FAMILY AND FRIENDS SUMMER PARTY INCLUDING FAMILY VACATION

We just had our 3rd annual Family and Friends summer party along with family vacation time leading up to the party.
Our Figgy and Lil O, Cindy and Carl came for the week leading up to the party.
Other family members came on Thursday, while others arrived on Friday, then the rest of the family and friends came on Saturday.
All week we played toys and balloons, swam in the lake, fished, rode in the boats, camped out in the back yard in tents, ate great food, celebrated Uncle Carl's 70th birthday and much, much more.



We enjoyed beautiful sunsets every night, played bubbles on the beach, ate more food and much, much more...



This year the theme for the party was TIKI.  Mr. Nook built the bar and we decorated it in great TIKI style.
Fun was had by all and we sure did hate for our time together to end.
Do you have a family and friends summer party every year?  You should consider it if you don't.
Thanks for stopping by.

VINTAGE SHABBY FLOWERS COMPLETED


I started making these vintage shabby flowers awhile back, you can see that post here
Well, I have finished up several of them and thought I would share them with you.
I was inspired by Jennings644 on  Youtube on making these.
These flowers are very simple to make, if you have some vintage trims and other fibers you can create these yourself.






Simply fun and relaxing, not to mention I have a vintage shabby flower to use in my projects all set and ready to go, I LOve that!!
Thanks for stopping by.

BAGS AND TOTES ON MY PINTEREST BOARD


Do you admire a great bag or tote?
I really do love a vintage bag or tote or a really unique one.
I do not have much of a collection of these anymore, not a lot of room for these types of things.
I have a Bag and Tote Pinterest board I would like to share

Thanks for stopping by.
