A Week in CASL Photos: September 21st- 27th

Happy Monday! Hope you all had relaxing weekends!

I enjoyed mine by planting some bushes out in the back yard,

crafting with Lindsay, and more Fall decorating,

(it was more like Halloween decorating)! I can already tell,

October is going to be a fun and busy month!

What I like about doing a Photo365, is that I get to share with you a peek into what my week has been like, and possibly a sneak peek to what next week will bring. I've tried 365 Photo or Daily photo memes several times before, and surprisingly, I am getting farther posting my photos once a week, instead of once a day. It makes a big difference, and it's really nice to look back and see a slice of my day!

This week was a fun week, with Colors for prompts! 

September 21st- Red....Love Red peppers and Apples, just to snack on.

 They are so delicious and sweet!

September 22nd- Orange...I love the fiery Orange of leaves when they change color in the Fall. This is a sneak peek of what's on my porch!

September 23rd- Yellow....I am not sure how many times I have walked into the office at my son's school, and never noticed these, stunning yellow bromelaids.

September 24th- Green....Hello, Green Pumpkin! This is one of the pumpkins in my Mother's Garden. Mine were doing fine, surviving through the heat, until Monsoon season struk, and the humidity just suffocated them.

September 25th- Blue...Blue ironstone tea cup! I love Blue and White patterns! This one is a Johnson Bros "Coaching Scene"! Think I will have a cuppa tea!

September 26th- Pink..Such a gorgeous pink color for an Orchid! 

September 27th- Rainbow... I'm sad to see this week go...I had fun playing with the prompts! I took this picture on our trip to Vegas in 2013 The Chihuly Chandelier in the Bellagio.  

Are you on Instagram? You really should be!! 

You can follow me here on Instagram! 

   I recently started following a photo a day prompt on #fmsphotoaday.

 Let me know if you decide to join in the fun!

Here's to an amazingly fun week!
Until next time!

Follow Friday #32 : Sweet, Sweet Summer

Happy Fri-Yay! I'm glad you stopped in to visit me today! Hope you all are enjoying the sweet last weeks of Summer!! Where has the month gone? I just realized it is the middle of August already!! It's been a busy week over here! Fridays are my favorite day of the week, because I can look back at the week, and say, we've come along way baby! On Monday, I had the sweetest call from my daughter in Washington. The rest of the week has been a blur of baking and painting!  It's looking like next weekend will be better for us to go up North! I'm going to finish up the hubby and me project! Before starting something new, look for an upcoming Fall project, featuring my favorite Mason jars!

Here are a couple of Favorite Things, I saw to start the weekend off Right!! I adore Lilies, and how charming is this coastal seashell basket, against the turquoise chippy door! Beautiful!

For Follow Fridays from now on, I will be featuring 4 different blogs, one cooking/baking, one gardening, one décor/style, and one crafting

A Summer Trio from Peonies and Posies

Every post is an enjoyable display of vibrant blossoms and blooms! On Monday's she posts a meme, what she is arranging in a vase, and she also offers some very resourceful gardening advice.

Fall tablescape from Lilacs and Longhorns

There is nothing I love more than a pop of color, and again I apologize for wishing it was Fall already, but I just couldn't help myself, those lil' white mini pumpkins are just too cute! I absolutely love the chalkboard and the gallery of plates, the large buffalo check chairs, with the pops of orange and blue colors. It simply feels like Fall!

DIY Chalkboard Dipped Planters via Lemon-Thistle

When the temperature starts to cool down more, I am going to be out, painting pots and planting my garden here at the new house. It was too hot when we moved in for me to really do anything. When I saw this DIY, for me it was perfect! I had a black thumb for so long, that is until my Lil' Lindsay started helping me in the garden, to help me remind me not to kill the plants!

Good morning! I hope your week has gone well! We are officially all moved in now! Let the nesting begin! Not sure if we are going to Prescott this weekend for my Grandmother's Birthday and Mother's Day or next weekend, we shall see!


I wait all week for this day! Friday Follow's are one of my favorite post, because I hope it helps you to find new and inspiring blogs to follow! Thanks to Pinterest and Instagram their Inspiration gave me so many ideas, with too many being my favorites, that  I would really love to share them all with you. I just don't want to take up all of your time, so here are a couple to spread the love and inspiration!

This week, I wanted to try something a little different, than just share, I want this to be more interactive and fun! For this week, I want to hear from you...I want to know who inspires you.
Here's the plan:
1. Post a comment, tagging an individual (or individuals) who inspired you this past week.
2. Visit and follow at least one of those mentioned. A comment is always nice...:)

Someone who loves color as much or actually more than I do!! Love her blog...full of inspiration!

One of my obsessions lately has been Succulents, and it has nothing to do with me living in a desert, or that I know feel that my black thumb has graduated to a brown thumb, and I feel pretty confidant that I can keep succulents alive. I just love everything in this photo. What I love most of course is the repurposing of the votive candle holder to a miniature succulent planter! Brilliant! For more inspiration, be sure to check out Cherished Bliss!

If you are following my One Room Challenge Coastal Charm Great Room Makeover...This is what I am envisioning for my room. I love the art print, and although I love the creamy neutral colors, this is mostly the color scheme I have in mind, but you guessed it with more pops of colors from Starfish Cottage!

Love this entry by Design Indulgence, especially the turquoise vase, the vintage nautical prints, and the jute area rug!

Have a lovely weekend! Until next time!
