May I Pour You a Glass of Wine?

I'll be right back with the cheese and crackers........

Good Morning Birdies

Good Morning Sweet Birdies.....

I hope you all have a beautiful day!

Putzing...

Nothing exciting....

Just putzing...

(don't you love that word?)

Anywho - doing some putzing in the hall...

Dusting, putting things away - putting things back... 

No biggie - just putzing......

*edited* to confess that now I've been putzing in the dining room...

Kitchen, here I come!!!!!    ;-)

For Lisa.... xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo 

(by the way, our little Doxie Diva is sooooo proud of her newly grown chest hair!)

;-)

Mantel Fun

Just for fun, I propped this old fireplace mantel surround that I got from Vintage, against our dining room wall....

And speaking of fun, I am painting an old buffet that was sitting where the mantel is now, RED - but I'm leaving the drawers the way they are. This is going to be our wine bar.......

If you want to have a little decorating fun, grab a paint brush and paint something in one of your favorite colors - don't worry about achieving "perfect" results ... you'll love it anyway!  ;-)

Mayfaire

I had a WONDERFUL Mother's Day and I hope that you did too!

I was spoiled with cards, flowers, presents, lunch AND dinner and of course sweet Maggie kisses!  ;-)

As we traditionally do, we strolled down our sidewalk to Mayfaire, which is held every Mother's Day weekend....

There were many displays of colorful art.....

And colorful birds also joined in the fun.....

Lots of hot babies were pushed in style......

And very hot doggies were VERY good sports .....

pssst.... this is Maggie's cute cousin - Bo!

There were plenty of pretty places to cool down....

And ladies wore their pretty hats......

Lemonade was available to quench the thirst....

And plenty of fair food was on hand to satisfy appetites....

It was a lovely time - I SO love living downtown. :-)

***********************************************************

At the end of the day,

As the sun dipped from the sky

My heart knew ONCE AGAIN,

How very blessed am I.

   

In Living Color

Life may be like "a box of chocolates" but I also think it can be like a box of crayons - filled with color!  I know that I, personally, need to be surrounded with it.  :-)

While I didn't get to play in the rain yesterday, as, alas, there were NO raindrops, I DID get to play in the living room ......

I think the chairs have landed!

Well, at least for now!!!!!

**************************************************************

I hope you have a wonderful weekend AND a beautiful Mother's Day!

Love you bunches!

xo,

Kim

No Rain

It has been sooooooo long since it has rained here.

My poor flowers are struggling.....

What do you think doggies? Will it rain today?

Sigh.  Who nose?

;-)

Like Mother, Like Daughter

What is more wonderful than having your daughter home from college?

Having a daughter who found TWO vintage chairs in PERFECT condition for Daisy Cottage - and only $25 each at Goodwill!

Now, they are NOT red and yellow, but they DO pick up the blue in the table from the consignment shop and you know that I LOVE mixing things up - the more pattern and color, the better! ;-) Sooooooooo I'm determined to find the perfect spot for these sweet chairs! Maybe in the living room for a fun change????

Or maybe in the "granny room", or the bedroom, or the dining room, or the.........

Have I said lately how much I LOVE THRIFTING? Have I said lately how much I LOVE my daughter? 

;-)

Old and Beautiful

Isn't it wonderful when we can see the beauty in the less than perfect things that surround us and even in the shabby, old, and discarded? We ARE lucky, aren't we?

I think so.

Sad

She misses her.  I know, Maggie, I do too.
