Thrifting...

I found these vintage light globes in a Habitat Re-Store a while back. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with them; but I had to have them - all 3! Perfect size and shape! Too bad they didn't have more! haha

Do you ever get that feeling? The one where you just know if you don't bring the ____ (whatever it is) home with you; that you will wish you had later and then it will drive you crazy because you know it will be gone when you go back.......well I brought them home and I've just been looking at them and thinking.....until now.

I cleaned them up a little bit; not too much though! Yes, I did knock out the wasp nests. Then, I added some wire and a little charm.

I decided to put a candle in this one. Can you see the glow? I've decided to add a few more charms.....it started raining though, so I wasn't able to get a picture when the sun went down some. Now, I need a citronella candle cuz the mosquito's are out like crazy. We have been having rain frequently.

I brought this one into the kitchen - I put a jam jar inside and filled it with water. Then I cut some fresh herbs from my garden. They smell fantastic in the kitchen! I love to walk by and smell them: rosemary, basil, lemon thyme - and I added a little mint too, for tea!

I hung a little plant on the fence in this one. So much fun; I think I could use 3 more!!!
I think it's time to re-visit the Re-Store.
What have you brought home lately?

June

I know well that the June rains... Just fall. ~Onitsura

Every time I see the weather forecast it shows rain, rain, rain. Its hard to get any gardening done...perfect time to find something to do inside!
Strawberries...

Mixed with a little milk, flour, sugar, eggs, butter and vanilla .... and put into individual baking dishes;

yields yummy Strawberry Bread!


Paired with a cup of coffee and a book are a great way to spend a rainy afternoon!

Going Places?!

Where are you going? What do you want to do with your life?

I came across Kelly Corrigan's video last week and it has stayed on my mind. How many times a day do you daydream about the life that you want to live?
