A quick catch up

Well, the house selling and buying is going pretty smoothly so far, and we close on our house here in NC on June 2nd ! 

We found a lovely little brick ranch ( bungalow in the UK ) in Saint Clair Shores, MI.  Hubby and I are so excited !  The new house was built in 1957 and has only had one owner ! How amazing is that ! ? So now we will be the owners of a bathroom with vintage pink tile and some 1987 appliances !  I'm really looking forward to putting our own mark on the house ( hubby has a huge garage to play in ....lol ) and have been scouring Pinterest for ideas for a few months now.  My mind is brimming ! 

 The house is about a 5 minute walk from Lake Saint Clair, and there are sidewalks !!! I've lived in the USA for nearly 15 years and this will be the first time that I will be able to go out of my front door and WALK !!! You can't imagine what a big deal that is to me ;) Lake Saint Clair connects Lake Huron and Lake Erie and Canada is just visible in the far distance. As a child I was always fascinated by the Great Lakes and Niagara Falls. I never dreamed I would be living so close to them .

 Here is a pic of our cute little house and yes , we have a lighthouse in the front yard !




I need to catch up on my photos for my classes......

Be Still 52 Week 47 - Unique Vessels



Be Still 52 Week 48 - Coffee, Tea and Change



The Studio Online Prompt for May 4th - Potting Bench



I am so glad I have my photography to keep me sane during this hectic time, it helps me relax and "Be Still" for a little while !

    So nice to catch up on your news Caz, the home is just perfect. I can't wait to see what you and your hubby do with all your ideas. Your still life's are always so wonderful. Love that huge bobbin, I guess that is what it is or what it is called. Your change is so good, love the edit.

    Hi Caz! Your unique vessel is absolutely perfect! The cluster of 5 make such a pretty spray of single tulips and empty bobbins! Great idea! I adore your new home! It is so cute, and looks like a homespun style you are going to love. A neatly manicured yard, with flower beds already to go! And hubby gets some special things too! St. Clair Shores sounds so lovely! Love your images, especially the coffee/tea/change from the top down! Have a very nice weekend...I'm sure you have lots on your mind, and many things to do.

      Hi Beverly ! Thank you so much, yes our new house is more like an "English" house....smaller rooms, nice little garden with flower beds....I will be in my element ( although I'm not sure how I will cope with all the snow ! ) Packing is going pretty well, I'm taking it slowly and trying not to get stressed. Enjoy your weekend also , I'm sure little Teddy is keeping you hopping :)))

    Your new house is wonderful! Your mention of pink tile in the bathroom brought back memories of the first house my family lived in. :) You will have fun making the house your home. Your images are beautiful. I love your unique vessel images. Your change and tea from above is beautiful too, I like how the color of the string and teacup are similar. Have a great weekend!

    Hello Caz, your new house sound wonderful and I'm so happy for you! It's a gorgeous setting with the garden in front and it sounds like it's in a dream location. I look forward to seeing more of it! I adore your vintage bobbin as a flower vase - brilliant :)

    Caz, I am overjoyed for this transition in your life . . . perhaps because I am looking forward to a few years from now when we will do the same . . . down size to a smaller home full of character. Love the image of your new home, and I enjoy hearing all about the process - especially can't wait to see how you decorate. It's easy to see how your photography gives you a resting place - every picture is beautiful!
