Another favorite today and I am hoping to finish this month with a vote on ‘your’ favorite…and celebrate with a giveaway! (to be announced at the end of the month! Stay tuned!)
So here she is….
Celina….(isn’t her hair gorgeous!)
She looks cute in anything she wears…
and loves the outdoors!
She likes to spend the day in her PJs sometimes….
or get dressed up in plaid!
Enjoy your Wednesday!
Take time to play!
I’m having the best week and would just like to share some of it with YOU!
My husband made a new banner and I changed photos on my sidebar (a test photo)……
I reached 300 followers ( I feel a giveaway coming soon)! Thanks to everyone that stops by and leaves a comment! I am always thrilled to read my comments and visit you, too!
One day I got TWO packages in the mail! That’s always exciting!
Diane from Diane Knott's Musings and her daughter Holly from Finger Lakes Art opened a new ETSY shop, Cottage by the Pond and I won their giveaway!
Diane sent me this box full of goodies (she put in extras, too) !
and Holly sent me a wristlet that she made!
I love everything….and will enjoy all of my goodies! The wristlet is something I can really use! Thank you sweet ladies!
I also found a wonderful giveaway HERE and guess what it’s called? Lavender Dreams! Doesn’t that sound perfect for me?!!
And here’s another giveaway I would love to win…or for one of YOU to win! Lydia is giving away one of my favorite aprons made by Marie Madeline's Studio ..enter HERE !
This is some Lavender at the Park! It smells amazing! I hope you are having a fabulous week!
What’s new with YOU?
My husband and I took a walk in the park this afternoon and it was perfect!
The sun felt good when we looked out at the pond.
The pond is very low and looked a little mossy and pitiful but there were still wonderful birds to watch (we think this is a tri colored heron)
and then we saw there was a pair! (I cropped these and they are not as sharp!)
and even this little guy!
The walking path was in the shade
and there were flowers blooming all along the way ( a red Cardinal flower)
We walked for over an hour…
but it was a leisurely walk….
We were kind of like Sunday drivers….
a little slow!
Hope you are enjoying your Sunday afternoon!
What did you do today? Did you get out and about?
We’ve had some of the most beautiful sunsets this week! So orange…it has reminded me of sunsets over the Rocky Mountains instead of the Blue Ridge Mts!
This was taken on one of those cloudy afternoons that produced a thunder shower! Gorgeous!
And here are some of my Goodwill ‘finds’ this week!
I love these little Fire King oven safe bowls! I need to think of something to bake in them!
And maybe I could look in my ‘new’ cookbook!
Probably won’t be making anything from this page! lol
And look at this Fisherman….Made in Japan!
And doesn’t this little lady have sass? (she has 29 stamped on the bottom! Does anyone know what that means?)
Thanks to my blogger buddy from Oodles and Oodles for always inspiring me with her wonderful treasures!
Have you found anything special this week?
Enjoy a wonderful weekend!
We’re still on a quest to find your ‘favorite doll’!
So of course you need to meet Melanie!
She is so cute ….
and is another doll that lives in the condo!
She started wearing glasses….
and now she thinks she looks smarter with them on!
What do you think?
Is she your favorite? (she’s tired of modeling!)
Enjoy your Wednesday!
Take time to PLAY and stay COOL! ; )
My hubby and I walked around downtown Hendersonville one day last week and I have a new favorite thing! You may have heard of them…or already use them!
I am definitely hooked on them and can’t imagine going back to a sponge or cotton dishcloth! Don’t you love the cute designs?
They clean the counters without leaving them wet, fold nicely to wash dishes and rinse clean and dry quickly. I am washing mine with my laundry but you can also put them in the dishwasher. Visit their Website .
And books….I just got back from the library and I have lots of books to talk about!
Have you read anything by Mary Alice Monroe? I’ve read 2 of her books and they were both wonderful! Very easy, light reading…with interesting characters that you get so attached to, you want a follow up book to find out how they are doing! heehee!
I received this book from my friend Laura at Lallee's Cottage along with these cute crocheted coasters that she made! I love Miss Julia books…she is such a character!
And now I’ve received this book from Joy at Books and Life ! I can’t wait to read it! Thanks Joy!
And I have books from the library to read….a new mystery, ‘The Monster in the Box’ written by Ruth Rendell and ‘The Other Boleyn Girl’ by Philippa Gregory that my girlfriend at Freckled Hen recommended! We always love the same books and I think I will read this one next!
And then there are books that I picked up at the library in case I am in the mood for improvement! lol
I saw this one mentioned on the blog, Class Room Chic and can’t wait to look through it and see what I can learn!
I hope you’re having a wonderful Monday!
Happy Birthday to a special girl in our family….celebrating a very special birthday! Happy Birthday Desiree! HAVE FUN! ; )
What are you reading this summer? Do you read more than one book at a time? I always do…lol! ENJOY!!!
