Elizabeth Hartline's Saltbox

Happy Wednesday and Happy Groundhog's Day, ya'll and welcome. 

Six more weeks of winter according to Punxsutawny Phil; the little charming guy saw his shadow.  The closest city to me used to have Chuck the Groundhog who was the great predictor of weather, but after his  unexpected passing , Luna the hedgehog took on the job . I'm not sure if there is a new Chuck or not. Lol. 

 I have still been hustling and bustling around the house. Deep cleaning and redecorating. 

                  

My heart is leaping with joy as I pull out the "reds" and "pinks".  

The sweet antique quilt heart was a gift from my dear friend, Patricia. It will stay out year round. I love it so much!!

Today I plan to listen to the pitter patter of the rain as I clean on one of the bedrooms and then hopefully retire to some stitching time. 

Today I wanted to share with you my Elizabeth Hartline's Saltbox.

Elizabeth Hartline's Saltbox is nestled in a darling tobacco basket ornament gifted to me by sweet Shelly. 

 It is named after my great great grandmother whom I know very little about.  I like to think of her as being a strong , but sweet woman who raised a large family .  I do know that Elizabeth  had heartaches with the loss of her mother who was accidentally  kicked in the head by a mule .

I  have to say that Elizabeth has  a fabulous green thumb . Look at those roses!!!  

Elizabeth Hartline is sitting in a little tobacco basket ornament gifted to me from my sweet friend, Shelly. Isn't it cute?
