~Inspiration for a Fall Chair and Simple & Sweet Fridays #237~

You know when you see something you just have to have.

Well, Carly and I were driving down the street and saw this chair out in front of a house on the curb!!

I knew I had to have it.

So, I turned the car around and Carly helped me get it into the car.

I absolutely love it.

The detail to it and it was FREE!!!

I have always wanted to have something special in our entryway and this was the answer!!

I picked some pumpkins from our garden and displayed them in their new spot.

I had just gone to Michael's and purchased some wheat stalks.

They looked great in the French Wall Basket for the front door.

I stamped pages of a book for the new chair.

The chair fits in next to our hydrangea.

The hanging chandelier adds a classic look to the new chair.

I'm so lucky to have been at

 the right place 

at the right time!!

Stan is helping me add to the new area with some growing pumpkins.

I'll share a photo next time!

I wanted to share some photos of our lab, 

Maggie's first photo shoot.

Our daughter, Carly works at Westfield UTC Center and they asked Carly to bring in 

Maggie to play at their dog park. Of course, we said yes!!

She performed like a princess!!

Maggie is 12 1/2 years old now. We love everyday she's with us!

Kale salad with pomegranate seeds, quinoa, chicken, avocado, feta, lemon, olive oil and candied walnuts.

It was a beautiful Fall weekend in San Diego!

~An Easter To Remember and Simple & Sweet Fridays #212~

Easter

 is a wonderful holiday to have family and friends over!

Celebrate traditions that we all grew up with.

My mother and father loved having the whole family come home.

I have 6 brothers and sisters and the family grew to 

12 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren.

My mother and dad would have loved celebrating with the kids.

I wanted to share with you photos of the cookies

 I made this year and our Easter table setting. 

Our family would love to wish you and

your families 

~A Happy Easter~

I used my mother's tablecloth for our Easter celebration this year!

I decided to have purple and yellow as the main color scheme.

I found this vintage candelabra for our centerpiece.

Love the purple dried hydrangeas!

  Cute little baskets to hold some goodies for Easter

at Michaels Craft Store.

I made sugar cookies then added fondant on top.

Added icing color gel and painted them.

I got the idea from La Table De Nana.

She is so creative!!

A pretty Easter bunny candle from my friend, Jackie!

Wishing you all a very 

Happy Easter!

~New Dahlia and Sweet & Simple Fridays #73~

Our dahlias were starting to bloom this week.

 I had to share with you some photos I took.

I hated to pick the beautiful blooms, 

but I wanted to enjoy them in the house!

Sweet signs of summer in the house.

Stan picked our Anna Apples today.

So I had to make an Apple and Pear Crisp.

Ina Garten's recipe is the best!

Saving sunflowers seeds for next year.

Our first watermelon.

Remember when I shared the 

hydrangea wreath last week with you.

Well, it's starting to turn purple. 

Still looks pretty good, wouldn't you say!

Hope you were able to play in your gardens this week.

Looking forward to being inspired by all of you!

Happy Thursday everyone!
