Trying to think of something interesting to write for this post and right under my nose were two vintage thingies just waiting to inspire me. 
So here is a vintage aqua canning jar filled with marbles. Some are really old, others belonged to my boys growing up, In any case, they are colorful in the light. The other is a ceramic dog I found on ebay a few years ago. He makes me laugh. Now there’s a face! Both of these are on my desk and give me somthing to gaze at when I am lost for words.

I Hope you are having a great day!

Your dog is really funny. I think I still have my old marbles somewhere.

I love old glass marbles too and your canning jar is a really nice old one. That little dog made me smile too : ))

I love the marbles and I’ve been looking for jars like that for buttons – I’ve seen and passed on a million of them only to realize I should have bought them! LOL…such is life!
Happy VTT!

Hello Teresa, I am trying to post a ‘thingie’ but slow going is the fact of the matter. Check back later.
Your marbles are so pretty in the jar. A joy to look at. Your dog is way too cute. He has to bring a smile to your face. And you don’t have to walk him. HA! I have a photo today with our puppy getting in the act. I should be up in an hour.
Thanks for your visit on my deer post.
Hugs, Jeanne

I enjoyed seeing all the pretty marbles. They really used to make some very big colorful ones. I had to smile when I saw your remark. My great grandson tells me all the time, MeMe you have lost your marbles when I do something really dumb.
