One of my local Haunts when I want to just look.

This would go nicely in someone's dining room. I'm not a blue girl; so it's not for me.

I love this coffe table; the glass it open and you can display stuff in it.
Love this little bistro set; cover the seats in red and white . Bam.


Already have one or I would have bought this one.





I like egyptian history.



Anyone need a blue vase, it's big.






I've tried to figure out where I could put this but, to no avail. I'm full.


I need more space for storage. But this want do. I will have to figure out something else.
See anything you just need, let me know and I'll put you in touch with the store owner.
They have reasonable prices. The store owner is not me.






Latest have to haves.....................


Doesn't Paul Newman just have those kissable lips; so pretty and puckery. And O'w let's just say once I say this leopard print wrap; it never left my hand. I was afraid someone would pick it up.
I didn't want to show anyone that I could throw down a baby sister tantraum. The old record albums will one day find a home in my boys room. One day...............hopefully soon, right sweetie!!!!

Front Yard Dishing

Is there ever enough time in the yard. July will mark our third year in our new home. I have lots of gardening ideas so many that my husband wonders why we ever planted grass if I am only going to dig it up. I just say Sweetie, that's just Women for you. Just like wearing shoes that are pretty but painful. Pretty is Pain, sometimes; pretty is pain.

I found some wonderful things from my latest venture of antique shops. Look over at Southern Hospitalities blog and see all her finds and everyone elses. These are yard sale finds and not antique, but still some great things.

These little guys will be in time for Fall..........


In the front of our house, I have pumpkins that just sprout up from last years seeds. So these guys will be ready for Fall. Doesn't Fall sounds so nice with these 3 digit degree temps.
If you are wondering when to plant those pumpking seeds, start in early part of July and they will be ready for Fall.

Nasty Meetings.............Don't you just hate them.





Don't you just hate the nasty meetings where they make you stay at these Nasty O'le Resorts, where they deliver your food to you pool side and the kids get to see how much water they can soak up. Don't make me go agaaaain please......................please don't throw me in the briar patch.......................................................... ( if you don't know what I'm talking about, it's from the Children's book, Briar Rabbit, my husbands favorite).
Seriously had a wonderful time at the Naples Grand. The food pool side was great and reasonably priced. There is a tram that takes you to the beach. They have food, bathrooms and rentables at the beach. If you stay at the hotel, you get a chair free.
So this week we are all sporting our sunburns; even with spf 30.

One of my Favorite Antique Stores...............


Well hello...grrly grrls, long time no speak to. Shew, let's just say it's been a graduation whirlwind of parties and travel. From Pensacola Florida to Central Florida. The above treasures just happen to come from one of my all time favorite antique stores. The store is located in Pensacola and the name of it is Alyssa's Antiques. She also has a sister store located a few miles away. Everything is in there at such reasonable prices. Love, love, love it.
I found these adorable strawberry plates for $3.00 a piece. My theme for my kitchen is Strawberries or fruit and veggie canning. These will go perfect. Some old Church Recipe books ( $1.00) and this old shutter, that I can use for all kinds of decorating themes. The cracker jack boxes we bought at the Cracker Barrel on our way back home. Don't you just love the Cracker Barrel, I can just look forever.
I have all kinds of idea to share with you. I was out of wraping paper for a gift and in front of me was an old pattern . I thought that would be cute. A gift wrapped in old pattern paper tied with pieces of fabric with cute little cards on them . I had previous purchased the cards from " No Place Like Home".
Also pictures to hang. My cousin bought me a strawberry picture from a yard sale. Don't you just love cousins. And my grrly room to decorate. I am tired of looking at the same thing. So she will probably get a re do, maybe tonight. I have extra children tonight, so tonight might not be the best of times.
So ta ta for know.
Didn't realize I was so wordy today. Guess I really did miss you guys.
O'w one more thing. Dad's returning to the Dr. tomorrow. This week we should get results.
thank you all for asking.
