HOW SUMMER EVOLVES...

Some of us wake up happy 

and some of us wake up in the doldrums. 

 Some can shake it off 

and some have to let the world know 

just how bad they feel. 

 Few of us

 have to make it a headline, however,

 but then some of us

 are more sensitive 

than others!

A little smile 

to start your morning off right.

 While having coffee 

and reading the morning paper,

 I noticed that Kai 

had fallen asleep on one of the pages. 

 It was too good 

 a photo-op 

to pass up.

I shared this shelf last week

 but have since added 

two little white vases 

I picked up at a thrift store.

  They remind me of some 

of the cute touches that Joanna Gaines

 shows in her collection, 

but for the great price

 of $1 each.

Here is my breakdown

 of the changing seasons

 and how they evolve around here.

Each season can usually be seen 

through the eyes of the sofa.

Summer decorating 

starts right around Memorial Day 

and follows into July 4th...

...then in almost August

 the summer turns into

 beach weather...

...at the end of 

August and throughout September, 

at the very beginning 

when it starts feeling

 like fall to me,

 before the pumpkins 

and the sheaves of wheat 

or the witches and goblins,

---- 

Come the

 sunflowers.

A large pot of faux 

just adds

 another spot of sunshine 

and picks up the colors 

from the little pillow 

across the way.

This is the "cheap" pillow

 that started it all.  

You are my Sunshine,

 a description that fits 

so many wonderful facets 

of my life...

...and here is another 

of the "2 for 1" pillows 

that are turning (no pun intended) out to be 

so handy for me 

when wanting needing 

to use so many pillows.

This sweet little guy

 is not one of the "cheap" ones.

  It comes from Pier One

 but I did get it on sale. 

 It works nicely with

 the blue side chairs

 and is a little spot of fanciness

 added to the scene.

I guess 

there is ALWAYS room

 for one more!

The Sun is Shining

Oh, Happy Days

Look what my sweet Captain 

just brought for me -

 just because!

More summer sunflower days to come.
