An Update

-


The brick stacks were removed from the sideyard,


 pulled up from the patio,


stacked on pallets in front of the house,


picked up and hauled away in exchange for 14 yards of gray pea gravel!


It is installed and looks great.
I am thrilled with the look and can't wait to show it to you!

It's still a work in progress but I will give you a sneak peek tomorrow so stay tuned...

Can't wait to see, Terri!! Hope you didn't pull the bricks up yourself.....that would've been heavy lifting!

Wow, Girlfriend! You're not messing around!
Can't wait to see it! Can you tell us how you did it? Two years ago I put pea gravel walkways in and they are too deep...it's difficult to walk through! I need to remove the pea gravel, add more Grade 8 and then add the pea gravel back...but there HAS to be a better way! I am doing a courtyard this Summer...need advice!
So excited for you!

I found my bicycle! (my new old bicycle) The funny part is where I found it. Yesterday after finishing my post, " I'm longing for a new bicycle ," I was lamenting to my husband about how badly I wanted a bicycle of my own.  He looked at me and said, " but you have a bicycle."  (our vintage Colombia tandem beach cruiser) I said, "I know, I love the tandem but I would like my own bicycle."  He said, "You do have your own bicycle... remember you bought one at a garage sale late last summer?" The light bulb went off and the memories came flooding back!  All of a sudden I remembered the day I scored my awesome vintage bicycle at a garage sale on Briggs Avenue for $20!  I ran to the backyard where it had been covered up with a large brown tarp for the winter.  I squealed with delight at the sight of it!  I remembered when I bought it it had several small American flags attached to the front basket from being ridden in the 4th of July...

There is something about single beds... (Image via domino) I would love to sleep in a bunk bed again... if just for one night. I can just imagine the conversations that would take place in these rooms!   Summer memories are made here and here and here. Rooms with twin beds compel you to have a conversation before nodding off.   (Image via Pottery Barn Kids)   (Image via Elle Decor)   (Image courtesy of the desk of annie)   (Image via Beautiful Things to Share) (Cathy Kincaid)   Some more terrific twins...   (Image courtesy of gracie) (Image via Elle Decor)   (Image via HGTV) (Image via moodboard) (Image via Style Court) (Image via Just Beachy) Don't forget to enter my Giveaway!

My one year bloggyversary! It's hard to believe I've been blogging for a year already.  It honestly feels more like a few months.  I know I've said it before but blogging has been a huge blessing in my life.  It has opened up a portal into this wonderful place we all call "blogland" and has allowed me to find and connect with others who share similar interests and passions.  My most precious treasures have always been the people and relationships I've made throughout my life and over the past year, because of blogging, I have hit the mother lode!      I am forever grateful that I sat down one year ago today and tentatively and nervously wrote my very first post , bravely putting myself out in the blogosphere not knowing what lay ahead... a leap of faith that has forever changed my life for the better!
