Hospitality Monday

Hi All,
I am linking up with the Southern Fried Gal and Hospitality Monday over at Southern Fried Dreams. Please go over and check out this neat party. It is all about what guests first see as they approach or enter your home. Front doors, entryways, etc...

Today is my 9th Wedding Anniversary!

Good Morning All,
9 years ago we loaded up the kids and flew off to Hawaii. We had a wedding, honeymoon and family vacation, all in one! What a wonderful time we had. This is a photo from dinner in St. Louis from our anniversary last year.
Hope you all have a great day!

My Galley Kitchen


Good Morning All,

Thought I show off alittle of my cottage kitchen at the Inn. This is operation central for me. I am linking up and reposting with Chari over at Happy to Design and Sunday Favorites. This space was falling down walls and ceilings, broken concrete floors and used for storage when we bought the property.

No blueprints for my contractor and me, we layed down 2x4's to divide rooms and just visually designed my little galley kitchen. All cabinets are hand made in his shop, along with the countertops and bar area. The second picture is a view from the living room and my attempt at duplicating those great old shutters that divided Laura Petry's kitchen from her living room, on the old Dick Van Dyke Show. :)








Pink Saturday

Good Morning All,
I missed pink Saturday again, but will try repost this next time. One of my favorite spots in the master bath at the Inn. I love my french olive oil soap!
The flower arrangement about the jetted tub...

Some Great Magazines...

Good Evening All,
Picked up some really neat magazines in Florida and I love the many decorating ideas inside. The colors are much prettier in the magazine...
A pretty little outdoor room...


I love this kitchen...

And this one...




Just a peek inside with all these lovely photos.



Garden Tour #4

Hi All,
I have spent all day over at the Cape house working on the yard. Some thing are starting to bloom that were not blooming when we left for vacation. 10 days away and weed city. Where do they all come from??? The clematis...
Tiger lilys are starting to bloom...

A friend gave this to me 2 yrs ago, but not sure what it is?


Some potted herbs and flowers...





Around the patio...




The back flower bed...




The old fashioned knock-out roses...






A view of the patio. Can't wait to get all my goodies over there when we move...

Alphabet Thursday

Good Morning All,
I am linking up with Jenny over at Alphabet Thursday. The letter is "T" so the first thing that came to mind is my maiden name, Titus. Yes, this is me circa 1973, which would make me 16 going on 17 that summer. Check out those cool shades :)
