Some of you have already noticed our birdhouse giveaway and emailed me to be entered in the drawing. All you have to do is email me that you want to win. That's all there is to it. What you waiting for?

Sorry about the quality of these pictures. I dug out my other camera since I couldn't find the charger for the one I really like to use (story of my life lately) and I think I need some real practice on this one.

Fun stuff Fun colors Just Right For Spring!

By the way................if you don't receive emails from MY FRIENDS AND I you are missing out. I will have a fun coupon in the next one I send out in a few days.

You can click on the email me button to the left and email me to be added to our list. I promise I won't pass it on and you will receive only emails about MY FRIENDS AND I and Niles.

I really like sharing silly things with you all that made me smile. Look at this guy who could resist? Not your typical Valentine I agree but cute any way.

I was all ready to take lots of pictures of the new stuff we're getting in and wouldn't you know it my camera battery went dead. I was able to take one picture and it was of these cute little flower girls. I will take and post more really soon so keep checking back.

We will be doing a drawing for all you blog readers in Feb. so keep an eye out for details. It will be for some thing cute!

This little duck seems to be saying "Hey! have you heard the news? Spring stuff is starting to arrive at MY FRIENDS AND I!" You've got to come see!

Valentines Day is almost here. We still have lots of Vintage Valentines around. Don't you know someone who would love one?

Back from Atlanta

And was it ever cold. We are so lucky here in the Bay Area. Today feels like Spring to me. Driving around town today there were Almond trees, Sunflowers and Mustard already in bloom. I will have to put my camera in the car and start taking pictures.

I bought LOTS of great merchandise for the shop and can hardly wait till it starts coming. I'll keep you posted on that.

I was reading magazines on the plane and saw this. Your smile makes me laugh! Your laugh makes me smile! Great Valentine sentiment.

Off to the Gift Show in Atlanta

FINALLY!
I was suppose to fly out yesterday but Mother Nature made a winter visit to the Atlanta area and so my flight was canceled. I was able to get a flight out this afternoon. I'm excited and have a good feeling about this trip. I just know that I'm going to find some wonderful new merchandise to order for the shop. More news on that when I get back. I'll leave you with this cute saying that made me smile.
When life gives you lemons, throw them back and demand Chocolate!

A Smile for you

Sometimes something silly makes us smile. Hope this did the trick for you. He's so homely he's cute! Remember............................SMILE at something or someone every day. It makes you feel good!

Who likes Red?

January will be gone before we know it and then its one of my favorite holiday months. February means Valentines day. How many of you exchanged Valentines in school? We always had to bring a milk carton to school to decorate and use as a mail box. We kept in on our desk and kids would drop cards in it all week then you got to open it on Friday at the Valentines day party.

My Mom was always a Room Mother and brought the best decorated cupcakes. No mixes for her, she baked from scratch.

I guess the sweet memories is what makes it special to me.

Button, button who's got buttons?

We do!

Button collecting is bigger than ever and we always have some around the shop for sale. It's a fun collection. I was out on the internet looking at blogs and found this site. Lots of fun things about buttons. Click here to go to the site. By the way it's called Button Floozies. Don't you just love it!
