This is just a reminder that it’s nice to make little goals where we treat ourselves plus the ones we love. Take time to make a list of things you want to do for each new season. It doesn’t have to be big or break the bank, just fun little treats and experiences to brighten…
Fall festival time.
After a hard week of too many projects, we have been feeling a little beat again, so tired. Enough already I think to myself, is there ever an end to all these beginnings. Again…how many times am I bringing up this subject, in which I think we may have put too much on our plates….
Shopping adventures…a visit to an antique store.
This store was packed. Sometimes I feel a little claustrophobic when stores are jammed packed with items but this one was just so fun seeing inside of it, like a museum. I went in to look for some vintage lace for a children’s craft class that is coming up. They have a sewing section in…
Thrift store treasures
We haven’t been out much lately when it comes to second hand treasure hunting. So I will be sharing something I picked up a few months ago. Right now my thrifted list is all about home hardware like curtain rods, drawer and door handles, all items to supply a home. We need an ironing board…
A weekend of yard sales and outdoor markets.
This weekend it was officially Fall and that could only mean one thing…bargain shopping outdoor style. I love shopping at outdoor markets. It was cloudy with mostly sunshine. The perfect temps with a nice cool breeze every now and then. We didn’t have time to stop at every table or every sale. There were so…
Taking care of business…a summer of all work and no play.
” Be Bold. Be Courageous. Never be afraid to speak up and speak out.” John Lewis Well summers over, just flew the coop? It was a busy and beautiful summer, went by too fast and now there is chatter in the air that this Winter will be a cold one. We still need to get…
In the garden…we got some edibles.
We are happily surprised our garden produced some food. We planted late and weren’t sure if we were doing everything right as we are used to different conditions where we used to live. The rain showers helped a lot, so thankful for that. I have been sharing Sunflower photos with everyone and now I can…
Back to the Little Lake.
” If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first” John 15:18 One morning I woke up and looking out my big window I saw what a beautiful morning it was and decided it was a good morning for a walk. As you all know, it has been awhile since I…
Felting pumpkin people.
These are designs based off of Japaneses toys that are so adorable to me. I don’t remember the name but their faces are so sweet and happy looking. Needle felting pumpkins is so easy. Pumpkins are perfect for beginners. Basically you’re just felting a round shape and then adding curves and a small indent at…
Testing out a new lens.
My husband surprised me the other day with a selection of lenses for my camera. He won them in an auction. I have no idea how to use them, he is the actual photographer, I just take photos for fun, but he tells me he loves my photos so he bid on some lenses for…
