Fun Weekend filled with Friends, Family , Food and Finds!

 We had a great weekend filled with lots of fun and laughter. Our friends, The Morgans came for a visit. we always have lots of laughs when Jeff is around because he is a "fungi".

 Corn hole is always a challenge because Jeff has had lots of practise at all of the Falcon games he travels to. Joe is trying to keep up.

 we went to lots of thrift stores, antique malls, yard sales and more junking opportunities. We all found treasures.

Sunday, the rest of the family and some friends went to the Braves game.

 Good food is always better when shared with family and friends.

And lastly my birthday stash from the best friend ever. Blueberry goodness! Thank you Bert! You are the best!

Marshmallow Mushroom

 Love to see mushrooms growing in the yard. Seems they spring up over night.

 This looks just like a toasted marshmallow.

 So delicate and detailed.

Red Signature Quilt

A few weeks ago I spotted this quilt at my local thrift store. I love the red and the signatures. looked like it was from the thirties or forties. But I talked my self out of it. I left without it, but on the way home I turned around and went back to get it. It had a twenty dollar price tag on it. I tried to bargain a little because it does have couple of condition issues. One  of the ladies said "I'm sure you can throw it in the washer and it will come out "like new". I knew right away this quilt needed rescuing.

It looks like the "Baker" ladies and "Sims" ladies had a special occasion to commemorate. Seven of the signatures belong to them. I have tried to do some research on the names but so far have not come up with much. But they don't have to worry...... I will NOT throw it in the washer.

I am linking up with Sue at "It's a very Cherry World"

Give me a "Q" , Give me a "T", a "U" , "V", "X", "Y" and "Z"!

What does that spell? Nothing, it's the letters I need to finish my quest for completing the alphabet with initial pins. I have been collecting them now for a year and a half. I know these letters exist  because I have seen them on Etsy. I would rather hunt them down at flea markets, thrift stores and Goodwill.

I have received them  from my friend Bert, my daughter, and my Mama. Some I even purchased at Target. I am sure I will some day complete my collection.

Not sure why these are not showing up the right way. Uploaded from my iPhone.

Double Divine Day lilies!

 My daughter says that I take more pictures of my flowers now than my children. Guilty as charged. I have loved day lilies for 10 years now. I think I first started growing them when I found they were pretty hard to kill. Let's just say I don't always water my plants in a consistent manner. 

 These are some of blooms from 2012. The blooms are winding down now but I am still finding a bloom here and there. Love this pale yellow and pink one.

 This probably my biggest  day lily. The blooms are huge.

 Whoooooooooooooooo are you looking at?

The good life!

Happy "National "Glamping" Weekend"

Tomorrow officially starts the "National Glamping Weekend". I am so excited about getting away! I have had my reservations for weeks now. I am packing up and will be pulling out tomorrow.

Here are a few before and after pictures. I have a denim and floral theme going on. Always on the look out for more camper decor to add just the right touch.

Are you going "Glamping"?
