Always glad for Friday, the kids and I look forward to Mr. Redo
being home all weekend. He doesn't get much rest with the three of us tugging on him from every which way!
I finished reading The Help - I could not put that thing down
yesterday until I found out how it was going to end.
Did you know the author sent her manuscript to 60 publishers before one picked it up. Bet the 60 are mad now, don't you!
Here's a little Pyrex dish I picked up at Goodwill some time
back - at the checkout I was feeling good about snagging
it for under $5 ... until I saw a lady in the next checkout buying
the three smaller matching pieces. Now I know how the 60 publishers who passed on The Help feel!
We're expecting temps of 100+ for the next three days,
followed by more summer storms. Pass the sweet tea and
skip the summer storms, please!
Do you have any fun plans for the weekend? Have you ever
thought it was too hot to even go to the pool?! That's what I'm
thinking right now, but I'm sure the kids will overrule me.
Hugs ~ Mary

I own The Help but I'm waiting to read it since I saw the movie first.
ReplyDeleteLove your pyrex! I'd love to find a piece like that. also, the Pink pic framw with the buttons is really cute!
we're finally going to get some hot weather here and our pool is in the back yard so that makes it nice. :)
Hi Mary, I wanted to introduce myself and let you know that I live just up the road from you in Manassas.. I know what you mean about the heat and humidity.. You may be getting it worse than we are though.
ReplyDeleteIt's supposed to cool off next week, but we may have more storms before the cool part comes our way..
I don't have a blog, but like to read yours and so many others on the internet.. I found you via Cozy Little House.. Brenda's decor and garden really fascinate me..
Have a great weekend.. Charlotte
Beautiful vignettes! Stay cool!
ReplyDeleteHello Mary,
ReplyDeleteI love your hearts and kitchen towel. Yes, hot and humid here, too, in SE Texas...All the pretty pinks help to cool things down a bit.
Happy Pink Saturday,
Marianne
If it's any comfort, it's the wettest June on record in the UK, and July looks to be following it - severe flood warnings for most of the country. Whatever happened to Summer? Happy Pink Saturday from a cold and raining UK!
ReplyDeleteThose are very pretty! Thanks for visiting and following. Following you now as well.
ReplyDeleteMy Mom used to have this dish:) COme visit me again. Also I didn't see your blog on your google profile.
ReplyDeleteMary, this is the first time in many years that we are getting a warm summer before August so I'm not going to complain. Your Pyrex is so pretty; love aqua. Thank you for your visit and have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi
I really enjoyed the book "Help". I would like to see the movie, but it is not showing around her anymore.
ReplyDeleteThe book is still on my reading list! Your aqua pyrex dish is a nice find!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your creativity at Potpourri Party at 2805!
I will keep an eye out for that book, we can't wait for summer this year the winter is so cold.
ReplyDeleteMerle.....
I like the pillow - did you make it? It's 103 here. We hit a few yard sales before we gave up and went to several air conditioned Goodwill stores. Stay cool.
ReplyDeleteI did make it, added the banner later, etc. The news says it was 104 here today, supposed to be the same tomorrow. Yikes!
DeleteI LOVE your pillow! I am trying to stay cool here in GA as well. All cooking and yard work before noon. I am devouring The Forgotten Garden. Have you read that? I highly recommend it- I am about 1/2 the way through. It is really good! Angela
ReplyDeleteHey Mary! I am in Virginia too! Where are you? I am in Franklin (southeast) Hampton Roads area. You still got a great deal with your little dish.
ReplyDeleteI love to read and thrift,so I am hoping we will get to know each other well.
Its hot here in Maryland too!!!!! Yikes! I love that pillow...I am a little crazy about bunting! I have the help on my kindle but haven't read it yet. Looking forward to finally reading it.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Sunday!
What a darling bunting and love the pillows too! It finally got hot here in Idaho and we are currently keeping a very low profile (ie napping). I started reading The Help when it first came to our library, but did not finish it before I had to return it. However, I want to check it out again. Even though I live in Idaho, I love any story that takes place in the south!! Have a great weekend and stay cool my friend!
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
Just to make you feel better about the heat, we are sweltering in Canada! You'll just have to keep on Goodwill hunting to complete your Pyrex set. ~ Maureen
ReplyDeletehappy thrifting adventure. I LOVE the pyrex dish and really do think that was a decent price....it would have cost more on Etsy. Thanks for sharing.Mica
ReplyDeleteAhh I am collecting the same pattern right now. Just bought one on vacation. That was a good price.
ReplyDeleteMary, your cushion and bunting are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe pyrex is a pretty colour..what a pity you didn't see the matching pieces.
Never mind. They'll turn up somewhere else, someday!
You are certainly sweltering over there.
Hope things cool down soon for you all.
Being a pale-skinned redhead, pool time is never good for me.
Give me a cool dark room and a fan any day :-)
blessings..Trish
I loved "The Help" and read it very quickly when I read it. I enjoyed the movie version as well - great cast. Love that pillow in your first picture. I'm a first timer here on your blog, but I will be back! Ann
ReplyDeleteI loved the help too! I lived in the south during a lot of that time but our family did not have any help. Mostly My mom just had me and she did let me use the regular bathroom LOl. I love the pillow it is so cute.
ReplyDeleteHope it cools off here too.
