Just checking in to let you know that I'm way behind on reading blogs, but I've kept all of the email notifications and am now working my way through about 3 months of your posts! I really didn't want to miss any! I love these urns and can only think that the former owners lacked drainage hole know ledge and imagination. If they didn't like them, they could have painted them. Amazing how many people will ditch something instead of changing it to their liking. Oh well, better finds for us! LOVE those cherubs! They are fabulous! Talk to you soon-take care.

If I had my way, it would become a Universal Statement of Being applicable to all mankind. Though the Bible doesn't say it, surely BEAUTY ---considered synonymous with TRUTH -- LOVE -- INTELLIGENCE and CREATIVITY --- is probably the greatest defining attribute of Almighty God.<br /><br />Andie's devotion to doing everything she possibly can to live as elegantly, beautifully creatively with good humor as she possibly can should serve as an inspiration to us all.<br /><br />In my view, though may not think of it in precisely these terms, our friend Andie is very close to God.<br />FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2928007866208585066.post-16029100309802035642014-11-16T19:22:30.066-08:002014-11-16T19:22:30.066-08:00Most beautiful, little Andie!
