A Pop of Color

What a beautiful day for celebrating the 4th! My dh and I decided to keep it low key this year. We were just exhausted after the sale and the wedding and moving my dd into her new home...we just needed to relax from all the busy!
   It was a little humid to suit me be the temperature was nice and the steaks tasted great too.

I am thinking about using some of these colors in my living room (this is a picture taken before our sale in the shop). I love the light green....it makes me smile.
  We are moving furniture in the shop today...sold pieces out, pieces that go to my dd and then moving more in...and I have painting to do as well.....so I had better get moving!

Updates of late.

Hello Dear Friends, It has been such a busy summer so far and I wanted to take a moment to catch up. Between opening the shop at Mother's Day, a wedding, helping the new couple with their new home and then the July sale...it has been crazy busy. I sat a spell on that old porch swing that is still hanging on the front porch. When I look through the gap of these two trees my eyes water and my heart breaks since this is the direction of my Mom's home and when I would talk to her on the phone this is what I would be looking at....but I was thinking about all the events that have happened since she has gone to Heaven so much I want to tell her....but life does go on and the first of the three girls is now married.
  I am so happy with all the madness that keeps us going, all the parties, all the weddings, all the life events that do make my heart happy. The shop has grown into a wonderful business that becomes filled with friends each month...and the fall decor is shipping...and the another season will begin...another season will begin.
