MY BEST SUMMER FINDS FROM AMAZON
Summer is here and I thought I would share some of my favorite summer Amazon finds.
I was seriously sick of losing my phone when I don't have pockets. I found this crossbody phone sleeve, which I use at home and on the go. (no more looking around the house for a lost phone)
This pretty floral pattern was perfect for me, but there are other patterns and solids to choose from.

NEW TEES AND SKIRT IN A BAG
I have been frantically searching for 3/4 sleeve tee shirts for over a month.
They seem to be quite hard to find and although I had found some, they were quickly sent back.
Too tight, too thin,.....Well, you get the picture.
I was getting frustrated and tired from the whole search.
Macy's has 3/4 sleeve tee shirts that I love, but they sold out earlier this spring and I missed out on them.
Just when I was ready to throw in the towel I decided to give Macy's another look and low and behold they had new 3/4 tees.
I purchased three colors black, white, and blue and when they arrived they were perfect.
Since I purchased mine they have added a purple color.

NEW BOOK AND NEW SHOES
Summer is an excellent time for reading.
Recently I shared some of the books I have been reading in my comfy reading corner.
“Absolute aces...Quinn’s imagination and adventuresome spirit are a pleasure to behold.” —The New York Times
As Cristabel grows into a headstrong young woman, World War II rears its head. She and Digby become British secret agents on separate missions in Nazi-occupied France—a more dangerous kind of playacting, it turns out, and one that threatens to tear the family apart."

OVER 50: NEW CLOTHES FOR SUMMER
I am not a big shopper but my seven-year-old, at least, tee shirts were really getting on my last nerve.
Seriously, there was a time in my younger life when I loved fashion, loved to shop, and even owned a clothing boutique.
Somehow life got in the way and fashion was relegated to a back seat.
Need new clothes, but where in the world would I start?
This month has been good for me on Etsy (thank you shoppers) so I had a bit of extra cash to spend.
I started by buying a couple of shirts and pants on a significantly discounted site called Temu.
In all honesty I was concerned about the quality, but they turned out great.
This cute plaid shirt is adding some color to my wardrobe.

SMALL ADDITIONS TO MY LIVING ROOM CHAIR
On Tuesday I wrote about how I am working on my apartment to make it more comfy for me.
I started by arduously finding a new place for my record player.
There are a lot of other things I need to do, but I thought I would share some small things I am doing or have done.
This is the chair where I spend a lot of my time.
I have had this chair and its ottoman for quite a while and I hope to replace it with a recliner. (That will be a large change)
There were definitely some changes that I needed to make for the chair to work better for me.
I know that the weather is warming up, but I get cold in the air conditioning so I like to have a nice throw.

RELOCATING THE RECORD PLAYER
I have decided that since I may live the rest of my life in this small apartment I want to make it as comfortable as I can.
Saturday I decided to get a start on that by finding a new place for my record player.
I love listening to my old vinyl records and wrote about it here.
I actually have two record players, but the one I listen to the most is the one pictured above and it has been in a somewhat awkward corner of my dining area.
It was difficult to sort through the records to choose what I wanted to listen to.
Finding the right spot proved to be more difficult than I thought it would be and I actually lugged that heavy record player into four places before I found the perfect one.
I had to move out all of the records and set the record player aside in order to move it.
The table itself is very light so that was the easiest part.
I also had to move things out of the places that I thought I might want the record player to be.
Once I set the record player on the table on the first three places I realized they wouldn't work.
Yikes, I can remember when I could move heavy furniture around.
Once I pushed the settee back about six inches I had the perfect place.
Now it is close to my chair and I can sit on the settee to sort through the records.
I am very happy with it.
Of course, moving the record player led to other things being relocated and I will share those later.
I think the problem with your comments not being sent to my email has been resolved and I can once again answer them.

FEATURED SPACES AND MORE 3/14/2023
How is the weather where you are?
After an unseasonably warm February here in Atlanta things have cooled off a bit.
However, as much as I hate having winter in March, the highs are still in the fifties and low sixties.
Last Thursday when I was driving across the city to spend the afternoon with Cary and my granddaughters I couldn't believe how beautiful everything was.
It was like a painting of purple wisteria, pink and white trees, colorful tulips, and green spring trees.
I would have loved to take some photos, but unfortunately, it was a rainy afternoon.
This week I decided to feature some spaces with spring flowers.
Even if it isn't quite spring where you are flowers indoors can certainly make it feel like spring has arrived.
Featured Spaces
What could be more wonderful in your spring home than a large basket of tulips and a pitcher of pink tree blossoms?
Ania at mojeaniutkowo has added some pink flowers in a rustic pot to her spring bed for a simple spring look.
What I Am Up To
This is my next puzzle. Yes, I know it is a fall theme, but by the time I get finished, it might be fall. Ha!!
