A New Typewriter
I got the cutest typewriter this weekend. My guy and I went out to some little antique shops. I saw so many neat things. I fell in love with this little typewriter.
It actually works. Who knows, I might just sit down and type a letter today.

New Chair Slip Cover
Today I am joining My Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday and French Country Cottage for Feathered Nest Friday.
I am so happy to say I have completed a summer project. I finished a chair and ottoman cover. It is far from perfect. I had the help of Miss Mustard Seed's blog. The best thing is the cost, $20.00 for a painters cloth from Lowes.

This is my first attempt at making a chair cover and there are many imperfections, but I really like the way it turned out.

Crape Myrtles
I am joining Fishtail Cottage for Cottage Flora Thursday and Tootsie Time for Flaunt Your Flowers Friday.
It is hard to believe it is Thursday already. The weather in East Texas has been so nice for the last couple of days. We have actually had rain and cloud cover to give us a break from the hundred degree days we have been having.




This is a smaller one, but it puts on a beautiful show.

This pink one is outside my kitchen window and it is so pretty. I have not seen one like it. The blooms go from light pink to darker pink.

Cottage Flora
I am joining Fishtail Cottage for Cottage Flora Thursday. You should pop over and check out all the beautiful flowers.



This is a Texas Star Hibiscus.
This is a Hardy Hibiscus, and the plant is full of blooms. It must thrive on the heat because it gets the afternoon sun.

Gracie Mae's Boutique
I am sharing a cute little shop in downtown Kilgore, Gracie Mae's Boutique. This is a must if you are in the East Texas area. I could stay in here for hours just looking at the little vignettes she has put together.

I want this old bicycle so bad, I have the perfect spot for it in my flower bed. I could just fill that basket up with pretty flowers.
A cute little patio set all rusty and chippy. Butterfly and dragon fly pillows.
A twin bed tucked away in the corner with lots of fun pillows. Just look at the antique bed side table.
You get a better view of the little table, old Big Ben alarm clocks, and a burlap canopy over the bed.

Teacup Tuesday
I am linking up for Teacup Tuesday.
I have a small collections of teacups, most are pink. Some how I ended up with a couple of purple. I love all the details on them.
My favorite ones have the flowers in them.
