You are one lucky lady! <br />I love the bowl(s) and old photos. I can't wait to see the flowers you create. The only thing I would add would be ice cream....you did have ice cream didn't you????

We never do that but someday we will. It would be fun to do it in a different state. More shiny brites. I have an empty shiny bright box I should send you for storing more. I remember Bovey for many reasons but the painting always reminds me of the little town. It looks like you had a great day. L.

What a...Oh, I want to spend my birthday like that! What a great time you had. I have a set of three pyrex bowls from 1981, they were a shower or wedding present. All brown with a white flower design, I think, (without actually going to look at them) Saw a set of those at a garage sale on Saturday. I have quite a bit of glass ware collected (thanks to your post!) to attempt those flowers at some point. Although I 'm good at collecting the stuff needed for projects, and then never doing them:( Thought of you often when we were at Oliver last week and all the milkweed pods were bursting open and releasing their seeds:)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938874724231860923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-35015481352975342662014-09-22T09:41:52.654-05:002014-09-22T09:41:52.654-05:00Sounds like an amazing way to spend your birthday ...Sounds like an amazing way to spend your birthday and ahh the bowls.
