recent finds...

Recently I took a peek inside my friend Susan's Etsy shop,

Evelyn and Rose.

When I saw these beautiful vintage horse ribbons I knew they would look great in my space at the shop, don't you agree...

Of course you know I had to keep one for myself...

Then I found this portrait at a local thrift shop...

Perfect timing, don't you agree?!!

The next few days are going to be in the 90s and feel like...

Bring it on!

I hope the sun is shining where you are today!

Thanks for stopping by!!

missed blogging...

 It has been over a week since I last posted...

I have been a bit distracted lately...

Dealing with real life's ups and downs...

The fog is lifting a bit and I am going to get back in the swing of things!

I missed blogging!

How was your holiday weekend?  Memorial Day Weekend for us was almost a wash out, but summah is finally on it's way this week and as we say in New England,

"I'm wicked excited!"

I miss visiting and am looking forward to catching up.

I hope you all are doing well and thank you for stopping by!

It felt like summer yesterday and I was inspired to change up my chalkboard...

Have a great weekend!!

junkin' time...

On opening weekend at the campground I put a little junkin' time in with the girls.

I found some great stuff for the shop but ended up keeping this old clock face for myself...

I love the contrast it brings to my shelf in the den...

The best part of the day was watching my bff Lisa, whose house burnt down on Christmas Eve, finally start to buy some treasures for her new house!!

The old house is slated to be torn down very soon with new construction to follow!

It was wonderful to see her smiling and finally allowing herself to get excited after such a terrible tragedy.

She has had a few other wrenches thrown her way lately too ~ when it rains, it does pour.

I would love it if you could send a few prayers her way.

Again, her strength amazes me and makes me want to be a better person.

Love you gf.

I am joining the lovely ladies over at Ivy and Elephants today for What's It Wednesday.

Thank you for visiting...have a nice day!
