a week.

This week was good.
Roses are in full bloom at one of our parks.
Coral was a champ in the 90+ degree heat.
I kept myself from eating more than 2 buster bar blizzards.
Unbelievable amounts of sand can fill very small shoes.
We didn't finish the loaf of kalamata olive bread in two days.
The little flower tent near us is having a buy one, get one free sale.
I made chocolate cobbler which would have been enough good to last the entire week.




Have a lovely holiday weekend!

a good find.

This is my favorite thrift store find in a while. A lady on flickr told me that her sister had the same thing when she was a kid. It has snaps on one side but no matching snaps on the other. The lady said it wasn't a full sleeping bag. More like an early version of a snuggie. Ha! It's comfy and pretty. A great combination. That's a faux quilt pattern on the front. I love love love the patterns and colors.
a vintage blanket.  maybe my favorite thrift find ever.

It makes me super happy. And it was $3.99.

It rained here for several days straight. I was lazy and all my shots are of raindrops. I'm an overachiever like that.

carousel


Little lady's first carousel ride. She loved it, but had to take it all in the first few times around. This is her serious face.

love.

I'm in love.


I could browse this dude's site for hours. Love the shape of this cabinet.


Every year at Crafty Bastards I see this illustrator. So cheeky. I think Coral needs the gorilla for her wall.


Can't you picture this filled with mini gherkins, olives and pearl onions?


A good excuse for cake...like you needed one.


Narwhal! Check out her faux feltidermy.


So playful. More woodland pretties in the shop!

“If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things in nature have a message you understand, Rejoice, for your soul is alive.”--Eleanor Duse
