Summer Lovin' Inspiration at All About Home #99

Welcome to the All About Home Link Party, friends. I'm so glad to be feeling better and able to join in on the Party! Thankyou for taking the time to come by and share what you're up to this week. I hope you are having a great July 4th long weekend. I'm still in recovery mode after having lumbar spine fusion a month ago, (hard to believe it's been a month) but I can see small improvement each day. It will just take a while. Thankyou again and again for your patience, thoughts and prayers.

Patriotic Greetings from the Garden Room

Hello dear friends, I hope you're having a great July 4th weekend.

I wanted to share a few snaps from the Garden Room with my antique rocking horse and the goat cart dressed up with a vintage patriotic vibe. I try to deck out my horsey for each season, but often I don't take time to share what he's up to. 

Patriotic Farmtable Garden Bucket with Flags

Hi dear friends, Hope you're doing well and enjoying this first week of July. Hard to believe this is now July. To be honest this summer is sliding by, although I know that things will slow down as we get to mid July. I haven't done much decorating at all for July 4th, but I wanted to share a few pics of the farmtable decor tableau that usually gets a changeup every month out here in the Garden Room.

Flags and Teapots in the Patriotic Holiday Cupboard

Hi Friends, wow, it's so hard to believe that the July 4th holiday is just around the corner! Are you getting into the Summer groove? A few weeks ago I brought out my traditionally summer French Faience and exchanged the Green Transferware in the Holiday Cupboard here in the Garden Room.  

Summer Inspiration at All About Home #97

Hi Friends, Welcome to the All About Home Link Party. Thankyou for taking the time to come by and share what you're up to this week. I'm still in recovery mode after having lumbar spine fusion a couple of weeks ago and I really wasn't prepared for what that would be like. I'm using a walker and I basically have to rely on my husband for all the little things. Any little "off move" can cause pain and put things at a standstill. But I can see small improvement each day. It will just take a while. Thankyou again and again for your thoughts and prayers.

Lovely Lemony Daisy Arrangement on the Sideboard

Hi Friends. A few weeks ago I wanted to update and give a summer refresh to the sideboard here in the Hearth Room. I'd had a tabletop wooden wheelbarrow filled with my Garden Pot/Seed Packet Wreath and some vintage garden-y things, but it was a little too spring-y for mid-June. It was time for some early summer flowers to make an appearance.

All About Home #96

Hi Friends, Welcome to the All About Home Link Party. Thankyou for taking the time to come by and share what you're up to this week. I took a week off because of back surgery at the beginning of June. Last year I had cervical spine fusion... this year it has been my lower back. Thanks so much for your good thoughts and prayers. I really appreciate them! Thankyou Amber for hosting the party last week and for sharing a patriotic post of mine from last year!!

Summer Containers on the Porch and in the Garden

Hi Friends, I thought I'd share a quick post with some pics of my containers out back and on the front porch. These were taken a couple of weeks ago, so they are just barely blooming, not really filled out at all. This is my first time posting since I had the back surgery a week ago today. I had to have my husband help with all the "heavy lifting" to get these containers put together. He's not a gardening fan; I can barely wring enough sympathy out of him to water them while I've been "indisposed". He enjoys seeing how much color they add to the porch and the pretty blooms, he's just been trapped in an office for years, so his mind doesn't gravitate to extra stuff outdoors that might be considered work.

Hello to Summer at All About Home # 94

Hi Friends, Welcome to the All About Home Link Party. Thankyou for taking the time to come by and share what you're up to this week. I'll be taking a week or so off from the party because of back surgery this week. Last year I had cervical spine fusion... this year it's my lower back. Next week Amber will be on her lonesome, so be sure and link up with her at Follow the Yellow Brick Home. Thanks so much for your good thoughts and prayers. One more thing...

Vintage Botanical Print in the Early Summer Entry

It had been since before Easter that I gave the Entry a seasonal freshen up. I wanted to make a few changes that would carry this area easily into Summer. I had my husband pull out the floral tubs last week, but then I decided to just keep the paperwhites here a bit longer. They're one of my favorite go-to faux flower looks. I had plenty of other arrangements to freshen up to move into Summer.

Spring to Summer Inspiration at All About Home #93

Hi Friends, Welcome to the All About Home Link Party.

There's so much fun inspiration going on as we

head from Spring to Summer.

Thankyou for taking the time to come by 

and share what you're up to this week.

What's happening here...

Hello Friends, I thought I'd better get busy and share what's going on health-wise and to explain what I had to say at the end of my last post. I'll try to do this without being too tedious. I always hesitate to talk about health problems that I'm dealing with, but I feel like it's important to share things that might help someone else. 

Maison Douce

Country Cottage Garden Display

I've said many times how much I love a good tabletop or flat surface to be able to dress up with a little vintage vignette. I've had this smallish white antique desk for years, and it's the perfect size to tuck in an odd space or use as an end table. For the last several years (and houses) it's been in my office holding a lamp. At this house it's sort of moved around without purpose, but has ended up in the Garden Room doing miscellaneous plant duty. But lately it's been bare, and that's hard for me to see a bare tabletop.
