A great philosopher once said. . .

When it's too hot to do any work, go thrifting.  

Well, actually, I'm the one that said it and it seemed like a good idea.

I visited one of my favorite stops. . . the Antique Mall of Brevard.

I love this beautiful pink watering can.

. . . more pretty pinks

lots of pretty milk glass . . .

It was such fun enjoying the cool and pouring over all of the beautiful treasures.

Then the guilt set in. A very wise person once told me 

"Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today." She also told me quite frequently

A stitch in time saves nine.

That wise person was my sweet grandmother. She had sayings for everything and 

her words come back to me often. Sometimes as a sweet memory and other times to give me

direction or get me back on task.

Do you have any sayings that were passed on to you and continue to be with you today?

Words you find yourself repeating?

I think I need to get busy and make up some lost time. I'm glad you dropped by and

y'all come back.

O is for optimist

Are you an optimist?  Do you always look on the bright side of things?

After watching the news, hearing how bad things are locally, nationally and internationally I just felt the need to remind myself and others that there is always a bright side and that every cloud has a silver lining!

Paint Party

Thought I would join the paint party fun! Nothing gets my blood flowing better than a good thrift store find and a can of paint!

This little entry table was my latest Goodwill find.

She started out looking like  .  .  .

This one was fun to give new life to but I think my favorite of all time is my hutch and dining room table find.

The chairs had beautiful needlework that I just couldn't bring myself to cover up.

If you like to paint or just enjoy some good eye candy go over to

Glad you dropped by and y'all come back!

Cool blues on a hot summer day

These beautiful lupines grow naturally in fields at Acadia National Park.

Their shades range from a beautiful baby blue to deep violet.

I so wish they could take the heat at home. I would fill by back yard with them!

This is one of the many small lakes in the park.

Thanks for dropping by and y'all come back.
