Friday Freebie

Good Morning!! 

I thought I'd share another postcard with you.  

Isn't it a cute little church?

I can imagine the sound of the bell in the tower ringing out across the farmland calling the souls to worship.

An evening stroll

My neighbor and I went for a walk such as we do several evenings a week but this time we walked to one of the nearby lakes with our cameras.


There's a wonderful trail through the woods along the lake.

It even seems slightly magical...

Can't you just imagine this as a little house for a fairy or gnome?!

And this...an arch for tiny woodland creature weddings.

I seem to be all about the photos lately! Probably because we finally have wonderful weather...gotta soak it up!

Traveling Tea Tuesday

Due to my crazy busy schedule lately and all the rain we had last week, I never got further than my front yard with the traveling tea cup.

I had plans for our adventures...little chip and all.

I had hoped to get to the Arboretum and the docks where the lake cruisers are moored but alas it was not to be.


Since we finally had sun for a couple of days I got the deck staining finished!
See the nice brown railing in the below picture....
What a job!  2.5 gallons of stain...ugh my aching back!

I did get a couple of little things done to include in our traveling  tea cup package.

A crochet dishcloth for handwashing those delicate tea sets and a magnet with a reminder....


Stop by Kimmies today and see what's happening with Tea Tuesday.

Inspired by Jill

As I was starting to clean up my art zone...again...it never gets completed... but I digress....


I was totally inspired by the greeting card that came with my prize from Jill Ruth.

 


 

Friday Freebie

Better late than never right!?!?
Blogger was apparently having issues this morning and I hadn't pre-scheduled anything...surprise, surprise.

This week we have this dapper gent named Art.
Was his full name Artemus?
Or Arthur?
Did his mom call him Artie much to his dismay...?

Enjoy!!
