Finding Beauty Friday

(OK, edited 7:50 A M, just noticed I'm a day early, lol...no wonder my week flies by so fast, I just skip aday I don't like. Sorry about that. I really thought today was Friday...)

Today I am joining Claudia's "Friday Finding Beauty" event on Dipity Road. Today all the participating blogs can post whatever they like on their blog that touched them in some way and made them feel, see, or appreciate a moment of beauty in their lives.

Beauty comes in all sizes, shapes and forms. Some you can see and touch, others you can only feel in your heart. My beauty today is both, I can see the beauty of the object, but the beauty of a gift from a true friend is also felt in the heart.
a couple of week ago I was browsing the Etsy store of a dear on line friend, Holly or better known to us as Penniwig's (you can check it out here) and came across the cutest pair of Earrings, that I wanted to purchase for my "one day to be Granddaughter" so I order them and send payment then sit back and wait to receive them. Holly makes these earrings herself and the price is just fantastic
Now can you imagine my surprise when I not only received the beautiful pair I ordered

but I also received this extra pair

and a surprise email telling me I was getting a refund. Yes that's right both pair of beautiful earring were free

all because this beautiful lady won a painting I did and she thinks it is great. I am humbled that she thinks my work is worth anything. I consider her a true finding beauty friend. To me nothing is more beautiful than a true sweet heart and this lady has a big one.

Thanks Holly, you are special to me.

Friday Finding Beauty

It's time for "Friday Finding Beauty" event on Claudia's blog Dipity Road. Today all the participating blogs can post whatever they like on their blog that touched them in some way and made them feel, see, or appreciate a moment of beauty in their lives.

I believe beauty is anything that makes you smile or warms your heart. Maybe something that takes you back to a happier day and time..

I was reading some of my favorite blogs this morning when I clicked on Southern Lagniappe, she was talking about cows, cows and more cows..and their sweet innocent beauty. At first I laughed, but then it struck me as "this is beauty" I realized I was transported back to my Childhood when I looked at her picture, and it made me smile.

by the way she is one of the greats photographers I know...you can check her out at Southern Lagniappe.

I had to go to the Beauty shop this morning and it was pouring down rain, And the rains came down...
Fortunately I go to a shop that is about 4 miles from my home, in the country, so I get to enjoy a nice trip on my way there. I always have my camera handy and on a little cut of road between the 2 highways. I found these...aren't they cute, poor babies where getting so wet.

Thanks for reminding me that beauty is truly in the eyes of the the beholder. Be sure and check out the other Finding Beauty Friday post...you might be surprised where you find beauty.

Finding Beauty Friday..The Chester

It's time for "Friday Finding Beauty" event on Claudia's blog Dipity Road. Today all the participating blogs can post whatever they like on their blog that touched them in some way and made them feel, see, or appreciate a moment of beauty in their lives.
My post today will having you saying, Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder...you've got to be saying, she thinks this is beauty? Yes I do, this wonderful little dog brought beauty to the lives of everyone in our family. He was THE Chester, a Basset Hound and a real hound he was. He stole our hearts from the minute my Son brought him home @ 6 weeks old, to his then 1 yr old son, Redman. He was the sweetest, lovingest dog I've ever met. Our middle boy called him low ridyer, cause when he ran he looked like one of those low ridyer cars you see on TV, his front end bobbing up and down in time with his back end. He was always into something and then would look so inoccent, like who me?

This picture was taken when my Son and family returned home from a Christmas parade, so they had the camera handy to get the proof of who was really turning the dog food can over, all this time they had blamed their German Shepard, cause Chester wouldn't or couldn't do that....I love the expression on his face..and his lazy way of laying down to eat...lol..he's saying "no, no, I didn't do this, I was just protecting it from the other dogs", chewing a mouth full while talking.

We lost Chester to bone cancer 4 yrs ago, shortly after this picture was taken and we still miss him dearly, he was like the sunny light on a cloudy day. If you were down he was sure to bring a smile to your face. I can see a picture of him now and I automatically smile, just can't help it. So yes, I see beauty in this droopy faced little feller.

Hope you all have a great day, I know I am. My Sister and I are headed junking...
