A Summer Baker's Rack

Do you ever get this urge for something

 and you just don't give up until you find it?

of course you do...

I'm going to believe that's a good trait to have

and not some kind of borderline personality disorder... te he

Well, I had a bee in my bonnet for a bee skep...

I just had to have one for my summer Baker's Rack in the sitting room.

Actually, I wanted one to use in my French Garden Frame,

but the more I thought about it the more I wanted one 

just to display for the Summer Version on my baker's rack.

I haven't changed much up lately,

but having a bee skep always reminds me of a French Country Garden.

This little skep isn't very big, 

but I can just imagine it in a lavender filled garden...

maybe soon.

I always enjoy my little French Garden Girl lamp here,

I light her up every evening for a sweet warm glow.

I'm really missing my sunflower displays this year.

but I have my "sheeps" that always hang out here...

Also want to share this little bit of history...

I had to brush up on my historical knowledge of Shakespeare on this little celluloid print. It's a rendering of Anne Hathaway's cottage (Shakespeare's wife) in Stratford-Upon-Avon. It looks like it might have been a souvenir of a trip in the 20's or 30's.

We're finishing up the house business...

and will be closing on it soon.

Everything's out and clean.

Now I just want to start looking for a new home,

but we've decided to take our time and not be rushed.

oooh, that's so hard,

I'm itching to get settled!

Hope you're having a wonderful week,

joining in at these parties:

Wow Us Wednesday at Savvy Southern Style

Summer candlelight

the ones that care about what's happening to me in life, and that I don't have to "entertain" and impress. Thank you, to all of you who care about the person behind the blog, and that realize that sometimes,  "Life Happens", and it's not always about pretty pictures, lovely houses, and the latest and greatest. (although, we all still love that too!)

Before I tell you about my week, I want to tell you about these wonderful (I have two) little beeswax candles that I ordered along with a bee skep for my baker's rack. I had been feeling pretty down and these were waiting for me when we arrived home. I'll share the bee skep soon, but thought this little vintage floral saucer said "Summer" right along with a sheet of vine-y greens from my wallpaper sample books. 

(gosh, I love wallpaper, but get tired of one particular pattern too soon)

 The order contained this little tied herb bundle 

and some cinnamon wax melts. 

heavenly...

I have two sets of these cups and saucers,

 but the other's must be packed away...somewhere.
