Fun For Friday - June 2015

How about a little fun?   Here is a post of randomness from the fun file -

With Karen's tip, I was able to get the autumn paint by number to complete my four seasons set.  Thanks Karen!  Apparently these were quite popular.

While on Ebay I also found these two Buck and Doe paint by numbers and could not resist.  I love the camo foilage.

I snuck them in the house and hung them in the upstairs hall where I see them from the sewing room and the kids see them, thus shielding Mr. Fun from seeing their incredibleness.

Since when exactly does Spam offer "gourmet" flavors???

Apropos of nothing - I liked this wine label.....and the wine.

Here's my new pet project.  Any business that sends junk mail with a pre-paid envelop is getting a note to take me off their list - at their expense!   It is my small way of saving a future tree branch.

Wee - it is kite season on the at the beach here on the Long Island Sound!  The astronaut is my favorite!

We're golfing tomorrow and I'm ready with newly marked balls.  Now if anyone else on course has pink balls, I can prove which is mine because they have a sweet Labrador on them.

As I like to remind our golf group "I'm in it for the fun, food and booze"!
I hope you have a fun filled weekend~

Fun For Friday - Bubbly Part I

Happy Friday!  It is good to be home after 2 days of driving.

Later today we will celebrated the end of Hanna's first year by opening a bottle of bubbly!

Today I thought I'd share this fun little collection/journal that I started in 2008.  That is when I started marking champagne corks with the date and reason for the celebration.

I have 58 so far.  At first I only marked the special ones like Christmas, Birthdays, Oscar night.  But now I mark all of them.

I think this was the first one that I signed.

Here is one when Andrew was accepted into Ramapo College.

I treated myself when I finished my Mother's Garden Quilt.

A girls weekend in Chicago.  I bring them home from cruises, restaurants, where ever I was lucky enough to enjoy some bubbles.

Here is one of my personal favorites:  Just Sunday.  I've made no secret that I love champagne, I guess that Sunday it just seemed right :)

I keep them in this over sized brandy snifter.

And speaking of oversized; check out this bottle.  I bought it at an estate sale several years ago.  I think the owner was a liquor distributer or something.

And finally I leave you with todays fresh pick from the yard.
Lily of the Valley in a pretty champagne flute.

Fun things this weekend:
Saturday: Cinco de Mayo and the Kentucky Derby
Sunday:    Quilt show with friends.

I hope you have fun things planned to!
