SEA SHELLS IN THE BURBS!!

Hi friends...

It won't be long now before we head to the shore for the summer months, but it was definitely time to "SUMMER UP" our home in the BURBS with our collection of sea shells and sea glass...(all hand picked by myself, my husband or one of our 3 girls)...

No store bought shells in this family...LOL...

take a peek and happy summer....:)

We love collecting seashells, sea glass and all kinds of wonderful finds down the shore...happy to share a very small sampling with you all...

COUNTRY LIVING MAGAZINE FAIR = 1 EXTREMELY HAPPY BLOGGER!!!

 Hi friends...

I was fortunate enough to spend this glorious day at the Country Living Magazine Fair in Rhinebeck, NY.  It did not disappoint...I'll let the photos speak for themselves...with one exception...I got to meet and get a photo with Cari Cucksey from HGTV's Cash & Cari.   She is one of my favs...her show is great...and now I'm so excited to try out her new paint that I purchased from her at the fair...She also gave me a couple of new painting tips!!...

Take a photo stroll through Rhinebeck's lovely fair grounds and the amazing Country Living Fair....

I already cannot wait until next year...

WITH CARI & HER AMAZING NEW PAINT!!!.....
she was so super sweet!!

I PURCHASED A BAG FULL OF GREAT ITEMS FROM THIS LOVELY BOOTH....
THEIR STORE CALLED "NO. 229"
IS LOCATED IN FAIRFIELD, CT

"RECLAIMED STATE" WAS ONE OF THE FIRST BOOTHS I VISITED TODAY...THEY MAKE AMAZING PRODUCTS OUT OF RECLAIMED WOOD AND BEAUTIFUL COPPER

IF YOU GET THE CHANCE TO ATTEND THIS FAIR, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT...I PROMISE YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!
