Don't get me wrong. I LOVE IT! It was also my son's birthday. He was born in the snow 23 years ago and now, it snowed again! It was a nice birthday present for him. Here are a few shots that I took. I also took a picture of our flag at work, flown at half staff for the victims of the Tucson shooting. Let's definitely remember their families in our prayers.

Afterall, it is my state bird!

It HAS to be cold outside for starters. These are the requirements: Giant pot of chicken stew, boxes of crackers, marshmallows to roast and a table big enough outside to seat everyone! We had ours outside at Mama's house recently. She fixed the stew and we provided the crackers and marshmallows. We had so much fun! My son and niece had a marshmallow toss. Evidently, they go further when they are on fire!! Does anyone else have chicken stews?

We went to Buck Mountain, which is near Boone, NC. The weather was absolutely beautiful and so was the cabin that we stayed in. We rode 4 wheelers and had a picnic lunch beside a pond. We also found a waterfall that was really beautiful. Later that afternoon, we drove on into Boone and Blowing Rock and shopped and ate supper. We had so much fun that weekend! We are definitely going back!!

I can look back over the years and read what I was doing on that particular day. I've just gotten slack, plus as it's gotten colder and the days are getting shorter, I've been laying around eating this:</div>Painter's Placehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16001088004168623596noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782872630044273936.post-52032091732942556242010-08-16T21:36:00.003-04:002010-08-16T21:45:25.489-04:00Thrifty Tuesday<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ2UzLtbe8YJi0RCsxEqZY8Ojsw_oFtGaw1rOowJwkVeOj4uRstF_-4DtwmjknUSQpwtX-Q1xzwTXJif6_pvORNH3TJONIvxSA63h5Nr_sr_GWSXno5oiTlPTkDgZtwhECUFjGK37WQWWJ/s1600/Thrifty+Tuesday+006.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ2UzLtbe8YJi0RCsxEqZY8Ojsw_oFtGaw1rOowJwkVeOj4uRstF_-4DtwmjknUSQpwtX-Q1xzwTXJif6_pvORNH3TJONIvxSA63h5Nr_sr_GWSXno5oiTlPTkDgZtwhECUFjGK37WQWWJ/s320/Thrifty+Tuesday+006.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506188823842095778" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0JkirqQXnDrxJM8oabuF9Tvap1AtITLFIL6P73w3ybug4AsIPBxfTSoOQybS_UPfMlsU4FA2qs4nyb3lKimybToXwxx1JLWTsc64Dwe5v_F_nYwTIc7PXIHM_WiOwDoe8IvC1lkILR1t8/s1600/Thrifty+Tuesday+007.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0JkirqQXnDrxJM8oabuF9Tvap1AtITLFIL6P73w3ybug4AsIPBxfTSoOQybS_UPfMlsU4FA2qs4nyb3lKimybToXwxx1JLWTsc64Dwe5v_F_nYwTIc7PXIHM_WiOwDoe8IvC1lkILR1t8/s320/Thrifty+Tuesday+007.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506188812564682546" border="0" /></a><br />I'm linking up with Linda at <a href="http://linda-coastalcharm.blogspot.com/">Coastal Charm</a> today to take part in her Thrifty Tuesday. Usually I'm looking for something for the house to show, but recently a new consignment shop opened close by and I have found the best deals in there, so I thought that I would share a few with you. I did buy other items, but so far, these are the only two that I have worn so far. I don't know about ya'll, but it's really, really hard to take a picture of yourself!!! Of course, the two times I did this, I was all by myself, so I had to make do, but I think you can see them pretty good. I bought this cardigan, that has the cutest embellishments on it for only $6.00. I couldn't believe the price! Then I found this t-shirt with the giant fleur-de-lis on it for only $5.00!! I was so proud of myself. Like I said, I did buy some more items, but I will post them as I wear them later on.Painter's Placehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16001088004168623596noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782872630044273936.post-41651941196313849262010-08-10T19:26:00.005-04:002010-08-10T20:32:37.704-04:00Under the Crepe Myrtle<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgaj2_IqViPFZx7CGt2zlV2oU1sZbQvCLIOcjtpAAKlDorPrPF0NRnkVFXAJNDssIL_zGqdAa92Yk61fNn8wVgvFkL0MF5MoG75PXtpOrGsxa-9F-BJjWdWw0pTUCY2e1J6Gz0bBIHZOwq/s1600/Bo+and+Chairs+001.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgaj2_IqViPFZx7CGt2zlV2oU1sZbQvCLIOcjtpAAKlDorPrPF0NRnkVFXAJNDssIL_zGqdAa92Yk61fNn8wVgvFkL0MF5MoG75PXtpOrGsxa-9F-BJjWdWw0pTUCY2e1J6Gz0bBIHZOwq/s320/Bo+and+Chairs+001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503928669931553138" border="0" /></a><br />I moved my white chairs off the front porch and put them under my crepe myrtle tree out by the driveway. I thought they would be pretty sitting under the tree and to relax in the shade. Boy was I wrong....it's 100 degrees here in the south and no tree has enough shade from the sweltering heat, so for now, they are just for looks!!!! Maybe soon the temps will break and we can enjoy them. Please visit Susan at <a href="http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com/">A Southern Daydreamer</a> for more outdoor pics.

My niece had a little boy yesterday, and needless to say, we are sooooo excited!!! They named him Eli and he's such a cutie patootie!!! Hubby has been singing that song from the 70's by Three Dog Night..."Eli's Coming" for months and now he's finally here!!

This 100 degree weather is about to get the best of me! In the meantime, are ya'll over-run with "these"!! We have tomatoes everywhere! We usually only have 3 plants, but this year, we have 5. The funny thing is Hubby is the only one that eats them...and let me tell ya, he eats them...every night for supper. Whether it is a tomato sandwich smothered in mayo, salt and pepper, or he'll just slice one and eat it with whatever else he's eating. So now, we're feeding the neighbors, family, co-workers, church people and anybody else to wants them.

It didn't even move...just sat there. Hubby went and got the camera and took its picture. I think it was pretending that it was a statue!! It's living in the bushes in front of our house and comes out to play everyday. I still haven't seen the Mama, but I'm sure she's in there somewhere. It's sooo cute!<br /><br />Linked to: <a href="http://www.asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com/">A Southern Daydreamer - Outdoor Wednesday</a>Painter's Placehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16001088004168623596noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782872630044273936.post-12798254153415894812010-07-26T17:35:00.005-04:002010-07-26T22:17:30.718-04:00New Hairband<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFaCfRfEaoroeuGeRIKdXy6dRAAlQeMYvWk905VxY_jKTEGpMmnebIIGQURIu7nvh0ei9aFsI2CHWY6ZKjKezjnzAFJx37WpHV0r8qnOIiSHx163qo3c16QVIHdqXdIrS6cWpFK8R04-iP/s1600/iphone+pics+019.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFaCfRfEaoroeuGeRIKdXy6dRAAlQeMYvWk905VxY_jKTEGpMmnebIIGQURIu7nvh0ei9aFsI2CHWY6ZKjKezjnzAFJx37WpHV0r8qnOIiSHx163qo3c16QVIHdqXdIrS6cWpFK8R04-iP/s320/iphone+pics+019.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498333901701210786" border="0" /></a><br />Well, I went and did it!!! I bought me a hairband, headband, thingy with a big flower on it. I haven't wore a hairband since my 2nd grade dance recital!!!...and trust me...that was a longggggggg time ago! But, when I was at the beach several weeks ago, I saw it on a table on the way out of the mall. I tried it on, put it back down, tried it on again and put it back down, and tried it on again. Then my sister came around the corner and saw it on me and busted out laughing, so I put it back down again!!! Then when we got to the car, I said I really liked that hairband. She said well go get it. So I did...even if she did laugh at me!! I love it! There's so much freedom, feeling like a kid again, even if it's just by wearing a hairband.

We went over there the night before and the only thing that I saw that I wanted was an old white chair that was sitting on the front porch. I couldn't go to the auction on Saturday, but sent Hubby and my son. I told him to bid on the chair. He called and said are you sure you want this thing...it's falling apart! I told him it wasn't to sit in, it was for looks! Well, when the time came to bid on the chair, they put everything that was on the front porch together. He got all of this for $15.00!! The table, "my" chair, two rocking chairs and they made him take the frog since it was on the front porch...LOL!!! I was so excited!!! I put the chairs on my front porch and the table out at the pool. But I brought the chair inside....that's it in my header. I love it!

I didn't even know what they were called, but I knew that I loved them. They were just "domes" to me!! Then when I started blogging I noticed everyone calling them cloches. I don't even know how to pronounce that...LOL!!!! I only have 2 and they are so fun to decorate for the seasons. The one with the starfish has my Grandpa's marbles, that he used to play with when he was young. They look like eggs but they aren't. These are so big, I don't know how they played marbles with them. Marty needs to host this every season. I get so many wonderful ideas from everyone else.Painter's Placehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16001088004168623596noreply@blogger.com36tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782872630044273936.post-79212609644114547182010-07-13T21:05:00.008-04:002010-07-13T21:51:31.756-04:00Outdoor Wednesday - 4th of July 2010I'm participating with Susan at <a href="http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com/">A Southern Daydreamer</a> for Outdoor Wednesday. Bear with me, 'cause this is a lot of pictures! Don't you just love it when people (especially ones you don't know) share their vacation pictures with you???? LOL!!! We always go to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina every year for the 4th of July. This year, we also went to see my aunt, uncle and cousins at Carolina Beach, North Carolina. While we were there, we took a ferry ride from Ft. Fisher over to Southport. We showed the kids where the road at our house ends...some 300 miles later. It goes right into the water. They couldn't believe it!! The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed the ride so much!! I was at the front of the boat trying to play Titanic, but it kinda looks like Hubby is trying to push me off instead of hold onto me!!!! We also ate at our favorite mexican restaurant, Abuelo's while we were at Myrtle....and of course, for dessert we had Krispy Kreme. We had a wonderful trip and took a lot of pictures. Thanks for taking time to look at them. Enjoy your day!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtsOT6ZfhFbFLMADW8JSC6DqO6TqMkPUi0bmGff_ZGV3ejnIJdPUMAlBenCB7KVvQt_63Fv10quV_czwoCEVXN0IB2SabyIhXPWROWCOjLXtctMZ94c0X-q43rOunJ-iUAkCi-HMewah6m/s1600/Myrtle+Beach+2010+-+2+181.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

The only problem is that it is kind of dark being in the hall and no outlet to plug in a lamp. How did I let that happen when we were building???? Anyway, I wanted to make it summery-beachy-look, so I put a mason jar of sand on it with one of those little electric tea-lites, so I do have some light...LOL! Then I put a picture of us at the beach last year with a shell that Hubby found there and a cloche with marbles and a star fish. Then the other day, I found this sign that says Barefeet Welcome. The picture didn't turn out that great due to the lighting, but you can at least get an idea of what I was going for.....Summer!

I don't know if everyone has a Kirkland's, but it's one of my favorite stores, especially when they are having a sale! Every so often they will put green stickers on items that are on sale and then an extra 25% off of them. Well, I only paid $6.00 for this arrangement!! I was so excited. I had to look at the price tag twice just to make sure. I really don't have that much white in my house, but I couldn't pass this up. It did brighten up my table though.

Yesterday on my way to church I saw this shutter laying in the road. I stopped to get it and Hubby thought I had absolutely lost my mind. Of course, he was the one who had to get out and get it. When he put it in the car, he said that it was broken (which gave it more character) and dirty (nothing that a water hose couldn't wash off). So I brought it home, cleaned it up and set it in a corner in the kitchen. I had this small chair with my bear, that my second grade boyfriend gave me, (yes, that means it's really old) and put a mason jar with some sand and an electric candle in it. I love finding free items laying in the road.....LOL!Painter's Placehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16001088004168623596noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782872630044273936.post-61868798534344782802010-06-27T22:24:00.002-04:002010-06-27T22:31:27.843-04:00Mantel Change<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHmiMUDMavVt3ZEM48gGLPPFcs4-X0mIf0d2IwCJCgJcNiOizl9EycDTsXp25If_i3zW1VZN4TSZmVUHZXUksNoy0C2G_YIi3T0dVPnrV7l3tZTrmih2IHsXNinKTIP7ly2ZratzEwD7kO/s1600/Mantle+Redo+006.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHmiMUDMavVt3ZEM48gGLPPFcs4-X0mIf0d2IwCJCgJcNiOizl9EycDTsXp25If_i3zW1VZN4TSZmVUHZXUksNoy0C2G_YIi3T0dVPnrV7l3tZTrmih2IHsXNinKTIP7ly2ZratzEwD7kO/s320/Mantle+Redo+006.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487646471749398482" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAalLu4xaXUqH_Hwn8hkHvIrHgS1q0mh0eysEgGr3lTftlTPr0Uhx8z_Kix4GwUjVZovzAD9U5Tfkgc_2qA4glBu6gifNwJCt-OJRH7J_6LjOZftWLXTy7TYjADGUkIdzCMcLyQ8wdKcjW/s1600/Mantle+Redo+012.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAalLu4xaXUqH_Hwn8hkHvIrHgS1q0mh0eysEgGr3lTftlTPr0Uhx8z_Kix4GwUjVZovzAD9U5Tfkgc_2qA4glBu6gifNwJCt-OJRH7J_6LjOZftWLXTy7TYjADGUkIdzCMcLyQ8wdKcjW/s320/Mantle+Redo+012.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487646467387139202" border="0" /></a><br />I decided to change my mantel again! This time I have been decorating for the 4th of July. I love the big flag. It's actually a canvas so it's very light-weight. Hubby was glad to see the other picture go, because he thought it was too big for the area anyway. I told him I felt sure that it was going back up there after the 4th, so not to put it in the basement where he couldn't get to it again!!

Afterall, pink is my favorite color. I have pink dresses, pink shoes, pink jewelry, and pink nail polish, but when I started looking around my house....I have no pink in my decorating motifs! Then I remembered this frame that I recently purchased at Home Goods. Did I mention I LOVE that store? It says "The Girls" on it. I saw it and just had to have it, but my first thought was where am I gonna put it! I brought it home and put a picture of me, my sister and my mom in it and it has been several places in the house. But I just loved it for the color and for what it said. I think I need to incorporate more pink in my house....the guys would love that!!!!Painter's Placehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16001088004168623596noreply@blogger.com0
