Slip your tootsies

into something

COMFORTABLE!

I'll put on a

POT OF TEA

Gramma's
LIMOGE POT!


And what's

TEA


without some

TREATS??




I understand if you're

TOO TIRED

We can just admire the

Please stop to visit her today and give her a hug. Lisa ... wish we could go to Paris today .... might not cure the sniffles, but perhaps we wouldn't care!!

Pink Saturday! 2010 Sweet Ride!

Mmmm ....

Lookin' for a sweet

pink ride for

2010!

Tell us, SAMMY GIRL!

WHOA!

Not a VESPA ...

.... but THAT WOULD

meet the

definition of a sweet ride ...

Well, then ..... ??

Sammy Girl

metaphorically

means a sweet ride ...

Something sweet ....

Like

"having a go"

at something.

Trying something new.

Miss Maggie Rose

(isn't she stunning!!)

and I

will be participating in the

4 Friends 4 Sales

show!!

Kinda like jumping off a cliff ...

an adrenaline rush!

But there to cheer us on

the other Friends

Molly Mo

Vintage Trifles

Auntie Joy

NOW

you see why

2010 looks like a sweet ride?

SO MUCH FUN

IS ON IT'S WAY !!

MARCH 13th

Stay tuned for more details

about my fabulous location

and more!

Happy Pink Saturday and here's to trying something new, exciting, and a little scary in 2010!

SAMMY GIRL

note: please drop by and tell the other friends "hi" and thanks for letting Sammy Girl play with them. Oh, and mark your calendar for a great day of playing, shopping, and having fun! (And please tell me it's okay to jump off this cliff -- even if it's not. Aren't friends SUPPOSED to tell little white lies to make us feel better??) And sorry for the spacing snafus ... this new computer is still a little bit headstrong and not playing well with blogger ... and YES ... that was my secret with the white roses and mercury glass vases (a trial for the table with yummy treats!)

White Wednesday - New Beginnings ....

Dark winter night

brightened by

WHITE

on the kitchen

windowsill.

A bit of sparkle

banishes the gloom

and

plays well with others!

The Haeger vase

just waits for

spring flowers.

A shell beacons

me to

a sunny summer beach.

The faithful

cyclamen

embraces winter

and makes me smile.

She wears a bit of

jewelry ....

an old silver fork

with

blooms of its own.

The kitchen counter

respelendent

with mercury glass

and white roses

is in dress rehearsal.

They have a

secret surprise.

It's going to be a

great year!

Hugs and here's to celebrating all the possibilities of the New Year!

SAMMY GIRL

note: this is the FIRST post with my new computer. None of the programs or files would transfer (yet!) ... but I had some pictures in my camera.

Silver lining ...

They say every cloud has one ...

The CLOUD

Computer #1

fried motherboard

sounds like swearing, but it's not --
well ......

if it's fried there
might be
some swearing!

Anyhooo ...

manuafacturer problem
but off warranty ...

it's beginning to rain

under this cloud!

Computer #2

(the one that speaks
Russian)

a broken monitor screen.

Only 1/4 of screen visible

cannot perform

ANY

functions.

Honestly ..

my touch was as soft as a


I think it had
ISSUES

(like many 6 year olds!)

So now it's

STORMING

under the clouds!

The silver lining?

Mr. Sammy Girl
is taking me

COMPUTER SHOPPING

tonight!

Hugs and may you always see the silver in the storm ....

SAMMY GIRL

ps ... had to use the computer from work to post this!

Pink Saturday - Optimistically

Looking at life through

rose-colored glasses

"with an attitude that things

are better than they really are"

Hmmmmm

Being an optimist

has options ....

Sorta retro 80's/90's

(what is this style callled?)

And

(of course!)

classic cat-eye frames ...

complete with just a bit

of

BLING!

Something a little more

straightforward ...

business woman or

super hero disguise

(a la Clark Kent)

But even an optimist

can have a

bad day.

What's a gal to do

when the world hits

ya a good one?

Why talk to her

eternally optimistic

best friend.

Try to get a little different

perspective ...

(love the glitz and bling on those opera glasses!)

Or maybe just sit by the fire.

Things might look better

with pink glasses of bubbly.

The best pink lens to use

to see the world?

Just sayin' ...

No matter how rough the

setback

you can be an optimist

if you know the happy ending.

Hugs and here's to maintaining a positive attitude in tough times ...

SAMMY GIRL

note: for more Pink Saturday with decor, collectibles and everything imaginable, visit Beverly at How Sweet the Sound here (or click on the Pink Saturday button on my sidebar).

Also, if you know Kathy from Mimi's Garden (click here to visit if you don't know her blog) please ask her how she has my Great Gramma's cookie jar. Seriously! I couldn't believe it ... although the lid to gramma's broke way back in the 60's, so perhaps it's a different one ... maybe.

I'm iN LovE!

Mmmm...

Look what I found!

Well ... sorta!

I found it at

Show and Tell Friday

Hosted by

Cindy

(My Romantic Home)

This is one of her pics

from a jaunt to

Alameda.

ISN'T IT GORGEOUS!!

Lots more Lovelies

to see at the

42 other blogs

participating.

Gotta Go ....

my heart is calling!

Hugs and have a fabulous Friday (and maybe fall in love!)

SAMMY GIRL

Seen Around ... A "Pick Me" Up!

Some mornings

you just need

an infusion of this

And soon you might

CELEBRATE

friends, lovers and family

with something like this

Soooooo ....

Maybe you should get yourself over

HERE

Ya see ....

Miss Debbie

(My Shabby Roses)

has just opened her etsy store

and is having a

GIVEAWAY

which includes a

Starbucks Card!

I'm just sayin'...

SOMEBODY'S

GONNA WIN

Might be You!

Hugs and here's to Celebrating Today!

Sammy Girl

Seen Around .... It Speaks to Me!

Sometimes a picture is worth

1,000 words.

Sometimes just one will do.

My word for this picture?

COMFY

What makes it say comfy to me?

painted wood floors

(harlequin pattern a plus!)

wide blinds with cream twill tape

binoculars in the window

chippy trunk/coffee table

(could be a packing crate)

wooden or paper mache' tray

creamy curtains

lacey pillows (LOTS!)

fresh tulips (far right)

roses and hyaciths

(smell-a-'puter anyone?)

white tin can vase

two non-matching (maybe funky?) end tables

MORE flowers on the left

big fat comforter

metal/iron twin bed or daybed

sweater-y or knit leggings

sheet or throw to snuggle in

little poppet fast asleep

KNOW WHAT I THINK?

This must be my beach house

we are tired from looking for shells

and poppa keeps watching for whales.

Now THAT's comfy!

Thanks, Debra

(Common Ground)

for sharing this pic

on White Wednesday!

Hugs and wishing you a comfy interlude today!

Sammy Girl

note: sometimes I see pictures or verses that blog friends have shared ... and I think about them all day long. Think I might start sharing some of those things that make me smile ... hope you don't mind!

White Wednesday - Game Plan for 2010

It's 2010.

Do you have a mascot for this

New Year?

If not,

how about something

wearing a

white coat?

Ooops ....

Not exactly what I meant.

(but Suri Cruise IS a cutie!)

A

POLAR BEAR

perhaps?

Cute and Loveable

Yep ...

I could go for that

kinda image.

But wait!

Endangered ...

Threatened Habitat ...

Not MY choice

of lifestyle

for 2010.

Although I must say

their sheer

AWESOMENESS

and

ATTITUDE

got them into the finals!

Instead I'm

thinkin'

2010

should be my year of the

white rabbit.

Hmmm ....

still got the

cute and loveable

vibe going ...

but I meant

THIS

I don't get it

Sammy Girl!!!

Well ...

The White Rabbit

gets the story started ...

He's always

just around the

corner ...

And you just

HAVE

to follow!

Sometimes things

may be confusing ...

but

WHAT AN ADVENTURE!

Here's to a year of

fun

excitement

new challenges

laughter

adventure

... looking incredible in a fur coat ...

(Library of Congress 1917)

and crazy tea parties, lol!

Let's get this party started!

Hugs and Happy 2010

Sammy Girl

note: If you are feeling like a polar bear ... threatened due to financial circumstances or an abusive situation ... TELL SOMEONE! Just like the organizations created to protect and preserve polar bears, there are people all around you who can help you and make a difference in your life. If you see someone who cannot speak up for themselves, please care enough to get involved. Thanks, and let's make this an awesome year for EVERYONE!
