Thirty three years and counting! Yes, I've been married 33 big ones! Those of you who read this blog regularly know how "blog shy" the hubby is...can't even mention his name (!) but I can't pass this opportunity to let you know about his kindness to me.
Our anniversary was actually yesterday, but being a coach's wife has made me very flexible when it comes to celebrating big events. We celebrated today. We began the day with breakfast made by him! Then onto Magee, Mississippi where we dropped by Gene Polk's Drug Store. What on earth, you are asking yourself!! Well, Polk's in Magee happens to have one of the largest inventories of Peter's Pottery in the state!! I was treated to this statement, (are you ready?!) "Whatever you want!" Music to my half deaf ears!! So he waited in the car as I surveyed the whole realm of pottery and made my selection!

Close your mouth...you ARE gasping, aren't you? It's the jade and nutmeg swirly cotton row VASE!
For those of you from Mississippi, you know the quality and beauty of Peter's Pottery. This vase is heavy and tall and WONDERFUL! Then on to Trees and Trends in Hattiesburg. I needed some greenery for the vase. 40% off works for me!! Now home to "flutter" as he calls it.
This is my mantel before. Adequate, but nothing to write home about.
This is the mantel with a few updates for spring and the big Mamajama vase.
(I know, you don't like the brass fireplace enclosure. But we do, so it's staying.)

I bought this oil painting at a garage sale years ago...I still love it...primitive as it may be.
I love the new look and truly appreciate the "Whatever you want" sentiment...lol. I am blessed to have been given such a good man.
Blessings and joy-filled hours on this Saturday,
