Happy Weekend Wishes

This is the first weekend in a long time in which I have been home and nothing planned!
I am taking advantage of it and painting my guest bedroom. I love productive Saturday mornings at home! They make me feel energized and content!

I thought I would share some photos I took a few weekends ago when my mom was visiting. My sister and I took her to a state park nearby that has a swampy lake full of alligators!
 We went around sunset so it was really beautiful the way the sun was setting through all the trees.
There were lily pads blooming everywhere!
 Below is my sis, Jenn, with her husband who joined us on the walk.
 The path along the lake was peaceful.
 That is my husband below, keeping an eye out for alligators! He never misses them!
 Check out this one! He wouldn't budge!
 This spotted this one before he popped his head above water, because we saw the lily pads moving as he walked along the bottom of the lake!
 Here is my husband again...looking for more alligators!
 I loved all the spanish moss hanging from the trees. It looked so cool.
 My sis again, catching her breath for a photo opportunity! You should check out her blog, Contemporary Harbor!
 And here I am attempting to get the last bit of rays from the sunset...however, the sun was quickly fading.

I hope your weekend is an enjoyable one, whether you are just relaxing, or keeping busy!

Garage sale goodies!

I don't know about you, but I love going garage sale shopping! 
I love seeing how one person's junk can become another's treasure.
Check out my garage sale goodies I found this mornin'!

Look at these fabulous engraved wooden panels I found!
I plan on touching up and adding some metallic paint  to give it a contemporary sheen.


 Below: Gianni Bini snakeskin heels, 
Shower curtain rings...the exact same ones I got from my wedding registry! (1/2 of mine broke!),
Salt & Pepper shaker (My sis is going to give them a distressed finish for me),
a cute purse,
& a cream sweater!

 And last but not least...two adorable baby outfits.
No, I am not pregnant!  I just can't pass up an adorable baby girl summer outfit when garage sale shopping. 
(Don't tell anyone, but I have a little 'hope' drawer for these adorable outfits that not even my husband knows about!)

So what did you do this weekend?

Goodbye Work, Hello Happy!

  Yay! I'm happy because today is Friday and I have so many plans for this weekend!  

I have pedicure plans...
 
Drinks-with-the-girl's plans...

Fall Festival plans...

...and then of course LOTS and LOTS of packing to do!
 If all goes well I will be moving into my new house in 3 weeks!  I need to get my tush moving!


What are your weekend plans? Are you planning a busy weekend or just hoping for some peace and quiet? Whatever your plans, I hope your weekend is a Happy One!

Recipe for a relaxing weekend...

1. Curl up in a hammock or somewhere comfy and read a book.

2. Picnic Under a Tree.

3. Why not take a nap while you are at it?

4. Take time to smell the flowers...even pick some to brighten your house!

5. And at the end of the day...take a nice long bath with lots of candles and a glass of wine...

Now THAT is my idea of a weekend well spent!
