Hi there darlings, 

Just a few shots little shots of the community where my family stays while we are vacationing down south.  It's not hard to see why I have fallen so head over heels in love with this place.  But I could gush on and on about that for days, so I'll leave it at just that.  Aren't the brightly colored houses so dreamy though?

Today and tomorrow find me out of town again - this time accompanying the hubble on business, but nonetheless, it should be fun. Here's to hittin' the open road once again.  So that's about it - not to be brief or anything but there's a certain suitcase out there calling my name :-).  

Hope to catch up with you all very soon!

Love bunches,

Oh hi there darlings,

I'm back from vacation and getting settled back into my lil ol routine once again.  What a fine week it was on the wee South Carolinian island where I soaked up plenty of rest & relaxation with my family.  It really is the best thing to step right out your back door into the sand & surf.  You simply cannot ask for more.  Quite honestly, it's always hard for me to leave this place I consider my home away from home.  I can truly see myself dwelling seaside someday...or at I can dream, right?  

So that's all to say for today.  I have plenty of catching up to do with you, with my house, and with unpacking.  I'm officially ready for the fall now.  Bring on the pumpkin pie, the bonfires, and the apple cider!

Love Bunches, 

The Departure II

Hello there Darlings, 

Things have been quiet around these parts lately as I am now safely nestled on Hilton Head Island, SC with friends and family ready to celebrate my sister's wedding.  We had a slight hiccup in plans as we picked up and left PA early all due to this gal named Sandy who decided to viciously grace us with her hurricane winds and rain and all that fun stuff.   It was a little scary to say the least, but thankfully we got out and made it here in one piece.  The sun is shining, the skies are blue, and I am happy as a clam.

So now I just wanted to pop in and say a big warm hello.  I hope to catch up with you all very soon!

Love Bunches,

Before I begin, I just wanted to say how very thankful I am to be part of such a supportive and uplifting blogging community.  As it was quite a tough week to get through with the passing of my grandmother, the condolences many of you sent through comments and emails really shed sunshine upon my dreary days.  I appreciate each and every one of you dear blogger friends so very much, despite the fact that we may live miles apart.  You are simply the sweetest and really know how to make a gal like me feel good.

After taking a short break, it is nice to be back and in the swing of things again.  The photos above are from my recent vacation to Hilton Head Island, SC.  If there is one thing I've realized time and time again vacationing on this tiny little island off the coast, it is that I could most definitely make my home here.  There really is something quaint and enchanting about this lush and tranquil little beach town.  I guess the next best thing would be moving to a lush green valley under an open sky and amongst tall green mountains...which is exactly where I am moving (once I actually get there).  Yes...our closing date has been moved back again due all the flooding PA has received from the recent hurricane.  Keeping my fingers crossed it all happens before Christmas...ha!

Anyhow, all this extra time on my hands has given me plenty of time to start cleaning out my closet, which feels very good.  I haven't been buying anything new either (for months now)...except for the occasional thrift purchase or gift from my hubby:)  Seems that having less stuff is somehow less stressful.  Here's to simplicity.

Well that's all for now folks.  I just thought I'd stop in and say hello and finally get caught up on your loverly blogs as I am way behind...please forgive me.

Until then, have a delightful week!

Love,

On the Rocks

Thoroughly enjoying my week in the sun.  I do wish it would never end.
See you when I return darlings.

Love,
