<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Taking a forlorn piece of discarded furniture from what it was to Who it really deserves to be is such fun!</span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;">This sweet little desk was absolutely darling, but not in good shape at all. She hadn't been loved or cared for and had some pretty rickety joints. Her hand built drawers didn't fit and her legs were very wobbly. After a lot of tender lovin' fixin', by my wonderful handy dandy husband...she could stand stand up straight and start to feel like she was worth something. All she needed was a pretty dress and some fancy shoes and to the party she could go! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;">Her transformation was such fun! Almost a Cinderella Story! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Introducing......"ANTOINETTE'</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;">With her fancy gold leafing and vibrant colors she is now dressed</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;">for the party and will surely be turning heads!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;">I thought it would be fun to share her with you! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;">so....the moral of the story is to Always Know that with a little fixin' and a lovely new dress to the party we can go!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hoping you can find something fun to dress up today!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;">Happy Day, Loves!</span></span><br />

<div style="clear: both; text-align: CENTER;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span></span><br />
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <span style="font-size: small;">'My Aqua Monday'</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I have a Very Precious Friend who always reminds me to have a "Happy Monday".</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">For some reason it seems Mondays can be a bit overwhelming, and her sweet reminder helps me to put everything in perspective....and then I sigh...and when I sigh the sweetness of her words fall over me.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">She has encouraged me to remember that Mondays can be for simple, wonderful things...and not a huge list of breathless 'to-dos'.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I love this about her and I want you all to have this little gift in your pocket for the Mondays that seem too big.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Because of her, my Mondays are now...</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">No Rushing!<br />
A cup of coffee with a dear friend...</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">A walk in the fresh air...</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The quiet of just being still...</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">and...listening...because when we listen the amazing thing is that we cannot rush or worry or be stressed.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></span> </div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">My Mondays were always a swirl of things I had to get done...(Because I see everything in color), I saw hundreds of colors, and I would get overwhelmed. Now...my Mondays are Aqua, which is her favorite color, soft and calming and never swirling!</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I made this painting on a Monday because this is what they feel like to me now... </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Have a Happy Monday, Loves</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;">and remember...you can paint your day any color you choose!</span> </span></span></div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">So...today is frosting practice day.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">My Darling Daughter...The Precious Bride to be...found the most wonderful old recipe. It is Incredibly Delicious...with a few little tweeks.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Old Fashioned Flour Frosting</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">1 cup of cold whole milk</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">5 tablespoons of flour</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Whisk the flour into the cold milk and bring to a boil.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Cook until it gets really thick, like a paste</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Take it off of the heat and stir in vanilla</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Set aside until completely cool...let it cool on it's own.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Beat 1 cup of butter with 1 cup of white sugar and 1/2 cup of brown sugar until light and fluffy</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">When flour and milk mixture is cool beat into the sugar and butter!!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Oh My Goodness! Heaven on a spoon!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">This is the first practice day and I think this frosting gets a Great Big Star!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Now we just have to figure out if it will hold up or melt into a sweet, delicious puddle.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>

<pre><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.</span></span></pre>

<tr> <td style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; padding: 15px 0px 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I was five years old when My Dearest Auntie asked me what color Love was to me....I said... "PINK"...and every single year from that moment on she planted the most beautiful PINK tree in the whole wide world... on My Birthday!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> I was forty three when God took her Home....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">An incredible birthday each year, an acre of PINK IN BLOOM!!!!! The most amazing sight and feeling! The sweet fragrance of a million blossoms and the softness of a Pink Cloud in full bloom above me is something I will never forget! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The first tree she planted for me was a Japanese Flowering Cherry. It was just outside her biggest window and the most magnificent of all! Always in it's full glory on My Day. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">We would sit and marvel at it's beauty and size. Every family picture was taken under it...'Our Favorite.' With each coming year we anticipated how beautiful it would be.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> On my birthday in 1993 the phone rang and she said..."Darling, the cherry tree didn't bloom this year!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I gasped, and we both cried!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Two weeks later, she went to Heaven..........</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Such a story of Love! Of listening and knowing a little girl's heart and understanding, even then, what beauty meant to me. I will always marvel at how she knew how to love me...and how she was able to make all things special and wonderful!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">When I arrived back home, (I had moved away), most of MY PINK CLOUD was still in bloom...but not...'Our Favorite!' I stood there under it feeling so alone and sad, and as I looked down, right out of the bottom of the trunk, there was a tiny twig...with one PINK BLOSSOM! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I knew at that moment that God wanted me to know I was not alone and that I was Loved!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Even though I live far away now, I know that the bloom of Spring is just around the corner and MY PINK TREES will be in their glory! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Thinking of My Auntie this morning and My Precious Gift I put together a Pink Treasury on My Etsy Page to share with all of you.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I have been pondering on the year and thinking of all of the Love that it held. Have you ever thought of that?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">My Precious Grandchildren giggling as they walk into the house and call out..."Nana"...makes me feel like a warm blanket of Love just wrapped all around me!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The thoughtfulness of My Wonderful Husband...each and everyday...is as tho, even without a word, he can surround my world in Amazing Love!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">All of My Children home at the same time is Love to me. The fact that they simply "Made It Happen"...feels like being in God's arms!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">'Tis the Season'...and I have found myself way too busy...as usual!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">How about you?...are you realizing, right about now, that there just isn't enough time to make it or bake it or create it?...me too!...and so for today, I have decided to do just one little thing...Write a note!...just one...by hand...that tells one person one thing about them that is special to me. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">That's all...and then I am going to walk to the mail box and mail it.</span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">This cool autumn morning has me thinking of my Grandma and how she loved to cook. I remember her always in the kitchen and that she never had her apron on without her pearls!</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Everything she did was lovely and beautiful and everything she made was absolutely scrumptious!</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Thinking of her has made me miss her and my tummy homesick for her cooking...and so, without further ado, I am going to make My Grandma's Apple Pie!..out with the rolling pin and apples and on with the pearls and the "Cutest Apron Ever"!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">2 sticks of butter </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">2cups of flour </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">3 tbsp brown sugar </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">bit of salt </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">1/4 teaspoon baking powder </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">4 tablespoon ice cold water with 1 tbsp. vanilla <br />
<br />
Stir flour, salt and baking powder together cut in chilled butter with fork or pastry blender until crumby, (I use the food processor). Add the vanilla ice water mixture one tablespoon at a time, stirring with fork until dough sticks together but not really wet. <br />
Make two balls and chill for a while before rolling it out.</span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">10 apples sliced thin<br />
1 1/2 cups of brown sugar (a little less if apples are really sweet) Honey Crisps...if you can find them are wonderful! <br />
2/3 cup water minus 1 tablespoon<br />
1 tablespoon lemon juice<br />
3 tablespoons of flour<br />
2 teaspoons cinnamon<br />
1/4 cup of sugar<br />
1 tablespoon of Brandy<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla<br />
4 tablespoons butter<br />
1/2 teaspoon salt <br />
<br />
Mix the brown sugar and water in saucepan add lemon juice and apples. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes or until apples are starting to get tender. Using a slotted spoon, put apples into a bowl and set aside. Add flour and granulated sugar to saucepan, stir and cook until it thickens...then add butter, salt, vanilla, brandy, apples and cinnamon. Cool a bit, add to rolled out bottom crust in pie dish. <br />
Roll out the top crust and place over apples, cut vent slits. Brush with beaten egg white decorate with leaves cut from left over dough and sprinkle it with raw sugar. <br />
<br />
Bake at 400 degrees for about 35 to 45 minutes<br />
or until crust is perfect. If browning too fast reduce heat to 375 degrees and cover edges with foil. <br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The most beautiful nest and perfect blue eggs!</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Why was it on my path?</span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I love nests! I am always pondering...how on earth can one tiny bird, with no hands, build such a perfect home for something as fragile and delicate as teeny eggs and babies without feathers?</span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">and so...a precious reminder to me to make My Nest cozy and warm and soft and wonderful for a winter season at home with my loved ones.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I made an oil painting of My Gift to be always reminded of how important Our Nests are and what a Gift it is to have one to make wonderful!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Inspiration... a little round pumpkin and one of my little round bowls!....and out popped a little round Pumpkin Cake!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">You can do this too, Loves, with any round bowls and your yummiest spice cake recipe. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Put a recipe in each bowl, whip up a warm caramel filling and stick the rounds together just after they come out of the oven... wrap tight and put in freezer, (makes them really moist and cools them quick.)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> "Pumpkin Orange" frosting was really fun to make...(cream cheesy, of course)...lots of yellow and a bit of red.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> Frost when cool enough and find the perfect pumpkin stem...and there you have it! Delicious, Darling, Fun ...and You created it!!!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Happy Day to you all! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Thank You for visiting Poppy House!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">This is my very first post and I thought it would be fun to tell you a bit about my inspirations.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Art has been my lifelong passion and to create...for me...is to breathe! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I am constantly inspired by all of the beauty that God has created...whether it be the softness of a pink petal or the laugh of a child.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">In the last few years, my focus has shifted from large-scale murals in private homes to hand painting my original designs on handmade earthenware clay pottery.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Each and every one of my designs are straight from my heart.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I hope you enjoy!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">This design was so much fun! I am always drawing "all over design" with little treasures hiding in them..birds and feathers and nests and bugs and such...This piece is a part of my childhood, I think, because looking for hidden surprises in those fun coloring books always made me so happy!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">We just got home from staying at the sea...the air was moist and fresh and the beautiful blue water inspired this sweet bowl. It could be filled to the brim with fresh fruit and all things delicious or would be lovely just sitting on your counter as a pretty bright spot!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Are there colors that make you think of the sea, Loves? </span></span>Poppy House http://www.blogger.com/profile/10002971331918126328noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-370748568879894640.post-63326941920162743262010-10-27T15:47:00.000-07:002014-02-12T10:44:51.811-08:00New Pieces of Pottery are "Poppy-ing" out daily!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">My Geraniums are still in full bloom and so I just had to honor them and paint this pitcher. It looks like a Garden Party and is perfect for lemonade or anything yummy!</span></span>Poppy House http://www.blogger.com/profile/10002971331918126328noreply@blogger.com0
