Wonderful surprises

After a couple of hectic days, I finally got a chance to walk out in the garden and see what was going on....I was very excited to see my hoya linearis getting ready to bloom...OR this could be its blossom...I don't know...I've never seen it in bloom.This pretty yellow flower was a cutting I got from my friend...it's now ready to be transplanted to its proper spot....

Never in my previous years have I had problems growing tomatoes until we moved to Florida. Could it be that I don't have much time for my veggies? Maybe it's too hot for them in our hot humid weather or maybe they just don't like me! So this year I planted 2 tomato plants in pots right next to my back door. It did work, I did get little yellow tomatoes, 3 little tomatoes...yes ONLY 3..hahaha. I am going to savor my harvest and plan a little better come spring.

About a month ago I was trimming some of my plants and happened to notice a passion fruit vine growing along my fence. Where did it come from? I don't remember planting a vine there. Today as I was walking around I noticed passion fruit from that mysterious vine...I was so excited! I cant wait to make more passion fruit pie...perfect for the holidays.

Thanks for stopping by...

Rebus Puzzle

OK, for all you rebus buffs out there can you please tell me what this little cup is trying to tell me. If you look real close on the cup you will see ...an eye....M....pitcher?....match?...for the life of me I cant figure out what it means. First of all...is it a pitcher? And is it a match or quill? I know the eye and letter M..mean "I'm"..right?

Can you figure out the mystery and please let me know.

Oh my goodness...I seem to be arriving late to all my blog parties...this is something that I quickly threw together before I turn into a pumpkin at midnight.

I've had these shoe cobblers in the porch so I apologize for not thinking of dusting, an old humidity reader and an old Spanish fan that I love. I am off to see what other goodies have been posted at Gypsy Brocante.

Happy VBF...my gypsy friends.

Thrifty Thursday

Once again I am joining Leigh over at Tales from Bloggeritaville for the Thrifty Thursday. I hope you all don't mind if I use the same picture from the last post. I really love my green glass and want to keep on showing it..until I find something else to replace it with. haha. When I saw these red and white plates at my local thrift store I was so excited. You see, I 've had plates like these before and dummy me, I broke them up to make mosaic stepping stones. Yes, I know..what a dummy! So now I am slowly adding red and white plates to my cupboards. I know it's not the whole set but who cares, they are still pretty to enjoy.
The "bread" plate was found about a month ago at a TS too, I thought it was so cool that it had the word bread on it with all the cute details. I might use it as a decoration during the Thanksgiving month...That's about it for today but please check out the other Thrifty Thursday posts...lots of goodies to see!!

P.S....I love comments...

"I'm a Flea Marketeer Party....

I'm late....I'm late..... to the "I'm a Flea Marketeer Party" over at Flea Market Style. I found these three pieces at my all time favorite thrift shop last week. I was so excited to bring them home and display them.

A closer look shows a man either serenading or proposing to his love.

I love the picture on this, for some reason old ships have always fascinated me. Maybe because I have had dreams about them? Hmmmm...who knows.
