Touring some of my Music Boxes and Photos

Hello...I have been working hard rearranging our home. phew....had to move a lot of things out of our guest room. plus I decided to take my roll-top desk and move it into the dining room and and make my office more roomy and added a shelve for my EBay stuff. Its quite a job to do it all! I thought I would also share a few of my music boxes that I have been collecting for over 30 years. I have a ton more in my curio cabinet upstairs but that is another tour...

the table moved from guest room

music box "serenity"

my niece made this for me she is a florist
I love Victorian

I decided to add my photos to it

this is a photograph taken on our honeymoon long
ago in Martinique, Caribbean

an original print of Laguna Beach

a photograph I took in Florida at a park and yes its real

the alligator posed for me lol

one of my favorite music boxes

this lamp I got in the 80s at an antique shop and the
tea cart was my mom's

this is photo at a camp park in Morro Bay
that I love

you can't tell in the photo but we had to move this
mirror because it is so long the desk wouldn't fit and its
heavy too

my daughter gave me this apron for my "B" day
and it matches the flowers I have
but the real kicker are the spoon and fork hanging on
the wall, I saw them on a re-run of
"Everybody Loves Raymond" hanging
in his mom's kitchen...lol...I got them
in the 70s

and this is "Suzie-Q" my head
for taking photos of my handmade items. lol

Tour My House's Photo Gallery

I love framed photos and great meaningful sayings. This is one of my favorites about the "Sand dollar" Be sure to enlage it and read it.

Remember the mirror that DH needed to put up, well its up, yeah and it looks great!!!

My neice made me this old post card collage, it depics where I have lived,

vacation annually, and where I was born. It was a terrific present and I cherish it... My music box and trinket collection. I love musical things.....some are very old, some given to me by friends and family, and some I have found in antique stores, estate sales, and even a garage sale especially when I visit my sis in upstate NY.

The two girls dancing above, was a gift from a very good friend of mine.

The yellow duck is the cutest and I found him while visiting my cuz in Kansas City, MO. It actually plays singing in the rain.. :)

The old firetruck I got in Yosemite and the horse cream colored box was a gift from a work friend.

The photos are ones I have taken on trips and framed.

Except this one was actually painted by a local artist and is of one of the local beaches. Can you guess which one?

The next one is of course from our favorite annual family camping spot, Bass Lake.

The next one is from St Thomas in the Virgin Islands, where DH and I went on a cruise...was one of the prettiest places ever.

This beautiful row of Eucaliptus trees is in Morro Bay and is the prettiest pathway almost like a painting.

The sunset is from Florida on one of our visits there. It was off the beach on Treasure Island near Tampa.

Lastly is the best of all, my family gallery. They are all in Sepia tone and several generations of my family. Thanks for visiting my photo gallery!
