Always getting new things and rearranging what we have, so we can't help but keep sharing...
Show & Tell Friday
Hello everyone,
We are having some lovely weather here again lately so we were able to enjoy a walk on the beach today-it was a great way to end the month of September!
Today,I am joining Show & Tell Friday so I am sharing a little mix of green and white toile.
This is a small bedroom upstairs that over the years went from a toddlers room to a teenagers but is now a guest room.
A pretty little jug- a gift from a friend.
I love this mug.
Thank you Cindy for hosting Show and Tell Friday at My Romantic Home each week.
I am also joining Debra at Common Ground for Vintage Inspiration Friday. This is a new party for me but it looks very inspirational!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Megan Mullally's earthy eclectic home
I was surprised when I saw Megan Mullally's house tour in a recent issue of Elle Decor. I guess because I only know her as Karen on Will and Grace, I didn't think her personal style would be so laid back because she's so good at playing a rich NYC elitist.
What do you think?
so spa like
Possibly one of my favorite kitchens. It's so real for a Hollywood star isn't it?
Go to Elle Decor to see all the pics.

Rock Paper Scissors
The title of this post is:
Rock ~ Paper ~ Scissors
You will see why in a minute.
Here are two pictures of my front landscaping. We have been working on it this summer. You saw me dig up sod and spread over 70 bags of mulch this summer.
It is looking really good! It will fill in more next year.
Have you noticed that I have not shown many pictures of my backyard or back porch? Well, it is not the prettiest of places.
Sure the Potager looks good....but not much else. Here are some pictures of the way the back yard and back porch look right now.
See the stack of furniture on the left of the back porch? That is my outdoor dining table and chairs. It is too big for the porch.
So here is where the ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS comes in.
ROCK
This is the rock we have picked out to become a outdoor dining patio. It is going to go in our back yard between the two pine trees you see below.
In the picture above, you can see a group of chairs...somewhere near there will be a fire pit and gravel seating area. This is where the PAPER comes in.
PAPER
This is a rough drawing (courtesy of Mr. Comforts of Home) of how the backyard will look.
And now for the SCISSORS part of this post.
SCISSORS
I am going to have to use scissors to trim the herbs and marigolds, so that when they lay gravel between the beds, the plants don't get hurt.
This is all taking place next Monday or Tuesday. And we have been assured that the work will be done before my BLOGGER BRUNCH that is taking place on October 16th.
By the way...we now have 15 bloggers coming to the brunch....anyone else out there want to come? Email me!
Welcome Home,

Black and White Toile Tablescape
Hello everyone!
I am glad you came to visit as I have a lunch all ready for you .Since it is a warm sunny afternoon I have set a table for you in our little garden cottage. The doors are open so we can enjoy the garden from here.
I hope you like toile!
A little bouquet of phlox and roses looks romantic on the table.
I know many of you have seen this teapot from Winner's before but isn't it pretty? There is no marking on the bottom but I am pretty sure the box said made in England.
The chargers came from the Christmas Tree shop.
I hope I am not boring you with all these photos but you probably know by now I love to take pictures.
I closed the doors as a breeze picked up. These chairs were a thrift find that I painted and covered the seats with toile. I made the tablecloth with toile fabric from Walmart.
Today I am joining Susan again for the ever popular Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch.
Thank you for visiting
&
Enjoy your day!
Carolyn
