Hello Dear Friends,
         
                                   Happy Spring

   Wrapping up Easter decorations, using a recent gift of the running hare floorcloth as my focal point for the table.  Although I do believe I need to bring everything in some, I'm having friends over Friday so we need a little room to eat. 

My collection of rabbits are antiques, vintage and a few fabulous antique reproductions.  It's always such fun when you unearth your holiday decorations for the season, and find a few treasurer you forgot.  

I love using cloches, holidays are always special when the season is tucked under glass.  This vignette is old books covered with text, pages from antiques books rolled up along with old fragments of hand carved molding with original yellow paint.

I spy a few sacred hearts tucked in and each cloche hides a rabbit or two. Spring, Easter and much loved treasures awaits you.

I will be hopping over to your home to see Easter soon. XOXO Kathy 

Easter Decorating - Rabbits, Lambs and Fresh Ideas

I love spring decorating and especially 

Eastertime with bunnies, lambs chicks and eggs.

Fresh spring colors to brighten the winter past.

Simply changing your china, adding easter tidbits can make all the difference in brightening your room.  LET SPRING IN!

Recently visiting my dear friend Doris,  I was inspired by her spring table, it's just the motivation needed to begin my transition from winter to spring.  

With Easter just around the corner

no better time to freshen each room.

I always love to buy new houseplants and to refresh the winter ones outside.  Doris had a few tucked here and there making spring peak out from antiques.

Keep them misted and hydrated for better performance and they will reward you

with charm.

I'm so blessed to have such talented

friends that are eager to share

their lovely homes.

This week I will wrap up my decorating and promise to keep you involved. XOXO Kathy 

Goodbye Winter!

I'm so glad to see winter behind me where I live and

 looking forward to planting some herbs to enjoy!

I'm dreaming about all the wonderful dishes and concoctions I can make with the bounty!

I love, in the mornings, hearing the birds singing as they busy themselves making their new home.

The happy sounds are so welcoming and comforting in the busy city.

I have a happy little wren making her nest on my front porch

in the rafters.  They never seem to be scared away by humans, pets or 

noise, in fact they love to be close to us.  

How sweet is this?  

Take Care and Enjoy Spring,  XOXO Kathy

Summer Trip to Serenbe With Dear Friends

 This summer my friends and I were invited to Serenbe, by our best buddy Toni Rueter.  https://serenbefarms.com/ to enjoy a beautiful setting, wonderful food, great plays and lots of outing's.

My first time visit to Tyron, Ga. took us to Circa Vintage Market and Antiques

https://www.facebook.com/CircaVintageMarket/

Is this cute or what?  Coffee Bar, every gal's dream.

Our early morning began with a light breakfast at Circa's Coffee Shop.

 

The staff won us over with their warm personalities and steamy hot coffee, a fun  unexpected surprise.  The coffee shop is bustling with warm personality and clever decorating.

 

 

This was a first for us all four but it's near and deer to us.  Deer heads beautifully painted with leaves and nature.

The coffee shop is packed full of great gifts and handcrafted delights to embellish your home or your favorite outfit. 

Then there is More........Flowers, The Funky Shack @ Circa

Natural flowers tucked in the cuties containers, the unexpected is everywhere. 

Hope you have a fun trip planned with your dear friends this fall.

 

 

When you're traveling make this a must stop location.  We will be heading back this month and looking forward to my hot coffee and friendly faces.

Theresa, Toni, Sandy and Myself  Wish You Happy Trails My Dear Friends, Love Kathy

Say Goodbye to Summer and Farewell to Fairies - Until Next Year

Today is the last day of summer, all my fairy goodies are being packed up. Before bringing out fall I wanted to share a few photos of recent celebration. 

This summer I hosted several fairy parties some for the wee folks and some for the young at heart. 

The world of fantasy can be so inviting especially when you entertain children in the spirit of make believe.  

Fairies love lots of everything, anything shiny that sparkles and glitters are their favorites.  I have found most young or old alike loves the sparkle.

 

When it comes to entertaining and decorating for fairies all rules are broken, More is Better. 

 

 

 

 

From Mushrooms hanging from the chandelier to jewels and

 treasures tucked here and there, lots of eye candy, to put a smile on all curious faces.

 

 

 

Once the decorations are up there is always time for kids to pop in. 

The great thing is the dollar store can come to your rescue,

decorate with their photos and wings and all is wonderful.

 

 

 

 

 

Running out of time......fall is drawing near.  Enjoy, Kathy

 

 

 

Fun Times With Fun Friends in Fun Places

My friends and I love to look for any excuse to spend a few days in Birmingham and visit our favorite shop White Flowers Gallery http://www.whiteflowers.com/ in Homewood. 

 

Thought you would enjoy some eye candy and a short trip. 

 

When I say everything is white, calming and ethereal I mean everything.  It's a lovely place to visit and you don't want to leave. 

Come with me and we'll slip in the back door to take a PEEK!

The owner, Diana, has the best taste in her selections that she carries.  There is always something delicious to discover, treasurers that you may never see again.

Everything is white or shades of white, gray and cream.  Blissfully White. 

 

You want to leave with one of everything.....but you can't, although you can dream.

 

 

Hope you've enjoyed recently a special trip with your favorite

friends, it not give them a call and plan it now.

Blessings to you, Kathy

Green is the Color for Spring in the South

Our spring has been beautiful here in the south.
I hope you're enjoying lovely weather or at least you know you will be soon.

Spring is such a beautiful time to rejuvenate, recharge our inspiration.

Herbs are always my favorite and naturally they are thriving.

A long weekend awaits us here and I see gardening in the forecast.  There is something magically about digging in the grown and seeing everything grow.

I feel so blessed to be able to still work in my garden.

Take a peek at my front yard, my tiny cottage on Grand.
Enjoy the season my friends, Kathy

Christmas Last Minute Touches

I hope you're  enjoying the holidays, family and friends. I'm still adding a few touches here and there and loving every minute of it.

This wonderful Father Christmas was painted by my dear talented friend Theresa Lott Stanley in the early 90's.

  

It's wonderful to bring out our treasures once a year to enjoy the season.

We can find more places to tuck this and that, this year over my mantle I used gold, copper and bronze it was nice for a change. I wish you and your family a very blest Christmas season. Kathy Morgan Lovitt

I'm Late, I'm Late

Hello Friends,

 Alice in Wonderland

 

I want to share a little of what I have been up to. 

Set staging for a dramatic photos shoot with a lovely family.
It was this time last year, hot, hot and hot.

Have The Time Robbers Attacked Again?

Hello Friends,

 What in the heck has happened to TIME,

 

                     have the time robbers                      

 

appeared again and stolen from me a year of my life?

 

 

 

 

Have I been in a deep sleep, brought about by eating

 

 

 

 

 

that darn poison apple   

 

     and still waiting for the dreamy prince to plant one on me?

 

Nothing as exciting as waiting for a prince, although,

 

I have been busy taking online classes

 

in Life Coaching and that is exciting for me. 

 

 

Starting over, studying, testing and writing is



is not the norm for me but I have enjoyed every minute of it


and looking forward to walking with others


towards reaching their dream.

Enjoy this beautiful day God has blessed us with.
Your friend Kathy

 

 



Welcome to Wonderland

My very special friends the Searcy's and Caton's came 

 

from Wetumpka for an afternoon of magic and celebration. 

Publix's Bakery prepared the cake, seemed natural to request a stump with mushrooms.

 

 I couldn't have been happier.

 

My friend, Theresa is always there to help and she waved her magic wand.

 

She made acorns out of donut holes, sprinkles and pretzels,

 

from meringues and pretzels became woodland mushrooms.

  

 

 The magical woodland scene was set.

 

 Big Sister, Janie Bess, made the day perfect

by reading magical adventures from a pop-up book, to

her little brother.

 

 

Hope you are spending time in wonderland this summer.
