I Just Couldn't Resist...

This is Mabry.

A Blue Piebald Miniature Dachshund.

He has two brothers who are Isabella (a light milk chocolate) Piebalds.

They were so cute I just couldn't resist sharing these pictures of them.

I'll be joining the Blue Monday party at

"Wink" Saturday!

It's not Pink

It's Garnet...lovely dark RED!

I know, it's supposed to Pink for Pink Saturday, but well, I don't have much pink around my home.

I have 2 sons, 3 nephews, and only ONE step-daughter, so I don't have a lot of pink.

Will you still let me join you???

I wanted to share my Garnet.  Garnet the puppy!!

She is one of a litter of 6, but I need to take some pics of her for her new owner.

She has a sister named Scarlet that is a bit smaller than she is! And there are 4 other babies in this litter too.

you can see all of our puppies on our website at http://www.bachndachs.com/

My husband helped me with taking pictures.  We even tried to get her to pose from a teacup, but she's a bit too big for that.  And, I'm still trying to get my lighting figured out for my photos.  Maybe I'll have a better setup next time I post.

Garnet is the birthstone for January, and one of my favorite stones too, so I have a lot of this color in my decorating.  I notice too that I wear this color a lot. 

Well, I hope I'm still allowed to join the Pink Saturday Party...

and I must thank Beverly  for hosting Pink Saturday at http://www.howsweetthesound.typepad.com/

Come on over and see what fun we have!

Blessings, Doni

French Teacup for Tuesday!

This little cup and saucer is one of my very favorites. It has a dark red lacy pattern around the edges and a grouping of pretty flowers on the inside of the cup and center of the saucer.

I can usually remember when and where I purchased things, but this one I just can't remember. It has the letter 'D' on the bottom of the cup, and a knight with a shield labeled

French Saxon China, Union Made, USA

the name of the pattern is Burgundy Lace.

Perfect name!

We are expecting puppies any moment here, our Rosie is due today, and she'd been off her feed for the last day or so. She is HUGE! I'll try to post some pics of her pups when they're here.

You can check out our website also!

Isn't She Adorable?

You know, I can't decide if I should keep this little girl or not...she's just so cute! She's from our very own stock too. Her grandmothers are Prelude and Minuet, and her grandfather on both sides was our Metronome! We are really proud of the grandbabies, and this one in particular. I guess time will tell. I always have one it seems that I wish I'd kept...maybe this one I actually will!!
