Summer porch pillows…I was on a pillow buying freeze until I saw these cuties at LTD7…I melted.
I know I’m pushing into the next season, which is crazy considering the fact that I won’t even look at photos of Christmas decor until December. However, embracing the arrival of warm weather is entirely different for me.
Now if the cold weather would actually stay away, life would be good.
This is the view that greets me as I walk to the back door…the only door people use at our house.
It’s my Village Bench…a birthday present skillfully made by Hubby. On each side you can see the topiaries painted by my mother for the same birthday…a wonderful way to be greeted.
I have absolutely no artistic talent..so I accessorize.
This pillow made me smile…at one time in my youth I owed the most hideous, beat up VW bug…it ran like a charm though. When Number 1 son turned 16 we bought him a VW Bug, had it painted bright red…it was adorable and broke down so often it was ridiculous. This was before everyone had a cell phone, so he met lots of people when knocking on doors asking them if he could call mom. I pointed out that if he ever went into sales, he’d already know half the county…needless to say he didn’t appreciate his mom’s clever sense of humor. For several reasons, all of which make me smile, this pillow was a sentimental purchase.
and finally…my motto for this time of year…
Not just any flip flops…mine are sparkle and jewel adorned…of course!
