Garden Tour

I guess I should have been more specific blogging friends. These Garden Tours are NOT my yard. Every year Livingston County has them. Nine homes participated this year and I have more to show you tomorrow. I just wanted to share with you. Do you have tours in your area? Have a good afternoon! ~Earlene~

5 photoshoot pictures

Can you believe that's all I took. Everything went smoothly and did not take long at all. Jeremy and Kristine arrived at my house at 3 and were wrapped up at 6. I enjoyed my visit with them, VERY sweet couple! They left everything the way I displayed it and never staged anything. Also took pictures of my gardens. I have to fill out a questionnaire and send it in and my pictures most likely will be in the Summer 2013 issue. They will do sneak peaks on the blog. So thanks for all your sweet comments and support. Today I am off to the area Garden Tour with my sister and a friend and always get inspired. Without rain here I am sure gardeners have been stuggling. I will get pictures for you. Have a wonderful weekend friends. ~Earlene~

Americana Uncle Sam

My sweet Americana Uncle Sam on a spool arrived in the mail yesterday and I love it Marie! I ordered it from a blogger who makes wonderful items. "Olde Lady Morgan" I can't wait to see her Fall goodies..and Christmas. ~Have a wonderful day blog friends~ Earlene

Happy Thursday

I want to show you the cool Jug I found yesterday. I got it for 28.00 and love the shape. How? The other side the handle is broken off. I have a few like that, still attractive but with flaws and if you have them in a cupboard who will know. Jugs can be very expensive and this is one way of achieving a look without breaking the bank. ~Happy Thursday Friends~ Earlene

Last Nights Sunset

The sunset last night was breathtaking! One of lifes thankful pleasures for me..is it for you? Got up this morning and it is only 62 degrees. Feels wonderful! Have a wonderful day and count your blessings. ~Earlene~

Weekend

Finallly the cooler temps have arrived. I was able to work out in my yard all day and tonight it is beautiful out side with a wonderful breeze and 72. Perfect Summer weather for me. Hope everyone has their power back and cooler temps. I wanted to show some picks from Friday. I took my granddaughter to Henry Ford Titanic Exhibit. No pictures were allowed but got some cute pics pf the girls. If you get a chance to go, you must.

We walked around the museum...would'nt you love to have this Dry Sink?

Have a great week! ~Earlene~

Friday the 13th.

I have a secret to tell you blogging friends. I was waiting until my confirmation e-mail arrived. I am so honored and excited to have this wonderful magazine coming to do a photoshoot of my home next Friday. EEK! One week away!

Porch

What do you think of my new shutters? Old washboards...I kind of like the look...looks prim. I found a new cute cupboard for my porch too

. Pictures don't do it justice. I think the white siding is throwing it off. Maybe I should move it against the screen. Wish you were here sitting with me enjoying an ice cold glass of lemonade. ~~Happy 4th. of July everyone~~ Earlene
