Share Your Style #19

Hi Everyone, and Welcome to Share Your Style!

Thanks so much for taking the time to come by and share all your summer fun with us. 
I love seeing all your great projects, DIY, recipes, and summer decor.

And speaking of fun decor, Holly from The Coconut Head's Survival Guide transformed a gargage sale score into her own version of a PB Patriotic Oar Decor. What a great idea for your Summer and July 4th Celebrations!

the comfort zone...

A couple of months ago when my husband first brought up the pick-up and camper idea, I have to admit I was not really "on board". He'd talked about it off and on for years, but it didn't seem like much of a reality. Then 12 years ago our lives changed drastically with my heart problems and basically our focus on life became more day to day and month to month, rather than long term.

Then Hubbs had his own health problems with Meniere's for a few years. After his surgery a few years ago, he's pretty much back to "normal". But we've both realized that whatever traveling we were going to do was not going to be by plane. Him with an inner ear issue and me having had blood clots in my heart, the thought of flying... anywhere... made both of us shudder. We've gotten used to the idea that there are plenty of wonderful places we can visit and enjoy that are here in the states. Although it would be wonderful to jet off to foreign destinations, I prefer to be firmly planted on the ground. Does that make us over the hill fuddy duddies? I hope not. In our perspective, just a little more realistic and practical.

Patriotic Summer Kitchen Tote


With the 4th of July just around the corner, it is time to break out the 
 Red White and Blue!

I've been working on changing up the Kitchen Sitting Area, and giving it a patriotic feel. The kitchen needed a good dose of "Summer" so I'm giving it a punch of RED. I started with the kitchen table, and gave it something different to wear. So here's just a peek at my Vintage Summer Kitchen, with a white tote filled with vintage utensils.

Ode to a small white table...

I've always had a "thing" for small white tables. 
I think it's something about having a clean white canvas...
a place to decorate that's not overwhelming.
It can be seasonal, Holiday, themed...
a small white table can be anything you want it to be.

I've missed your face...

...that's what I said to her when I found her again a few weeks ago.

Hi Everyone, I'm so glad you're here to 
Share Your Style!


Hope you're having a good start to June,
 it's definitely warming up around here,
 and Summer fun is on everyone's schedule.

When I look for features, it's always wonderful to find something new and different. I'm such a vintage garden accessory fan, and Mary from Home Is Where the Boat Is, always wows me with her charming Potting Shed and Garden Decor Posts. You have to see this Blooming Monogram Mary made with wildflowers and boxwood. Now I'm on the hunt for a vintage initial!
