A LITTLE TWEAK HERE, A LITTLE TWEAK THERE!

A week or so after the Fourth of July,

I put the patriotic decor away until September.

After all the fireworks 

I wanted to cool things down a little! 

Honestly it didn't work because it was 101 degrees

here today. Not sure about the index.

If cooling down the sideboard could help 

with the summer heat, I was going for it. 

I decided to go for all white, well, almost.

You know I have to have a little blue around.

Mr. Cockle Doodle Doo has been hanging around

here for a year now. You can read about him

I reused a lot of the same items. It is amazing

how just taking away the deep red and blue made

such a difference. The orbs are from my collection of blue and white. 

Playing around with the photos is something very new to me. Two years ago, I wouldn't believe such

photo manuplitation was possible.

My grandson was very helpful in introducing

me to photo editing.

The small milkglass bowls are vintage and available in our Etsy Shoppe. The candlestick was thrifted.

The hydrangea from the garden are struggling.

The second round of blooms are much smaller

than these beauties. I have had the white pitcher 

for some time. I use it a lot for flowers 

and occasionally for beverages.

The chicken was from HomeGoods and the

reticulated bowl with lid is from Hobby Lobby.

We don't have a Hobby Lobby in Savannah!

IS ANYONE OUT THERE LISTENING???????

Oh no, I am getting hot. Gotta cool back down.

OK, I'm ready.

Thanks for visiting the cooled down kitchen. 

Now, didn't that help those hot flashes. 

I don't charge for that.
