Summer Joys


Well, sweet friends, it seems that somehow my
computer caught a nasty bug, and won't be
restored to health until later in the week!

Sooo...I am on my daughter's Mac and
sharing some things from Country
 Living that make my heart sing!  Simple joys that
anyone can make and add to their home.  They
have tutorials for them all!

ENJOY!

Glass Bottle Vase Grouping

Vintage Hankies Table Runner
This could be done with vintage doilies or
dresser scarfs, too!

Picture Frame Terrarium
I LOVE this and WILL make one...
eventually!

Painted Stripes Tablecloth
So easy peasy!

A lovely wreath made from fresh berries and vines
Sure would love to get my hands on some
fresh berries and do this one!


Hope your week is full of life's little joys!
Blessings,
Becky

  1. What lovely things to make especially for summer. I'd like to get those berries too, although I may eat them before they would get to be a decoration.

  3. The red striped tablecloth reminds me of a retro one I have, only it is aqua and gray stripe :-)

    Sorry your computer isn't feeling up to par, although I hope you are!

  5. Hi, Becky... I hope that all is well aside from the computer. We had quite a storm here today (am in St. A), and it is lovely out now. I love the light after a storm, with everything looking dewy.

    Pretty images from CL!

    XO,

  9. UGH, about the computer bug!

    I love these things, especially that picture frame one. Like you, I really want to do that one. I have some old simple frames on my "list", in fact!

  10. Hi Becky!
    What lovely photos! They represent the essence of summer. I am especially drawn to the cluster of bottles with the wildflowers. I don't know about you, but I find it difficult to find wildflowers that are accessible for picking around here. That's one thing I do miss (and just about the only thing!) from my home in PA. We had wild daisies, and Queen Anne's Lace growing wild in the backyard. There was always enough to fill a vase.
