The lovely ladies of Black Friday....

This is my aunt Ruth.

I love this photo of her...

So very chic for the time.

(She was always a fashion statement.)

I love vintage pics of African American women at their best.

Here are a few....

I love the hat ...
and the attitude that she is wearing with it.

Got to love flappers!! The clothes are phenomenal and

 

the era is divine!!

High fashion couture photo pose...

Pearls.. always high end.

Have a blessed and wonderful Black Friday. Enjoy your holiday weekend.

Welcome fellow bloggy diva !!!

Remember when you were the new kid on the block??

I do. I was really nervous whenI hit enter to publish my first post.

"Will they like it? What if they think I am boring?"

"What if they don't like my blog?"

Soooo many thoughts ran through my mind.

But I had a sister who has bloggy friends in high places.

She hooked a sister up.

Then Anne from Fiona and Twig hooked me up and the list goes on.

I have only been in bloggy land not quite a month and the love I have recieved is remarkable.

So, it is my duty to pass on the love....

This is Kelly of I Dream of Decor.

She is a newbie just like me.

I loooove her blog.

She is a girl after my own heart.

Kelly has an awesome sense of style and fab post.

She has already done some DYI projects...

and took some terrific photos as well.

Please go by and check out Kelly and her amazing blog.

Let's send her some bloggy love.

I'll go first......MWUUUAAAAHHHH!!!!!

Be Thankful....

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. ..

A day of turkey and dressing and all the fixings.

Family will gather and football will be watched.

But most importantly it is a time to reflect on what we are thankful for.

So, fellow bloggy divas please stop and take a minute to reflect on what you are most thankful for.

Here is my list....Don't laugh...

1. I am most thankful for the my Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
Thank you for your love, your mercy, and your grace. 

2.I am eternally blessed for being the mother of 2 beautiful, intelligent, and amazing daughters.

(Even though they are arguing over the remote right now..) 

3.I am forever grateful for my family. They have no idea how much I love them.
To Angelique.. thank you for always having my back. We would be the sisters that sit in a holding cell together and would blog about it lol.

4. I am blessed to see another day.
Every morning I say, "Thank you." 

5.I am thankful for each and every blessing the Lord has given me. Big or small.

(Even the little bitty cottage that I live in.. )

6. I am grateful for all my friends.. especially my new bloggy diva friends.
Anne, Quiotic, Melif Faif, and others. 

7. I am blessed to have an awesome life....

It is not a perfect life, and it may be a lil crazy... but it is mine!! And I am so much a better person because of it.

 I pray that you all enjoy your holiday and be blessed.
