Happy Birthday Babe

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
to the sexiest man alive...

noooo...it's not
Johnny Depp(not this time).
lol


It's my dear hubby John,
a man I married 23 years ago,
a man that supports my every adventure,
who makes me realize... not to
sweat the small things.
Who makes me laugh at myself
when I do or say dumb things.


A man that loves his boys dearly,
especially during 4th of July!

haha...they were looking at a firework that
was NOT supposed to go over in the woods.


A man that kicks his heels up
and has plain fun with
his family.

Happy Birthday Babe.

Angel Food cake...his favorite!

Lustre lamps and typewriters

Oh Gosh....
did I tell you how much eye
candy is at the estate
sale that I'm working at?

A pair of Lustre lamps
caught my eye...

and I think they noticed it too...
gulp...

 they kept whispering...syyyyylviaaaa..in a very
soft magical voice...

I kept shushing them...
but they just didn't listen.

so now they sit happily
in my house.

 Sandi the previous owner said...
 that she remembers the lamps sitting
in her grandmothers house.


Remington Rand typewriter
for my space at the
emporium.

And a very heavy Underwood
typewriter...also for
my space.

Have a great day,

Shabby White chair

Wow, this is the last week in
September!
The month has flown by for me...
and it still has not slowed down.

Hubby's birthday is on Thursday...
we won't be celebrating until
the weekend since
Thursday is football night for us.
And what a game it's going to be too...
we...ok...they play Viera.
Wish us luck!!

I had so much fun participating
in the practical magic blog party, met
some really nice funny ladies.

Thank you for all the nice comments and emails,
it's good to know that someone actually
does read my blog...haha


I haven't had time to thrift or
go to the flea market in the
last couple of weeks...work
is getting in the way...haha
BUT....as I was driving by a
thrift store I saw this
really pretty shabby chair
outside their store.
A quick u-turn and this chair was
paid for and in the back of my truck.
It's going into my space
at the emporium!!

The latest estate sale I am working on with my
friend is pure eye candy...
lots of Persian rugs, antique furniture,
mouth watering dishes and lamps...
I will post pictures later today.

Gotta run...
have a super duper day,
Sylvia

The magic is all there,
catch it if you can...

oh goodness the magic is everywhere...

I see you've mixed up some
herbs...don't
forget the buddlea..


the brooms are anxious
to begin...

but first enjoy, take in the
aromas...


a little lemon grass fused with lavender
...with a teeny tiny touch
of sunflower..dabbed
behind the ears...
your sure to attract...


my broom IS ready...
I am off to visit
my witchy friends.

I hope you all had a great time
and please come visit again.

Worst Nightmare

What an interesting night tonite was!
The game was supposed to start at 6pm
It was delayed about an hour due to lightning!
An hour later while
watching the game, the lightning siren
goes off again...we leave the
field and wait in the car until...
mmmm...half an hour later.



Then a parents worst nightmare happened,
a Cocoa player was injured.




An hour and a half later...
The Raiders beat the Cocoa Tigers
6-0.


Our prayers go to the family and friends
of Cocoa Tigers #20...

After 3 delays...we finally got
home around 9:30!

Practical Magic photos will
be posted tomorrow...
come by and check it out.
