Relax: Outdoor Spaces

It's Friday.  I've been a maniac all week getting ready for a presentation and a couple of trips.  Relaxing for a minute, I was surfing a few blogs and ran across this amazing front porch at Imparting Grace, a wonderful blog, check it out in its entirety. I'm not sure I'd ever leave.

Friday Favorite: A Country Farmhouse

I found a cool blog today. A Country Farmhouse.  Beautifully renovated country home done by a young couple with two small children.  Really nice.  I snagged some photos and here they are.   Enjoy.

Awesome shiny porch with a great view.

Whose kitchen shelves look this good?

Yep. My kitchen always looks this good too.           not.

Everyone loves a claw foot tub, right?

Al fresco.

Thanks! Come back and see us again.  Exit strategy.

Question: Why A Blog?

I've been reading blogs for a long time and wanted a place to aggregate some I enjoy and to provide links to them for friends. I started this some time ago, but really didn't do anything with it until now.

I want to share things I like - food, clothes, travel, cars, all kinds of things ... stuff that makes me smile.  I love to cook. I love my family. I live a charmed and completely blessed life. 

Clothes. Well, there's a little problem. I have an admitted addiction to shoes. And bags. And suits. Shirts. Yeah, pretty much all of it. I have a few ties that I have had for years, some that I just can't let go of because they either remind me of a certain time, or because they just still look great; timeless.  I've found how to "recycle" some of my clothes, shoes and accessories on eBay.  I enjoy doing that when I have time for it, which is rare these days. I need to do more. Space is at a premium.

I hope you enjoy this, and if not?  Keep it to yourself .
