DeClutter Day

Happy Monday, everyone. Our summer is in full swing and we're having so much fun. The outdoors is calling this week too, but Eddie is in camp so it's time to get things done. To that end, I'm so excited that Thursday is our next declutter day! As always, I'm gathering images of spare, beautiful spaces to inspire me...

Hopefully, the humble abode will look a lot like these by the end of the day Thursday (HA!!!). To see my previous declutter day inspirations, search 'declutter day' way up there on the right. I hope you have a great week!

Happy Weekend

I hope it's just like this!

Do you love this photo by Sofia, from her gorgeous blog Mokkasin, as much as I do? It defines summer and it's perfect. I hope you have such a happy weekend. And thank you for visiting me this week. Back soon.

1st Dibs This Week

Happy Friday! I hope you've had a great week. It flew by here, but I spent a wee bit of time browsing 1st Dibs. I found a few pieces I'd love to take home (surprise!)...

A handsome group I think. Find them on 1st Dibs: sweet set of bird paintings, i'm a sucker for weathervanes, settee, desk, desk lamp, and PK-9 chairs.

Camping

I love camping. These first pics are not mine, but I've been staring at them longingly since we arrived home and packed away our gear...

And that's how our trip felt to me. Those photos capture it. Plus a few of mine...

It's apparent that I love the idea of sitting by the fire with warm things to drink and eat. Eddie and Doug whittled and I watched. We had s'mores of course and played by the river. They rode bikes. It was simple and great.
I came home from our this little trip in the best mood, wanting to go right out again. We will do it again in less than two weeks and I am planning already. Can't wait.

We Went Camping

Inspired by Susann Larsson's Garden

Happy Thursday to you! Susann Larsson's garden is perfect, I think...
Don't you agree? Susann's blog Purple Area is always beautiful and has been on my blogroll for a long time. Her garden posts are some of my favorites. Please go visit if you don't already. Inspired by these photos, I will be working in my garden some more today. I have so much to learn and to do, but I'm trying. I hope you're having a great week!

The Past Few Weeks

I mentioned earlier that May was full, and I thought I'd post a few photos from our happy month...

We're starting our summer with a bang. I hope it continues to be this fun! Pics are: a view by the river, the arrival of my little sister's wedding invitation (!), the VW show in Denver, guest bedroom at my twin's home, beaded bug at DIA, Mt. Bierstadt from Guanella Pass, the Twister (we rode it!) and soft serve wearing mom's sunglasses at Elitch Gardens.
I hope you love the rest of your weekend.

June

Hello! May was very busy, in a good way. June came quickly and we're trying to catch up. The garden is a little unkempt, but I like it...

I hope all of you are well - I haven't been able to visit much. We're off to enjoy the outdoors. I will be back soon!

Beautiful Weekend

Happy week and weekend!

It's been busy so I'm thrilled to be home relaxing tonight, playing a bit with Instagram. What will you do this weekend? We'll go to a VW auto show in Denver. Should be fun. Have a beautiful one, and thank you so much for visiting!

Happy Spring Weekend

I hope you have a beautiful one!

Thank you so much for visiting me here this week and for your comments. I appreciate every one of them!

Today I Went to the Eye Doctor

for the first time in 24 years! And my eyes are perfect. Yay. Except part of me would like glasses. I do need sunglasses, so I had some fun looking through the pairs on 1st Dibs.

I think the aviators are great, and I love all the vintage Puccis. They're all sold, but give me ideas. I don't think I could wear the Chanels, but I still wanted to put them here. I saw the last pair at a Leslie Hindmann auction not long ago. Love them too. Happy Tuesday!
Top five pairs, 1st Dibs. Last pair Leslie Hindmann.

Coyote

Happy Tuesday! This beautiful coyote visited our yard this morning.

We hear the coyotes at night in the summer, but rarely see them. Especially in the neighborhood. He certainly was a healthy, fine one. I hope you are having a great day!
