MOOVING THRU SOME FUN FINDS

MOO MOO
I was out junkin and found some fun items.  Can, you say cookie monster...
Yes, a fun cookie jar.  I do love a good cookie and this cow is a three piece jar!
Isn't she fun!
I love her tail, and her sweet face
Feed me!
And what about these school room lights

This was such a fun find because they certainly remind me of my school days

These sweet oil lamps are wonderful for my love of blue

 And my finished scale project looks beautiful as a centerpiece ... I saved her for the next generation!

So what have you found lately?
Di, joining these fun ladies.

Summer Flowers

Come join our fairyland of joy; we went to visit the Biltmore and had a treasureland of memories
Come join us on our adventure to the fairy land of summer flowers at The Biltmore
You can just smell the nector of summer
The wimsey of summer joy
The joy of planting
The surprise of discovery
The sweet surprise of color
The joy of a new flower in a waterland
We met new friends

A path of lily pads leading to a beautiful land
Color
Display
Imagination

I hope your weekend was filled with joy and special people!

Shrimp and Grits

July is here and the 4th is coming quick
 We are getting ready for the family to enjoy the day, how about you?  
I wanted to share a recipie I made while on the coast of North Carolina...Shrimp and Grits

 We stopped at a local mill and bought the grits, they cooked up so pretty and of course I had to add butter!
 I cooked my shrimp in a little butter, about 

10 each.  Just about 30 to 45 seconds,

 until pink.  Next remove from pan, slowly 

add cream and let reduce until thickened. 

Season with salt and pepper.


I lined the shrimp around the plate and 

poured the sauce over the grits! And 

garnished with green onion.

A simple but delish dish!


 These are pictures from our recent vacation and I can't think of a cozier setting to relax
 I plan to relax, enjoy my family and have a cookout



I hope you have a wonderful 4th!
