On My Radar This Week

I have always admired Liz Smith and her reporting, even if it was in a man's world. She had determination and attitude. This photo encapsulates her Chutzpah!

A wrap around roof is on my wish list. I bought a set of willow furniture for the porch, at our log home. Having the cushions made up in green Sunbrella fabric with yellow piping. Found a glass topped willow table to go with the seating but, it is going to be a tight squeeze under one roof. Hmm.

I enjoy looking at Pinterest every day. There is always something that catches my imagination!

Unloading The Jeep

Eleven hour drive and one large pizza latter...

...Steve unloaded the Jeep and I sorted through the pile.

Ordered fifteen yards of "Lamb Natural", furry fabric with a faux suede back, to cover his Victorian sofa! He wasn't quite sold until I showed him the pillows that I will make for him!

New reading material for this holiday weekend in front of the fire!
Yeah right! Party is at the shop, Friday, Saturday and Sunday! A special sale and wine with cookies for all my customers! 

I did miss my leather recliner!

A quick look out the window at the snow, leaves and firewood. 

Putting away vacation gear, a beach bag, travel bedding and a bag full of sand and shells.

The other half of the load is still in the car waiting to be hauled down to Anchor Cottage. Lots of new fabric swatches and Found items to bring into the shop.

I got quite a bit accomplished on this trip. Saltwater watercolors, historic wanderings and long walks on the beach.

Thankful to be home safe and sound.

We Are A Pair Of Knuckle Heads!

We are beach side on the Atlantic Ocean today.

Unloading chairs from the Jeep. 

Towels and five gallon drywall buckets for tables. 

The reading material is out. 

The dune behind us. 

Quit wiggling around I am trying to take a selfie of the two of us!

All settled in and comfortable.

Those chairs have been with me since Drew's dad coached baseball, they have been at soccer games and downhill ski races in the days. They are actually very comfortable and light weight. I paint, he reads, we walk the beach and have shrimp cocktails and Gin & Tonics for snack. We have a wonderful time:-)
