Mosaic Monday: Way Out West... California Style

I am leaving tomorrow to visit the wild, wild west... (or what's left of it) in California. I thought it would only be appropriate to put together a mosaic evidencing that the wild west is still alive and well in California! ;) Enjoy!

source, source, source, source, source, source.

I can't help but think of Laurel and Hardy's "Way Out West"...

...and it is a good thing I am going to be visiting my parents... as my dad pretty much has the entire Laurel and Hardy collection. Oh, how I miss me some good ol' fashioned laughs! That will soon be remedied! :) I will blog about my California adventures while I'm there... either here or on my Melissaisms blog.... or I'll eat my hat!

Mosaic Monday: Mighty Mississippi

I can attest that the very first word I ever learned to spell as a child was:

M-I-S-S...I-S-S...I-P-P...I

And it had a catchy tune to the spelling. Boy, oh boy... I felt like the smartest 5 year old on the planet! Do you know how long that word is? And I could spell it?!

I thought it would only be appropriate to celebrate such a memorable, fun word for Mosaic Monday. ;) Now that I am an adult, I can appreciate all of the beauty of the South... including the Mighty Mississippi River... and the great state of Mississippi. :)

Mosaic Monday: Red and Aqua Retro Kitchen

I lose my marbles for vintage kitchens... and (WARNING! Big shocker about to be revealed!!) I particularly lose my marbles for RED retro kitchens! :D I can't help but think that aqua is the perfect combination with red... it is fresh, fun and completely vintagey.

For my Mosaic Monday, hosted by Little Red House... I was rather inspired to put together a retro kitchen mosaic:

Is anyone else losing their cotton pickin' marbles for open cupboards/cabinets without doors?
And does anyone else (besides me) lose their mind for Bob's Big Boy?? I don't know what the secret is in their hamburger sauce (although I have my suspicions...) but I am pretty certain that it was kissed by angels themselves.

Happy Monday!!

Mosaic Monday: Fruit and Vegetable Bouquets

Welcome to my first Mosaic Monday...hosted by Little Red House.

My mosaic is a combination of fruit and vegetable bouquets...
who says you can only use flowers? ;)

Click on image for a big ol' enlargement. (Go ahead, test me... I'm not exaggerating.)

Included are... from top left to right: Radish wreath, corn bouquet, cabbage bouquet, artichoke bouquet, strawberry bouquet, mixed garden (bell pepper, broccoli, carrots, green beans, spinach) bouquet, purple cabbage bouquet, red pepper bouquet, artichoke bouquet, carrot bouquet and lemon bouquet.

I can't help but look at all of these items by produce code and not name. I guess that is what having worked in a grocery store for 9 years will do to you. haha :)
