Good Morning from the porch!
This is what
the early morning sun looked like today.
We are enjoying
such beautiful weather now,
but before long,
the heat
will return.
A wondrous view
to happen upon
on the way home
from the
We spent
the Memorial Day weekend
at the kids.
The garage sale
was very productive
and Tami raised enough money
to put her over the top
for her breast cancer walk in July.
We all went to dinner
on the wharf
to celebrate her birthday
and had a
wonderful meal.
Shame on me!
I took my camera
but neglected to take
any pictures.
I scored
a few great finds
at the garage sale...
...a large steel orb
that will have a special place
in the
back yard project...
...a vintage Pepsi Cola carrier...
...and this 3-D art piece.
Although it is very interesting,
I won't be using the art
as it is definitely not my style,
but I will be painting the frame
and using it in another
up-coming project.
The kids
gave me this beautiful lantern
with candle
for Mother's Day.
It is another piece
to trade time between
the back yard project and
the Cottage.
I picked up this wreath
at JoAnn's last week
and plan to embellish it
with my growing stash
of dried
sun flowers.
Hope you all enjoyed
a fun filled Memorial Day weekend
and our special thanks
to honor the many
who have served
to keep our country free
and to keep America
as great
as it always
has been.
...Judy...

Found your dried sunflowers to be interesting. Never thought of doing that, but sure will in the future.
ReplyDeleteHI Judy, Hard to believe that tomorrow is June 1st. Loved reading about your weekend. We had a very nice one which included a family bbq. Have a great week.

Sounds like a lovely weekend, Judy! Great finds! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love a good sale like the one you were at, Judy! Smart buying art for the frames...I love to use them for props. And the cola case...what are your plans for that? I know crates are super popular but my mind goes blank when I wonder what to do!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful holiday weekend.

I'm glad you had a nice weekend and found some "good stuff" ! We had a quiet but nice weekend. We had a most enjoyable meal at a Logan's Roadhouse, out on the deck. The breeze was delightful but the heat and humidity is on it's way.
ReplyDeleteI love the "orb" and everything else you found at the yard sale. Your lantern gift is wonderful.
Your dried sunflower wreath will be very special.
Have a wonderful week and weekend ahead.

The view from porch is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you did very well with your thrift shop visit and you'll have lots of fun moving things around and finding the 'just right' place.
Great finds, Judy! I love the lantern that the kids gave you...you are sure to enjoy that year round. Glad you had a good weekend with them! xoxo, T.
ReplyDeleteNice finds and I love that globe with candles for the yard! Your photos are always so fun to look at.. love the horses in the field too. Our Memorial Day was nice and spent with my two sisters and families.
ReplyDeleteDear Judy:
ReplyDeleteI love your charming photos were are always so full of love and "down homeness". Is that such a thing? I think you have that touch. It looks like a wonderful place to live! Thanks for sharing and linking.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos Judy!Love the one of the horses...there is just something so peaceful about watching horses. Love your MD gift too...you can never have too many lanterns! Can't wait to see your wreath. Wishing you a wonderful day!

Hi Judy, sounds like a wonderful weekend. Your photos are simply gorgeous. So glad your foot is better and you had a good report at the doctor. We had a nice weekend too but it's been raining ever since and flooding in many areas of Texas. Happy June sweet friend. xo
ReplyDeleteJudy, lovely photos. So glad to hear you had a great weekend. Sounds like good fun at the sale. Such a wonderful gift of the lantern. The orb is a great find. Just to let you know your orb is being featured for this Sunday's link party. xo
ReplyDeleteYou found yourself a few fun pieces, Judy! I love when I can find a piece or two that can do double duty (inside and out). I hope you are enjoying some beautiful weather. We are forecast to hit 117-118 this weekend, pool here I come! Blessings, Cindy xo
ReplyDeleteI love that old Pepsi crate! What a nice find. The orb lamp is sweet and would look lovely outside on a porch or pergola. Enjoy your nice weather. It's been nice here but appears we're in for a spate of not nice weather the next few days. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteHope you are well. Lovely finds especially the beautiful vintage Pepsi Cola crate. All the best for your daughter's fund raising walk.
ReplyDeleteGreat and fun week end Judy. Love all your wonderful treasures. So happy your daughter is raising funds for the Breast Cancer Walk. Happy Week End.
