I have the best friends. Really and truly I do. Last night when I got home from a very long day at work, tired and in pain, there were my 2 most fabulous friends, Flora and Laura, waiting for me with dinner for my family. How wonderful is that? Even though I gave myself this stupid sewing injury they were there to support my
patheticness (is that a word? it should be).

This is a terrible picture of the lovely dinner they brought. Our camera was accidentally on a strange setting so everything looks a funny color and so dark. But that doesn't matter. It was a fabulous meal. Incredible really. I thought my 13 year old son would go crazy when he saw the food. Shows you my depth of
patheticness I guess. Everything was wonderful. And I say 'was' because its nearly gone. Lasagna,
Italian sausage, homemade bread, wonderful salad and
delicious cake. I'm telling you it was incredibly yummy. And more than that incredibly thoughtful. I can't tell you how great my friends are. Well I could but we'd be here all day. Thank you, thank you Flora and
Laura.

So while I rest a bit and get my shoulder/arm to heal I thought I'd participate in Vintage Thursdays.
Eileen introduced me to this idea. There is a group of lovely
bloggers celebrating vintage Thursdays and I'm going to borrow the idea for today's post. I love vintage and vintage toys are the most fun.
This sweet sewing machine (it really works) was given to me by my sister Michelle, just because. Isn't that great. I've shown it on my blog before but its too darling not to show again. And the old pink stove is just like one we shared as girls when I was a kid. We had the metal cookware just like the ones on the stove. I can't tell you how many water pretend cakes I made. That stove represents a lot of fun play days from my childhood. I bought it on
ebay because the original is long gone but it is exactly the same and gives me great pleasure to have and look at.
Have a great day. I'm resting. So you all sew and get some fun things for me to look at.
