Hometown Girl

Odds & Ends.

Hello! It's been far too long since I posted. I hope you are well. Our lives are more hectic than ever and I've been trying to get things done around the house, forgive my absence.

I found these fun, kind of zebra chevron rugs at Target a couple weeks ago. I thought they would be a nice change in the kitchen. They match the granite counters really well and they add a fun touch.

 

 

 

My Peonies are blooming. They make me so happy. I have so many more blooms this year. I think they've finally taken root. It's such a sweet reminder of my grandparents. 

 

 

Remember the barn wood I ordered? Well I am making some hand painted signs. Here is the first ones I made for the back of the bride & groom's chair. Now available in the shop.

 

Have a wonderful weekend and hopefully I can get back on track soon! Thank you for coming by.

Barn Wood.

I love old barns. I love the wood, it's so beautiful. I found a site on-line that sells it. I ordered a dozen pieces (they are cutting them for me) in a beautiful weathered gray color (far left) to use to make signs. It should arrive soon, I'm so excited to try something new.  

Sorry I've been absent of late. I've been busy with the family and needed a little blog break.

Hope all is well with you!

Happy Mother's Day.

Wishing you all a beautiful day with your families! See you soon. Susan

I Love a Thrifty Find!

I spent a fun morning yesterday with my friend Mary, hi Mar! We hit four maybe five thrift shops and had a blast. She took me all around (I had no idea where I was). It was a little adventure and I found some great pieces.

Lost of Ironstone, mostly Buffalo China, sweet little glasses, a big box of old Ball & Atlas jars that we split, a vintage bowl, mugs, platters, Meakin tea cup saucers, they are adorable! Some things will be going in my shop and some added to my collection.

Here's a peek. I was going to style everything pretty but it's gorgeous out today and I've been busy setting up our porches! So much to do!

Don't' forget to enter my little Spring giveaway, lots of fun goodies!

Have a beautiful weekend!

See you soon,

Menu Monday.

Hello! I hope you all had a nice weekend. In case you missed my weekend posts I did a IPad cover how to and posted my Spring giveaway. You can enter here.

 Here is my plan for the week.

Buffalo Turkey Burgers (the recipe calls for chicken but I bought turkey). I got Costanzo Dinner Rolls not the biscuit like they suggest. You know me I can't follow a recipe!

Spinach Artichoke Grilled Cheese

Fruit Salsa w/ Cinnamon Chips (snack) My plan is to use apples.

Ravioli w/ Cream Sauce & Tomatoes (I bought Tortellini instead).

PF Chang Knockoff Lettuce Wraps

All these recipes can be found on my Food & Recipes Board on Pinterest.

See you soon!
