Perfect Late Summer Morning

Good morning everyone.
Hope today is just as awesome for you as it is for us.

Share It One More Time Link Party #2 and Features

It's time for the Share It One More Time party!

It's hard for me to believe that summer is nearly over and fall is just around the corner.  School started here this week and with that I always feel that we are officially entering that time of year for those beautiful fall colors  I shared a little about that this week. 

Throwback Thursday - Vintage Vanity

Good morning everyone.

Today is Throwback Thursday and I am bringing a vintage vanity out of the archives that I did for Miss A's room a couple years ago.

Thoughts of Fall

Tomorrow is the first day of school for us here at the beach and with that I usually usher summer out and welcome the fall season with open arms.  Fall is my favorite time of year and I love to squeeze in every possible minute I can to revel in its splendor.  I love everything there is about fall and enjoy celebrating it in any way I can.  I love the crispness that comes with the air, the falling leaves, the fall grasses and the early evenings.  I love the bonfires, s'mores, and roasting hot dogs along with long walks along the beach and watchng the changing colors everywhere.

Throwback Thursday - Ana White Shelf

It's Throwback Thursday and I want to bring back a little family project we did back in 2012.
I found the most wonderful shelf unit on Ana White's site - Build a Rustic X Console.
Ana has a plethora of the most marvelous plans for all kinds of furniture and they are simple to follow  - so my son says.  My granddaughter's needed a shelf unit in their room for their TV, books, DVD's - all the things girls collect.  They fell in love with this one the same as I did.  So we proceeded to build it.

Wordless Wednesday - Summer Fun

It's Wordless Wednesday today.....

Taken at the Naional Whitewater Center in North Carolina - packing in as much fun as possible before heading back to school next week.

DIY Paper Organizer

I was in definite need of a paper organizer for my desk.  I am constantly putting papers that need to be attended to in small little piles all over my desk - thus they get in the way.  When I went in search of one they were so expensive I decided I could live life without a paper organizer or find a way to make one myself.  Then one morning Miss A left an empty cereal box on the kitchen counter for me and the wheels in my head started turning.  

TBT - Vintage Sewing Box

Today is Throwback Thursday and I have a project for you that I did two years ago.  This is one that brings back many childhood memories.

Wordless Wednesday - Vacation

Vacation fun - getting in as much fun with this group as I can before they all head off back to school.

This was taken at the NC National White Water Center.  

Faux Fishing Buoys

I think I have probably done an over kill on the beach inspired decor this summer but, living at the beach gives me so much inspiration.  Believe me, I could probably fill a year with fun beach inspired projects.  On that note I will tell you that this is the last one for this summer.  That is unless I find one I just can't resist!
