"April hath put a spirit of youth in everything"......William Shakespeare

Wishing all my friends a very very happy spring!

April is a great month for new beginnings.........so I am proud to introduce the GRAND OPENING of my new little shop----"Carolina Cottage".

There is a link at the bottom of my site here, just go click on it, if you are so inclined.

I have created many fun shopping departments, including an "Easter" one. There are some adorable little white bisque bunnies, which would look so pretty on your Easter table, colorful Easter tea-pots, and jade green milk glass bunnies.

Check out the "Southern Eats" department as well---good 'ole southern cooking like fried green " 'maters' ", grits and biscuits and gravy---lots of colorful cookbooks, recipes and kitchen stuff. And be sure to check out that festive Easter apron over in my sidebar--now THAT would be so pretty to wear while serving up your Easter dinner! It would also make just the lovliest hostess gift if you are an Easter guest at somebody elses home this year!
I love aprons, old and new! Its such fun to find vintage ones at thrift shops.

Heres hoping you enjoy shopping at "Carolina Cottage" as much as I enjoy stocking it full of Southern treats and trinkets!

Tonight's Micromoon--we watched it rise over the Battery tonight, it was red and orange

Skywatchers in Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones will get a view of the full moon tonight (Sept. 13) at 11:32 p.m., 10:32 p.m. and 9:32 p.m., respectively, while East Coasters will see the moon at its fullest at 12:32 a.m. on the 14th. Regardless of time zone, the moon will appear just a bit dimmer than usual (eerie!), because it will be at apogee, or its farthest distance from Earth. That means that the moon will appear about 14% smaller and 30% dimmer than when it is at its closest point to Earth, which is known as perigee. (Livescience.com)

LETS END KILLER WHALE CAPTIVITY!!

Please research the captive killer orcas that the SEAWORLD franchise holds captive. It is animal cruelty at it's worst. Those killer whales need to be FREE, NOT HELD CAPTIVE BY us humans and forced to do 'tricks' for our amusement. (and to make SEAWORLD a lot of money. ) Please go watch BLACKFISH when y'all have time okay? also read "Killer at Seaworld". You will learn so much and I doubt if you ever pay entrance fees to enter SEAWORLD or any of it's affiliate parks again.........because you will learn what the money really goes for........PROFIT. Their profit...........the poor whales gain nothing. But life captivity. Sad lonely lives in bathtub size enclosures where they cant even interact with their own pods and offspring normally. Many of them are so sick and die very painful deaths.The 'breeding' program is a joke. They are not even allowed to procreate in a natural and normal manner. The whales that were caught in the wild were taken from their pods and their mothers in a very cruel and inhumane fashion---it is heartbreaking. It's awful sad. Please research and then let me know what you think, okay? Whales are magnificent creatures, I love them. I tell everybody it's okay to love them and to want to go see them......but please go to areas where you can view them in the wild either from the beaches or cliffs or from boats. Not from cement swimming pools where they are mis-treated, gawked at, and forced to 'perform'. God created them and intended for them to exist in the seas! They really need to remain free........................
