my summer vacation #1
My new shoes now stand on Washington soil.
I have been once again pondering the perfect beauty of my favorite tree in my parent's yard.
Playing lots of croquet.
Doing a little fabric shopping, lots of relaxing, and taking in the many peaceful images around my parent's home.
Beautiful pictures! It looks like a wonderful place for a get-away.

The photos are lovely - very relaxing. There's always something wonderful about going home - familiar sites, sounds etc. ...love it!

Christy~
My shoes are MUDD brand and the style is called pretzel. I bought mine locally but they are easy to find online. Just give them a google :)
Susan~
I'm truly flattered at your question, but no, I have never ever done an exhibit.
