Afternoon of Errands


  •  periodontal appointment 
  •  shoe repair shop
  •  Hobby Lobby
  •  The Learning House
  •  Tuesday Morning
  •  Walmart
Cardstock, small paintbrushes, pens, and package of design sheets were needed supplies from HL. My only other art purchase was an assortment of art tissue sheets from TM.

Added this new cover design to Volume Five

The errands were yesterday, and today was art time. I painted over a picture of a church I had done and started again. This one pleased me more.



Son Jason gave front porch bench a fresh coat of paint.
This bench is one of my favorite finds.
So glad I didn't pass it up.

 short walk on this pretty day 

Can't believe tomorrow is Friday. Where did the week go?

Filling in the Blanks

Amazing how days turn into weeks, and then even more amazing is how an entire month has become history. This  journey called Life moves on at a fast pace with seasonal changes marking time. Several hours have been spent in the _________(garden).  The first blooms of spring always prove exciting.













Yesterday was a beautiful day for my drive to Jackson for a scheduled luncheon date with two friends from college. Every time I take this route I am reminded of how young I was when I first drove my pale blue Falcon to Lambuth College. Those were the __________(days)

Alice and I
See the magazine picture on the bulletin board...that's the one I had framed.
We were really into travel posters back then. Don't know what happened to them.


Back to the present. After lunch at Rafferty's and coffee at Carriage House Antiques we had to go our separate ways. I visited Yarbro's Antiques by myself before heading homeward.


Two purchases ended up in my art space... a tiered display stand and a sugar mold. Because one vendor was closing up her booth at Yarbro's I was able to get the stand. It didn't take me long to fill it up with supplies. 




I've been looking at sugar molds for a long time. They are versatile pieces. For now mine is serving as a holder for art brushes.


I spent some of ______(todayorganizing paints, sharpening colored pencils, and rearranging odds and ends in the studio.






Well, I did create this blog post. Maybe tomorrow art. I've enjoyed filling you in on my days. Hope your days are filling up in ways you enjoy.  Talk again soon.

May Surprises

We had an enjoyable night at a recent auction at the community center. There was a nice mix of old and new items. My husband surprised me by bidding on a large candle holder.  

 
The other selection we carried home was a magazine rack.
My plans are to paint it for the booth.


There have been plenty of surprises in the garden. The iris blooms have been especially striking.



 We like our garden spaces.






 
I'm fond of the little figures in the garden.

 
 
Latest blooms are the
exquisite peonies. 

 
 
And a final surprise for this post happened over in the art studio. Taking an old book cover, an eraser, paint, and a few buttons...
 


...a simple picture that's a happy creation.
 
 
Hope you will come again. I have another May surprise that I'm saving until next time. Talk to you soon.

As I Walk and Look...






On my morning walk I noticed a tiny bird egg in the grass. Its shell was broken. If you turned it over, the jagged holes were not visible. I carried it inside, washed it gently, and placed it in a small decorative nest.

July Bliss

favorite resting place

She's outside but you've seen her before on the inside.

Today's weather was out of the ordinary for the middle of July. The heat was replaced by pleasant cool breezes. I combined Saturday cleaning chores with intermittent escapes into the yard. Keeping close to home was better for my pocketbook, but I daydreamed about the great yard sale or flea market bargain that I missed.

Short but Sweet






With the heat and humidity it was a short walk. Scooter joined me. He loves the freedom of his morning and afternoon expeditions. What a joy to have trees on our property! I sought the shade while Scooter scampered off to the tall grass. I checked on my lovebirds, chipped beak friend, and darling girl.
