get any good purses lately?

That is what I am asked quite often...I have been called the queen of purses...my friends envy me...for some reason when I am out junking they gravitate towards me...I can get skunked at a dozen sales, not a antique in sight but I always find a purse! not just any purse, specifically Kate Spade purses...the one pictured here is a knock off. But I have gotten so many compliments on it this summer I hate to retire it...it is getting dirty. Oh well,I figure if I can't find antiques at least my day was made by finding a cute purse..

Addison's first jeep ride!

Addison had her first Barbie Jeep ride yesterday....her big sister Karissa was happy to take her on her first ride(but got a little tired of her passenger after awhile)...Addison loves it! I would of loved to have one of this when I was little...

Ahhhhhhhhhhh August

August. It gently crept up on me...the grass is looking tired. the gardens too. and then I walk out my back door and find this! a beautiful big red Hibiscus flower! they are as big as dinner plates! beautiful...I love the little surprises that each new month brings.

If you are ever looking for a cascading plant that is easy to grow in any light...get POTATO VINE.. it is so easy and look how crazy mine is growing in my urns and boxes! love this stuff.
