August 17th



Late afternoon at Jennings beach. 
 I love going there after work, it's a beautiful time of day.
When the sun starts going down,  it's off to Colony Grill, (I've posted pictures of their pizza before). 
this is my hometown...I wish I still lived there!

There were 3 deers standing in this driveway on my way to work, but by the time I dug out my camera, Mama, and the other little one ducked into the trees!

A walk thru P-Town




 





A glimpse of our week on Cape Cod...

P-Town was decked out for the 4th of July. 
The tie-dye shop is an institution of P-town, been there as long as I remember.
Flowers lining a picket fence on Commercial St., and a custom bike with wooden fenders! 
We finally did a Whale Watch!  I was in awe!  I couldn't believe how many we saw (12), and they were SO close and SO HUGE!

Retro Deck Furniture


Isn't this great? Found it on Craigslist. $300!  I thought it was a steal.  The woman I bought it from had gotten it from her parents as a wedding gift like 30 years ago, and she only used it, on a covered porch, for about 7 years.  It was then moved to the barn, and the cushions to the attic, for storage.  She even freshly painted it before listing it.  That was worth it for me right there!  I've been looking for a set like this for years...

Testing out the new chairs!

Dining Chairs

Here is what my dining room looked like with my black windsor chairs.  They are really wide, so if you were the one sitting in one of the middle chairs, you could pretty much plan on being stuck there for the duration of dinner.  They were also very tall, and I couldn't reach over them to place food, etc. on the table.

So, even though I wasn't really looking to replace them just yet,  I found these on Craigslist, and I snapped them up.  I'm really happy with them...Now I just have to sell the above.

Updating?

                                             This is my tub 'to be' ! 
We're redoing our master bed and bath. 
The first thing on my list, is to get rid of the jetted tub, and replace  it with an old clawfoot. 
 When you say 'updating' most folks think of  modernizing, but I'm the opposite. 
My dream is to own a very old house...but since that is not in the forseeable future,  I need to make my house  'feel' old. 
So anyway, this tub is the starting point  for the masterbath redo. 
While my kids were growing up, we lived in an old house with a clawfoot tub, and no shower, and that worked fine for me, and it's what I want again. (there is another shower in the house). 
Anyway, things usually take a long time getting done in my house, and even though it can be frustrating,  it can be a good thing.   It takes me a while to make decisions. especially if it's something I have to live with for a while.
Below are images of bathrooms that give me a feeling that I really like...I think it mostly the simplicity.
so I'll have to post a picture of my bathroom now (scary thought), so that you can see where I take it.  But be patient!









About Me

ct, United States
Hi, I'm Priscilla. This blog is basically a diary, in photos, so that i might capture tiny pieces of time...that pass, far too quickly...and the older i get, the faster time passes. So here's a little bit about me: I live in Southern New England, (one of the worlds most beautiful places,in my opinion) I'm a Mom of 3, and grandma to 1 beautiful little girl. I love my kids, my grandaughter & my husband, more than anything in the world, BUT...there ARE other things I LOVE too...like pizza! & summertime & ice cold beer & red wine...brisk Autumn days, sitting by the fireplace, old houses, stone walls, flea markets, second hand shops, old painted furniture, decorating (and then redecorating). Warm sunny mornings on the porch, Earl Grey tea, and sultry late afternoons at the beach, and taking pictures. And Last, but by no means least, home.
