ThiNk SPR*ING "Frogs... Watering Cans"...

OMG!*!*! Preparing for THE NEXT ARTIC BLAST OF SNOW, here in the Midwest!*!*! In the meantime I'll "Dream-Of-Spring" while looking at some of my ViNtaGe FROGS & WATERING CAN Collectibles...

When Displaying "T*I*N*Y" Collectibles,

they almost need to be "Framed" - "Set Apart"

from everything else -OR- They get lost...

This Old "SaLesMan's Display Cubby" with LETTERS, was a good choice to make the most of accenting these fun ViNtaGe F*I*N*D*S...

**~ Stay Warm ~**

I just know the grass will be poking up

in about 6 weeks???

Downton Abbey Servant's Bell ~ OMG!!!

For sometime now, Frog Husband and I have been enjoying or should I say "Have Been Hooked" on watching Masterpiece Theater's

DOWNTON ABBEY...

We spent many a cozy winter afternoon, taking a coffee break - Catching Up to this year's Season Three... This was such a special treat for me ~ NEVER BEFORE, BOTH OF US BEING HOME MID-DAY DURING THE WEEK...

**********

I had fallen in love with many things

about "Downton"~ especially the

ringing of the **Servant's Bell** at the

beginning of each episode...

OMG!*!*! ~ OMG!*!*! ~ OMG!*!*!

~** ToDay's BiRthDAy SuRpRisE **~

Y*E*S - It Is "The Servant's BeLL"...

Sweet *Frog Husband* Surprised me with this

ViNTAGe "Servant's Bell"

Soooooo similar to the ones seen on Downton Abbey... Although not Black with Shiny Brass ~

- I JuSt L*O*V*E the PaTiNa on This One
and wouldn't want it any other way!*!*!
FaB time~worn PaTiNa!*!*!
The "Ring Tone" is exactly the same...

Downton Abbey's
Servant Bells...

Although last night's Season Finale
was quite a downer ~ "What were they thinking"??? We're Still looking forward to Season Four...
