Beach Cottage Flowers & The Desires of My Heart

In my last post I mentioned that we had been on vacation. It's always nice to get away but it always feels so good to return home too. I feel so fortunate to have a home that I love and that I am able to be home full time. I can remember so many years in the past where I would just dread coming  home and returning to a job in the business world that I didn't like. Now I realize why I was not happy in those jobs. I was not following the 'desires of my heart'. Being a full time wife, mom, homemaker, and part-time  blogger with a passion for decorating are exactly where I want to be right now  and I don't want to take that for granted. I would like to show you some of the flowers and foliage  around the cottages of the little beach town where we spent our vacation. They must really love the climate because some of the flowers are just huge and the colors are amazingly vibrant. I think these are knock out roses ~ aren't they beautiful?

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to finally have some time to get back to blogging!! • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •  We just returned from vacation and I would love to  show you some pictures I took. Every summer we go to a small beach town in Delaware  with my husband's family. One of my favorite things about this town is all of the New England style beach cottages that are everywhere. ~ JUST LOOK AT ALL OF THE COTTAGE DETAILS  ~ ~ screened in porches ~ ~ gingerbread house trim and white picket fences ~ ~ colorful doors ~ ~ clotheslines ~ ~ brick sidewalks and little patios tucked away ~ ~ porticos, shutters, and white railings ~ ~ pastel colors and awnings ~ I could spend the entire week walking around and looking at all of these houses. Wouldn't you just love to see what they look like  inside? Me too!! I hope to be back soon. I have a few more pictures to share.   ~ here's a sneak peak ~
