Today, I am showing you one of my treasures 

that I snagged up from one of the vendors at my  sale.

This huge white pitcher 

was filled with these gorgeous English roses

all for $15!!!

Can  you believe that?!

Sunday, instead of cleaning up,

 I headed outside to play...

here are just a few of the shots.

Thanksgiving

is the evidence

of our

acceptance of

whatever He gives...

take a peek...

another 

 miss gracie's and friends vintage barn sale

 has come and gone

It has  been a whirlwind of a week

so many ideas...so little time

I'll be back soon with more photos

after

I get some sleep.

my view...

This is my view from the  back of the house...

We are down to the push week

for the barn sale.

It is coming together~can you tell?

We have some fun things this year.

My Mr. says I have more * stuff * than ever

but he says that every year.

I like this view.

It shows progress

creativity

thriftiness

and

teamwork.

We still have  tons (understatement) to do...
and

This is my view when I back up a bit...

 and turn around.

 This view I LOVE...

I We still have tons to do.

It has been a relief to step away from

the computer

and 

be busy working.

Thanks for checking in...I'll be back.

I'm determined...

I am determined

to not  miss these days.

For years now, I have missed these  days 

of late spring and early summer

 in the garden 

(the flower garden, my flower garden)

and on my porch

because I was too busy.

Too busy with the sale and all that goes into it.

NOT this year.

I will stop and smell the flowers.

I will  sit on my porch.

I will eat my pancakes outside.

I will stop and see the beauty that is now.

I think it took every last  peony bloom 

to fill this coal bucket

it.was.so.worth.it.

You probably won't be hearing from me 
much in the next few weeks.
I'll be painting. or holding that grand-girly or sitting on the porch.
Something's gotta give...
but don't you worry,
I'll be back when it's all over.
