Happy Anniversary Coastal Charm...Year One

Five years ago I started something kind of random. It was called a BLOG. Did you know what a blog was back in August 2009? I didn't. My daughter Mary Claire introduced me to blogs. She had been following a blog for a few months and one day, she shared it with me. This got me surfing the net for more blogs and after a month or so, I was hooked!!! So, one day out of the blue, I told my husband, hey honey, I think I might just try this blog thing. I had no idea what I was doing (sometimes I still don't), but on August 31, 2009, I hit the publish button and Coastal Charm was born! I am amazed that so many of you have been here with me since the very beginning. I never in a million years, would have ever thought that my blog would be where it is today. I still remember the first time a reader recognized me in public, it was such a big surprise to me. The best thing that I have gained from my blog is, all the friendships that have been formed. Nothing is better than that! Thank you so much to all of you who come back day after day. If it wasn't for y'all, there would be no blog. So, let's do some reflecting and celebrate, the past five years, here at COASTAL CHARM!!
                                                 Blessings,
                                                    Linda

                                Welcome to Coastal Charm in 2009!!
                              
                               
                                 Things have been moved around
                                 a few times...hard to believe, huh?

                            Oh my, I forgot I still have this vintage blouse.

                                    My primitive hutch back in 2009.

                     Here, I posted about our farmhouse table that
                                 Mr.CC built back in 1995.

                                 We both still look a little bit like this.

                                           A storage idea.

                                     My beach Christmas tree.

                                  Some outdoor Christmas décor.

                        I haven't made this Baked French Toast
                         recipe in years, I kinda forgot about it.

                                   A rare snowfall we had
                                    here on the Alabama
                                            gulf coast.

                                  Enjoying one of my favorite flowers.

                             Hey honey, maybe it's time we install this tile.
                             After all these years, we still have this DIY
                             project on our...to-do list. Maybe 2014 will be
                                                       the year!!!!

NOTE...check back in this week to see pics from years 2-5.

Show and Share No.227

My goodness y'all, this summer is going by soooo dang fast! It's hard to believe that September is almost here. Does it seem to be going fast for you too? After all the high temps that we had here last week, I will say, I'm really looking forward to Fall and some cooler temps. So now, let's see what you have been up to, during these last days of summer.
                                                  Blessings,
                                                    Linda

Recap from last week...
                             Meet...Toe Mater!!! She is our new family
                                  member at Antiques at the Loop.

                           Just in at the shop, are these darling "cotton"
                           tees. When I saw these at market, I just knew
                           that my customers would love them, and so far,
                                I think I was right on target on these.

Look what caught my eye from last weeks party...
