Oh, the weeks are just flying by. Already past the mid-point of July. How did we get here already? It was another hot one on the north coast. I am so thankful I work in an air conditioned office and now have A/C that works both in the house and the car.
Took grandson Jake swimming today. Well, he swam, I did not. Still haven't gotten the nerve up to look for the bathing suit and actually try it on. He had a ball. His back flips off the side of the pool make me too nervous so I made him stop. I tried to catch him mid-air but could not.
My new old cupboard top. Not wild about it but it's a start. My collection of ironstone is pretty pathetic . . . I guess I'll need to do something about that and I don't care much for the coverlets either. A very small part of my stone fruit collection is on the third shelf next to a piece of Peaseware.
The large sampler was a gift from a former college roommate, many years ago. She and I have not seen each other in 20 years and are planning to get together soon. Stitched in 1984, it hung over my bed until recently when I replaced it with my Magdalena hooked rug.
Part of my collection of treenware ~ one of my favorite collections, picked up one or two pieces at a time.
Tomorrow evening is hooking with Katie at the Chairmaker in Vermilion. My next hooking project is not ready for the frame, so I'd better go draw a pumpkin on linen so I have something to work in. I'm not ready for fall ~ just a pumpkin is a no brainer to draw.
There's a relatively new blog in town. If you are a mom to a son or two, or just need a laugh, stop over at Janice's blog, the Rug Hooking Store. I'm sure she will appreciate the visit. Stop by her website and take a peak in the the rug gallery. I left with a serious case of rug envy!
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)

Jake looks like he had a blast and the pool to himself? How does that happen on a hot summer day? I know just the thing for the top shelf of your cupboard - a Long & Skinny Basket made to your dimensions! I'm off to check out the new blog. Thanks for the heads up. ~Ann
Your collection of treen is fabulous!!! I never see pieces like these. If that's only a portion of the stone collection, show us the rest! Both cupboards are sooooooooooo nice.
Morning, fun times for Jake, yippee!!!! What a wonderful collection there, beautiful pieces Lauren.....Blessings Francine.
You can tell Jake's having a blast! You have a lot of wonderful pieces and you have them displayed so nice.
I enjoyed the glimpses of your collections...very nice. Cute pics of Jake, too. He looks like he is having a great time.
Jakes seems to have grown up a lot. Great shot of him. Wow that's some collection. It must be a pain when it comes time to dust, not that you would have dust like I have here working on the farm.
Big hugs

I hear ya regarding bathing suits! Jake looks like he's having enough fun for both of you.
Love your cupboards and the treenware collection is fabulous!
You can't go wrong with a pumpkin rug....I'm sure it will be prim and perfect, Lauren. Can't wait to see pictures :-)
Hugs, Linda
LOVED seeing your collections!
Loved your post today ! I don't even look at bathing suits !!!! It is sooo Hot & Steamy....have had enough !!! Your grandson looks so cute & reminds me of spending days at the pool with my kids when they were little. Pumpkins & Snowmen might make this weather tolerable !
Great collections! By the way, Ann Frank and Bobbie Beauchamp have been telling me that you need to come do our Harvest At The Mill show in September. I am honored to have one of your necklaces that Bobbie gifted me with. Let me know if you might be interested! Dawn
