My day in a nutshell


Today was a random but pleasantly fun day...

I started out the day admiring a new garage sale find.

Check out this beautiful crocheted runner















It's probably hard to appreciate on film, but the detail on this thing is marvelous.





















I can't imagine being able to crochet like that.

































I think it adds a lot to my secretary, which if you read this post you would recognize as having been plucked from a Chicago alley by this bargain-hunting gal. Speaking of bargains, this lovely doily only put me out $1. One buck, to transform this space with a lovely, soft vintage flair! (Have I mentioned I love finding great garage-sale gems??)





















Later in the day, I had to use my camera to capture this adorable stage in my son's life...
we have a tooth folks!!

While I think it adds charm to his smile, still, the disappearance of that ultimate baby gummy grin makes this hopelessly sappy and sentimental new mommy just a little sad...







However,
I don't think he's too upset about it...









Later in the day, I was so happy to get to meet up with a wonderful friend who was in town from Philly...and I also got to meet her sweet little baby girl. Happy 2 months little Ellie!


























At the end of the day, the warm, balmy breeze dragged me out to my yard where I ended up picking a spontaneous bouquet of flowers.
Magenta yarrow, pink hydrangeas, dusty rose astilbees, minty green ladies mantle, Annabelle hydrangeas and a Princess Diana rose.

































Flowers make me happy.














Who needs a florist when you can grow it all in your own back yard?!
And best of all, it is complemented so nicely by my new doily!


































All in a fun day's fun.
