Yesterday, was rainy and dark and a good day to get out my paternal grandmothers silver....(we have our oldest Texas granddaughter with us) Some of the pieces had been out and had turned dark and she remembered something she had seen somewhere....toothpaste removes tarnish quickly and beautifully....so, she went to work. Needless to say, we have to make a run to the store today for lots of toothpaste as I have a few, large pieces of silver that need a good polishing, too! Bless her heart! She is looking for projects and I am afraid she might be getting bored with her much older than 20 grandparents!

While she was scrubbing away, at the kitchen sink, I added some pretty vintage linens to my open kitchen cupboards and am so satisfied with the "look".


I am not getting much done, but that is OK, as I will probably never have our Jacque here like this again. She is taking a break from college this semester, she is a junior, and she just learned she passed the exam to enter Federal Law Enforcement. We are so grateful she wanted to come and "hang out" with us for a bit. She is wonderful company as she is so smart and so interested in everything and we all have fascinating conversations!

Wishing you all a happy day!

A Fall Walk Across The River

Fall is here and it is a great time to get out for walks and little excursions.....a favorite place of ours is the Swinging Bridge across the Black River about half an hour North of Port Huron.....This pretty, lazy river winds behind Croswell, a sweet small town with beautiful older homes. The area surrounding the bridge is kept so pretty, so picturesque, and once across the river you are in a well kept park. Having a good swing is a must while over there.....




We have our oldest Texas granddaughter visiting with us and that made the day even more delightful.....




Here and there we found a red or golden Maple leaf, but the trees haven't started turning yet.....I imagine they will in a couple of weeks. The day was so perfect and we stopped in Lexington on our way back to prowl the shops and have a hamburger the little town is known for...Wimpy's....it was delicious and the perfect end to the perfect day!

Hope you all are having a wonderful week!

This is such a pretty fall day! And, yes, it is definitely fall. A tree here and there is beginning to turn and the air has a coolness that says "Fall." So with thoughts turning to cooler weather and all that comes with fall, I made this cute little pillow/door or shelf charmer...


This little gal is so cute! I put her with colors of wine and maroon that work with our pinks....it is not an easy task introducing some fall among all our pretty pink shabbiness...
