Wedgewood Plate with a story

 Found this Wedgewood Plate at an Estate Sale. Love the pretty light blue and intricate white filigree design.

  I turned the plate around in search for a price tag. To my surprise there was note with the following inscription:

                                   CHRISTMAS 1975

These Wedewood plates were given to Vivian and I on our 33rd .Wedding Anniversay, May 16th.1964 while on our Carribbean Cruise on the Grace Lines Santa Paula by 4 women who sat at the same table with us in the Dining Room. Their names were Mrs.Anne White, Mrs.Sally Kulkis, Mrs.Muriel Lord and Janie Buford. They became real good friends and we correspond on every Christmas. We would like you to have these Jack & Gail for your keepsakes.

 Isn't it amazing that someone took the time to write down the names of the 4 woman from the Carribbean Cruise? I'm intriqued how Gail and her Husband married 33 years back in 1964 which would have them married in 1931???. That was 36 years ago! Here this little plate is now displayed for Blogging and sits proudly in my living room.

My Little Garden Patch

This is my first hand at gardening. All my family and friends garden yet I always felt too impatience or didn't want to get dirty.Thoughts of dirt under my nails didn't feel appealing. Yet, Mother nature has been calling, so to speak. Lately there's been several yard sales with garden type items. A few weeks ago I bought my first gardening hat and it gave me the wanna be green thumb vibe. Being a novice, I hurried and planted  without reading the directions.  I may have possibly mixed the seeds so who knows what may grow. Hey,maybe I created a new plant or vegetable? No matter what grows, it's my own  little unique garden. Can't wait to hit the yard sales tomorrow to add a little more.  

Love your Lashes!
