would probably say their favorite FAMILY treat was So'Mores (graham cracker, a bit of milk chocolate & a toasted marshmallow) made over a campfire. 

FUZZY
Last weekend at Allie's, as the sun was going down, I noticed this FUZZY, orange & navy blue cloud, floating across the sky. 

GATHERING
It's happening! our cottage cheese ceilings are coming down. The contractor will scrape, retexture and add crown molding. To save money, we're happy to have them use their standard ceiling paint (Behr - Swiss Coffee & I don't remember the color for the crown molding). I'll be painting the walls in our condo --- JPE & I started GATHERING paint colors. SOOO excited! 

 Okay - so, I challenge you to get your camera out & join us for SHS. To get you started, here are the words to look for this coming week: WALKING, YUMMY to my TUMMY, FAVORITE TOY, WHAT I DID THIS WEEK & ANYTHING (I think this means, your choice)!!

    Nice grouping of pictures for this week's hunt. The buttons and their containers are cute and I can only imagine how lovely the jasmine smelled.

    Flowering jasmine - one of my favorite flowers. In fact I have perfume that has jasmine in it, I like it that much.

    Love the buttons shot too-so cute!

    Love those buttons! I don't sew but I love buttons. :)
    The toys in Cracker Jack just can't compare to what we used to get.
    That cloud behind those trees has such lovely colors - nice capture!

    Those tins are great! You are the third person who has mentioned that book this week! I think I'd better add it to my "to read" list.

    Being the old geezer that I am I really liked the old tins. But they predate even me. When our dad went on business trips he would bring brother and I each a three pack of cracker jacks. Oh we were in hog heaven. Strangely enough I had never heard of smores until I was well over 30 years old. I also like going to craft stores with my camera. Lots of photo ops but now I know to check the buttons. I'm also a lot more interested in stuff like paint, crown molding and such.
