  4. OOOOOOOOOOO! Oh dearest, I have missed you; my email account was bouncing back emails to me, but I think it was finally repaired. THEN, Ruben was on the computer all day yesterday, and when he was finally done, we went out on one of our famous Sunday excursions! O.K., now for the important stufff..........THAT ARMOIRE! OH!!!! YOU MUST BE TICKLED PINK, like the PINK LADY! OHHHHHHH! And then that French chair!!! It is EXACTLY, only upholstered differently from MY FRENCH CHAIRS! And that drawing;..........talk about FLAIR.....dearest, YOU HAVE IT! YOU HAVE IT ALL!!! I LOVE this post...it is all YOU, all the beautiful things that fill your home and are part of your history! Dear one, when did you paint that lovely drawing? You and Brit know how to capture EYES! WOW....this is a jump start to my Monday morning dear; I missed you so much this weekend! I made two homemade books and then my settee came in; I was not able to send out the pictures, but I will try tonight when I get home. I have to run now, BUT THANK YOU FOR PLAYING TAG WITH US! It all started with a French woman and sweet heart in France name, MARIE-ANGE...Marie Angel....Like my grandma, Maria de los Angeles!

    HAVE A FABULOUS MONDAY and I will catch up tonight! Love, Anita

  5. Penny, Such a beautiful chair. I am afraid it would be lost in my house full of rustic antiques and would be covered with kitty hair within minutes! But at least you get to enjoy it. The prayer book is a dear heirloom for you, how lovely.

  6. Hi Christel
    So nice to see you at my door.. You know, it has been years since I have bought anything for my humble little home.. When I saw that chair, I just had to have it.. I am so happy you enjoyed viewing..
    What a gift it would be if we could actually meet someday, sit and exchange thoughts and ideas, just enjoy each others company... Thank you for always showing your support and your kind words.
    Blessings
    Penny

  9. Oh I think Monday nights are my favorite 'cause I get to visit all night long with blogger friends. I thank YOU dearest Penny for visiting me again, and this armoire with the quilted interior....oh dear, can you get more French than this....you found an incredible buy here!!!! What are you going to use it for??? PRETTY LINENS? MISS BEBE AND HER FRIENDS? Whatever you select to put in it, it will be so lovely, half opened, maybe? OOOOO, the possibilities are endless!

    GROSSES BISES, Anita

  12. Lovely post Penny! I especially love the picture of the ocean your son sent to you.... Sigh.... So beautiful. All of your things are very pretty but your grandfather's bible is something to treasure always. You did a great job with the tag. Thank you for sharing.

  13. Dear Anita
    My intention was to use the Armoire for my guilts and linens.. This old house has very little space for such things.. I hope your evening is restful dear friend..

    Yes, the ocean looks so beautiful.. One of God's amazing gifts.. I too, love this bible.. I am a little afraid to touch the pages anymore, they are so brittle. Thank you for coming by Carol. I must come over and see what you and Charli are doing.

  16. How I loved slowly viewing this post, Penny, and getting to know you a little better. Your home must be beautiful. Especially with these new additions, accented with sentimental treasures like the prayer book to linger over.

    My days are beginning to speed up again with Christmas drawing nearer, but I wanted to stop by and let you know I am thinking of you. And Bebe too. Will we be seeing a new version of her soon?! The children are asking...
    lovingly, Rose

  17. Traveling with Penny on her blog is such pure delight. How fun that Anita tagged you for this fun post. My favorite is the prayer book...I love that.

    I had such a relaxing day yesterday on my day off...well kind of...I was called to work from 5am to 9am and up I came out of bed and did not complain. But when 9am hit...the bow came out of my hair, I washed the make up off and got into my PJ'S. I even walked the dogs in my PJ'S...you have to live life and take a few risk down the sidewalk of life.

    I sent you the first little envelope from Goodies Paper Parade...just for a fun moment in time.

  20. Dear Penny, Hope this message finds you well. I am missing my friends lately...You, Pat, Anita, Rose and Jackie all are so similar, yet different as well. I think we must all share a kindred spirit, a sisterhood of sweet souls. Have a wonderful day, just wanted to say hello, and let you know you were thought of with a warm heart today. With Love, Christel
