Show and Tell Friday!

Pin It Now!


Welcome to Show and Tell Friday! Thank you to all of you that join in every week!

 Today I'm sharing my little garden birdbath that I've had for a very long time!  I'v moved this thing to 3 different homes!  It's has a crack which I tried to repair and didn't but I still love it!  I have a plan to do a china mosaic in the bowl but it's been years that I've had that on my list and it's still not done! Maybe someday...

Amazing Autumn!

Pin It Now!



Amazing Autumn!, originally uploaded by Romantic Home.
It's finally starting to feel like Fall here in Northern California and I couldn't be happier!

As usual lately, my blog has been taking a backseat to my busy social life! I had the most amazing date I've ever had in my life last weekend! The guy I've been seeing for the last three weeks took me on this whirlwind evening of fun! First we boarded a private chartered plane and flew to an airport about 40 minutes north of us. There we met up with some of his business associates that were flying in from another Northern California airport. We all piled into a Hummer limousine and headed to the concert to see Rascal Flatts, with VIP special treatment! After the concert we flew back home! It was really an amazing time!

Taking off at Sunset

He even brought champagne!

I have a feeling that this date will be hard to beat! I'm still feeling like I need to pinch myself...it felt like a dream!

Show and Tell Friday!

Pin It Now!


Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!  I had planned to decorate for Fall last weekend but it was so hot here in Northern California that I just can't get into the Fall mood yet. It's been in the high 90s but it's supposed to start cooling down soon...thankfully!  We had such a cool summer, it was only in the 70s and low 80s almost all summer and now the heat comes in October! 

These photos are from last year! Just seeing them gets me a little inspired to make the change from pastels to my blue and white transferware.

  Since I'm still dieting I won't be filling this jar with pumpkin candies this year. These are one of my favorite candies and I won't be able to resist them!

Girlfriends

Pin It Now!

Sorry I haven't been here since last week! There's no excuse except I've been out having fun! Fun dating and fun with girlfriends! A friend of mine emailed me this "Girls in My Circle" and I thought I would share it with you...along with photos of some of my girlfriends...


GIRLS IN MY CIRCLE

My good friends, Kim and Natasha


When I was little,

I used to believe in the concept of one best friend,

And then I started to become a woman.

And then I found out that if you allow your heart to open up,

You would see the best in many friends.



One friend is needed when you're going through things with your man.

Another friend is needed when you're going through things with your mom.

Another will sit beside you in the bleachers as you delight in your children and their activities.

Another when you want to shop, share, heal, hurt, joke, or just be.

One friend will say, 'Let's cry together,'

Another , 'Let's fight together,'

Another , 'Let's walk away together.'


The girls at the winery with the Jason the owner

 One friend will meet your spiritual need,

Another your shoe fetish,

Another your love for movies,

Another will be with you in your season of confusion,

Another will be your clarifier,

Another the wind beneath your wings.


That's me in the center - 1978!
But whatever their assignment in your life,
On whatever the occasion,

On whatever the day,

Or wherever you need them to meet you with their gym shoes on and hair pulled back,

Or to hold you back from making a complete fool of yourself .

Those are your best friends.

It may all be wrapped up in one woman, But for many, it's wrapped up in several..

One from 7th grade,

One from high school,

Several from the college years,

A couple from old jobs,

On some days your mother,

On some days your neighbor,

On others, your sisters,

And on some days, your daughters.

So whether they've been a friend for 20 minutes or 20+ years,

AND ONLY IF YOU'D LIKE TO,

Pass this on to the women that have been placed in your life

To make a difference. Including the one who sent it to you.



Thanks for being in my circle.

Show and Tell Friday!

Pin It Now!

 The only Fall decor I have out right now is a pumpkin on my front porch! I hope to pull my things out of storage this weekend! I started looking through my blog to see what I've done in the past and found these photos! I just love these sparkly pumpkin candles than I found a couple years ago at the grocery store! I thought they would be perfect to share today for Show and Tell!
