Coastal Look

Hello y'all, thought I would share one of favorite projects with you today. I purchased some reclaimed wood and these cute iron starfish hooks, and went to work. After putting it all together, I now have what I think is one charming looking COASTAL rack. This rack can be used in a bathroom for towels, or maybe hang it in your mudroom for coats/backpacks/hats, no matter where it hangs, it sure will look good. You all know, that I love adding coastal touches in my home, but I decided to let it go, so I took it to the marketplace this weekend. Guess what? It sold right away, so now it can be enjoyed at another coastal home, and that makes me very happy. What have you been making lately? I would love to have you come by this week and share it with us at my Nifty Thrifty Tuesday party, hope to see ya there!!!

Family Time At The Lake

It can't get any better than this...family time on the lake!!!! We spent last week at Lake Martin, and boy we sure had a wonderful relaxing time there. This was a much needed vacation for us. Mr.CC and I have both been very busy with our jobs, so laid back time, was just what the doctor ordered. I will say, that since I have been back home, I have been a busy bee again (oh well). I have done some painting and fluffing at my Cotton City booth...added some new merchandise too. Now, all you local gals, come on by and check it out. I will be posting pics soon, I promise. Now, let's take a look at how the COASTAL CHARM crew takes a break at the lake!
                                       Blessings,
                                          Linda

My two favorite flags!!!!

NOTE...Auburn University is

only about 30 minutes away

from the lake.

                          My BEST FRIEND...Mr.CC!!! We will
                         be celebrating our 27th anniversary later
                                          this month!!!

                          He did a great job driving his girls
                                      around the lake.

                             These two always have fun together.

                                 Now just look at her skills:)

                             Even Mr.CC did some tubing!!!

                                I think he forgot how old he is.

                  This is a popular spot on the lake...Chimney Rock.

                          People love to paint the rocks.

                  They love to jump off from them too!!!

                                Every lake needs a lighthouse...

and a lakeside church...don't ya think?

                                Early evening fishing was fun.

                   It would have been better, if we had caught just one!!

Thanks for coming by for a visit

with us!!!!

We Have A Winner...Plus An Announcement

Hello ladies, hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. Despite this awful heatwave, I am having a wonderful weekend with my family. Let's all be sure to keep all the people that are without power, due to the storms, in our prayers. No power and heatwave, just isn't a good mix, if you know what I mean. I have decided to take the week off from posting here on my blog, hard to believe, but it's just something that I need to do for myself and my family. This means that there will be no Nifty Thrifty Tuesday party this week, but please be sure to come back for the party next week. I will have another great giveaway for y'all, one that you don't want to miss. Speaking of giveaways, the winner from last week is....Tanya atTwelve-0-Eight. Congrats Tanya, I'm sure you will enjoy all your goodies that Nicole has for you. Now, let me give a BIG THANK YOU to Nicole, for this fun giveaway. Hope y'all all have an awesome week and HAPPY 4th of July!!!!
                                                        Blessings,
                                                           Linda
