Pottery Barn Outlet Fall



Pottery Barn Outlet last weekend was all decked out for fall. 
Pumpkins orange and mercury glass were plentiful.

Lots of images ahead.
Go get a drink and drink in the PB.




This rug is gorgeous.







Baskets in all shapes and sizes.




The back of the store is chock full of furniture and has a wall of rugs. 
I wanted this leather chair while Joe objected to its $899 price tag.
 He could not be convinced. 
There would have been a %20 discount from the outlet mall.

I will find a leather chair. 
Yes I will.


My last Pottery Barn Outlet post from May is here.

peace and joy

Patio Supper Tablescape


We are having our backyard neighbors over for supper tonight. Unfortunately they are moving in a few weeks. We are saying goodbye with pineapple chicken, rice and quinoa, tossed salad, rolls, and a fruit salad for dessert,


No better time to use this red transferware I got at a garage sale recently for ten dollars.  It has thatched roof English cottages on it.



You guys know by now I only photograph near tablescapes because I cannot keep anything straight on a table.  Even my stack of dishes are crooked...I am without hope.



The amaryllis is from this flower garden.   The tablecloth is a matelasse bedspread. 

I hope all of you are well and nothing exciting happened over the weekend as Joe is taking several days off to help me around the yellow house and I have been painting, trimming hedges, and doing loads of odd jobs that needed tending too with him.

Log Cabin Wedding


 All images via my iPhone and a photo heavy post 
my friends but worth the look.

Our friends Cathy and Randy were married behind a log cabin from late 1790 or there about. This is the old door they stood in front of for their vows covered in  beautiful wisteria and bridal veil spirea flower arrangements. This property belongs to Cathy's best friend who is a professional florist who has done the flowers for the Georgia Governors Ball. I cannot convey the beauty of the grounds, house, and cabin. I wrote about their love story and engagement in my Hold Everything Lightly series in Love At The Hardware Store.


More bridal veil spirea and popcorn viburnum collected from an old home place nearby.




Many of the tables were covered in toile and the china on our table was transferware. 


The inside of the cabin was brimming with primitives and guests could eat at this table.





Now I want a cabin in my side yard. 



When asked what kind of cake she wanted Cathy said no cake. She replied "I want cakes." She had eleven different cakes made by her friends and family. We sampled as many as we could. The Humming Bird Cake was my favorite.


The Caramel Cake was gone before we got to the cakes. We had a wonderful time at this log cabin wedding. The attire was casual so Joe and I wore cowboy boots which was fun.

Thank you for your sweet comments yesterday. I am sore but doing just fine today.

Pottery Barn Outlet Spring 2013


 Pottery Barn Outlet was brimming with Easter items this visit. You could not walk for tripping over a cotton pickin rabbit. I saw not one cross. The Eiffel Tower pillow cover was pretty and selling fast.


A slip covered Carlise sofa was priced for $999.00. Two thoughts kept me from taking it home. I was not driving the truck and I cannot spare that amount of money right now. But still, what a fabulous price. I will be quiet now for this photo heavy post. All images taken with my iPhone. Technically they do not allow photos. I misbehave for you my darling readers.










 I bought two Turkish hand towels for $1.97 each, on clearance, and one other small item. Walking out of there for less than twenty dollars was not bad at all.



Shelley and I are traveling to our yellow house today. 
We plan to take long walks and do some tall thinking.
