So....does this have you dreaming of a beautiful outdoor space in which to entertain? It sure has me thinking about how I would love to furnish all our outdoor spaces and is reminding me of how much work there is to be done and of course how you need buckets of money and a money tree to make it happen.   But with outdoor spaces being bigger than ever, and in most places in our country, seeing you  can use them at least 60% of the year...I say go for it! I love being in the outdoors and eating al fresco is my absolute favorite way to dine. So....you know its now your turn to choose your favorite! Enjoy your day and thanks fro stopping in!

PS So many of you asked that I feel obligated to 'fess up" on  my amazing florettes for my bathroom mirror. I was looking high and lo for a pretty delicate crystal (Venetian glass) or "lacey" looking silver rosette. Shockingly they were very hard to find, closest i found was something on the west coast that is custom made and he wanted to charge me 39.00 per rosette, which I would have even considered given my desperation but I didn't want to wait 6 weeks! So....I started brainstorming and when I brainstorm, miracles can happen (on rare occasions) I marched into Michaels...yes, that Michaels as in arts and crafts home of the cheesy plastic flower arrangements and every color and pattern paper known to mankind.. Went over to the novelty/arts and crafts section, furiously scanned every row for a possibility and lo and behold there it was......3 of them get this 3.99!!!!!!!!!! I kid you not, I bought what they had came home and tacked them up. The rest as they say is history....waiting for a few more packages to come in the mail, grabbing my hot glue gun and I promise you will be impressed. Amazing what a little imagination, a little desperation to finish something and an open mind can do.....don't you think?

The bottom left was not the right color, just trying a different shape but preferred the right one

So there now you know my secret! But too good to not share, plus its a great example of "high and low". So...wishing you a fabulous day and a super weekend!! Thanks for stopping in.
