Show and Tell Friday!


Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!  Wow, time is flying!  I've been trying to find time to get these photos from the Goat Hill Fair up for awhile now!  It's been almost 2 weeks since I took these! 

As you can see, there where lots of beautiful things there! I would have loved to spend more time looking around but it was hot and I was wearing a black top polyester type top...pair that with hot

Show and Tell Friday!



I've shared my heart-shaped rock collection here before but I recently found some new ones so thought I would share those today!  I found all these on my Saturday morning hikes.  For those that don't know, I hike about 10 miles every Saturday morning.  The morning I found the two above I also found a huge one...about the size of a dinner plate!  I actually thought about throwing it in my

Goat Hill Fair Part 1

 
Last Sunday, my guy and I went to the Goat Hill Fair! It was amazing, there were so many beautiful things there!  I took a lot of photos but I haven't had a chance to go through them yet. I thought I could at least share one of my favorite things there...THIS BIRDCAGE!  It was amazing! It was way out of my budget though.  It was from a shop in San Jose, California called "Not Too Shabby".

Show and Tell Friday!

 This week I'm pulling something out from an old post to share again.  This was a fruit tart that I made awhile back. It was really good!
 
It's a Paula Deen recipe and it can be found here.

Show and Tell Friday!

 
Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!  
The other night I was looking at the large silver tray I have on my coffee table...it's loaded with shells and candles. I tried to remember the last time I even lit those candles...it's been way too long.   Now that it's September and I know that the cooler weather is right around the corner (although it really doesn't start to cool down here until the end of

Happy Show and Tell Friday! Can you believe it's September already????  Where has this year gone? In just a blink it will be time for the holidays!  My mom was right when she told me that the older you get the faster your life goes by! I get it now! Whew!
So for this week I'm sharing just a very small portion of some of my linen and lace...or should I say "my addiction". I'm actually
