Just be there....

It's been a very busy week here...four Lacrosse games made it even busier...

Your number one responsibilty as a parent I think.....

just be there.

did you know that

God knew mothers couldn't be everywhere...



so he created guilt.
(I'll pass thankyou!)



I made it to 3 of the 4 games...



Camera in hand, ready to capture the good and the bad moments...
cheering on players and sometimes 'cheering up' players!
(smile honey...it will get better, I promise!)



wishing everyone a 'be there' kinda weekend!

ps...still time to get in on my giveaway on the post below!

Le Jardin de Lavande

It's one of my absolute favorite perennials....

a garden full of it would be dreamy wouldn't it?

Oui! Oui!

so I created a sign to get you started!

'the garden of lavender'

& I'm delighted to tell you...

it's my new giveaway!

It's my

'avec amour, chers amis!'

'with love, dear friends' giveaway!

{of course this sign is from a Provence garden of lavender}

It measures 24"x12" and naturally is all
cracked and chippy, a little faded and just oozing with vintage charm!

This giveaway is open to inside the US & Canada and will end

One fine day....

at the flea market!

For quite some time now I've been looking and looking for garden lounge chairs...

{something we just start doing more of in our late 40's I believe, lounging!}

...never could I find one that I really liked...

always too prefab or too heavy or too cheap or too walmarty or too something...

well look what I tripped over today at the flea market!!!!

wooooohooooo!!!

{actually...it was my darling husband who found them...

did I ever tell you how much I love him??????}

Just look at those scrolly arms and adorable wheels!

They were a steal!! 55.00 for the pair!

They need a little fixing up...like the white one, that's my eiffel tower holding up the back!

The black one, I've gotta find more decorative wheels, then get it white and chippy, then find just the right cushions but I'll tell ya, I can just about taste the after-tennis apple martini's this summer can't you?

Also...on another 'fine day note'...I won LaurieAnna's french script pillow giveaway!

So excited about this, I'm thinking it will be on my new~old lounge chair soon!

Thankyou LaurieAnna!

Hope everyone had a fine weekend!!
