The Helms Bakery....



I had such a fun day....


We all need those days just to laugh and not think about anything serious!


I went to H.D. Buttercup to celebrate my girlfriends birthday....


It's located at the Helms Bakery in L.A...


It was a Bakery that started in the 40s and closed around 1967...

The Helms Bakery truck delivered bread and bakery goods to your door....they would drive up and down So. California neighborhoods selling donuts and bakery goods from their trucks...

I know I'm dating my self big time...

but I loved when the Helms man came to our neighborhood...

They would pull out drawers of fresh donuts to choose from.....

Yum!   



Now it's a shopping destination with some interesting shops and places to have lunch....

I could of spent hours at H.D. Buttercups....

It went on and on...

So many interesting things to look at... 




I loved this old chair...


It reminded me of something Van Gogh would have painted...


 























I found this vignette interesting...

The rusty wire baskets and the owl pictures caught my eye... 









The chandeliers were really pretty...

the picture doesn't do them justice... 




























What do you think about these bird pictures? 


They could be really fun or really dark depending on what you put with them...


At first I imagined them in a room with splashes of yellow, bright and a colorful decor...


OK, then my brain went to the dark side...
shoot....

couldn't you see them in a haunted house with skeletons...

OK.... 
I have seen to many scarey movies...












I always find a day with close friends restores my energy and reminds me of the things that are important...

It doesn't matter what we do or where we are....

 we always have a good time.


Happy Birthday my friend...

I love you guys!

I survived the boutique that my daughter and I participated in....

It was worth all the hard work just to be able to be with my daughter...

Vignettes....


I know...
I'm a little bit behind on posting...

I completely drew a blank...

I just couldn't figure out what to post....

Until I took these photos with my new phone....

Can you believe how good they turned out! 



I have a new Samsung Galaxy Note 3.... 

My son has been teasing me on how big it is...
 but I love it!
 Not bad for a cell phone...






 I love these old books...
I put them on my table in my living room...



























I painted my entry table black...

 I'm not sure how long I will keep it.....
 but for now its fine...

Things are always changing....

but I never grow tired of blue and white....










And this is my precious granddaughter....
Isn't she cute?
