Sweet Summer Apron

Here is a fun apron I just made.

I think it is too fun and it really made me want ICE CREAM the whole time I was making it. It is a fun new fabric designed by my friend Wendy Bentley. She is so talented. I hope you like the apron and it is available in my Etsy Shop.

You can check out Wendy's blog here.

Vacations, swimming pools and walking into our favorite Ice Cream Soda Shop smelling the sweet air of ice cream and hot fudge. Those were the nostalgic days of summer and they are here again in this fun collection called Sweet Summer.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has a safe and dry weekend away from Hurricane Irene.

Beautiful Flowers

Just wanted to share some beautiful flowers from around where I live. It is almost the end of August and these flowers are still going strong. They are all over town. Love them! Wish the petunias in my yard looked half as good as these. Too bad we can't have them all year long.

Have A Great Weekend

Go do something fun!

Would You-Could You Have a Pink Kitchen

I was at my favorite Antique Mall the other day and I eyed this fun pink refrigerator and I thought to myself: could I live in a pink kitchen? Probably not. The price on this was right though. $175.00.

It had been painted pink and they did a good job at it. This was not the original color. It was originally white.

That's right on sale $175.00

The inside was blue. Love the butter door.

The refrigerator was on but when I opened it up nothing cold to drink. I guess I was too late.

So could you have a pink kitchen?

Here are a few I spied.

I think I would eat way too much ice cream.

Although I love the look and I do love pink, I would feel like I was living in a sea of Pepto-Bismol.

My daughters though would have LOVED to have THIS KITCHEN when they were younger.!!

They would've made dinner every night I am sure of it!

What a Great Getaway

This has been around for awhile but I wanted to share these photos with you about a little retreat in the Catskills.

Sandy Foster has turned a cabin on her property into her own little getaway. This is all the very impressive because she renovated the 9-by-14-foot cottage, an old hunting cabin, herself. The cost of renovating and furnishing it: $3,000.
