Travels in Maine...

Hi folks! Its been WAY too long since I posted, probably the longest I've ever NOT posted.  Life...lots going on and I'm gearing up for another big move, so I have things going on right now that don't allow me to spend too much time on the computer.  If I do, its a quick check of facebook, twitter and other social media.

 Lately, its been difficult to have the drive or inspiration to post - do you feel this? I know a lot of you do, and its hard. I have been blogging a long time now and still love it, but, will be reassessing my goals, future and what I want to achieve in the next two months. I feel like the change from summer to fall is a good time to look inward.  What are your plans and goals? I don't do enough of this, so its time to start!!

Have a great rest of the Labor Day weekend and I will see you sooner rather than later!! xoxo

Maine is such a beautiful state - one day you can be 4,000 feet above
sea level and the next day, back at sea level on the coast - no
shortage of beauty here -

Have a great day!! xoxo

Happy summer...scenes from July.....


I have to apologize for my absence...I have been so busy and don't seem to have the time I used to for my blog.  What have you been up to?  It is very hot here in Maine, so staying inside has been a good idea.  I have posted pics of some things I have done this month.  I don't usually post too much personal stuff, but, a change of pace is always good right?  I looked after a friend's cat for a week which was fun, went to a lake here in Maine for July 4th and was THRILLED that Andy Murray won Wimbledon! I am a big tennis fan and have gone to Wimbledon and a couple of other smaller tournaments when I lived in England.  I have been exploring Maine and spent last Saturday visiting an island and Sunday at the beach.  I hope you are enjoying the summer, staying cool and having fun even if you have to work! 




Fluff, my little charge for a week in late June...

Sunday around the cottage...

Happy Sunday! Its been a beautiful weekend here in New England and the sun is shining again so I will be going for a walk soon.  Nothing earth-shaking here, I just want to share my little purchase yesterday and what I had for breakfast today. Since the mornings are cooler, I thought I would buy myself some electrical heat to save money on propane and this little beauty was less than $70.00, so its a bargain, looks great and really works. See for yourself -

YUM!!! Pancakes were delicious!

Another classic...

This chair will never go out of style...the Adirondack...a symbol of lakeside lounging and summer. I love the more colorful chairs do you?

They look great beachside too...

Oh deer!...

On my lunch break today I was browsing through fabrics in a local store and found this Lee Jofa "Antler" fabric marked down to $6 for 9 yards...whoa...I couldn't believe it.   I found myself drawn to it and will go back to buy it. I was thinking it would look great on the sofa at my family's lake house...and it goes along with my obsession for wanting antlers - I have been looking high and low for something I might like and found tonight on sfgirlbybay's blog (go here.) Victoria is featured in Pure Green magazine, a new online green living magazine and the antlers (pictured below) are one of her holiday picks.



Antlers available here - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!


Letterpress etched coaster available here as well...

Do you like antlers and the deer motif? or any animal motifs? Do you have antlers hanging in your home? If you are looking for some great ideas for Christmas or Hanukkah, check out Haus Interior - they have great stuff! Hope you all have a great Friday!!

Before and after...lake view...

I thought it was fun to see the difference between these two photos. My view over the weekend...the morning was bright, sunny and clear...

I loved the light across the lake as the sun set after 6pm...it had a golden quality and the sky was different colors too...so pretty...which one do you prefer? the morning view with some tea or coffee or the evening view with a nice glass of wine?
