Yesterday the kids all came over to BBQ and swim ~
It was so fun because it just felt like summer was here ~ I love
the summer and all of the things that go along with it ~
These are just a few signs of summer from my backyard yesterday~
In the morning I tea dyed some linens to make more pillows ~ I love being able to hang them outside to dry and it took no time at all in the 90 degree weather we are having already ~
I planted 5 peach trees a few years ago because I love peaches and they always seem to be yucky in the grocery store ~ This year 2 of the 5 have peaches and there are tons ! We are trying to get to them before the birds and the bugs ~ they are so sweet and delicious ~
It is so fun to me to go out in my yard and pick my own herbs so every year I grow some ~
Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers and I love the color of this one so much ~
This is Kirby after a swim ~ He loves loves the water and looks so cute all wet so I had to take a picture ~
Well I am off to fold linens and lace ~
Have a wonderful day !

I love the pictures of the linens hanging out to dry! You have some beautiful pieces ~ your pillows will be wonderful!
The peaches look yummy and aren't fresh herbs the best!? I have some too!
Your hydrangea is so pretty...I've had some trouble with mine the past two years...it looks like they might actually bloom this year. I hope they're as pretty as yours.
And oh my goodness ~ Kirby is adorable! Wet or dry, I'm sure!!
Oh MY Goodness!
it looks like i'm the first to tell you how charming and beautiful your post was today!
all that nostalgia hanging out on the line to dry! what delicate, intricate beauty! can't wait to see your creations!
and the florals, To Die For!

Your linens look so great hanging all around!! You can enjoy them there too. Cute doggie!!
Hey Lori, I have so many peaches too. And, yes I too was trying to get to them before all the others did. So, I made a fresh peach cobbler last night and topped with blue bell, well it was fabulous! Happy Memorial Day, T BTW, I also have lots of fresh basil and my hydrangea bush is blooming away!
YUMMY! Nothing better than tea dyed linens (I'll bet you thought I was going to say Peaches! LOL) Although those look good too. I've got a back deck covered with trays of coffee dyed lace. I like a very dark aged look. Hoping your day is grand!
I loved your post today. You have some beautiful linens. I too have started collecting some to make pillows for the beds at the house. One day I hope to turn it into a B&B. I understand there are several loops to jump through and once you clear those it is a fun business.
Thanks for you kind comments of encouragement today.
Hugs
Becky
Your tea dyed linens good awsome. Can't wait to see the finished pillows.
And the peaches look delicious, really makes my mouth water. I love fresh peaches.
My hydrangea look pityful. They look like little seedlings. I'm going to replant and hope for better things next year.
Kirby looks so cute and sweet.
Hugs, Pat
Kirby is so cute! Have a fun weekend.
GORGEOUS photos Lori!!!!! I am coming to your house to eat peaches and basil!! LOL
HAPPY WEEKEND!!
Hugs~
Love your "summer time" pics...especially all of your vintage linens!! They are all hung so neat and pretty....when I hang mine out to dry, I have them draped over all the patio furniture and our deck.....I like your way much better!! Enjoy your weekend!! Cathy "girls gone junkin"
Hi Lori!
That Kirby is a little character! My Huskies hate water, isn't that funny?
Your linens look just dreamy! And that pool doesn't look half bad, either! ;-)
Have a wonderful holiday weekend!
Anne
Beautiful pictures and I love that SWEET little doggy! What a great time you must have had with the kids. I love gatherings like that. They just fill your heart!
Happy Memorial Day Weekend
Blessings,
Debbie
Kirby looks darling! My dogs hate going in my pool.
Those peaches look so good. Can I come buy some from you? I agree the store doesn't have such great ones!
Hugs,
Joanne

Wonderful linens.. Tea staining is such a way to age things. I can't wait to see your pillows .. I have pink, white, and blue hydrangeas. thanks for sharing. Sheila
I can NOT believe you have peaches! On to other stuff...that is my idea of a clothesline...just the pretties!
I remembered in the middle of the night that I never answered you about stain for glazing...I use just regular stain (like for raw wood furniture...oak or walnut color)...I'm going to play some more this weekend. How is your hunt going?
Have a great weekend!
Rene
You sure know how to make a girl jealous!! Just lovely!
Beautiful post, I have herbs and hydrangeas also.
Ginger
I can't believe your peaches are ready!!!!!! Mine are still green. Surely they are different types. How do yours taste? Love the photos of the linens hanging on the line. Reminds me of my Grandmothers clothes line. Oh things smelled sooooooooooo good back then. What kind of furr baby is he? ADORABLE!!!!!!!! Hugs! Charlene
Lori, that's what I did today too! Washed and hung my vintage lace purchase from etsy! I'll take photos tomorrow and more of the purse I'm making from all my finds. Don't you just love nice crisp, clean linens and laces! If you take a peek again on my blog, the eyelet on the bottom in the photo with the 2 eyelets was HAND sewn! I do fancy embroidery but have never tried cut work. This is an amazing piece! Someone spent a lot of hours on it so I'll make something very special from it, won't cut it up!
Have fun with your linens!
Hugs,
DIane
Lori,
Your little Kirby is just such a cutie!! Next week I'll be doing all those things back home. But for now it's still Baby Time!

Lori,
I need your address so I can come by & swipe those off the clothes line! Lisa
Hi Lori...I'm headed over to swipe some tea-dyed linens...take a dip...grab some basil...maybe a bouquet of hydrangeas and a sweet kiss from Kirby...I'm lovin' it ALL!!! hugs and love, Dawn
OMG Lori I want Kirby! He is soooo cute. Your yard is so pretty too. I don't have any hydrangeas yet. I love them but I am afraid of them I guess because I have never grown one! Silly me.
I have a birthday coming up so that is what I am asking for. I love all of your tea died linens too!
xoxo
