A Little Of This & A Little Of That........

Ya know how yesterday I told you that I love the sound of trickling water, well I have a small fountain inside the house too. My friend Bonnie, who owns the store Outside In, actually made this little cutie. Her shop is downstairs from mine and its filled to the brim with unique goodies like this. I just got my order from http://www.coastline.etsy.com/ (which is one of my new favorite etsy stores)the other day, and don't you just love the little burlap coasters? I had them made with numbers 1-4. The black and white photo in the corner is of my grandma and grandpa when they were young. I have always LOVED this photo!






This burlap basket is also from Coastline. I am in love with burlap at the moment.


I totally stole this idea from Rebekah at http://www.littlebyrdvintage.blogspot.com/ . I found this mailbox for only $3 at the flea market a couple weeks ago and hung it in the entryway. I think it is such a clever idea, thanks Rebekah!







I hope you have a great day, and if you can get out and enjoy it! The long holiday weekend is coming!!!!

Uh oh, I'm feeling a need to copy those coasters! They would look great on our back porch. nudge. nudge. wink. wink. And I like the 'love morning spring air' sentence with the little golden bird. I have those magnets, too. From The Nest? It was a long time ago and I promise to never ever go again.
Love your little post & have a good weekend. :)
