last days of summer...

this summer has truly been a gift...

have a lovely weekend everyone...

buried treasure

to me, the beach is like a large treasure chest where little gems are awaiting a glance, and then are scooped up and then carried off to their new home... oh the lovelies make me so happy..my suitcase was nearly 52lb due the all of the treasure...(ok, not all of that shells) and lucky for me, the guy looked the other way and didn't penalize me... what a lucky day!

relaxation...

the exciting moment of truth... when you are approaching that fabulous place known as the beach. it is to me, the best place to be... especially with very dear friends who share the same feelings.

so, since i was with my friend at brockstreet during this time, i will re-live this one shot... it was so wonderful. more to follow...i hope everyone is having a wonderful summer...what have you been up to??

what was i thinking??

do you ever have those moments where you pass something up and then years later think...

"wow, i wish i had that now"... this is one of those moments. i am having friends over this weekend and as i am arranging the garden furniture i remembered this set i found in the south of france that i "passed up". i still think of it and at least i can remember it from this lovely photo.. no worries though... i still have wonderful pieces and we will have a fabulous time... happy weekend everyone!

transformation

as i have mentioned, i am a sucker for finding great old pieces and seeing what life they have had and what they can become. God has truly blessed me with my business and i love doing what i love most... restoration. here is fabulous example of how with a little faith and true craftsmen, anything is possible...
