Things in Common

My Aunt and I are very close at heart but live hundreds of miles apart. One thing that we do to tie our lives together is have the same things in our homes. These are some of the things in my Aunt's house that are also in mine.
We love the egg kitchen collection.

Ok, I don't have this exact set-up but: the heart in the cage is also in my kitchen and in my Grandmother's kitchen.
The matching frog in my house was given to me by my Aunt when Tim and I were engaged. The frog's mouth opens and inside it is a piece of paper where she wrote, "it looks like you found your prince".

My Aunt is an artist, she paints and does stained glass.

We read a lot of the same books. I bring my favorites to her and vice versa.

My friend back in Virginia and I share the same thing on our mantles. It's a great idea.

I am not a reptile person, not one little bit, but that Froggy is really lovely!

You have such nice doo-dads in your home.

I think it must be so wonderful to have an aunt you are close to. I'm so far away from almost all my family! Have a safe trip home! It seems like it was a really wonderful time!

You must be a fan of "Wicked". My husband and I got to see it this past fall and LOVED it! I've seen a lot of musicals, but this is definitely at the top as one of my favs.
