Roses and a Rooster

Purchased a sweet little piece of art today.
Done by "Craig Peterson", of Indiana, PA.

You can find him HERE.
He uses coffee, paint and ink to create his "Coffee Art".

Treated myself to a sprig of tiny roses in the colors of the season as well.

Took time out for some delicious salted carmel coffee with a friend.
She brought me this amazing clay pumpkin yesterday.
Just love it!

It was a lovely day and a great way to end the week.

Hope you all had a great day too.

Roses and Pink Ironstone

I'd never seen a tie dyed rose before.

 Found it in our local grocery store's floral dept.

 Pink ironstone.

 Love this pink ceramic spoon!

 Love these tiny pink roses too!

 So lovely!

Have a pleasant, peaceful day!

Shabby Yellow

I know Shabby Chic usually brings thoughts of white, pink, and blue, but what about yellow.

 Just a few pretty flea market finds that I couldn't pass up.

 And the roses were a steal at just $1.99.

 Hope your weekend was bright and cheerful too.

Thanks for visiting.

Playing With Roses

I've been in the loft this morning playing with my roses.

Everyone is still asleep and this is my time to enjoy.

Bet you're sick of seeing these flowers : )

Gardening While I Wait

I asked when the hallway outside my studio would be finished.

It was started 3 months ago.

"Just a bit more sanding"

So while I wait

I garden.

Trimming back the roses.

Transplanting.

Playing in the dirt.

Pretty Still

Have a nice weekend.

Gone Fishing

What do you do when your husband's gone fishing?

I buy myself roses.

That's right, I bought myself roses and decorated the loft just for me.

A dozen of pretty pink roses.

I made a space where I could sit and read a good book or take a nap or just sit and relax with a cup of tea.

I hope you all take time out for yourselves this Holiday Season.

Take time to pamper yourself and rest a little.

Step back and take a look at all the things you do to make everyone else's holiday special, and remember that you are special too.

Thanks for stopping by.

Love and hugs to all of you.

Indian Summer Blossoms

We've been having Indian Summer Weather here in PA.

This past weekend was beautiful.

The sun was shining and it brought out what I expect will be the last of the flowers in my garden.

Beautiful white mums.

There are red and yellow mums too, but I like the white ones the best.

I brought in a few of the roses to enjoy.

Hope everyone has a blooming good week!
