I truly appreciate lovelies and my husband is really thoughtful of me when it comes to my heart desires. I get happy over little things which spark a desire in me to create, decorate and donate.
Cherub Wall Shelf Sconce.
Another favorite of mine is this gorgeous Cherub Wall Shelf Sconce my husband purchased for me, while visiting the Antique Rows in Downtown Pomona, CA.
Candlestick Holder.
Another steal from the Antique Row was this Set of 3 Clear Crystal Pillar Candlestick Holder which I love to pieces.
For great and unique Vintage finds, I highly recommend you visit Pomona’s Antiques Row shops and allow yourself at least a good half a day to do so. The atmosphere is peaceful, friendly and the shop owners are always happy to tell the story behind each piece of furniture.

– Don’t we all love them? With a variety of shapes and themes from fairy tales, religious, athletic icons and from wildlife to World leaders; the choices and possibilities are endless.
Kids love them and mine are not immune to their awesomeness. They are useful in educating young children about colors, sizes, shapes, stacking and unstacking into larger dolls.
Beside the vibrant colors and themes; I am fond of them mainly for what they represent: motherhood and fertility.
Russian Nesting Dolls.
The gorgeous Matryoshka Nesting Doll in the middle was purchased at one of the Antique Stores in Downtown Pomona. Standing at 8″ tall and consisting of 9 pieces, it is one of my favorite acquisitions.
Russian Nesting Doll.
Being a Vintage lover and having spent at least six years in Pomona, CA; I can assure you that the Antique Row is the place to shop for everything Antique (paintings, furniture, books, toys, clothing, Silverware, tools and much more). I own a few sets, some of which I will be giving away to my readers.
How would you feel waking up every morning to find mounds of disturbed dirt in your yard/garden? It’s not a pretty sight nor enjoyable. This is exactly what I endured for at least 2 years. Most of them were vicious stray and feral cats, malnourished and I am sure carried diseases (such as toxoplasmosis as well as other health risks associated with cat feces).
The morning my son, who was learning to walk then, tripped and fell next to a pile of covered cat feces changed everything. It was obvious that I had to handle the situation on my own.
After contacting the Animal Control Department, I picked up a Humane trap and for the next two weeks, we caught at least six cats. Prior to getting the traps I tried a few remedies as well as cat repellents:
»Chicken wire » Rocks & stones »Mr. McGregor’s Fence » Motion sensor sprinkler »CatStop Ultrasonic (doesn’t always work) » Mulching (didn’t work for me) » Damped Soil (doesn’t always work) »Coffee Grounds< » Rosemary (worked for a while …) »Coleus Canina or ‘Scaredy Cat Plant’ » Find the pet owner if you can and if there’s one.
Stray Cat in my front yard.
We all know that cats have sensitive noses and dislike scented plants. We also know that cats don’t know boundaries and are unpredictable, which means that if they can, they will turn any unfortunate situation in their favor. The most effective remedies are costly. This is a never-ending problem which some of us will endure as long as irresponsible pet owners allow their cats to roam.
In summary, if cats love your yard they will find a way to get in as it is difficult to confine an outdoor animal. Pet owners who truly care about their pets keep them indoor. I do not hate animals but I get very upset when they use my yard/garden as a litter box and I don’t have to put up with that.
