July Instagram Round-up

July 29, 2018 Claudia Retter
On the path

Since it's the end of the month (yikes!), I thought I'd post a few favorites from my Instagram feed...

 The one above was taken in a Chattanooga park while traveling with John on one of his Delta trips. As I stood here, I thought, "Ahhh..."  For as often as I doubt, fret, and worry about whatever, this sidewalk note felt so encouraging.  Yeah, I'm on the path.  It'll all work out.

Last week I visited my brother and his wife in Florida. Not only did I finally get to spend a day hanging out with the best sister-in-law ever, but John was able to join me for some time at the beach.

Finished my summer prairie-girl dress. It's the "Amelia" from Green Bee Patterns, with fabric by Frou-Frou.  I even lined it and made a keyhole button closure for the back. I love it.

First tomatoes! These are Red Robins (about an inch across) from my favorite gardening guru, Gayla Trail of You Grow Girl. Two plants have taken over the entire plot, omg. I will have extras... let me know if you need some!!

Ferns and my birdbath in the front courtyard...

An orchid in a hotel lobby (the light was so nice)...

Came across this in someone's studio. When you need a vase, make do with what's available in the recycling bin.

These chairs were sitting on the main green at Columbus College of Art and Design. I loved the crazy Christmas look when I walked by. And the patch of worn-out grass in the middle where all the feet go.

August, here we come!
