It's that time of year.....

 The Fall! Just about here! The crisp air and the falling leaves. My favorite time. I love the beauty of the changing of the seasons and all the Fall festivities. With Halloween around the corner and all the decorations it brings  excitement to me. I happened to stumble across this shop on Etsy and thought I would share these beautiful nature inspired masks! I think they are spectacular and perfect for Halloween!
These can be found at..

Where my creations begin.....

Take a peek into my studio. This is actually our dining room that I took over.

We pretty much entertain in our kitchen.If by chance we need to entertain there

 I can move my stuff and put a table cloth over the table and  "Voila"! All the jewels and beads that I use

are what you see. Do you think I have enough? The answer is No! I'm a beadaholic and vintage findings junkie! I love the hunt for jewels. I'm thinking about downloading this make it yourself banner for Halloween and putting it in the window. You can find this one and many more beautiful printable images at lovecreationgal on Etsy.

So this is where I spend my time creating jewelry for my shop. Have a fabulous weekend!

Bird on a wire.....

 Or should I say on a strand of lights hanging on my screened in porch! Two cute birds found
there way in the porch this morning and here is one of them perched on a strand of lights.. I don't know how they get in sometimes but they do. It was like having a big open air bird cage {like in a zoo} looking out from my kitchen windows. Birds were flying evrywhere! Anyways, I thought this photo came out so "tweet".

Enjoy!

Raind drops........

 

Are falling. Finally a little bit of rain has fallen here in Georgia.  

My daughter captured these droplets on some leaves and made this

leafy collage. Where is that little caterpillar I wonder? It seemed to nibble here and there.

Refreshing,green and leafy. Silly me I know. Time to make a salad!

Enjoy.

The July Flower

 I've been away a bit. Taking advantage of the lazy,hazy ,hot and sticky and pretty much relaxing Summer days! I hope you all are too! We just received the back to school list in the mail today. Hard to believe it's already around the corner. Every Summer seems to breeze on by a bit faster as my children get older.

 Well I thought I would share The July flower today! Since we still are in July. It is the Double Stock Flower!
 The stock flower is often associated with beautiful symbolism. They are most commonly said to represent a contented and happy life; however, they are also thought to mean undying affection and love, as well as lasting beauty. Because of these symbols, stock flowers are often given as gifts as emblems of love, contentment and the wish for the recipient to be as happy and beautiful tomorrow as they are today. This information was found on Flowers.org.
 Wishing you all a happy July Day!

A sweet tweet......

 

 Too cute for words! My family went on a picnic on Memorial day

and my youngest decided to explore the tree and walked right into this baby bird.

We all got up to see and the sweet baby bird just sitting on the branch. I think it just flew from the

nest and landed there and didn't want to move. We then took a few pictures because we have never been that close to one before. We left it because we heard mama bird and then watched her feed baby "Philip". My daughter named it. It was just too cute and thought to share these photos!

Enjoy!

Found what I was looking for!

   A vintage glider for my porch! I'm so excited! I've been on the hunt for one for a little while and found it today. It's aluminum and has the original cushions which are in fabulous shape. It glides fairly well, I need to put a little WD40 on it to make really glide good but it's great exercise anyways! Ha! I'm sprucing up my porch for Summer and thought I would share my new purchase. My kids get out of school next week so it should get a lot of use. Have a great day!
