Your home makes me feel like I have actually been on thr groud visiting and taking in all the rich ambience. What fun treasures you found on your trip. Your table will look beautiful when finish. <br />Enjoy a safe trip returning home and pray all is well there.<br /><br />~♥Beth at Auntieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01878533662208781834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-13737027450224465642010-08-18T16:58:12.004-05:002010-08-18T16:58:12.004-05:00Hi, I just started reading your blog :) I love you...Hi, I just started reading your blog :) I love your pictures of South Haven.

I couldn't eat for two days..made me totally sick. Ha. I surely laugh at myself now.<br /><br />Such soothing views!<br /><br />Hugs, BarbBarb https://www.blogger.com/profile/03410036713000396886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-60920467553973126692010-08-18T06:35:27.267-05:002010-08-18T06:35:27.267-05:00Hi Jane,

It sounds like you had a wonderful rest at your lake house. When you talk about it, I can picture the sunsets. When we lived in Canada we vacationed at Lake Huron, on the other side of Michigan. The sunsets took your breath away.<br /><br />Love the idea of painting that lamp. Can't wait to see the after photos.<br /><br />When you have two homes, you must always be torn between where you want to be. I think if I had a lake house I would surely not want summer to end.<br /><br />KarenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01487481759201796912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-86835658594719195842010-08-17T22:10:55.823-05:002010-08-17T22:10:55.823-05:00Love south Haven...

Although I live on a lake I have that feeling at the beach....just totally at peace! We have a Mr. and Mrs. Heron that live here with us. I love to see them standing on the end of the dock. They never let me close enough for a great photo though. I keep working on it!

I will always remember it as the first beach my youngest would walk on the sand & get in the water (he was a stinker & never wanted anything to do with it until then!!) Our Grandma's cousin still lives there & we love to visit her & her boys & their boats! Thanks for taking us along to see some of the sights we've missed (we'll have to keep them in mind when we visit again!)<br />Have a super week!The Summer Kitchen Girlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14705922236211577732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-62262670689074548482010-08-17T13:19:22.645-05:002010-08-17T13:19:22.645-05:00Hi Jane!

(I also left you a response on my post).<br /><br />I really enjoyed your photos of your little vacation, looked sooo fun and relaxing. I've always dreamed of having a home on beach and decorating it with a beachy theme! I loved the things you bought, and can't wait to see what "magic" you do with them at your lake home!! <br /><br />Have a wonderful day!<br />Hugs, Sherri:)Sharing with Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00966672285631604242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-74632275474735034082010-08-17T13:10:05.172-05:002010-08-17T13:10:05.172-05:00What a great town!

It was wonderful ~ and we all actually agreed that it was wonderful {from hubby to the teen daughter and pre-teen son at the time}.
