Morning All! How was your weekend? What was the most memorable part of it for you?
Can I be honest? It was a long weekend! We are in the process of moving my Gram into an Assisted Living Facility, which I have to say is just beautiful when she had a set back and ended up in the hospital. I know she will be fine and will be back to her energetic self in no time but it really can throw you for a loop when that call comes. Along with that there is another big event today. If you remember the end of last year my Mom was in the hospital for what seemed like forever for an operation. Well today she is having the second stage of that operation and we are all just praying it goes much much smoother than the last time. The positive side to all of this is that Gram and Mom will be bunking at the same hospital this week so the visiting will be easy...it's the little things that help you look at the bright side in times like these!
As I was looking for a photo for today's post the first blog I visited was my friend Jess over at Sweet Eventide. She is an amazing photographer and though I have never met her in person, she has the most gentle, calming demeanour, exactly what is needed right now! Her picture above of summertime blooms is just perfectly sweet!
I hope you all have a good (healthy) week! I have some posts ready to go so please check back in through the week and as always you can find me with quick updates over on twitter.

Where have you been!?
A few people have sent me emails asking where I have been? I guess when you are a daily blogger and than fall off the blogging radar people wonder. I can't tell you how WONDERFUL that feels, to know I am missed. First I was rethinking the blog and its direction, I have started to refocus and am coming up with some great weekly topics and will have more of a definitive "affordable" voice. I love sourcing pieces and bringing you alternative to items we find in our swoon worthy photos. So while I was off working on that my mom became ill and for the last week has been cooped up in the hospital, thankfully it is a concern but not too serious. Anyhow we have been spending lots of time reading all the magazines I have been bringing her. She LOVES her magazines just like me and we have been tearing out pages finding lots of things to blog about. So with this I apologize, I promise to be back as soon as she is up and back to her happy self. After all I am sure she wants to get out of a room that looks like..........
and get back to a cozy retreat that looks something like this. Notice the glorious windows and stack of magazines on the floor? This would be a big upgrade!
In all honesty, knowing my mom this is where she would really prefer to be! Here with a cup of tea and her book looking over the water!
