Plans for a Summer Day

Posted on by

I took a vacation day today, and I’m looking forward to getting outside and enjoying the beautiful summer weather we’ve been blessed with.

Today I think I will…

Sit outside on the porch. Read a book by the pool. Brainstorm blog ideas. Finish reading Bittersweet. Drink Peach Snapple. Write in my journal. Pray. Give thanks for the day’s blessings. Take photos. Visit with family.

…and make the most of every moment.

Hope you all have a beautiful Friday!

Hi, everyone,

Just a quick note to say that I’m going to be putting together a little FAQ page for A Place to Dwell. If you have any questions you’d like to see answered, please leave me a comment, and I’ll add your question to the list.

Thanks! :)

I’m sorry I’ve been MIA for a bit. I’ve been preparing for the holidays, Christmas shopping, and dreaming up some ideas for my Sketchbook Project, which needs to be postmarked by January 15. Yikes!!

Tonight, I’m having a little family get-together at my place (dinner, probably some board games). I’m really looking forward to it. :)

I’ll be back tomorrow with a longer post.

X’s & O’s,

(Loving all the fall photos @ Flickr.com. The typewriter shot is so dreamy and beautiful.)

The wind is blowing outside, and I’m gearing up for another afternoon and evening of art making. :) It’s the perfect fall day to be cozy inside, surrounded by paints and papers.

How will you be spending your Halloween weekend? I never did get around to painting the pumpkins and gourds I have out on my porch. Oh, well. They still look cute all lined up. :) How did you decorate this fall? If you have photos on your blog or Flickr, please leave me a link in the comments section. I’d love a peek!

Before I go, let me leave you with a little fall fashion inspiration from the blog What I Wore.

I love her style. It’s chic—yet effortless. :) (And that bag is FANTASTIC!)

I’m in my painting clothes today, so while I’m cozy, I’m far from stylish. ;-)

P.S. I’m sorry I didn’t post a Vintage-inspired Fridays feature this week. I’ll be sure to find something extra lovely to share with you next Friday.

Wishing you a cozy, inspired Saturday,

Craft Show Prep & Typewriter Photo Shoots

My days have been filled with writing, editing, and lots of craft show prep. The two photos above are from a spontaneous photo shoot I did Sunday afternoon. (I needed a few images to use on business cards for the craft show.)

The week ahead is looking like it’s going to be pretty hectic, so I’m not sure how much time I’ll be able to spend here at A Place to Dwell. I’ll stop by as often as I can—even if it’s just to share a photo or two. :)

::Love this:: From Kal Barteski’s blog (lovelife.typepad.com).

Signed up for my first-ever craft show today, which means the month of October is going to be filled with lots of art making.

Today, I’m getting ready for a little Happy Autumn get-together I’m hosting at my place tonight. There will be apple slices and warm caramel dip, mugs of hot apple cider, cake, and other lovely fall favorites.

P.S. I’ll be back sometime tomorrow with my *Vintage-inspired Fridays* post. I have a few pretty milk glass pieces to share with you. I’ll show you how I’m using them in my fall decor. :)

Happy Saturday!
