heart to home


Today's Inspiration Challenge on SCS was one  that touched my heart in many different ways!  I'm missing the physical presence of Sam, even though we text and talk frequently.  I'll drop my card in the mail to him this afternoon along with the monthly payment to the university!  Just to remind him home is where the heart is...

These colors, so popular now, remind me of my home growing up, along with the oranges that were our high school color.  They look edgy and modern, though I look at them and think childhood!  We have a new vintage store in town...it's ultra hip and happening and what's there, avocado, gold and oranges along with mushrooms, owls, those glass clusters of grapes in any color but purple, and teak furniture, pole lamps, and bark cloth.  My DH and I strolled down memory lane there last week.  It's fun seeing the next generation get excited about discovering treasures, the newest antiques...

How about you, are you inspired by the throwback colors?

Yes I do remember those things! My mom had some of them. I keep remembering those polyester ugly shirts and it seems like they are back. Some things should be allowed to fade away, lol.

Super card for the inspiration Susan! Love the architectural look to this with the framed window - super sofa - Sam will love this I'm sure - He is hopefully making the adjustment better than you! It's so hard to have them go off on their own! But we do adjust! (and then we kind of enjoy it!)

Happy Birthday today my good friend! Something will be coming to you soon!!! I hope you are celebrating yourself today!!
