It is hard to believe that it is already July and that this week it is the 4th of July. Picnics, parties, barbeque’s, fireworks, camping, parades, and so much more. So many options for fun with family and friends.

 What are your plans? Will you be hosting a barbeque? Enjoying a little sun at the beach?

As of yet we have not finalized our plans but whatever they are they will definitely include a lot of sprinklers and some beautiful fireworks.

I hope you have a great day!

The circumstances are not that great (my aunt is ill) but at least I will see my family with whom I never get a chance to celebrate holidays.

    Good morning Elizabeth!! Your photos are spectacular and really put me in the mood for the fourth! We will be having a quiet holiday at home – my daughter is visiting her boyfriend's family in the Hamptons but then will be home for the weekend so we will celebrate then!

    Have a lovely day! xoxo

    Your images are "wonderfilled" and so inspiring, Elizabeth! The one with the playing cards pinned to the bicycle spokes immediately transported me back to my childhood Summers.

    I will have my whole family together on Thursday!
    Thank you for visiting!
    Happy Fourth of July!

    Elizabeth, a beautiful 4th of July collection. Oh how I remember clothes pinning cards to the spokes of my bicycle. I can't believe July is here. I think we will be visiting our daughter. There has to be fireworks!

    Hope your weather turns out wonderful…..hear that rain is in the forecast for a lot of the northeast and the humidity is HORRID!! Makes me want to wear a hat all day…lol.

    To me the 4th always means quality time with family and friends, doing simple old fashioned things like eating outside, maybe biking or boating….and of course watching fireworks!

    Well, we have our fireworks a few days early for Canada Day, and I'm always out and about that day in the heart of the city.

    The American ambassador does tend to throw a Fourth of July party at the official residence.

“Learn to love and appreciate the good in others “Learn to love and appreciate the good in others.” Good afternoon friends, it’s the last day of February, which is called heart month, not only for Valentine’s Day but for heart health as well. Just because we are turning the calendar page doesn’t mean we should forget that A). We should love and appreciate each other and B). To take care of our hearts! Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death in women? Ladies if you don’t take care of yourself no one else can, eat right and get moving, cardio vascular exercise is great for your heart! Have a great day! #heart #hearthealth #vintagestyle #love #heartshaped #scrabbletiles #handmade #handcarved

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~ “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~Percy Bysshe Shelly  my answer to that is I hope not! This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe. I’m praying for all of you without power and heat and hope it is restored soon. #pinkaesthetic #art #acrylicpainting #painting #details #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artworld #color #artoftheday #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #artofinstagram
