Being grateful is usually easy for me but I'm struggling with it now... - Show and Tell Friday

 

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!  I love this time of year but yesterday it felt like my world came crashing down with one email I received when I got home from work!

 



 

After living in my little apartment for almost 11 years I got a message from the property manager that I have to move out by January 31st!  Shock doesn't even begin to describe the feeling that came over me. I burst

Vintage and Vogue - Show and Tell Friday

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!



My daughter told me last night that Vintage and Vogue has all their Christmas decor up and she wanted us to go look around.  I worked from home today so we went there on my lunch hour.  I took a lot of photos but I decided to just share their Autumn decor because I haven't had time this afternoon to go through all the Christmas photos!

Cozy Autumn Evenings - Show and Tell Friday

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!








I was out on my patio and looked in at my apartment and thought I would snap some photos. These are taken from outside my patio sliding door on Tuesday evening.  The days are still warm here but the evenings are getting much cooler. I love Autumn!

Autumn Table - Show and Tell Friday!

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!  This week I'm resharing an Autumn table I did back in 2010.  Here it is mid October and I still have shells and summering things on my table!

Coco Chanel - Show and Tell Friday!

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!  I want to introduce you to my daughter's new dog! Her name is Coco Chanel but we call her Coco for short. 






Her mama is a Maltese and her daddy is a Shih Tzu which makes her a Malshi.  She looks like a little stuffed animal!  It took Beau a couple days to warm up to her but now they are best buddies!
