This was a seashell and stars display. I like the fake boxwood wreath.
Yesterday was very quiet once Savannah's mother and her aunts came and went. Savannah was happy to be going home to her birds. dogs, and rabbits. Her rabbits had 8 bunnies while she was gone. LOL. She a quiet girl. I told her to relax and enjoy her life, it was okay to talk. :):) Her father once said , the most he has ever heard her talk was with me...well that was when she was small. I know she has a blast with her friends and talks up a blue streak.
It is cool here today, just in the 50's at this time. Not to get over mid 70's. We turned our AC off. Oh happy day on that. I want to enjoy no heat running and no AC. :):) Wishing you a great day. XO
Hortons looks like a great place! We need one of those. Lucky you to find green canning jars. I've never ever seen green ones and they're gorgeous! I love green. Now I've got to see if I can find them too.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why I didn't get those jars. I do love the color. Hope you can find, as this is the first I have ever seen. I think Patty of Patty's Pretty Things , gave some to her daughter to use on her porch as lighting. xoxo,Susie
DeleteSeashells and stars...oh my! How gorgeous! I have a post up you'll like today...I hope! http://lavenderdreamstoo.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteSweet hugs, Diane
You have made my day !!! I can't wait for Emma to see your blog today. I think she will be happy. :):) You know every time I see shells I think of you. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteLove those jars. It is cool here, too. Very fall like weather. I have a feeling September will be our hot month. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteLaura, I do remember having indian summer in late Sept or even Oct. It's much cooler here and I love it for me...but I know young kids want to swim while the pool is open. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteSusie,
ReplyDeleteI love those green canning jars. I've never seen them that color either. It sounds like Savannah can talk with you easily. Sometimes all it takes is one person to open up to. You are so special, Susie, and I can see why she loves you so.
~Sheri
Sheri, I have got to get me some of those jars. LOL. I have the aqua colored ones. I have told Savannah she can call me or tell her mom she wants to talk with me. I think I'll start writing letters to her. Just to keep her encouraged. xoxo,Susie
DeleteSusie, I wanted to tell you, Yes, those mermaids were painted on glass. It reminded me of the girls, so I took a picture of it. But you can see the reflection of things in the background because it was glass haha.
ReplyDelete~Sheri
Sheri, I did see reflections. I like when I see things that remind me of my girls. Once my husband said , after seeing a bunch of pumpkins with faces painted on them hey look girls there you are. Oh they just booed and hissed him.so much after that. xoxo,Susie,
DeleteI didn't know they had a garden center at Horton's. All the more reason to go. I asked a few natives at the lake if they knew where Tipton is...we're in Michiana so we know northwestern Indiana pretty well. No one knew!
ReplyDeleteSavannah sounds like a great little girl. And yes, they talk to their friends much more than we think! :)
Jane xx
Blondie, Tipton is fifty miles north of Indianapolis. Horton's has a very nice green house.
DeleteSavannah is a good little girl. I tell her to not let any one talk you into any thing that would make her mom and dad sad.LOL. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
I love this place I have never known, Horton's. I still don't know what it is. Is it a flea market or a chain store? Either way, it is awesome!
ReplyDeleteHorton's is a locally owned hardware store with a green house and some flea market things also. They sell garden plants , starts, hardware, paint and custom blinds. 3-4 times a year they have French Flea Market, with many venders from all over. They will be having another market in the fall and one at Christmas. Too hard to resist some of the Christmas things. :):) xoxo,Susie
DeleteYour weather sounds delightful. Thanks for sharing the photos from Horton's. When does school begin for Savannah?
ReplyDeleteI think Savannah goes to school the 3rd week of August. Some schools in Indianapolis started today ! You know we would be crying the blues if we went back before Labor day. LOL. xoxo,Susie
DeleteSuch a beautiful place to shop, I could spend hours there.
ReplyDeleteI love the boxwood wreath, it looks so real. I think the Ball jars are being manufactured in special colors lately , in celebration of so many year being in business ?
Your weather sounds as pleasant as ours has been today...just glorious.
~Jo
Jo, It was nice and pleasant all day today...then this evening we had a down pour...of course our lawns needed it. Hope you are enjoying this weather too. xoxo,Susie
DeleteActually all I can think about is getting back to Martha's Vineyard in Sept. That was tipped off by your mentioning the pleasant weather. After yesterdays tornado, about six miles away, I can't wait to get away.
ReplyDeleteI have to stay away from places like Hortons.
Boston Boy, My gosh, I thought of you this morning as I heard about a tornado close to Boston. Wow that was very close. Hope everyone is okay there. I would love another trip to Martha's vineyard myself. I really liked the place that you and Arlene stayed at. Maybe you could squeeze in another short trip before all the sweet weather's gone. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteI've never seen green ball jars either! but they are cute, aren't they! Did you buy one, Susie? Isn't funny how kids change as they grow? I hate that summer is going by so fast. We have kids coming up this weekend. So I'll keep hanging on to the season as tight as I can!
ReplyDeleteHugs to you dear friend.
Love ya.
Debbie
xo
Debbie, So glad to hear from you. Some schools started today in Indianapolis.... That's way too soon. LOL. I have been missing Emma and Savannah today. They are growing up so fast my head is spinning. Enjoy your kids this weekend and hug them to pieces. Blessings dear friend, xoxo,Susie
Deletehey mom it is Amish Acres arts and crafts weekend! Wish you were going with me.
ReplyDeleteI do too Kathy. I was just thinking about the last time you and I went. How we saw the turkeys and ducks. That big pile of metal trash. Show what you buy. Love you, Mommy
DeleteHorton's just continues to do a great job! I'm not certain, but I think those green Ball jars are a "new creation.":-) I'm glad Savannah had a good time visiting. xo Nellie
ReplyDeleteNellie, You are right about the green ball jars . Debby at Cozy Blanket says they have them at Target.:):) I am going to look for some. I will be sending Savannah a nice card before her school starts, the 3rd week of August. I want my grandkids to know they are like all kids, special to their grandparents. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteThose green jars area New. Remember when they came out with the blue ones a couple years ago. These just came out this. Never fear, Target has them. You are such a caring Grammy.
ReplyDeleteHi Debby, I just told Nellie that you said those jars are a special Edison and are at Target. I like that color , they could be worked into a country Christmas décor. Hope you are feeling good and getting some offers on the house. xoxo,Susie
DeleteSusie, Beautiful wreaths!! I know you will miss Savanna, and I'm sure she had a good time, especially with all those crafts!
ReplyDeleteBlessings and enjoy your cool weather, we are still having it.
Gert
Gert, I really missed the girls last night. I told Ted, "we have no children, now." He laughs at me. There have been times where I felt like pulling my hair out when Emma first spent lots of time here...then I would cry when she was gone. That is why we have children early in life, not in our old age. LOL. xoxo,Susie
