Tales of The Traveling Tote #20, Come September

 

Welcome to another adventure of the Traveling Totes

Before we get started please keep in mind all those in Florida and the Southeast that are being impacted by Hurricane Dorian…my family is sending many prayers as we appear to be out of harm’s way this time, but have been in the path far too often…

Join me and my fellow toters as we share our latest experiences

with our MacKenzie-Childs tote bags

 

 

 

 

My tote, Miss Coquille, and I travel all the time…

Doesn’t that sound glamorous?

Except for the fact we always go to the same 2 destinations

😂

 

 

 

 

I’m really pretty much of a “homebody”

 

 

 

 

Most of my traveling is back and forth between my 2 homes

One in the suburbs of “the city”

One on the beautiful Alabama Gulf Coast

 

 

 

 

I was in the “city” for most of August and it was HOT!

🔥

 

 

 

 

It was cool inside Seasons 52 though,

where the Alabama Chapter* of the Traveling Totes met for lunch

*{Emily, Ricki Jill & I}

 

 

 

 

Besides spending time with friends,

I have been keeping my eye on progress at DD’s house

My daughter and son-in-law are rebuilding from the ground up!

I hope to share an almost finished home in December

Fingers crossed they can be in by Christmas

 

 

 

 

 

Most of the time Miss Coquille and I were keeping cool inside

Doing a little early fall decorating

 

 

 

 

Lots of sunflower fun

 

 

 

 

 

Inside and out!

 

 

 

 

 

MacKenzie-Childs bees are buzzing around faux sunflowers in the foyer

 

 

 

 

 

These MKC queen bee picks are adorable and they are actually affordable!

 

 

 

 

A dried flower wreath {Target} surrounds the base of the vase

Burlap and black and white checked leaves {Hobby Lobby}

and small sunflower blooms fill the tray and dot the plates

 

 

 

 

 

I guess you could say I’ve been enjoying a “Staycation” this month!

 

 

 

 

 

Doing my favorite things,

Painting

Today you’ll find me back on the coast

enjoying family time with the people I love the most!
