Winter Skates & Happy New Year

                Happy New Year!

          I wish you all a joyful new 

             year filed with love, health 

    peace ,and  happiness !

It has been busy here so I haven't

had time for any new pics to share

so, my theme for today is some

of my skate pics from past years.

I bought these old men's skates

    at a yard sale about five years ago.

I painted these skates blue

and gave them a wash of

brown paint to antique them.

A scrap of fur glued on

was the final touch.

These old skates also had

a paint job but grey this

time. The plaid throw came

straight from Scotland

many years ago when my

husband's grandfather took

a trip back home to Aberdeen

Scotland.

                A snowy skate scene.

The old grey skates on the iron bed

in the boathouse.

On the porch of the boathouse.

Skates dress up a Christmas wreath

on the old storm door of the

Gardener's Cottage.

I have had these old skates

since my children were

small.

It is another beautiful sunny day here

so we are off for a walk in the park.

Prayers to all those in Australia

 who are anywhere near the fires.

Thank you to all of you who have

visited me over the past year and

to all who have left kind words

of support.

Wishing you once again all the

best in 2020!
