Life Lately
We’re trying to get real life under control again after coming back from vacation. Can you relate?
The piles of laundry, the out-of-control yard and garden, having to cook for ourselves again after being waited on hand and foot…. 😂


But morning coffee by the ocean, and cocktails as the sun sets… hard to beat.


My brain needed some new places to explore. I mean, I’m kind of naturally a homebody, but after all these weeks of surgery recovery and PT that had me really close to home, a change of scenery was quite welcome.








In Case You Missed It…
I brought home a few pretty shells from our trip and added them to my coastal display. You can see it HERE.

The Weekly Features!
As promised, it’s “double-feature” week, since I was on vacation last week and didn’t get any features selected. This week, I’ve chosen posts from Sundays on Silverado #101 and #102 to catch up!
I’m still trying to hang on to the vacation/summer vibes, as August and “back to school” time is quickly approaching. There were so many beautiful coastal, beachy, and summery posts shared recently. Here are just a few of my favorites…

Features from Sundays on Silverado #101
- Patio Table Makeover for Summer | Perfecting Places
- Ocean Swirl Cupcakes | Hunny I’m Home
- Spray Paint to the Rescue | From Farmhouse to Florida

What a beautiful place for a change of scenery! I have been enjoying my sunrise coffee on my front porch, but the view is no where near as gorgeous as your ocean view!

Hi Niky, Looks like such a relaxing trip! Thanks so much for featuring my broken china plant markers! Blessings, Cecilia @My Thrift Store Addiction
I love your broken China plant markers. Wondering if it would be “bad” to buy some odds and ends pieces at the thrift store and break them on purpose?! 🙂
So glad you had a great vacation, Niky, it looks lovely! Thanks for sharing my vintage seashell vignette, and for hosting each week. Have a relaxing week!
Thanks for always stopping by to share your creativity, Debra!
Glad you’re enjoying your summer and that you had a good vacation!
