Sometimes it just gets a little hard to think of fun to blog about so today I just thought I would be real and just take it as it is around here....Just some fun snapshots inside and outside that aren't staged and fussed over for perfection...it's just being real....
This angel is Ms. Gabriella and she was taking a in a leisurely Saturday Afternoon...I love her little black/white belly....
Ms. Pus...she hangs out any room I'm in at the time...at this time I was getting ready for a bath and she always lays on whatever clothes I take off at the time....
I love these old windows with dried arrangements inside....
Don't fib to me...we all know we have these...hehe
This is the glass in my bathroom window...it is gorgeous and gets lost in the shuffle of vintage in my house sometimes....
My quirky husband is always leaving random stuff around just to see if I find or notice it..ya have that problem?? He is so funny.....Such as in my bath...on a random nail on the cupboard he hung these hair pins..."just because"...hehe....I'm sure he found them on the floor or somewhere inappropriate and he does this....
Does your husband store his pocket change like this?? Again this was my sighting today..in the bath ledge by the sink...2 lonely dimes...hehe..again..I'm sure he found them on the floor..just hanging...I find stuff like this while he is at work and just makes me giggle...that is exactly why he does it I'm sure...
He knows this bugs the heck out of me...Random shoe storage in the dining room of all places......lol ..and why?..
and last but not least my favorite...the change pile on the dresser?? It never gets all quite back in his pocket though...and why??...Ya gotta love em...
A great smiley face..remember those?...My daughter's bed when she is over...
More of her room...her name is Lydia :) She is not really into vintage much so we compromised with some modern and vintage....
More random....in the living room...
My front door and curtain....
In the office....cute umbrella...on top of desk....
A stack of books on the desk..the cute red phone was Grandma Rhoda's....memories :)
The medical library for work...with my loved ones attached.......
My work lamp...pretty quirky ha.....:)
In the kitchen we go.....yummy breakfast this morning...cherry coffee cake...
hmm fresh homegrown produce my honey brought home from work the other day....
My island and potato and onion bins..and don't forget the fresh garlic....lol
Storage above my stove.....
My trash can.....original ha....You would have thought I won the lottery...I loved it...my husband thought I lost my mind...
Coffee station....my dollhouse dresser I put recipe cards in....
My toaster cover...I just found it mixed in a bunch of old aprons in the basement....
My kitchen woodwork...and hardware.....
Centerpiece in my kitchen cubby...the cute flower pots I got at my neighbors garage sale for free....Love it!
Now out the back door......Trellises gone wild.....
A little vintage pottery to embellish is a good thing :)
On the patio.... potato vine going nutso......My dahlias are beautiful this summer...
More of the trellis.....no kidding it's wild ha.....I was tucking all the ends in but I just couldn't keep up...it's crazyy!
More patio....
Around the garage in the back yard.......My old wash tubs you can't even see anymore..the invasion of the flower plants.....
Everyone has to have a garden gnome right?....My crazy trailing plants....Everything has just gone wild this summer.....I love it! Here piggy piggy.....My quirky garden pigs...
If you look closely there is one hiding amongst the flowers....
A little rust here and there....I know I'm silly.....
There is a plantar in here somewhere...again flowers gone wild and crazyyyy.. See the funky chickens?..
To the front of the house....I love my red wagon I found at the flower shop....
I'm sorry but we all have neighbors like this...cars everywhere...It could be worse I know...I just put this little sitting area in my front landscaping...come have a sit?
My window box.....
I wanted to paint the old window red...but haven't got it done yet...there is little funky chicks hidden about....
The front porch.....We all know the infamous swing....
My little rubber boots......
My porch is filled with random birdhouses....and believe me you there are no vacancies..!
Well I hope you enjoyed my random takes this Saturday afternoon...It truly is keeping it real and how it is at my house this day......
A Friend from the Heart :)
Oh I so love visiting your home! I have a trash can like yours only smaller for my dogs food! I think they are great!! I wish I could fit one that size in my kitchen! Thanks for sharing!
Hugs, Lisa

It is always a joy to see photos of your home and gardens. The infamous change pile, I know all about that. John's is always on my kitchen island, and you are so right, he never puts all the change and screws, etc. back in his pocket. You have a wonderful evening.
Hugs,
Jean in Virginia

Your home and gardens are so colorful, bright and cheery! I love stopping by and finding myself saying - "Oh that is so clever - maybe I could do that, too"! You are an inspiration!

I sure enjoyed your little tour! Your home is so fun! So pretty! And thanks for keeping it real - as I am about to go vacuum my floors after my puppy brought sand in all over the place!
