Looking Back at the Projects and Memories of March

                March has been a busy month at my house both with projects and a visit from my girlfriend Carol.  I look forward to her visits for all the fun we have visiting, shopping and of course our talks on  solving the World's problems! ;) As she tells friends she is in "Finance" ..... moving money in all stores and creating a need for industry to supply pretty items at discounted prices! ;)
          We have the best times collaborating ideas and then shopping from stores to antique malls, to thrift shops in pursuit of the perfect items to create a new idea we've envisioned!
         She arrived with a big bag of presents for my Birthday and we began right away figuring out the best place to display them.  Her presents were all crown related starting with a beautiful gold bird with a crown pictured above, Crown Measuring Spoons, Crown Napkin Rings, A Crown Bookmark from Ireland with an Irish Cookbook, a crown applique for Furniture and then a beautiful pair of Crown Crystal earnings from My Flat in London!  Awe  Yes I certainly felt like a Queen the day she arrived!  Thanks Carol for all my presents and creating memories I get to look at and enjoy. ;)
         Starting with the wreath above that I had in a closet and with the addition of some Ivy, a little ribbon and then of course  my new bird Bella with her crown.  She is now proudly hanging in the Pool bath also known as the Queens Throne!

Keeping our Heads together to hold our hair in place from the wind! Beautiful morning at the Jetty.

        March was certainly a busy month and Carols visit made it so memorable.  From a Paul Anka concert at Sunrise Theater, my neighbors 50th Anniversary Party, Reiki one evening, as well as Meditation, endless shopping and visits with my neighbor Addie who had us over for a lovely breakfast and my good friend Paola who had us over for Tea and her special Cassata cake pictured below.  
              With the end of March comes a new month to enjoy the Spring and a visit from both Stephanie and Stephen for Easter. I'm looking forward to making a Pizza Rustica and Grain Pie and will keep you updated with pictures.  Happy Spring!!!  

Paola's special Cassata Cake and Pignoli Cookies. Carol is Irish and she had Sheridan's for her too .... a delicious Irish Liqueur.
