Our Pool At Night

With the rain here in San Diego,
 the lights on at night were beautiful...
It's nice to be able to walk on our hill,
 and see the lights at different places.

SWEET DREAMS...

My Liebster Blog Award Nomination


LIEBSTER AWARD RECIPIENT

Liebster Award Recipient



        I have been busy with the holiday and moving my mother-in-law near us. When I logged in today I was so excited that Cynthia, from "Cloches and Lavender", had nominated Rooted In Thyme for the Liebster Blog Award. What an honor. 
Cynthia's blog is inspired by her passion to decorate with her many Cloches, Lavender and Mercury Glass. Her love of her family has motivated her into a wonderful creative person. Thank you, Cynthia.


              Liebster means favorite or dearest in German. 
        Apparently this award is for the little ones of the blogging world, the newbies just starting out or maybe more seasoned bloggers who have lovely things to share but have been a bit hidden and need dusting off and propping up on the shelf for others to see and enjoy, all with less than 200 followers. I hear this is how it works:

  1. Thank your Liebster Blog Award presenter on your blog.
  2. Link back to the blogger who awarded you.
  3. Copy and Paste the award to your blog
  4. Nominate 3-5 blogs to receive the award.
  5. Inform them of their nomination by leaving a comment on their blog.
Therefore I hereby accept the nomination with gratitude and nominate the following bloggers whose comments and blogs have cheered and inspired me:
I have been following this site with her wonderful photos, living in Canada and her home named "Acorn Lane". She does fantastic work in floral design, weddings and home decor. She will inspire you, like she did me.
I love this blog header, we used it in the beginning, very cute. She has very creative ideas, loves finding her treasures at thrift stores, junk stores and Goodwill. A very fun blog...
I know Mary, she's a good friend of mine and has just started her dream blog. She's a wonderful cook and a very creative person. Even though just starting, her blog will inspire everyone to be in the kitchen .
I'm so impressed by her photographs and passion for gardening, antiques, decorating crafts. She is very creative with her projects and lives in Tokyo, Japan. She will inspire you to pick up a camera and snap away...

Vintage Books

I love reading old books.
This one was a great find at the thrift store.
The old pages make it more magical.
The illustrations are beautiful.
Finding the date in the book makes it more of a treasure.
 I love the black and white sketches.

A Voyage To Lilliput.
 A wonderful old story to read.

French Garden Chair


I found this chair at a thrift store for $5.00
 and wanted to make a miniature garden in it.
I had Stan cut the center out. 
After seeing how it looked, 
I changed my mind with the
  colander in the center.
So I decided to place
 chicken wire and then moss.
I painted it with 
Lowe's ultra white paint.
Stan used the staple gun to place
 chicken wire in the center.
Then I added the moss, then filled it with soil.
I filled it with flowers and 
added some special touches.
This is our front door which I love painted black.
 It shows off all your decorations 
for all the holidays. 
The bird garland I got from Summers Past Farms.
This is a photo before the
 garden chair was added.
 The black chandelier gives 
you a little whimsy.
The new garden chair adds 
that extra touch 
for the front porch.
It all comes together walking to the front door.
Love how it turned out.
Can you see in the window, 
my DREAM sign in the house?

Thank you everyone that participated in my 
first linky party, Simple & Sweet Fridays. 
Hope to see more creative ideas this week!
