I had high hopes of posting a lovely post on my freshly planted garden, complete with photos, diagrams, ya know, the whole kit and kaboodle.. BUT its simply been to chilly outside for me to spend prolonged amounts of time gardening.. So without further adieu, I offer, for your viewing pleasure, odds and ends that have recently accumulated on my Instagram profile.

























Top row: 
left: the beautiful sheet music I bought for a quarter at a used books sale last Friday.. Its new home will be a frame in our master bedroom. I've been loving 1920's era art lately
right: the new calf we came home to the other day, already cleaned off and romping around the pasture

2nd Row:
left: the new polka dot dress I got on sale from Shabby Apple. LOVE. here's the link. And this is another one I was eyeing up. Lovely :)
right: the darling box I found on our porch full of my rose plants

3rd Row:
left: Coconut water. I enjoyed this a few trips to California ago and hadn't seen it anywhere here in the midwest until last week at the grocery store. This is a MUST try. You'll be a believer, too.
right: Even if I couldn't get any chicks this spring, at least my friend Meg was able to! So I've vowed to be their "God-mother" and help out with caring for them to learn a thing or two.

4th Row: 
left: Colored pencils make everything better, in my opinion. Instead of graphing my garden plan out on the computer, I sat down and did it old school.. literally. Oh, how I still love coloring...
right: Speaking of the garden, I'd been on the look out for the perfecto gardening hat to help keep the "crows feet" away, and was dead set against the large floppy-brimmed ones (lovely, but they scream "beach"to me). I found this gem at Target for $12 and I adore it. It just screams "Fried Green Tomatoes", doesn't it?

5th Row:
left: I usually get strange looks from my husband if I so much as touch a tube of lipstick. He's just not much of a fan.. But sometimes I just feel like picking up at tube when I'm browsing the makeup section at the drug store. This one is a reddish-coral from Revlon. Fun :)
right: The view out of the back window of our tractor. Planting season has been awfully dry around these parts. And to top it off, every storm/rain cloud that comes our way, dissipates right before it reaches us. We're praying for rain so we can get the crops to poke their little heads out of the ground

  2. Love some random pictures! I am always too nervous to try out a bold colored lipstick, but it looks fun.

    I came across your blog, and am glad I did!

    Ps, we got married a day apart!

    1. Thanks for stopping by! I know the feeling, being nervous to wear those bright shades, but other bloggers make it look so do-able and easy. I'm still taking baby steps with lipstick lol.. like the fact that I've only been wearing it around the house. Someday I'll wear it out in the real world :) And that is so neat that we are wedding day neighbors! July is such a beautiful time of year for weddings, isn't it?
