Hollyhocks

A Slippery Slope

 
 

 
 
Rory went for her first pedicure on Saturday...I know, today it's an ice cream scrub pedicure...tomorrow it's spray tans and hair extensions...Mommy quits her job to do the pageant circuit... Not this girl...she has her twin to keep her from getting too girly-girly. She has, however, entered every room  since Saturday and announced "Look my pretty toes" to all present. Ahhh, how to preserve that confidence and unbridled joy!

 

There's No Denying It

 
I love to bargain and I love purple. This is the first time I have seen an amethyst Mason jar in person and I LOVE these little bobbins...

 
Do you knw about these jars? I have read that they were made of clear glass that contained magnesium. When the magnesium was exposed to light, it turned the jars purple. That was a lucky accident. It's local too.The jars are fairly rare and I was lucky to get this one at a good price...of course now I want to collect more. I do love to go to estate sales and poke around, dirty hands and all.

 
I am  hoping to get the rest of my plants in the ground today if I can keep Bonnie and Clyde (seen here at the Memorial Day parade) occupied. Big plans for tomorrrow...I will write about it next week if I can get some good photos. Until then, thanks for checking in and keep your eyes open for amethyst glass jars for me!

Thank you for visiting Hollyhocks!
