Friday finds from Etsy

I am really liking this gray and yellow colour combination that I have been eyeing up in magazines lately.  I might try to incorporate these colors into my bedroom.  At the moment, I have warm gray walls with pink accents but I think I would like to switch up the pink for hits of yellow this year...just to freshen up the space for spring and summer.  Happy Friday!

a dreamy garden....

Country Living

On the topic of gardening, isn't this a gem?  It's rustic, it's homegrown, it has al fresco dining, and I am loving all of it!   My husband and I dream of someday owning beautiful property complete with a pretty farmhouse.  Well, okay so the pretty farmhouse is my dream but we both share the 'living in the country' dream. Someday, I hope. *sigh*.

While I was growing up, my parents had a wonderful piece of property out in the country, we lived about 20 minutes from town.  We had three acres that were filled with beautiful flower beds and vegetable gardens, a pond, ducks and a great big deck.  Many nights we were surrounded by our family and friends.  It's funny, back then I never had any appreciation for the property or the gardens, or all of the space we had.  I can actually remember being embarrassed at times, feeling like a little country bumpkin and longing to live in town, in a new home in a new subdivision, like all my friends did.  Gosh, I just shake my head at that now.  My parents no longer live in that house, it was sold years ago, but when my siblings and I drive back to the area we all have confessed to driving by 'our old home'.  I suppose we all can appreciate now having land like that.

Hope you enjoyed this garden too! 

Friday finds from Etsy

Happy Friday to you and yours!  Any fun plans for the weekend?  Weather permitting, I am hoping to get out in the garden.  There is some much needed work to be done!  Admittedly, I am not much of a gardener.  I love to pour through gardening magazines in the spring, and I love to spend a morning at the nursery filling my cart with perennials, annuals and bulbs, and I even love to dig in the dirt and plant my new pretties, but afterwards when it comes time for the work part of it all, I fall short.  I wish there was a little garden fairy who would come and dead head, water and weed for me while I sat with a glass of white wine and watched.  My garden looks so green and full of promise during the month of May, but come September it's a sad and tired, overgrown mess.  My sister though is a fantastic gardener and her garden is always beautiful.  We laugh that she got our Granny's green thumb while I inherited the baking bug.  I suppose you can't have it all.  Have a lovely weekend!
