I am joining for the first time the Cottage Charm Giveaway, hosted by Kim at One Woman's Cottage Life.

I am offering this beautiful and unique CHUNKY silvertoned cross pendant. This piece is loaded with bright tones of mainly aquas and lime greens with a splash of other shades as well. Perfect for a summer outfit. I have stacked over 100 beads and Swarovski crystals in different shapes and sizes onto a silvertoned metal cross. I then embellished it further with a silvertoned heart decorated with crystals and beads. This piece measures 3" wide x 2" wide x 1" high and weighs 4 ounces. This will arrive to you in a coordinating organza bag.

Kool-Aid is Kool!!

Who woulda thunk?

Original purpose: Quenching your thirst.

Aha! Use: Cleaning lime deposits and iron stains inside the dishwasher. Pour a packet of lemonade Kool-Aid (the only flavor that works) into the detergent cup and run the (empty) dishwasher.

Reward: Citric acid in the mix wipes out stains; you don't have to.

I ran my dishwasher with a few dishes in it (too lazy to take them out first) and my glassware was sparkling...better than I have ever seen them and I just had 2 packets of Lemonade Kool-Aid in it. I am impresssed!!

Target Birdies on Holiday!

This morning I woke up to the tune of "How Much is That Kitty In the Window"....only to find that Fred and Ginger had danced on into the sun room and was playing the piano!! How nice it was to wake up to such lovely music!

Once, they were done playing the piano, they flew out the door and rushed right over to the bird feeder and had some breakfast. Then, they went over to the front entrance where they found my container water garden and drank and splashed in the fresh running water to their hearts delight!

Then, it was off to visit friends for the day. They first stopped off at Dusty and Musty's to see how the new babies were doing. They were just born a week ago. After hearing they were doing great, they flew on over to Maggie and Harold's place to see what they were up to.

After a long afternoon visiting friends, it was time to go back home and feed their little ones and sit on their own nest for a while.

This has certainly been a very long day, so Fred and Ginger decided to take a dip in the hot tub and relax their aching feathers, then on over to take a well desrved nap in the hammock before heading back home to the little ones.

Fred and Ginger wanted to thank Between Naps on The Porch for hosting such a lovely vacation. It was long overdue and they needed a break!!
