Thinking of July 4th ...


I can hardly believe it is the end of June ~ July 4th is right around the corner ~ Summer is going by quickly ~ This picture is of an Americana Rag Doll I have in my upstairs office ~ I have quite a few Americana items, I guess the love of "Country" decorating has always stayed with me ~ It speaks "Home" to me ... What decorating style makes you feel this way?

  1. Lovely doll Kristine! Such a nice face :)
    I have to say my favorite season for decorating is New Years. Until I got married, I used to go with my father to buy a Christmas tree, it was our tradition. But for the last few years I decided to "go green" and we have an artificial tree now. But the feeling is the same - I love New Year!

  2. Thank you, Sonja ~ I have to be honest, I was never a big "Doll Lover" as a child, but I do like Rag Dolls now - I like the tradition you had with your Dad. I also like the idea of going "Green", we also have been using our Artificial tree and they look just as nice ... Happy New Year, Sonja ... A Year of New Friendships :)

I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...

Nashville Travels ...

As I left Logan Airport in Boston, I felt that I was opening a new window in my life. One of freedom. One of self-independence. I found my seat and settled in. The flight flew by and I was in Nashville before I knew it. I gathered my bags and headed to the outside passenger pickup curb. I was greeted with open arms by a friend that could easily be a Sister of mine. Before too long, I began seeing Nashville and Memphis signs on the highway. This was truly happening. A jaunt that was planned so quickly, felt more surreal by the moment. A quick re-cap of the tourist sites we took in were visiting the Grand Ole Opry Backstage Tour, Antique Archeology (American Pickers Gift Shop), Broadway (Street of Lights) and shopping in Downtown Franklin. The regular daily sites were just as fun - Meeting new friends, trying new food (and cream soda - Yum!), listening to live music, attended a going away party, shared in a friends brunch, and being serenaded by incredibly talented fiddlers, g...
