A Few of my Favorite Projects and Cottages

My web designer came to visit and brought me some images I had sent her when she did my website many years ago.
I am lucky to have worked with some amazing photographers thru the years had the pleasure of creating some 38 great cottages and having some Tybee Island Fun.

I'm thinkin' Pink..............

I am pondering painting an  old headboard Pink..... probably Luscious Little Little  Pink http://janecoslick.myshopify.com/collections/janes-colors

When I left home  this morning this beach towel hanging on the picket fence  reminded me of a pink flag....(where were the stars)

I glanced over and to my right...more pink( the Luscious Little Cottage)

It stuck me as a very good thing to see the happy color as I  headed off down the road to my office on a Friday the 13th.

the color created by the tiny cottage

 When I drove  into my parking lot the the pink of the geranium in the black urns just made me smile....more pink....

Today I am organizing the office and clearing out the closets and file drawers. I have to get my taxes done and make room for some upcoming visitors ........ making space for a visitor just means finding cool stuff , I forgot I had.


pillows that were hiding deep within the closet............

A good friend gave me a few things to HELP me organize my life at the office. She had no idea how perfect they were for my little spot...

they  even says "See Jane Work"  LOVE IT!!!!

  Believe me, I am better at avoiding work ....than doing  it... these days .....
 Could be a case of Spring Fever ............... .SO... I am sharing spring things on the porch and avoiding the tax man.............

my favorite bench made from an old iron bed and driftwood (so comfortable).....
