It's a Wonderful Life

What a wonderful weekend! Good company and great wine at the Wet Whistle Fest in Algoma, WI. Just a quick "36-hour road trip" with my sister, parents, and family friends. Didn't want it to end! But alas, back to the daily grind. Countdown to next weekend is on!

Started the weekend by making guacamole in my Butterfly Gold bowl (I don't think guacamole photographs well !!!) 

The oldest lighthouse in Wisconsin. I love how shabby it looks!

Mom's cork collection!

An abandoned bottle of "Naughty Girl" Delicious!

Found a neat antique store...The owner knew Mike and Frank from American Pickers! 

No antique store is complete without Pyrex. But seriously, between $65-$85 for these sets of four!!! I'd rather thrift!

Had to pass on this set of Primary bowls too $$$!

I love rusty bicycles!

The Lemon Tree

Starting this blog has been on my to-do list for months. Since fall is fast approaching, I have decided to turn over a new leaf (!!) and get this thing up and running once and for all. 

"The Lemon Tree," inspired by a Josh Rouse song of the same name, is my new daydream. A place for my mind to retreat. Ideally, I'd like this blog to have the same feel. A place to go to remember the simpler things is life. No complaining about work and the daily grind. Bring on the thrift store and book sale finds!!

This past weekend really got me jazzed for the change of seasons. A quick stop at an apple orchard followed by  a picnic at the winery with my sis and Kenny Ray...pure bliss!
