Hey June!

Summer is in the air...






and thoughts turn to the sea...
{and stamping shells...go figure!}


Be sure to stop by Faded Charm Cottage for White Wednesday.

This little birdie just wanted to let you know something...

Stephanie from ANGELIC ACCENTS is the winner of our
Cottage Charm Give Away this year!

LBS

Yep...a rippin' case of LBS...





that's what I've come down with...





Stand back! It could very well be catching!





Yuppers. It's full-blown.

Lazy Blogger Syndrome.






Symptoms?
Way too much time thinking about lolling in a hammock!






**sigh**how cool is this?
{but seriously, how embarrassed would you be
if you were THE one who made that poor palm dip
into the water! ;}





Nah... the fake palm trees don't cut it...
{out here we have cell towers that are "disguised"
as palm trees...uh,yah...I know...}

I'll shake it soon, I hope...
or runaway to a land filled with hammocks! ;}


BTW...any of you been stalked by the Census people yet?

Creating Confections...

Andrea of VINTAGE BELLA is our hostess today for her
"Show What You Create" blog party...

Since I cannot stop myself from glittering shells of all
shapes and sizes...I wanted to find a fun way to display
them so I could catch a glimpse of the sweet treats
whenever I needed some sparkle!







A candy box seemed like just the right place...






for such tempting...




and delectable morsels!

What do you create?
Be sure to stop by Andrea's to see what everyone else is creating!

Sometimes I Just Worry For You...

Swiss Miss Meets Cafe Au Lait...

Yep! That's her, CHANI . The Swiss girl living in Paris whose
posts are in English, French & German! Phewwwwwww!





And did I mention she's pretty darn talented to boot?!





She makes adorable treasures!





She takes dreamy pictures!






See what I mean!






She has a "thing" for Americana...how cute is that??!!






And what she calls "Shabby Americana"...Old Glory treats made
in monochromatic colors...pretty darn cool!






So, if you have some spare time today....






take a tour through Chani's world ...





and visit SUCRE ET CANNELLE !
{that's "sugar & cinnamon" !}

Down The Garden Path...

How in the world did "led down the garden path" ever come to
mean something negative????



Let alone, "to deceive or hoodwink"! {even though "hoodwink" sounds
like it would be something fun, doesn't it? ;}




Just what could possibly be bad about being lead down this path?




Or this one? Come on...you know there's something magical at
the end...you just know it!




If not actual faeries....




then Mr. Knightly or Mr. Darcy or Captain Wentworth or...
oh, sorry, I'm back!




At the very least, there is pollen dust dancing on shafts of sunlight...





the perfume of a multitude of blooms...




the peace and solitude that breeds daydreams...




or the amazing sight of God's creations that makes the
"wonder" real again.

So come on! Let's go! There IS something down there!
