The Empty Room

Hello everyone!

You may recall, that I shared in my last post, that my oldest son was moving out.  Well, he has officially completed his move and now I am left with an empty and sad looking room.  You may remember when he was away at boot camp in 2013 that I redecorated his room.  I was so proud of it.  It looked like this.

Fun at the Beach!

Hello everyone!

Well, I'm back from vacation and back to reality.  (Boo Hoo) We had the BEST time!  Looking back at pictures is like being back there for just a moment.  Here are just a few that I thought might sum up our vacation best.  

We went to New Smyrna Beach, Florida.  This is a great family oriented beach with lots of condos to choose from.  We stayed at Ebb Tide.  It was VERY nice!  

Here is the view of the pool from our room.

Share Your Style Party #16

Hello everyone!

How is your week going so far?  I hope it's going well.  I'm still on vacation, but am able to still blog since I took my laptop.  Can't leave home without it right?!  We are enjoying a fun time at the beach.  So far the weather has been good.  We've been eating a lot of seafood and soaking up the sun.  Needless to say, I'm not having any trouble sleeping at night!  

I'm so glad that you decided to join our party this week.  Amanda from Dixie Delights is your host this week.

Let's Take a Walk Around my Backyard

Hello everyone!

Hope you are doing well.  I'm on vacation right now, but did want to share some pics of my backyard with you.  There are some flowers blooming and  it's a beautiful day outside!

I have several varieties of iris out back.  This one is a beautiful shade of purple.

Authentic German Grain Sack Pillow

Hello everyone!

Not long ago, I was fortunate enough to sell a lot of stuff at a consignment store which allowed me some extra spending money. I chose to buy my first authentic German grain sack pillow with it.  I have been wanting one for a very long time.  I have some reproductions, but I really wanted a REAL one.

Share Your Style Party #15

Hello everyone!

Welcome to Share Your Style this week.  I'm so glad that you decided to join us again.  This week, Ron from The Uptown Acorn is your host.


Hi y'all!

It's my turn again to host this great weekly soiree. I hope you will continue to Share Your Style with us.




I spent the Memorial Weekend in my "happy place", Grand Isle. The unofficial start of summer is here, and I am most excited that my summer will be here in just two days.







This is me and my cousin Monique outside Kajun Kastle at age 7, 40 years ago!!!! Do you like my flowered raft???




Do you have summer plans? This summer I have trips planned to Perdido Key, Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, and Palm Springs. I cannot wait to share the adventures of Uptown Acorn coming soon....

Thanks to all of you who shared your style with us last week. Here are a few of my favorites:

Southern State of Mind shared her beautiful foyer transformation. 




You must see this chair redo from Decor to Adore.




I am a lover of white flowers and silver. Ramon of Rowhouse Blog shared his favorite combination with us.




Meatloaf and Melodrama shared this idea for summer cookies, flip flops. I adore these so much. Brilliant!




Who doesn't love a good summer cocktail? Life In My Empty Nest shared the delicious sounding Simple Cranberry Margarita. Cheers!
