Saturday at Camp Kilowatt

I'm happily ensconced at the camp this weekend, relaxing and enjoying some beautiful Gulf Coast weather.  Hubby and I sat on the deck last night enjoying the magnolia-scented breeze while bidding the sun adieu.  Today we poked around antique shops in a nearby town, but that's as energetic as we got.


Usually Saturdays are link-up days to share Rainbow Scrap Challenge progress, but I've finished all my neutral blocks for April and just have a group shot of all of them.  I hope no one is disappointed I don't have a virtual bakery offering today, although I'm enjoying a Biscotti di Regina with my afternoon tea as I type this!  Please do stop by Soscrappy's website to see what the other Rainbow Challengers have been up to this week.


Our antique hunting trip was more hunting than finding.  One of our favorite antique malls was inexplicably closed today, so no treasures were to be found there.  I did find a few small things, so we weren't completely unlucky!  This cute Tetley Tea tin caught my eye as I thought it would fit in well at the camp.

For now, its new home is on the entryway table Hubby built.  The pitcher belonged to my paternal grandmother and the tray in the background is an antique mall find decorated with (you guessed it!) sunflowers.  The shorebird was a camp-warming gift and the candleholders are selenite.  

There are some wonderful smells drifting up from downstairs where Hubby is cooking up some baby-back ribs.  I think we'll be dining al fresco this evening - got to enjoy every bit of marvelous weather before the relentless heat and humidity of summer set in!
