Outdoor Livingroom
August 03, 2009
I love having an outdoor living room, although I will confess lately I am only enjoying it in the morning when it is still cool. Since we are stuck inside with rain much of the year, we are always looking for a chance to be outside.
On the weekends David and I like to sit out here before dinner and enjoy a mango slushy. The birdcage is a wonderful find from Angie (thank you xoxox), I set candles inside as great reuse. Next post I will share the garland, it is so easy to make xoxoxox
Greetings Clarice!
I am just finding your blog, though I have heard about it on many other's that I visit. How have I missed a fellow Washingtonian here on blogland? Anyway, just wanted to say hello and I am looking forward to visiting often!

How wonderful to have such a space to enjoy! I really like the birdcage idea; I have an old one in the basement and think I will try the candles.
Also, I have printed up the slushy recipe and can't wait to try it.
Thanks!

What a very serene place to pass some quiet time in the cool of the day. Move over, I'll bring my book.

Sigh...just look at that cosy spot in the shade, I could sit there all day. Enjoy the sun while you have it Clarice and send a few rays to England if you would as we haven't seen it for weeks!

LOVE !!!! A beautiful outdoor space !!! That is how I feel about mine. You can go out early when it's cool, then it's too hot during the day...then out if possible in the evening... That is why I am looking forward to Fall....still warm,yet cool enough to enjoy for a bit before the cold sets in. Thanks for sharing yours !! It is wonderful. Hugs, Mica

I love it, too! I just put a big bird cage in my kitchen...maybe it needs candles! Yours looks great!

Dear Clarice,
How lovely - it is so bright and cheerful and best of all - in the shade!!! Hopefully with cooling temps coming soon, you will be able to be out there more often!
Take care!
Love,
Nadine
