India on my Mind

It is hot. Florida mostly is so this is no surprise. Still, my mind always goes to India when it's hot like this. It's the hottest place I've ever been. While I definitely remember the sweat, I can't help but also think about how bright and beautiful it can be.

I've created an Etsy treasury of some of my favorite Indian pieces. Click here to see it.

This awesome bag is from Seven Billion Buddhas.

Gorgeous photograph by LK Phipps available at their Etsy Shop

Isn't this mirrored and embroidered wall hanging versatile?! From Hunter Gatherer

Mini Gorey

My son was feeling this vintage cape this morning. He thought it went rather well with the camo rain boots. It's a bit warm for August in Florida though, so we may have to shelf the look for later in the year. While Juju was tromping around in this, I couldn't help but think of dear Mr. Gorey.

Swamp Things

July 25th-

Back to the Museum! Today it was all about pretending to be cool things.

July 24th-

Still hot and muggy- at least Jane's got a lot of light weight little cotton dresses. This one is Koala Baby and has pink embroidery and smocking- classic!

July 23rd-

I love the decor in my house- until I have to dust and de-cobweb it all! I'm hopelessly behind and, in this swampy warm house with no air conditioning, not feeling much like even trying to catch up!

Over the Heat

Tuesday, August 14~

H & I took the kiddos up to Palm Harbor for the last free summer movie. They showed Over the Hedge. It's cute, but I'm not crazy about some of the morality statements the movie makes. Anyway, afterwards we went to the Safety Harbor City Park to kill some more time. It was so hot. The kids played a little bit.

Hotness

Sunday, July 1, 2012~

Work, dang it!

Welcome to July. Hot enough for ya? We don't have central air and now our main wall unit broke. And the new windows we ordered in MARCH have yet to be installed. Our old screen frames are bent and let in mosquitoes when the windows are open, so we can't really keep them open. It is freakin' hot in here. So if I'm crabby a bit, you know why.

Move It or Lose It

Tuesday, April 3rd~


His shirt says King of the Road, hee hee...

While our house was being cleaned, Julian and I took a lap around the neighborhood. It's heating up! Heat is something I'm not a big fan of. When I was a kid, I think it was fear of eternal fire that led my to accept Jesus as my savior. In time my reasons changed, but the idea of Hell just scared me to death. I hate to think of anyone being there. So I'm putting aside my anxiety, baking up some cookies tonight and walking over to the neighbors and inviting them to find out the true meaning of Easter this weekend. I don't think they'll be interested, but you never know.

Still Green

Sunday, February 19th~


Taken just this week in our lush and verdant yard, click on the photo for more info about the vintage souvenir platter

Jason is back and Julian is behaving and I had a great day at church so all is well and as it should be. It was freakishly warm again today. I know we chose to live in Florida and with that comes warm weather and not many seasonal changes, but I do look forward to how cold January/February usually is. I like that we get at least one change. This year though, it's been warm and murky. I don't want that in February! I shouldn't complain though, the electric bill has been a little lower. I just want to wear my cute red coat again this season!

PS I just won the contest at The Creative Coastie Wife! =D
