Gathering up pieces of Home!

Where we love is home, Home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

I've been busy! I've spent a lot of time trying to think of what to take down to our new house in Ft. Myers to make it home. We want to have all the comforts of home down there so in a moments notice, we can just pack some clothes and off we go!! I found some dishes, bought them and changed my mind, and bought some others!! I decided on white so I can get other pieces in color for accent....of course you know I have to have some teal blue mixed in there somewhere!!!


My Dad and Mom bought me these coasters years ago on Sanibel, I thought they would be just the ticket!!
I've had these towels for years, and rarely used them, so they will fit right in too!!

Yesterday, I decided I needed to make some things also....I had 5 night lights left....3 bathrooms in the new place, oh well, might as well make all 5!!




...And I had this picture frame....what will make a home more personal than a picture?? Of course, the frame had to be 'personalized' with treasures from Sanibel!!! :)






..And I think this is the perfect picture!! This picture of Hubby and I was taken by Pam Rambo the first time we met her a couple of years ago!! Right on the beach in front of Oceans Reach! Won't it fit perfectly in this frame?? 
So I have begun to gather pots and pans, mixing bowls, utensils etc together to take down for our trip to closing April 30th! I am constantly trying to think of things we need, and spending time looking around online for ideas!!! I will keep you posted!!!

  1. So exciting. Love the dishes you picked. You are going to have the best time decorating and making the place feel like home. You will love not having to haul stuff down to Florida with each trip now. Won't it be nice to keep all your shelling stuff there?
