Home Sweet Home

Summer pics of our home and yard....

Outdoor Living to the MAX!!!

Here's a glimpse of just a few of the many outdoor images I recently came across on a U.K. website called House to Home.

Talk about things that make you go Ahhhh....

Our Garden Shed

Just sharing pictures as I don't have too much time to post.

The only thing I wanted to note is that these polywood adirondack chairs, which are made out of recycled milk jugs, were pricey but well worth the investment...we've had them for five years and they're still like brand new. I'd highly recommend them.

And she calls herself Messie Jessie

I think NOT!

Just take a look at these beautiful dress assemblages made from paper
and fabric that I recently came across on Etsy.

I think she should change her name :)

Sharing pictures from Brimfield

I only took a few pictures because it was so hot and I didn't stay very long. Long enough though to stand and drool over this sold (boo hoo) picnic table and bench. I wish I had taken more than one of this booth because their stuff was amazing!

Dressed up doorway.....

We finally got around to cleaning, reshaping and painting a couple of architectural pieces we bought at the May Brimfield show into a pediment for above our doorway..

You may recall the two pieces once looked like this.

My thinking is that it could probably use a little something more - perhaps some sort of decorative piece in the middle....but for now, I'm more than content with the outcome.

If you suggest it....I WILL buy it!

I ordered this ruffle duvet from Urban Outfitters and as most on-line shopping sites do once you've added something to your cart ....they show you a teaser of what you "might also like"....

.....the matching shams perhaps?

....the coordinating and oh-so-tempting laundry tote?

It's a marketing technique that's rarely lost on me....so into my cart they went as I secretly hoped for more "suggestions". But that was it, and really, that was enough!
