Camp in MN

I meant to take a million pictures while we were in MN but had so much fun I hardly took any. Obviously my kids had nearly as much fun as I did. Thank you to all of you who made such an effort to make our week enjoyable. Highlights of my week were spending time with each of you and seeing my kids enjoy yours so much!




My Flower Child


Zofia's Room

Zofia's room is really tiny so it was not hard to do something like this in here. I even painted the ceiling- a first for me. I know I need a lamp shade, but otherwise I do like how it turned out. I used the left over paint from the girl's room in MN so it cost me nothing. The rug and wicker toy chest are yard sale/thrift store finds. Just one more reason to go shopping!

Yard sale finds

I found these old lanterns and the kitchen scale at a yardsale this weekend. I like the "vintage" feel of them. I wish I had the big shelf I had in my last dinning room but this is working okay. I love the tin N and B. It is exactly what I am looking for in here!



Kids in PA

We have had some beautiful weather here and I am really enjoying all the PA foliage. Isn't this tree beautiful! The kids went outside today to enjoy the "snow" from all the falling flower petals. Breanna likes to read in this tree. I have had so much fresh stuff from my yard to cut and bring inside. And thanks for the dresses BW!

The girl's room

Here's what I have done so far in the girl's room. It looks pretty good now. We framed some pictures that they drew. I like how that looks. I would like to find some vintage things in these colors to add some "age" and atmosphere. I still feel like it is a lot of green. What about stripes on the top half? Or maybe polka dots?

Curly hair is back

For those of you who think I straighten my hair every day, I really don't. Maybe if I lived by BethW. I had my hair highlighted last week and was not sure if it was even noticeable. It is really hard to tell in pictures, anyhow. I really miss having all of my fashionable friends telling me what to do. And how am I to stay updated without my personal hairstylist, fashion consultant and masseuse - MeganS!
