Traveling Tote Adventures
All Summer Long
I don't know about you but it's hard to believe it's September and Labor Day weekend! Summer seems like a dream now, although it is still hot here and will be until mid October. Not much happening here other than weekends to visit family and a few day trips. My tote friends and I shared a post last month about our summer adventures so I'm sharing a little of what's kept me busy in August.

I love to visit open houses and keeping up with the latest trends
Miss Molly joined me for the afternoon. We saw a lot of open plans and marble kitchens and baths. Sure makes me wish I could build another house!Every time I'm in Birmingham I always save time to stop in Trader Joe's. I love shopping there, especially for flowers. Miss Courtney decided she didn't want her pic made this day or maybe I just forgot to snap her pic??? She was a big help carrying every thing!
We've spent a lot of time in our own backyard
I love visiting my favorite local garden shop
So what did I find this day?
Beautiful "Provence" Lavender
And sunflowers, my late summer favorite
Other special days I need help carrying special gifts to loved ones. One being a very special aunt.
And for another very special person, my sweet mother in law.
They both are in nursing homes and love soft throws for the end of their beds, so I look for pretty seasonal color.
Miss Courtney is roomy enough to hold everything so I only need to make one trip from the car.
I though I was ready to add warm and cozy with my new sale finds from Pottery Barn, wrong! I still can't go there with our hot weather but I did find a way for Miss Courtney to help out. She holds the new faux fur pillows and throw until I'm ready to use them on the sofa and chair. Sometimes I wonder how I ever got along without her!
