You funny girl! a turquoise pumpkin is just delightful!! I do my best work in my pjs too.
Your dishes look amazing with all of their happy colors! I love how you take away the traditional and make it your own.

Love the blue pumpkin! I enjoy pajama days now and again. With winter coming I am sure I will have plenty of them. Charming plates.
Blessings~
What gives me joy ?
Blogging and reading all the wonderful beautiful inspiring blogs ... visiting from my couch ....
I just found a beautiful song on youtube
I heard it somewhere and it hit me and I did not konow the title nor the artist .
And yet I found out ....yeah !
It's double special because I have not been a music/songs person for so so so so long . Far too long ever since my heart was broken I could not bear music ......
The song is called ALWAYS ON YOUR SIDE by Sheryl Crow and Sting .
Why do I tell you this ?
Oh because this is what I was up to ....
Keep an eye on your mailbox ! not the email-one ! hugs
So pretty pics, hope you´ll have a great day! :-)
I love weekends like that where you can be in your pj's and just create and be happy. I love the pumpkin painted in turquoise chalkboard paint!
hugs to you for a wonderful and joyful week.
xoxo
You do have some gorgeous plates, the best place for them is on the wall to be admired :) have a great week :)
Bee happy x
Have a delicious day!
as always, truly inspiring!!! LOVE your "charming plate collection"!
Happy Monday!

What a lovely weekend indeed! Ours consisted of painting the kitchen, washing windows, doing laundry. Not too creative, but productive which also feels quite nice!
xo and sorry I've been a stranger!
PJ's, turquoise chalkboard paint, and pretty plates - what more could a girl ask for on the weekend. My weekend was cooking for company and a visit to the Chinese Gardens for more photographs.
i’m all for doing more of what makes us happy... very good advice indeed. (gosh that blue pumpkin is cute!)
xo sandra
really cute post! I LOVE those plates :)
peace & joy to you on this fine fall day!
You are so utterly charming ♥
Love the pumpkin! There is so much that gives me joy I can't list them all. At the top of my list is just sitting beside my sweet husband of 41 years and knowing how very fortunate I am to have "landed" him all those years ago!!!
what gives me joy? Pinterest! addicted!

(shallow, I know)

Hi Koralee!
I just enjoyed the last of our peanut butter wafer cookies {spied your strawberry ones in the sidebar} ... they were a "blast from the past" cookie package that hopped in my shopping cart and had to come to my cookie jar!
Do you have those moments at the grocery store?
Happens all the time with me!
Love your colors today ~ turquoise, cream and pink! The plates are gorgeous! How they must make you smile. It's the little things!
I spent the weekend cozy and relaxed too... baked all afternoon Saturday, until our evening church service and relaxed Sunday with family.
Have a wonderful week dear friend,
~ Maria ~
Enjoy a happy week darling....love from me...xxx...
The blue pumpkin is gorgeous, and that must be the prettiest selection of plates I've seen in some time Koralee.
Love your teacup bulb idea too. Can't wait to see a photo of them when they bloom. So nice to use pretty china in unexpected ways. xx
LOVE YOUR TURQUOISE PUMPKIN, YOU HAVE BEEN VERY BUSY THIS WEEKEND, BUT ALSO ENJOYING IT........
NOW THAT'S THE WAY TO GET TIRED. RIZZI
Gorgeous post my dear!
What gives me joy: walking on the beach and watching the sea at sunset. Eating chocolate, drinking Champagne, hearing my children laughing, the scent of a fresh rose, meeting an old friend, hugging my husband, remembering why I married him, having something to look forward to!
I love your china plates and v clever blue pumpkin!
x x x x
Oh how I long for a "pj weekend" doing fun things around my house! I love your blue pumpkin ... you always have the cutest ideas!!! xoxox
Redesigning my blog this week has given me a lot fo joy. I'm surprised by how much I've loved fiddling with it all! Em x
Love that you step out of the box and make it your own ~ like a blue pumpkin!
Hello,
This blue pumpkin is great!
Gabriela
Oh that pumpkin looks so sweet! I am looking for pumpkin decorating/carving ideas and this one is so lovely :)
Oh precious Koralee,
I just got home about an hour ago and I am loving being quiet, here with YOU and all the other dears that I love so. Oh Koralee, the work place is getting more crazy but what are we to do but do our best and smile....and laugh, and teach to our best abilities! HOW ARE YOU? Thank you for coming by because you were thinking of me....you are one of the sweetest people I know dear friend....have a good teaching day tomorrow my dear, Anita
Nice things for sure
I collect old plates...I like to think of the people who used to eat on them, and the conversations that went on around THEIR tables
always fun to stay in your pj's
today....well, it was a beautifull fall with WITHOUT any wind (which is a big plus around here) and walked down to my pond. Watched my dog play in the water and the geese swimmming around.
ahhh....very peaceful and beautiful. Crunching of fall leaves.
Drawing in my sketchbook....joy sheer bliss!
I love spending time in my Pj's....sipping coffee in the morning...and sketching at the kitchen table.
Ciao Bella Koralee!
Miss you.

I LOVE that blue pumpkin! I paint furniture. Its what I love to do. Only thing is, I've painted everything I have! Which is why I'm thinking of starting a business - painting other people's furniture. It's a win, win!

A blue pumpkin? I love it! It would match my house!
Hi Koralee,
I was coming over to see what my sweet pastel friend does with Halloween! Actually I was coming for some ideas for this pastel house. I guess i get to paint my pumpkin with whatever I want, HUH? Thanks. I think today will be pink pumpkin day!
Big hugs,

Love your turquoise pumpkin here! Must do some fall decorations as well before it's too late - my time flies by so fast - help! xx
It looks like you have been having a very festive fall! Chalkboard paint on a pumpkin is a brillant idea!

Hello my friend, yes my owls went very well. Have only one left out of 4! Will definitely make new ones very soon. So much fun to make them, these dear little frieds.
Your pumkin is so nice bleu!!! Love this color.

Love the pumpkin ;-)
I'd have to say the pansies in their pots with the springbulbs underneath their roots, smiling at me while I prepare meals or try that pancake recipe I've been wanting to try for so long, give me joy every day now and also something to look out to.
Bye,
have a wonderful end of the week,
Marian
