This is one of my very pretty rosaries.
A lovely gift from a friend in Ireland.
One of mom's rosaries. This Madonna lights up and looks so beautiful in the dark. I added a small button pic of my parents wedding.
She preferred to pray with this one at night because it glows in the dark.
My aunt Rita gave me this one, which of course I treasure.
Still have this one in the original box, a gift from my daughter Julie. It's stunning
and it's from Italy.She just returned from Italy and said she brought me a wooden Saint Anthony, can't wait to see it.
My husband's vintage rosary and prayer book. (He wanted me to include it)
My daughter Julie brought me this wooden rosary from Greece on one of her trips, she always brings me something from there, they go often.
This is one of my treasures. My grand daughter Kelly brought me Saint Anthony from Spain and her mother, my daughter Judy, made the rosary for me for my birthday. Garnet beads since garnet is the birth stone of January. Judy makes beautiful rosaries.
These little angels are vintage and belonged to my grand mother Rosenda.
I love angels and have many more angels not displayed today perhaps on another post. Don't you think this month of April just flew by? Much too fast for me, however, May is here and what a lovely month it is. We have Mother's Day and our wedding anniversary. One of my daughters sent me this pic of Faith from Source.

I agree, it's so peaceful over here at your Blog and it always looks so very pretty! Your Rosary collection is quite wonderful, especially as they have been bought from different parts of the world and as presents from those that you love. How lovely, too, to have those little angels that used to belong to your grandma. They must be very special. I think it's sweet that your hubby wanted his vintage prayer book and Rosary included too! Let's hope that it will be a good month of May for all of us. Just can't believe it's here already!
ReplyDeleteDEAR LU, I WISH TO YOU A BLOOMING MAY WITH ALL MY LOVE!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYOUR COLLECTION OF ROSARIES IS GORGEOUS!
I LIKE YOUR MOM'S MADONNA AND ROSARY!!!!!!!!
KISSES!!!!!!!!!!!
Your rosaries are beautiful. You havejust inspired me. I have a lot of rosaries from my Mother and Grandmother. They are in the boxes and in my drawer. Why didn't I ever think of displaying them??
ReplyDeleteYour photos are so pretty. Thank you so much for sharing these treasures!

Lu, I just loved your angel and rosary post. It is just what I needed today. The St. Anthony from Spain is lovely. Do you know St. Anthony is a favorite of mine, and when I say his prayer I sometimes get tears because it says he is the gentlest of saints, and you know how harsh the world can be at times. I love the fact that your daughter brings you back treasures when she travels. Jess always does that too. Mary that lights up...ahhhhh, it's so beautiful. Thank you for this peaceful post today. It made my day.

Sheri, it was peaceful for me putting it all together,I loved it. St. Anthony is one of my favorites also, he is a very powerful Saint. He was born on June 13 and my birthday is Jan. 13 so we have the same number 13, which also is my lucky number. My daughter went to Padua when in Italy, she spend 2 hours with him and could not control her tears, very emotional for her.
DeleteYour friend, Lu
Oh Lu, I love your beautiful collection with special memories of angels and rosaries....
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Hi Lu, Yes, April just flew by.
ReplyDeleteI love your angel and rosary collection. I have the same glow in the dark rosary that was my mother's. I collect them too and also angels. In fact today I just added a rosary to my studio on a minature dress form. Love your hubbies vintage prayer book and rosary. I too have my husbands from when he went to Catholic grade school.
Lovely post for the what-not party.
Hugs and blessings, Celestina Marie
I think it's wonderful that we have these treasures from our mothers. I love angels and have them through out the house. Bet your mini dress form looks lovely with a rosary on it. Blessings...Lu

Hi Lu,
ReplyDeleteI have always thought rosaries were so beautiful... We have my husbands mothers and her mothers that she brought on the boat from Spain when they immigrated to the US way back when.
How dear the little vintage prayer book is!
I have one sweet angel, but am going to start a small collection as I love them, too!
I am taking your button to my blog and thank you for adding mine to yours!
Have a beautiful week!
