July photo a day so far..

Okay haven’t posted my pics in a post in a while so here they are. Remember to check out fatmumslim.com.au for the complete Photo A Day Challenge, twitter and instagram #photoadayjuly.

 

 

Day 1} Self Portrait~ Generally how I’m forced to sleep with this pumpkin cat upon my head.

 

Day 2} Busy~ Our caterpillars transformed into butterflies! I became a temporary vet again creating the perfect home for these critters.

 

 

 

Day 3} Best part of my day~ If you fall asleep near me I’ll probably take your picture if you look cute. Mom and two sleepy babies.

 

 

Day 4} Fun~ Cute art project for the 4th! I’m lucky to be able to do creative stuff like this at work. Fun fun!

 

 

Day 5} On the floor~ Stella and Remy having a ball. That girl is crazy!

 

 

Day 6} Chair~ Waiting in the movie theater waiting for “Magic Mike” to start. It was just okay in case you were wondering. But I had fun with my girls:)

 

 

Day 7} Garden~ We had TONS of Casablanca lilies this year. So pretty!

 

 

Day 8} Lunch~ Reliving my Vinings days with a meatloaf sandwich at Jacks New Yorker Deli on the Marietta Square. Yummy.

 

 

Day 9} Big~ Came across this beaut at the antique mall. Woah that’s a lotta Elvis!

 

 

Day 10} Favorite color~ I have many favorite colors but my favorite color to decorate with is French blue. My whole room is French blues, greens, and creams. Very feminine. What is your favorite color?

 

 

Day 11} Letter~ So I didn’t take a picture this day but isn’t this fun! Village post office I drove past whilst in England a few years ago. Oh how I wish I was there now.

 

 

Day 12} Texture~ Rubbing from my art classes in Italy several summers ago. Again, oh how I wish I was there.

 

 

 

Anyone else doing the challenge?

Hope to post again tomorrow, antiquing and thrifting on a hot summer day is the best indoor activity. Scott antique market this weekend, who’s going!?

Have a bright night!

February Photo A Day Challenge~Days 24-29{Finis}+Happy Leap Day!

Happy Leap Day Everyone!! So I wish I could say I did something awesome with my extra day but not so much. But wait let’s see…I did confirm a spa day for myself and maman! I’m soooo excited about that, haven’t had a facial and professional pedicure in a looong time. I joined a book club. I got my tax return money {yayyy!} so I’ll be putting money back in savings and getting things checked off my to do list a little later. I’m also blogging! And I found out about this, Lilly Pulitzer Chroniclers Program, and am super excited to work on my application this week!! Sounds like a lot of fun and a great experience. Fingers crossed! So in conclusion. Busy week and day 366.
So here are the final days of the February photo a day challenge!
24}Inside your bathroom closet~I like nice things and I like my nice things to look nice and be displayed as much as possible. My shelf has vintage glass containers {an inexpensive way to organize things like nail polishes, perfumes, and soaps}. A collection of glass vases holds dried lavender. A vintage soap dish has potpourri from a trip to Cambria. Mom started my collection of antique makeup and perfume bottles for Christmas this year. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to make even the smallest or mundane of spaces look nice. Just think creatively!

25}Green~I have a lot of green things in my room but the thing that stands out the most is my hand painted cabbage tureen from Nanny. I love it and it has a lot of sentimental value. Last year I used at Easter to make Curried Carrot Soup. Delicious! It sits on my green hutch next to a green framed photo of my grandmother Hazel and her poodle. Also snapped a pic of my green books, they are now color coordinated on my shelves. Another easy way to change things up.

26}Night~Love this picture. Walking the Thames at night a few years ago. London Eye in the background. Wish I was back there now having tea and sightseeing.

27}Something you ate~Sketti!

28}Money~Money from voyages past.

29}Something your listening to~Current song on my Pandora playlist.
