Now onto" Thank You Atlanta" I had the pleasure last week of going to

Charleston, SC and enjoying a small portion of

the Spoleto Festival.

Since I lived there for years, I always liked to

start my day in Marion Square. I was a little

late getting there, but just as I was getting

there, I had the pleasure of seeing this group.

I can't tell you how much enjoyment I got

from watching them preform.

Wonderful music!!! Some great moves!!!

So thank you Atlanta, for sharing this

wonderful group of people with the rest

of us. They really put a smile on my face!

A few of the other attractions.

A wonderful farmers market.

Sweet grass baskets

Wonderful art

Don't you just LOVE this?

This wonderful old church, hosting an

afternoon tea!

I used to work next door to this church and

I loved to hear those bells ring during the day.

Thanks for stopping by.

Don't forget to let me know what you think

and enter the drawing.

Bye For Now

A Shelf and A Giveaway!!!!

A huge "Thank You" to Marty at

"A Stroll Thru Life "

for hosting today's event. Be sure to

stop by for a visit with everyone.

I have been MIA for the last few days

due to a little side trip to Charleston for

the Spoleto Festival. Be sure to join me

for Outdoor Wednesday and see some of

the festivities I had a chance to catch there.

Now onto the giveaway, June 9th is my one

year anniversary. I have really thought long

and hard about what to give, sooo....

I have come up with three books I thought

might appeal to everyone.....

Here they are:

Better Homes and Gardens

Style by Nature, this is a wonderful decorating

book.

The next is Good Things from Martha Stewart.

I own this book and I love it. Tons of wonderful

ideals.

The next is Frame Your Memories from

Readers Digest.

I thought with the variety, these three books

would appeal to the gardeners, decorators, cooks

and all the crafty people out there.

The rules are simple, if you are a follower or you

become a follower all you have to do is leave a

comment at the end of the post and let me know

and you will be entered for the drawing.

The drawing will be held on June the 10th. You only have to enter once and be a follower,

for a chance to win!!!

I like things simple.

Sorry for the glare, I will get a better picture of this one.

Now onto my table top, or should I say shelf

top? This is a shelf in my mud room that is

usually full of gloves, hats and you know all

that winter stuff we don't want to think about

for a long, long time.

So last week before leaving I decided to hide

all that awful stuff and change the area into

a little pantry.

Old diner dishes with a little hen.

A little copper, a little red and a French tray.

Banish the coats!!!

Bring in the copper and baskets.

I hope you enjoyed you visit.

Don't forget to leave me a comment and let me

know that you are following for a chance to win.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Good Luck!!!

Bye For Now,

Bathroom Scaping

It's time for Table Top Tuesday, so be sure

to stop by

"A Stroll Thru Life"

and visit with Marty and all of today's

participants.

Thanks Marty for hosting.

I'm bathroom scaping today.

I decided to change the master bath and

bedroom a little for the summer. So I gave

them both a little nautical feel. The master

suite is somewhat hidden from the rest of

the house so I can get by with decorating

these two rooms a little differently and not

clashing with the rest of the house.

I found two of these large vases a couple of

weeks ago at a second hand store in a

neighboring town. They were both hand

painted. I'll show you the other one in the

bedroom next week. I'm using this one

beside my bathtub.

Starfish plates, that I used in one

of my tablescapes last year. Thrift store

candle holders.

Moving to my dressing table, I added a little

silver for some glam.

I used another starfish plate and the large

shell vase I found at a yard sale last year.

A dollar bargain! All placed on a hand me

down, has seem better days painted white

tray. Have you ever noticed how hard it is

to take a picture with a mirror involved?

See my hand and fingers?

Thanks for visiting, don't forget to let me

know what you think, I love hearing from

you.

Bye For Now,
