hitting the Washington repeat button

Back to Washington state...
You know the saying, the more things change the more things stay the same. Well I'm livin' it.
After getting Mr. Produce situated in warm/sunny/hot/fun/family friendly Arizona,  I arrived back here in WA to rain/drizzle/below 55degree temps.
Yep, still the same back here.  Thank you summer.

To cheer me up I really have to work at it.
Today I count my blessings in the way of friends.
A really good blog friend from up here in the Seattle area - Shelly - paid me a visit and BROUGHT GIFTS!!!!! She stopped by my work- this JOY flag was the gift topper and a PERFECT item to keep on my desk
(by the way, my boss is always using the quote: Consider it all Joy)

mmm a beautiful 'Shell' crown, I LOVE CROWNS

and a cute little light, shells included- a little sand and it will be a beautiful to the outdoor table-- whenever i DO get to AZ.

 music heart & cone too
It totally made my day, and the joy on my desk is a reminder everyday of this wonderful friend.  Please stop by her place... she is going through some rough family times and needs all your thoughts and prayers!

AND as if that wasn't enough..,.
I won a beautiful prize off of The Blog Guidebook's  anniversary  MADE by  CrystalB  and this is her shop... if you are looking for a present  GO HERE she is very sweet and her creations are dreamy.  
These earrings are SO SO SO totally me, and my color

and Lauren the necklace would be perfect for your gray and yellow dress:

I've got to remember to see the rainbows in the clouds of rain!

remember remember remember remember remember
