Fruits of our Labor

 A beautiful summer day in the high country of North Carolina

 The pictures of the countryside were inspiring

 The lovely mountains loomed in the background

The vines of life flowing over foundations

We stopped at a winery and saw these beautiful settings

So we did wine a little and felt much better!

And yes, I did taste the air, the fruits and the sweetness of the soil

I hope your Labor Day is filled with wonder!  Di

   

   

Dog Days of Summer

The colors of nature are reflected in many projects.  

This plant caught my eye at Whole Foods and I knew it would look perfect in my watering can

It cascades down the side and is so soft to touch

It is perfect for my porch vignette

My grandson and puppy love the rockers on the porch

The Bird House fits nicely in the new garden area.  We are not putting it on the post until we move into our new house 

 The grandsons love the yard as they run with the dogs

We are having the "DOG Days of Summer" here, it is hot

More pictures of the rental to come as we settle in!

Beachy Vintage

 Before I packed up the house to move, I took pictures of my favorite beachy vintage goods.  I found the bottles in California and love the blue bottles, welded silver and shells.

 This fun group of shells sits in a pot and is my shell topiray

 Since I'm a Florida Beach girl, I love all kinds of shells and have collected them for years.

Talking about beach babies, this little guy is getting some cooling off in the pool.  The temperatures here in North Carolina have been hot this week!

And of course, Aydie at the beach in Florida

 I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!
