LITTLE COUNTRY LITTLE CHIC


 These crocks were in an antique store. There's something about them that draws me to them. Maybe it's because I have three of my grandparents' crocks when they were living on a farm. I'm sure they'd never understand why anyone would have something that was so practical, turn into a decoration.
Also spotted these. Cake plates, compotes and glassware oh my! I didn't buy anything on this trip. Tucking those pennies away for that bungalow.

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND



The weekend is coming up and I'll be out of town visiting family. Time for a nice quiet recharge. Do you have plans for this weekend?
Have a fantastic weekend!

OUTDOOR ROOM



This is the outdoor room of the quaint 840 sq.ft bungalow. 
Here is a peek of the house. The space is very small. We went up there the other night to see what things were like.  There's something very sweet about this spot. The house will be sold in June, like it or not.... Could it be our new home?

FOUND TREASURES


Can you believe I found  these on the street?  Someone had them laying curbside to be tossed and I couldn't resist taking them home. There are a couple of missing panes, but so much charm! Don't know where they'll end up. Perhaps in a homemade outdoor garden room someday? Which reminds me, our hunt continues for our bungalow. We have our eye on one that's 840 sq. ft.  It needs work, it's too small, there's no washer/dryer but other than that:) it's magical outside. I'll get a picture of the outside view and you can see what you think.
I LOVE this table.... it would never fit in the small house we're eyeing but the thought of all my friends and family gathered around sharing good laughs and turkey sandwiches (I'm no cook) fills me with joy. And isn't that the whole point. Gather the people and things around you that bring you joy.

LUCKY


How can anyone resist the simplicity of these graceful flowers. These were in a local store and I found myself being lucky enough to have a yard that grows them.Garden Calla Lilies. How lovely! Do you have any in your yard you'd like to share?

HAPPY MAY DAY

Happy May Day! Did you ever celebrate by creating a Maypole with ribbons? Life couldn't get any better when this kind of day lands on a Friday. 

I stopped into this antique store and found plenty to  put on my wish list.

I love all the white. So calm, so pretty.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this mirror. Would it be horrible if I painted it white?

If we had a house right now, I'd snatch this niche up and put it between the studs to add instant character. Voila!

whoever lives here loves beauty
