Autumn Inspirations

This feels more like me. Inspired by Blogging Buddie Vintage Mending

I can't believe it is Autumn. How am I reminded? By my Blogging Buddies. They have it more together than I do. I know,big surprise,right?  Which instead of having blogging envy -it's  more encouraging and motivating. While I am fighting a cold and feeling more like a congested coughing mess; I am inspired with simplicity from Elaine @ Sunny Simple Life . Can you imagine the pumpkin she'll place in the middle to complete this look?

Or

From My Vintage Daydreams

Let's just spell it out!



Love the Vintage Farmer



Have you decorated? Am I the only one that feels already  behind ? What new ideas are you doing this year? or do you have a standard tradition year after year?

Why Do I Blog? Goals?

The following question came up today from Trisha  of Momdot.com :

WHY DO YOU BLOG? GOALS?

You know, I really had to think hard and long. I'm not sure. I always loved show and tell in grade school. I'm a great story teller. Ask my daughter Julia. She'll name any subject and I have to tell her a bed time story off one name,color,item or subject. I've  also always admired other peoples stories. Not sure how it all came about. Me, in this Blogger World. I've always loved taking pictures and with storytelling ,blogging just came about. Now it feels more like a Dear Diary of sorts. A little of my life unexpected. I now sell J.R. Watkins products yet trying to sell products comes secondary to actually blogging. I have to remind myself that I can promote a little on here as well. I find myself sharing links that I love. I adore Vintage prints so I'm always sending my blogging buddies to  other sites  for  Free Vintage Printables

I share my daughter

Overall I blog to bring a little more life into the world. Plus,it's therapeutic when things get a little crazy with a teenage girl. Remember what it was like being 13? I'm reliving it. One blog at a time, one teenage girl at a time. I guess a goal of mine would be to able to one day- afford to purchase a great camera &  blog full time until my next teenage adventure.

One of the luxuries of going to yard sales is being then able to afford other items at full price. After a recent episode of one of my favorites-Dr.Oz I decided to give one of his recommendations a try.

Green Coffee Bean Extract

I liked the fact it offers the following:

• Helps support Metabolism
• Supports Healthy Blood Sugar Levels
• Helps control Appetite

• Jitter-Free

Jitter-Free? I definitely don't want to be dancing around doing the jitter bug like in the 1920's. Jitter Bug

I will add this to my normal work out routine and see how it goes.

I'll keep you posted ....who knows I may have  actual results ....or I may not. Either way I have to give it a try! Any tips on results you have experienced besides starvation?

Warding off Evil at the Flea Market 

She goes on to tell the story how about a year ago she had an extra $20 in her pocket so she went to see a psychic. Her story is hilarious......

Summer 2012

Do you remember summers as a child? It's as if my daughter Julia awakens my childhood memories. I love this picture. Here she is in a pool with her friends. I swear she was a mermaid before. She loves the water. Someone pointed out the little naked baby butt in the background. Reminds me of the Coppertone baby .....
