Dirt Road Adventures: Lazy Days Of Summer and Fall Planning
Happy Sunday, and welcome to Dirt Road Adventures! This is where we review all the exciting events behind the scenes, on the website, and the sources of inspiration I discovered online during the past week. This weekly recap ensures you don’t miss any of our adventures here at the end of our Dirt Road.
Hey friends, we’ve been at the beach all week and the longer I stay, the lazier I get. We had a small project to finish in our kitchen, but otherwise we’ve been relaxing.
One good thing about getting away and relaxing is it gives me time to think. So I have been planning my fall decorating and even thinking a little about my Christmas decorating. Since we are going to be traveling the first weeks of November, I feel I’ll need to start my Christmas decorating even earlier this year. Yikes! The weeks are flying by.
In other news, we did a little thrift store shopping. We visited a new vendor’s mall that recently opened in Carolina Beach. I didn’t bring anything home, but it will be a good spot to check in on a regular basis.
