Due to my age and severe asthma, I'm "Sheltering In Place" for the long haul, but I'm making the most of my time at home.
I feel badly for all the small shop owners I have gotten to know, so I've been trying to buy from those who do curbside pickup.
I was excited to find out that Karen of @whimsyantiques still had the blue buffet available and we picked it curbside- boy would I have liked to stroll through the shop.
Another friend with a shop, Donna of Lily Fields Vintage, posted an old newel post in her stories and I have wanted a chunky column for a long time.
I spotted the large urn at @abeautifulday.ventura a week before the SIP order and was so happy to see on Instagram that Jocelyn was doing curbside pickup - I didn't know she had 2 sizes.
I just love the big urn - this is the view I see from my window seat perch when the door is open.
The smaller urn is perfect for flowers from the garden.
I miss going to Trader Joe's for fresh flowers, but this greenery I purchased from Purple Rose Home paired with dried roses is keeping me happy for now.
I also bought this Lamb's Ear garland from Purple Rose Home to dress up the headboard in the guest room.
Within days of staying home, I decided it was time to replace our Rugs USA jute rug - the Boss agreed.
We went with navy jute this time and of course furniture got moved around.
As you can see, the Boss likes the new arrangement.
My set of bistro chairs got bumped to the hallway when I was rearranging furniture in the living room.
The newel post from Lily Fields Vintage is standing by the chairs for now.
Yes, I'm aware that birds don't have 4 legs, but in my attempt to do 3 things at once I broke one of the rockers off the bird - I guess even a rocking bird is strange.
I have spent most of my time the last 9 weeks working in the garden and we were excited to buy a dwarf Meyer Lemon tree.
We moved the tree around the garden to find the right spot and yesterday we finally got it into a pot where it gets sun about 10 hours a day.
Today I plan to play with these seed packets and our old wheelbarrow.
The blooms in the wheelbarrow are looking pretty scruffy.
But with this view from my chaise, it's possible I will just sit in the garden and read.
