Delicious Lemonade

The Olivenhain Grove Sale Flea Market is being held in a glorious lemon grove on a private estate in Olivenhain.I hope you all have marked your calenders for this coming Friday April 30 and Saturday May 1 from 10-4.
I am so excited to see you all.
The smell of the lemons at the lemon grove is so wonderful that I decided to try and make lemonade from the lemons off our tree.I picked the lemons (they smelled so clean and fresh) and cut them up and used the vintage glass juicers to make the lemonade. I have to admit it was alot of work and I used way too much sugar to make it taste delicious but it was so good we drank it all.
Here is the address to the flea market be sure and tell your friends.3534 Dove Hollow Road Olivenhain Ca 92024. Look for the signs to guide you.

My Idea of Heaven


Can you believe how Amazing this Wreath is?
It is made with Sweet Peas. Oh My! I can just imagine how gorgeous this smells.Sweet peas remind me of my Grandmother. She had the most wonderful taste and style. She loved sweet peas too. When I was dating my husband he would always bring me a small bouquet of sweet peas and now when I go to the farmers market I am so excited when it is sweet pea season to get a bunch.All the way home in the car it smells so wonderful.
I have tried to grow them and have just not found the right spot yet. I would LOVELOVELOVE to be able to go to the garden and pick sweet peas and make a wreath like this.Simply Heaven.

White Cottage


This is the cottage we put on the lower part of our property. We have had so much fun fixing this little space up. It was suppose to be for guests but it is so peaceful it has turned into a favorite spot for an afternoon nap or to read a book.
We don't have much in there just a loft bed and a denim pull out comfy couch.A metal locker for clothes and incidentals and a painted chair. The great part is even though we have power we did not put in a TV.It is so wonderful to hear the owl at night hooting away. To have time to hear your quiet thoughts should be part of everyones day.

White Ironstone


These White Ironstone Pitchers are so cute all in a row. White Ironstone is so versatile and is always a great and fun way to decorate your home. I use all my Ironstone no matter how old or precious because I love the crazing old Ironstone gets from use. These three pitchers all came from different places. The large one from round top in Texas.
The toothbrush holder is from France and hand carried back in my purse on the plane.
I spent a month traveling in the south of France and bought so many wonderful things it felt like Christmas when I got back to the states and started receiving all of the shipment. I have chamber pots, plates, pitchers of all sizes, soup tureens and so much more that I will be selling at the Olivenhain Grove Sale. Be sure and save the date. April 30th and May 1st.

White Wednesday in the Garden


I have decided to be bold and make some changes. Lately I have been trying to edit the stuff in the house. Lighten up and only have the things that I really love on the tables, on the walls, in the rooms. My husband thinks I am nuts. I move everything around all the time. Yesterday it was a table in the kitchen. My husband came home from work and just started laughing.It looked like the earthquake had hit again. Furniture and stuff everywhere.Sometimes I just move it all back to the same place but sometimes a new idea really works. I lovelovelove the idea of the bulbs in the birdbath. Now that is fun.Please be sure and visit my friends blog Casualloveselegance you can click on the picture to the left. We are on the countdown to the Olivenhain Grove Sale. Gail is highlighting the fabulous vendors that will be at the event.April 30th and May 1st. Be sure and save the date.
