Not only is tomorrow April Fools Day, it is time for the new arrivals to hatch at the prim nest. I sure do hope you hop on over to take a look at all of the newest offerings.

Luck Be A Lady Tonight!!

Well, this Lucky lady would have been listed a few days ago on Ebay..but I got the nasty Death Black Screen...and nothing.....called tech peeps, they could not help (after spending 50 bucks for a few brief 15 minutes....) Their adivce was, Get a new computer.....

**Sigh***

however, I do indeed feel very lucky, you see our old computer was 5 years old. And it had 5 years worth of pics and documents..files and e-patterns....

It just so happens that I backed all of that information up in the past 2 weeks!!!

so lady luck is now listed on ebay, one penny to start plus free ship...it is a 3 day auction

just take a peek ... who knows, she could be your lady luck!!

True Blue Greetings To You!!


Wow, I think the kids are staying home more then they are going to school because of all of those snow days....

With the new year fully in swing I am hoping to get more dollies listed soon.

The kids are doing great..however, the tooth fairy is going BROKE..Sophia has lost 3 teeth. she has also just had a birthday and is now 7. Goodness, How time goes by so fast.

The older kids are doing good, but i still wish they were little.

Hard to believe soon Chirstopher will be 15! WoW!!

Gabby has a birthday around the corner too..it is sad to see her going from playing with "littlest pet shops" to hanging out with her friends and doing her nails and talking about boys....right before my eyes she is growing up!


many new and exciting things seem to be around the corner....

until next time,
Heidi

It was SPOOKTacular!!

quote of the day

" I love Autumn, It is so beautiful"

-Sophia Gianino

Today between 6:30 and 6:35 God painted the most beautiful sky. It went from a deep dark gray purple..to a pink..to a very faint blue

there was a rumble of thunder

A slight breeze blew,

a few leaves fell to the ground in there glory of vibrant yellow and orange.

all of the colors seem to be under a black light...

And to appreciate this, it took a wisdom of a 6 year old...

A Haunting Beauty

this haunting beauty

is now on Ebay.

Please come visit and sit a spell.

PFATT Market Place Sneak Peak

Touching History

Things are slowly but surely returning to normal..what ever normal is...I don't think we will feel total closure though until we sell Seb's house.

on one trip to clear out the house, I found a most wonderful old box, filled to the BRIM with old pictures. I am really looking foward to sharing these with you.

the other weekend when we were going through the box , Michael found this picture. It has the 3 sisters of Seb in it. I don't think Seb was born yet or I am sure he would have been in the picture. But the 2 littlest girls in the Picture Rosemary and Gloria look almost uncanny resemblance to my 2 girls..Gabriella and Sophia. OUR JAWS DROPPED!!
my first re-action to Michael was, We should show your dad...it was just a thought that popped into my head. he said he thought the same thing for a split second too.

now, my little girls..(this pic was taken last wed. the first day of school..)

I had always thought that Gabby looked like me..lol, I guess the Gianino Genes win.

Their hair cuts and teeth are exactly the same..

another really cool thing is this wonderful old picture

This passport is amazing!!

This documentation blows my mind..i am not sure what this is..maybe a visa?



This is one of my favorite photos. I remember this being in Aunt Gloria's living room. I am so thrilled to have this in my possession.

out of all of the things that we have gotten from the house, the most treasured are the old pictures. I am truly looking foward to sharing them with you.

until next time...

Remembering a Great Artist...Sebastian R. Gianino

this is just a small sampling of Seb's Paintings. My house had turned into a small gallery of his works. He was so incredibly talented. Now I know where my kiddos get it from.
His primary medium was oil painting. I can't even begin to tell you the thousand upon thousands of sketches he has. yes, thousands. His Morgue file was unbelievable. At least 9 metal old file cabinets.
If you are unsure what a morgue file is..it is where he would spend hours upon hours cutting stuff out from magazines and such and use for research to draw a certain body part or item.
if it was hands, abs, breast or feet..he had at least more then a thousand of each. Then it was put into sub categories....babies, adults....American...european..you name it there was a category. His dream was to one day be an illustrater.
In the 70's someone offered to buy a painting for 300$$. He declined.
I can only fathom how well he would have been known if he would have sold his paintings.
He studied under Brother Matthew, who was a wonderful monk over in Illinois.
I will be posting more art work soon from Sebastian.

He loved Jesus.

He loved the idea of family

my husbanded misses him.

the kids miss their Grandpa

the art world has missed something.
