Lounging...

Growing up in the south, a porch or patio of some sort is almost an essential place in a home. And with all this warm weather {in February!} we would really enjoy one right about now.

Never Long Enough...

Oh weekends, they are never long enough. On Saturday my sister and I made our way over to the Seaside yard sale. It was a busy little town that day! And the weather was perfect. While there we were able to meet Erika and Seleta! It was so great to meet these two ladies in person and I could have spent the day visiting with them. Thanks ladies for getting together. We ended up leaving empty handed from the yard sale, but definitely recommend it if you are ever in the area when it happens. All in all we had a relaxing weekend visiting together, lounging in the sun, playing with our brother's new puppy {a Chesapeake Bay retriever}, and keeping up with and entertaining our niece.

I hope you all had a great weekend as well!

Weekend Delight...

We are off to the beach this weekend to visit my sister, brother-in-law, and our 18 month old niece, who we haven't seen since Christmas. We hear she is a little chatter-box now, even calling and leaving me a voicemail. While there I plan to meet up with some blogging friends; how exciting! Have a lovely weekend!

Open Seat...

Yesterday was quite a day and today is starting off similar. I am happy the sun is shining though. Isn't this window seat so welcoming. I am sure many of us could spend hours here just chatting.

Rethink & Repurpose...

(light fixture as a vase)

After picking up this magazine this weekend, I checked out the DYI website and was drawn into the storage section, because I am always needing more of it! It would seem that most are trying to save these days so I was happy to see their spin on flea-market finds repurposed for some everyday uses (following suit to last weeks post). After seeing all these things, I really need to visit a flea-market soon! Have any of you repurposed a flea-market find? Please share!

Dad, when you are done with them, I want them! :)
