Whoooosh.

That is the sound of me letting out my breath.   I'm in the home stretch of this work project and the big deadlines have all been met.  Now I just get to clean up a few things and then I'm taking a vacation. 

I took a break on Tuesday and went on a walk with Kelly.  She sent me home with a few things, like the cherub vase above.  It's quite adorable.   When I was at her house she held up an embroidered towel and asked if I liked the days of the week towels.  I like anything embroidered so I said yes.  She said "Good.  You have to embroider the rest of them yourself."  Ha! 

And look at this one.  It says "Bee Tidy."  How cute is that? Everyone needs a little kitsch in their life, don't you think?

On Mother's day my sons gave me a metal bird bath and a gorgeous, vintage lace tablecloth.   Gorgeous.  Those boys know how to shop.  I love it with the old, battered silver tray I have on the table.

I am starting on a three day weekend.  Tomorrow I plan on sleeping in, doing some embroidery on my table runner I started three weeks ago and I may just lay on the couch for the rest of the weekend.   I cannot wait.
