One of my Favorite things.......

I didn't realize till I got home and went through all the pictures 
that I took was how much I miss looking at homes.....
older homes that is.
This was our first home that Phil and I bought years ago.
It brought back so many memories!

These were a few of my favorites located on
 Queen Anne Hill in Seattle.

 I loved the treed streets, the side walks, the detached garages.....
 All of which we do not have in Alaska.


 The view....


 My favorite little park on the hill.

so sweet......

I am having a hard time getting back in the swing since
we got back home.......things are settling down now
but boy, vacation was more fun!

Hope your week is going well!

Seattle bound....

 I'm so excited.....Anthropologie, Ikea.....h&m....and all the shops
that I don't even know about.....School shopping!
 Were all packed......even my two little men....
I'm going to miss my boys terribly! 
and ready to make family memories.....

We will also be heading to Long Beach
 for a family reunion.

I'm so sorry I have not been around at all this week 
when I have hours in the airport
I will try and catch up with you all....
see you when I get back!

Happy 50th.......

 The Space Needle is celebrating its
50th anniversary.....
 You can get the history and fun facts here
 When Phil and I were dating he took me to dinner here
  The next morning I came down with chicken pox....
 One week from today,
 I can't wait to share this fun land mark with our kids....


Have any of you been to the Space Needle?

A thrifted re-do.....

 I bought this brass tray at the thrift store the other day.....
 and gave it a quick coat of paint.....

 I love how much room I have now
 with out that big cabinet in the way.....




 My beach glass from Halibut cove.....



I guess my before shot
 should have been at the top......
oh well


Last night we did the Skyline hike, well half of it......
I can't wait to share the view with you.
