We stayed in a sweet little cottage cabin style getaway with the water near by and wildlife stopping by for a visit each day. Mornings and evenings we enjoyed time on the water, long walks, fishing and just relaxing. Sitting on the porch and watching the day was so restful.
During the week I also took some time for Summer fest and antiquing. You know I would have to go shopping, right? It was like we had the town all to ourselves as the hot temps kept most people inside. I have to applaud the Summer fest artists as they braved the heat with their gorgeous treasures. I brought back some treasures for redesign and can't wait to start on those soon.
We also celebrated our son's August birthday, when we returned home, over the weekend and our anniversary to follow later this week.
Now, it is back to reality and back in the studio, where, you know, I love to be. One week without creating sends me into artistic withdrawal. So today, I am happy to be back in my element.
Here are some pics from our vacation week.
Just look at this huge part of a grapevine. Found by an artist in 2000, it remains on display in the City Hall.
Stopping to chat with this nice Victorian man. He didn't have much to say, but he was a good listener. LOL~
My B~Guy always brings me flowers. He gave me this pretty rose and mum arrangement for the table in the cottage, and as a little early anniversary gift.
Thank you for visiting today and also for stopping by the past post revisited while I was away. I look forward to seeing you soon and visits to my friends in blogland. I know I have missed much and will enjoy catching up with you.
In the meantime, I will be finishing many new treasures on the way to my shoppes and enjoying my studio time to the fullest.
Have a beautiful Summer day and blessings to you.

Looks like he had fun fishing... how cute Mr. Duck came to visit you each day! I love all of the beautiful ducks and geese... you look adorable chatting with the little Victorian gentleman... and your flowers from your Best Guy are just beautiful! I missed you, but knew you were having such a nice time getting away and relaxing... love to you! xoxo Julie Marie
Oh Celeste that little cabin looks wonderfully peaceful. How much fun to put all of your living into one little building for a short while. Happy to know you had a wonder relaxing time. Welcome back. Tazzy
Oh what a lovely place you got to vacation in. I am glad you had a great get-away with your sweetheart. Getting away always makes one feel better. I love the flowers he chose for you. So pretty! Kit
Oh Celeste, the cottage was so sweet and peaceful looking. I love lakes so much. We have many surrounding us. There is always such peace being by a lake. I am glad you and your guy had some down time to relax and enjoy the solitude.
Welcome home Celeste. The photos are fabulous and it sounds like you had a wonderful time. I can so relate to the withdrawl symptoms, I miss creating when I'm away too.
Happy Anniversary!
Warmest Hugs,
Sandi @ Bearly Sane

Sounds and looks like a totally lovely time. The cottage is so quaint and sweet. And the water...well, I LOVE water, whether it be an ocean, a lake, a river, or a pond.
Your flowers are lovely. What a dear hubby you have to brighten up your vacation cottage that way.
Have a lovely day,
Patti

Ciao Celeste, I have missed you! :) We both took our vacations it appears in August., mine actually started in July and ended this past Saturday. We were in the north though. Your pics are precious and totally gorgeous, each one. You'll have to visit me today, you'll get a charge out of the fact that I shared my August vacation snaps too! Hugs friend! ~CC Catherine (You'll love the outdoor porch built over a pond in the country where I grew up in one of my pics)
I'm happy to hear you had such a lovely time Celeste...loved all your photos and again, love seeing pretty you in the photographs. Keep smilin' and painting.
