Shedding New Light

I have the most wonderful hubby in the world! Not only did he install new lights outside our house on labor day (how fitting), but earlier this week he surprised me by planting a Crape Myrtle tree in the front yard. The tree will eventually bloom white flowers-I'm already in love. Here is our little crate in his infancy stages. Hopefully he will continue to grow strong!

Good ol' Crape

New outside light from Lowes. Ben installed three, two framing the garage and one next to our front door. When our house was getting a new roof a few months back, one of the lamps had been damaged, so we decided to go with a whole new look.

More porch flowers to add a little color!

Recent Finds

Do you ever catch yourself dreaming about something you saw at the store weeks before? Well, I couldn't stop fantasying about how good these cobalt blue glasses would look paired with my polish pottery plates. So I went back to the Humane Society Thrift Store and bought them. I'm sure they are not extremely valuable, but I love their charm and the way they feel when you pick them up. Whether its a glass of wine, or a cup of ice cold water, I'll always feel fancy drinking out of one of these glasses.

Below the glasses are a few milk glass bowls that I thought would be perfect filled with holiday candy. You can never go wrong with milk glass! It transforms with everything you put in it, and wherever you place it! The backdrop for the bowls is a table cloth that I found a the SCAD, Savannah College of Art and Design, yard sale which was a few weeks back. It fits a round table, not sure of the size, but I know I'll have numerous occasions to use it, inside or out. The checkered cloth always reminds me of summer picnics out on the lawn, but I bet there could be some clever ways to put it to use in other months, maybe even Christmas. We shall see.

Only $10 for the set of four. You can't find a deal like that at William Sonoma.

Lovely milk glass bowls, also found at the Humane Society Thrift Store for only $3!

Keep your eye out for tiny treasures!
