Good News/ Bad News and Summer Blues ~ interiors

 Hi! Best little good news, repeating from edit of previous post: escaped, flyaway Posy block has been found and kindly returned! [I'm pretty amazed!]

Then bad news is my microwave broke/ good news is the new one is beautiful, much nicer; $219.oo including tax, delivery, installation, disposal of old one included.

More bad: My hand is not doing well, a flare up of my autoimmune inflammation. Prob triggered by hand sewing. VERY painful, can't sleep bec of pain. [Better today, Friday]

More bad, a shark was sighted here at the neighboring beach, at the surf camp. Chomp! Good news, beaches reopened immediately. Young dog shark/ harmless?

AND wildfire smoke means air conditioning, even though it's mild weather, 70s, and big breeze off the water.

Last, Christmas shopping in July...I sat there patiently waiting for this folk artist's ''drop'' on Wednesday, wanting special bandboxes for family [and me!] gifts. As the postings appeared, they were already marked SOLD. So unfair, so disappointing. I love her work, but the fight to be a winner is just too hard.

I've gathered some shots of the cottage gone blue.  Probably nothing new except the slipcovers and empty space of no Mo. But---Enjoy the cool and serenity.

A tall ship made by my dad, winter evenings. I used to help him tie the rigging.

My wooden folkart animals including two beachcombed decoys, found after storms.

Pitchers mostly from the church flea. It's good.

Flowers.

And a reminder, in case you are one of these "cannot wait for Fall, I got my pumpkins out July 1st"  people: Just remember, this is what comes after the Pumpkin  fun!

Let's slow down. Enjoy each Summer day! Life is too short not to be happy and grateful for the day we have, not the day months rom now.

Have a great weekend.

love

lizzy
