Greetings from Our Michigan Vacation







Had A Wonderful Vacation with My Whole Family!

My Daughter and Son were able to come :D

We had a Wonderful time....

Kayaking, Hiking, Fishing, Sunning and Just Relaxing

Also, I have to mention, I met a New Friend Along the way, her name is Kim...HI YA Kim! ( you can leave a comment at the end of this post if you like, so I know You came by...:D, or E-Mail if you like....I will E-Mail later today, I miss you all ready! )

She already has a twin....named Kate, but, I think "I " am her twin :D, we hit it off right away. You know the meeting, get chatting, don't stop and just feel like you have always known each other, and are simply catching up on things going on in each others lives
Of Course, I told her all about the world I have found in Blogging, and all the Wonderful and Creative gals I have met here.

Just getting back into my "Groove" again since returning home last Sunday
Unpacked and Cleaned Up Until our next Trip, I have finished and shipped out
17 Tags for Elizabeth's Vintage Post Card "Wish You Were Here" Tag Swap, (hint...the Top "Greeting From Grand Haven" is the vintage postcard that Inspired the Vintage Post Card Swap "Wish You Were Here"
I will Post all the Cards as soon as I get them...I can't wait to see them all! :D

Michigan has So Much to Offer if you Love the Great Outdoors


We took a four mile walk to the Big Sable Point Light House, Notice the Sandals...Most of the Trail is Sand...so I prefer to start off with Sandals, then I don't have to carry heavy shoes..."hey Fam...Wait-Up..."

We Were Greeted by the Light House Host/Keeper with "Welcome to My Home" , these Wonderful people Volunteer Two Weeks of there Summer, to stay in the Lighthouse to keep the Lighthouse History Alive

My daughter felt bad for him...He had to drink his juice out of a pink melamine cup...It's all I brought...woops!

I cover the micro-wave oven with a vintage tea towel, I can put two more on each side to cover the whole way, handy way to dry them too


Dish washing Soap Dispenser I Made with Matching Label











All the Pretties...

My daughter gave this little shabby cottage recipe box for my Birthday...I use it to hold pretty rose napkins (I spotted it when I was shopping for the fan, I picked it up and just loved it...but when I saw the price tag @15.00 I put it down...she waited til I left the booth, and then went and secretly bought It for me...one of the sweetest gifts she ever got me :D













The Cabinet Doors are Acrylic with Glass Knobs...It turned out really nice...at night I put on little tap lights...I'll show some other time.



Isn't this just adorable...these are measuring spoons












Here's a pic of the sisal tiles we put down after I painted the floor...the floor wasn't in very good shape so I cleaned it up with white floor paint and eventually, I plan on painted a black and white tile with floral border, or a faux marble look

I added this basket in the bottom opening...I store my pots and pans in it, not a perfect fit though, I will have to find one a bit bigger



Out and About...we saw this tiny tugboat replica made by the man in this photo from plans he made himself, (WOW) at the boat launch Just Adorable!



Kayaking in the nature preserve...Beautiful and Peaceful




It's time for a good-nights rest after a long day...








Goodnight and Goodbye for Now...Thanx for stopping bye, until next time...

Hugs,
Christine
