TGIF

It's 45 degrees this morning.....GEEZ! I hope my plants are okay.

I am not ready to give up on Summer yet, are you?

Starting to get the itch to decorate with Fall in the house but still will hold off till end of September. 

Going very well at my daughters Antique Mercantile.We will soon have 2 booths that belong to SteamPunk Eddie! I watched that show Wednesday night and pretty interesting.

Eddie is in the middle on the bottom.

Very cool!

TGIF and have a wonderful weekend sweet friends!

Needlepoint Chair

Do you know the chair type and it's value?

Much appreciated if you could let me know.

Is there more value if the rear legs are shaped like the fronts?

I hope your Sunday has been a relaxing one.

Are you going? I plan on it!

Do you grow Morning Glory?

 I don't know why I never plant more of these profuse sweet flowers. The tag showed  purple  and this is what grew this year.

I am happy how this area filled in too next to my

porch.

Gardening  had been great this year with all the heat, not as much rain but I use the sprinkler. We are suppose to have rain this afternoon and finally start to cool down some.

Time to get out and do some weeding.

Happy Hump Day

New addition to my decorating :0)

It is a newly made pie safe custom made by Dick at Holly Hills Primitives. Love love the old front doors with the screen.

Right now it is sitting in my dining room but plan on changing furniture around today and setting it somewhere else. I think the old tin on top really shows up now. It is suppose to rain today so good day to clean and move things around or go weed my garden.

Hmmm.....check out the orb!

~ Have a great week friends~

Planted this hydranga last fall 

Soon it will be time to trim down and tweak spent plants :0(

Last night we had much need rain here and the cooler temps feel wonderful today. Sun is shining, the birds are singing and now I am heading outside to enjoy it and work in the yard.

I feel so behind on blogging! Getting ready for opening next Saturday, getting our rental house ready to sell, estate sale last weekend,  a sick cat, and working.....phew!

This post is pictures of the house we are selling . All we have left to do is paint the garage door and front door , stain the front and back deck and porch and seal the driveway.

The yard is beautiful, mature trees, pretty flowers and great lawn and space.

Three bedrooms, 2  full bathrooms, open floor concept kitchen, dining and living room with fireplace. Full basement and 2 car attached garage. Washer and dryer on first level, stove, fridge, microwave and dishwasher. Central air conditioning too.

It will be listed for 165 with a realtor next week.

If you would like to see more pictures let me know.

I didn't mention but this house is in Stockbridge Michigan.

The heat this week has been in the 80's and 90's 

so glad we have air conditioning.

Finally we have Summer weather!

Have a wonderful last week of July!!!

Hard to believe Saturday will be August.

Hugs
