A Look Back............

Happy 4th of July my friends... Hope you are all enjoying your long holiday weekend so far.

It's very hot here in Minnesota today with a current temp of 90 with lots of sunshine and humidity. Got too hot being outside so I came indoors to cool off a bit, and realizing it's been quite a while since I last posted, I thought I would stop in to say hello and let you know that yes, I still am here. Haven't given up on blogging. Just being really lazy about it to be honest.

No red, white and blue to share today, so I thought that instead of posting something in those colors, I'd take a look back in my photo archives and pull out a few of my favorite photos to re-share with you. Of course, those would be some pictures showing my favorite colors of pink, pale greens, blues and yellows.

First up is one showing just a portion of my crocheted potholder collection.....

Next is a lovely china gravy boat with the prettiest of floral patterns set against a small patchwork table topper.....

Some gorgeous fabric pincushions that I purchased on Etsy some time ago......

And some of the sweetest fabric covered eggs also purchased on Etsy....

Last, but not least, a small collection of pastel flower pots.

Hope you enjoyed seeming some of my favorite things, whether it be for the second time, or maybe even the first.

Take care, be safe and enjoy the rest of your weekend!!!

Hello everyone! The 4th of July will be here once again....any plans?? As for me, we'll be flying out of town and leaving a friend to take care of the dogs here at home. But on the morning of the 4th, I head to church, then later volunteering at the soup kitchen for the homeless.  I may have jam packed my schedule on the 4th, so I guess I'll have to pack on the 2nd! 


A few weeks ago this particular home was featured in the New York Times & I was amazed at how de-cluttered it was. I mean, it's almost like minimalism, although not quite reduced to its necessary elements. As for me, I love ART too much to have so many blank walls, so I'd have to add more! However, the artwork that did catch my eye was their Mick Jagger (Warhol) print....one of my all-time favorite Warhol pieces. 

  Is your home similar or do you have a lot more items?
