A SUMMER OF REMEMBRANCE…

Do you believe it is August already???????  Summer has sizzled by here in Michigan – busy, fun, memorable, hot, laughter, tears, graduations, engagements, births, deaths, struggles, triumphs, successes, failures – sound familiar?  It is just that it all happened so quickly!!!

August is Michigan’s month for hot, steamy storms and beautiful sunsets.

indestructible roadside chicory….. (love that color!)

and, my favorite, black-eyed susan.

Designing window treatments for client’s this summer has been full of “adventure” as well.  From “wake-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night” sweats – “DID I REMEMBER TO ORDER THAT TRIM???!!!” to “I am sorry! That fabric has been discontinued also!” (after weeks of searching every book in town!)

But really what has pulled me through these hot, sticky, sluggish days of summer and sleepless night’s of design projects have been the delightful, creative, deliciously, adventuresome posts of my blogger friends!

Hello:
The last few weeks really do seem to have been very challenging for you and we do so hope that the triumphs and successes have far outweighed any moments of stress and anxiety. The heat of Michigan alone must, at times, have proved to be very trying and we hope that as summer advances you are now enjoying somewhat cooler weather.

Thank you so much for such a very generous and kind comment about our blog as well as for the link. It is so very much appreciated. Like you, we too are constantly delighted with so many wonderful connections to be made through the Blogosphere.

We wish you a very happy and relaxed weekend.

Hello
I am glad that my creations have inspired you.
For me there is no hesitation in sharing ideas.

I was happy to see that you had posted one of my roman blinds and linked it to my blog. I'll be following and look forward to reading your posts.

Wishing you a beautiful day.
