Happy New Year

This sweet New Year's card reminds me of my past to the quaint little town of Bridgewater Iowa where we have our little Lake House. My great grandparents, grandparents and Mother was raised and lived in this little town. I feel their spirit when we stay at our little house. In fact the house just across the street is where my grandparents were married. Looking forward to 2011.

Christmas at the Lake House... Vintage Style
















Decorating the Bridgewater Lake House at Christmas is one of my favorite things. Unfortunately this year it just didn't happen. So I'll have to enjoy the pictures from past years.

Lake House Christmas Decorating





These Pictures were taken several years ago after we purchased our little Lake House in Bridgewater. That year we hosted an Open House for the people of the town so that we could get acquainted with our new "town" friends. Since then it hasn't worked out to have another open house. I hope we can many do it this year.

I Love Vintage!!!

Our Lake House Kitchen is home to a lot of my vintage treasures. I love vintage kitchen wares, especially in bright primary colors.

What's Jammin John & Kiwi!!




Every year the little village of Bridgewater host a Halloween party at the old High School Gym built in 1923 for the Local kids. This is the gym where my mother went to school. The high school has been torn down some time ago, but the gym is still there. It's really a great party and sooo vintage. This is a past picture of our crew at the Party.
