There is a new man in my life, Baby Owen!!

There is definitely a new little man in my life, Baby Owen!! He finally arrived after giving his Mom some trouble. Jenny was in labor for about 15 hrs. and Owen just wasn't budging. She had a C-section and he was born at 7:59 p.m. 7-11-11. He weighs 8 lbs. 5 ozs. and is 21 1/2 inches long. He is a cutie! Mama, Dad and Baby are doing just great! I am taking tomorrow off and spending some time with Mama, Dad and Baby. I just love holding him! Here are some more pictures:

Me (Nana)holding Owen with John. I am in heaven!!

John holding Owen, or I guess I should say Papa holding Owen.

Jenny and Baby, Owen. I am so proud of her!!

Off to bed for me it was a very long day! I'm glad everyone is safe, healthy and doing great!!

I love a Beautiful Straw Chapeau!

I have always loved straw hats-Beach Hats, fashion hats, glamorous hats really any kind of straw hat! There is something about a beautifully, crafted straw hat that is just so exciting!! I decided to look on google and I found some really wonderful straw hats.

I would love to wear this gorgeous hat with such a gorgeous blue ribbon to the Beach

This group of straw hats are great beach hats! I love the pastel colored ribbons.

Elizabeth Taylor looked stunning in this huge straw hat!

Scarlett O'Hara wore this to the BBQ to win over Ashley.

This stunning black and white picture of Marilyn Monroe in the oversized white straw hat is really gorgeous!

Audrey Hepburn looks really beautiful in this straw hat.

Kate Winslet strikes a stunning pose in this hat. They don't make hats like this anymore.

Kiera Knightly wore this lovely hat in The Duchess. Just beautiful!

Here are a few more beautiful straw hats to savor:

Vintage Table Linens

The other day I was moving some things around in my dining room hutch and I came across a tablecloth that had been my grandmothers. She used to do crewel embroidery on tablecloths and pillow cases. I still have the pillow case she did for me-it has little deer and flowers on it. I'll have to post that at a later date. That got me thinking about tablecloths from the era when women carefully stitched these beauties for their families and friends. I went to google and found these beauties to share with you:

I just love this tablecloth! Doesn't it just conjure up visions of grandmoms!

This tablecloth is actually stenciled not embroidered. I think it is still really pretty!

I have always loved dogwoods so this one called to me. So much loving work went into this tablecloth.

I really love this alphabet flax cross-stitch tablecloth. I wouldn't mind putting one of those on my table. It would be so fun to play alphabet games with your grandkids while sitting around the table!

Flowers

Flowers, flowers everywhere! As everyone knows I love flowers. I thought I would share some of mine with you.

John gave me flowers last week because of all the hoopla going on at work.

The flowers John gave me came in this lovely tote bag! I can't wait to use it.

I won this Maggie Rose. It is so pretty and looks great by my garden angel.

These phlox are blooming in my garden. I love these flowers, they always brighten up my summer garden.

When we moved my Bird of Paradise plant took a beating. There was a new leaf unfurling and it got bent and we had to cut it off. Now this new leaf decided to come out. I guess it likes it here!

My coneflower has just started to bloom.

Hope you enjoyed all my blossoms!

Happy 4th of July Everyone!!

I hope everyone has a very safe, relaxing, wonderful 4th of July weekend! I am just enjoying being off for the next few days, chillin' out with John! It is hot, hot, hot here in Charlotte and I'm thankful for our AC. I have been reading and knitting, watching movies with John and tomorrow I'll be making jewelry and chillin' some more. That is a perfect weekend for me. I think I am now officially over my pitty party!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY EVERYONE!!
