Swish and Swanky!

I want to introduce a blog I ran across last week. It's quite a popular blog so it's very possible you are already following, but if not... today is your lucky day!

Say hello there to Swish and Swanky!

Here is just a sampling of the images I'm lovin' from Amanda of Swish and Swanky

I could sooo sleep in that bed!

I've been thinking of how to decorate above my stove top... this is a great idea!

I love small rooms, especially decorated laundry rooms- loves it!

and I love stripes, worn mirrors and collections of frames! Thanks Amanda for a lovely blog!

Well I am off to compile my 4th of July menu- which will include a drink my sister just told me about called "Vodka Rosemary Lemonade Fizz"- yummy,yum, yum!

Make It Monday... Potting Bench!

Happy Monday!

I thought I would share a photo of my potting bench that I found at the local GW for $10! My husband doesn't really think it's much of a find, but I am very happy with it! It has come in very handy the past couple of weeks when planting my herbs and lavender.

Here is my potting bench...

this potting bench belongs to blogger Lovely Morning... she also scored a find!

these are miscellaneous potting benches to inspire..

The BIG 34!

I turned 34 last week! And guess what???? I noticed the beginnings of chicken neck while dissecting my face in the mirror. Just one more thing I must now evaluate on a daily basis... it's nothing but good times!

Anywho- I thought I would share the very special gifts I received from mi madre and sister.

aren't these just the sweetest bird plates...

and I love the color of these pink bowls and napkins...

Can't wait to relax in these two pieces!

Also, I have some news! My 100th post is very, very near! There will be a giveaway to celebrate, so make sure to come back and enter.
