True Luxury


Picking your own salad from the garden moments before the skies open up.

Rain.


Coming home to a post card from your oldest friend who still lives in Michigan on Lake Huron and referenced Bootsy Collins. Funkalicious.

 Threadbare flea market treasures.



./[p'; ( from Gus)

I went with 35.00 and spent 35.00. The rug was 7.00. Who could say no?
The print 5.00. A lovely soft burlap sack with drawstring, framed dried flower, a stoneware bowl from Bennington pottery and a funky Persian print tablecloth ( reference the 70's) rounded up the $$$.

This girl was on fire.

Another necessary luxury?



It's June. I see you what y'all are up to on Instagram.

Next Monday, the 16th, give it up.

Show the people what you got.

You know you want to.

    The lettuce looks so delicious! Your flea market purchases are beautiful. I will be out of town this Monday so I don't know whether I will be able to join in or not. I can still visit, though.

      We';ll miss you. You can do it in advance and schedule it to be published on Monday.

      But if you do remember to hit publish after you set your time otherwise it languishes in your posts.

      Ah! Good idea. I am leaving bright and early tomorrow. Let me see whether I can manage something today because my yard is full of beautiful flowers.

      Already done, Jane.There was a near miss this morning when two cats screamed around the corner like Grand Prix drivers...I moved the vase, took some pics and, as Arnie said,"I'll be back."

    I love that rug-the colors are so soft and deep. I'll be playing with flowers this weekend, for sure.

      I know! Initially it was 10.00 but when I hesitated, because I have no place to put it, he said 7. I said why not! It's beautiful.

    This is why I stay away from garage sales, thrift shops, etc. I'm trying to downsize.

    Love your white iris!

    I love rugs when they get old and comfortably worn in. Code for worn and holey, I guess! Yours is lovely. See you Monday. I have roses all over the garden.....

    Snap peas from my garden now. And the remaining garden blooms are overflowing with the rain & nice temperatures. Even the weeds are comfy.
