A Perfect Flip Flop Friday

Sending all of you warm sunshine wishes on the beautiful Friday here in the South.  Hope where ever you are today you are happy, well, and feeling the warmth of sunshine in your lives. 

I just love Fridays.  Mr. P. gets off work early, only has to work half a day.  And that makes me smile.  Whether we have big plans or just spending time together, I always look forward to this day.  Our azalea's are in full bloom, the little hummingbirds have once again arrived to consume their nectar from the feeder on the porch and life is good.

 

 

Yes, here at the home place it is perfect flip flop weather.  And I am so ready.  Do you like to wear flip flops?  I found some really cute ones and they wear sooooo good.  I think the hounds tooth and the plaid ones could even pass for prim, don't you?  Now just deciding which ones I want to wear.  Oh such decisions a lady has to make, huh?

 

 

Well it has been a busy week here at the home place.  On Monday the girls and I went to the big city {Atlanta}.  Miss Darbee Rae had an eye appointment and we decided to do a little city shopping of course.  A good visit to Ikea, and then I was on a mission.  I wanted to find the closest World Market.  Thank goodness Holly doesn't mind driving in downtown Atlanta and she delivered me right to the door of the store.  I was on a search for a glass/bottle drying rack.  I so love the ones I have seen on blogs.  I would really love to have an antique French one but can't afford the price.  So the one at World Market will have to do.  WooHoo, they did have them and I was a happy shopper.  I haven't had time to decorate with it like I want so I will share the picture of it now and will show you what I do with it later.

 

 

I have seen them used in so many different ways on Pinterest.  Don't you just love to visit there and get so many great ideas?  You will be seeing this rack again and again I am sure of it. 

 

We had such a great day shopping and were having a late lunch and Mr. P. called with bad news.  His transmission had gone out on his truck.  Luckily he was in a safe place and had to wait for a tow truck to come and pick him and the truck up.  OH NO!!  So the remainder of this week, I have been without a vehicle.  The truck is in the hospital to have the transmission replaced so for another week I will be depending on Holly for a ride.  Guess I should just stay home and get lots of projects done, but heck,,,, sometime that's no fun.  A girls got to go as long as a girl can go!!

 

Last Saturday I got a package in the mail from Dawn.  She had posted a picture of watermelons for sale in her store.  I just love visiting her store through blogger.  I so hope to go there one day and visit with Dawn and do some serious shopping.  If you haven't visited her, you can find her here.  http://hollyhillsprimitives.blogspot.com/

Okay, back to the watermelon.  I wrote Dawn and she was kind enough to let me purchase a watermelon and she shipped it to me.   Thanks again Dawn.  You made this girl so happy. I was so excited when it arrived.  So prim and so real looking.  What do you think?

 

 

I am going to make more fruit and veggies and add them to my old scale basket and this is where it will end up.  I will use it as a center piece on the table for summer.

 

 

After lots of research, I found a pattern to make the watermelons and I purchased it.  Going to try my hand at making some and maybe have my own watermelon patch this summer. {smile}

 

Well that is just about it for today my friends.  Almost time for the Mister and my date night.  We went out of town last weekend for date night so tonight it is just out to eat and a little shopping.

Wishing all of you a wonderful and safe weekend.  Hope you have a perfect flip flop Weekend.  Take care and until we talk again. .....
