First Sunflowers, Tuesday Treasures, My Quiet Spot and Wednesday Afternoon Movie with Ilene......

I was so excited to see my first sunflower here at home on Monday morning!


This one in the kitchen deck herb garden...


...and the second one is in the flower bed by the front porch.

Tuesday Treasures......


Brand new candle.....


Really large candle for just $5!


Brenda found these brand new honey hive salt and pepper shakers.


I'm a sucker for a good purse!
Even though I have never found the perfect one!


I bought these potted sunflowers and hope to fill my veggie stand with more sunflowers - as I find them.


Brenda gave me this Michael Kors dress!


A Travelers top!


I plan to use the two placemats on the kitchen table soon.


Love this!


I put this placemat in a white wooden tray and put it in my Quiet Corner.


The canvas is made of some kind of plastic so it's weatherproof.


absolutley!






I have had so much fun fluffing up this quiet corner and have been spending at least an hour or two out here every day!


It is my Happy Place!


This morning I made us a breakfast dish with a tortilla base.
Actually, it was more like 12:30 this afternoon so it was a lunch!


Ilene came down for popcorn, tea and a movie!





It's fun to have someone to watch a movie with!
Louis Dean says, "If John Wayne or Mareen O'Hara's not in it - then I'm not interested!"

Next week's movie will be Shall We Dance? with Richard Gere and Susan Sarandon!
That's such a good movie!

Once in a while I'm your first comment. Love you quiet spot. How wonderful to have your own private space. Will be leaving tomorrow morning to spend a few days with Jill and Tristan and the San Diego Zoo to celebrate his 12th Birthday. Sending hugs!

I love your cozy little quiet place! Looks like a peaceful nook to sit and read and relax for a spell, away from the noise and crowd! You found a lot of cute things shopping with Brenda, and I LOVE your sunflowers! The movie time with your friend Ilene sounds like so much fun too! Glad you had popcorn!! I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week!!! Stay cool!

Once again you've found some wonderful treasures. I love the canvas with the owl on it. Your happy place looks very inviting. I can see why you enjoy spending time there.

so nice having your cozy spot...it is very neat. I love sunflowers. We have a nursery in town with a small field next to it. One year a local man was complaining about he field not being mowed...what he didn't understand it that through the grass the sunflowers grow and completely cover that section of land. It is beautiful and many people drop in to take photos. This piece of land actually adds a touch of beauty to the town during the months of July and August.

Oh, I liked both those movies very much; Under the Tuscan Sun I think I have seen at least three times, I liked it that much. And I noticed it is showing up on my YouTube again so I might even watch it again this weekend. Love your finds, especially that owl canvas !!!!! Have a great rest of your week. Dawn P. Albany, GA

A nice group of finds, as always, Linda. The movie you watched is one of our favorites and I also enjoyed the Richard Gere one which incidentally was based off another movie with the same theme.
