This is the strangest “Happy Anniversary” post ever…

A whole bunch of randomness, pretty and not-so-pretty? 100%. These glimpses of June are the strangest anniversary post ever.

They are a little representation of the “for better or worse, in sickness and in health” vows we took 22 years ago today. We were just kids, really. Barely old enough to rent a car for our honeymoon. Definitely too naive to think ahead to the month when I would tear our entire house apart in desperately needed done projects only to be down a few days later with severe anemia, shingles, and migraines.

These images are just little glimpses and reminders that even on…especially on…the worst days, we are better together.

Also reminders that I married a very patient and compassionate man who also kept me laughing through it all. I am beyond blessed.

Happy 22nd Anniversary, @scruffyhuffy ! I love you.

Every coastal grandmother picture in this carousel features a favorite thrifted piece! While I’ve really been loving adding some @serenaandlily vibes to our home this year (and some fabulous S&L pieces we’ve bought on clearance or second hand), what I’ve enjoyed the most is mixing the old and new.

Including my favorite thrifted and vintage home decor along with new coastal cottage pieces is giving our home a fresh look…piece by piece…and I’m truly enjoying it!

Over on #thriftingwiththegals today, you’ll find amazing decor ideas from some of my favorite home decor bloggers.

I also shared my top 10 things to shop for at yard sales, in case you want to add any to your summer yard sale adventure list!

Even though my health situations have kept me from the beach so far this summer, it’s looking quite “coastal grandmother” inside our home and that is something to smile about for sure!

This week, I have a new blog post coming with some of my favorite home decor things to look for at yard sales. Sea shells and coral are definitely one of those and most of the pretty pieces in this arrangement are thrifted, including the concrete urn!

I still have one small section of the back dining room that hasn’t gotten decorated for summer yet, but otherwise, our coastal cottage has all the summer vibes and ever so slowly, one drawer at a time, I’m checking off some huge organizational projects for the summer too!

Thank you to the many of you who check on me so often; your prayers and kindness mean a lot! I’m slowly recovering from shingles and an overnight hospital stay to try and get severe anemia under control. I’ve literally HAD to rest, way more than I’d like to on summer break, but there has been so much good along the way and we have lots to be thankful for!

Over on my storefront, I have a carefully curated collection of coastal grandmother home decor in case you’re still decorating also. You can get the link in my stories!

I hope your week is off to a great start! Happy Tuesday!

Blessings,
Robyn

We’ve been working hard all week but now it’s time to play! Lake, cabin, boat, and family, here we come!

We are looking forward to a few lakeside days with my side of the family as a gift to my parents for their 50th anniversary!

Since I have been sharing organizing stuff all week, it’s time for some decor. So here’s a little mini summer home tour of some of my favorite views!

I hope you have a great evening and wonderful weekend!

Blessings,
Robyn
