August is a big vacation month here. The Atlantic Ocean has warmed up making it a more desirable month for beach lovers. I love it June, July or August, and really, September is the absolute best.
The summer people are gone, and usually the weather is terrific, and the sky its bluest..
But until THEN...I am enjoying NOW....

Please join Mary at Little Red House for more entries to her meme...
I am also joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Metamorphosis Monday....
For my mini metamorph I introduce you to BARry....a portable BAR for your potent potables..
For a small crowd...just open one side..
Larger crowd?? Make it larger...
Roll it around, take it outside ( don't leave it there though!)
From the back...
Yep, those are some of my dishes stashed there,
and..
a drawer full of egg cups at the ready for the crowd who will drop in for soft boiled eggs..:)
And here is Barry closed up, and tucked back into the corner..
Would you like a drink???
Please stop in at Susan's for some real metamorps..
Thanks to both Susan and Mary for hosting these events...
Thanks for visiting!
(Please keep letting me know if you get bumped off my blog for that #@$%#!!!! dating service..I am working on it) It just happened to me again...the email listed for them came back, I have a phone number that Lori traced to a land line in Colorado..thanks, Lori!)
WHEW..I NEED a drink after trying for 4 times to get thru that damn dating service thingy. Amazing that this can happen to your personal blog. It is almost like a virus of sorts. Sure hope you can get it fixed.
ReplyDeleteNOW..that little portable bar is awesome. I love that!! Perfect for entertaining your family and friends.
I love that drawer full of egg cups, you cute thing!!
Have fun with your new Barby!!
This is my main blog.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful collage of beach scenes. I love the big waves and the blue skies. We have the Pacific Ocean, and sometimes its misty! Enjoy!
Oh, I love your beach mosaic, Kathleen! I usually go to Florida in early November...wonderful! Beautiful weather, low rates, no crowds! Ahhhhh! And I am chuckling a Bar-y!! How handy is that! and I'll have a soft-boiled egg, please! lol Happy week!...Debbie
ReplyDeleteBeautiful beach scenes!Love spending time at the beach!
ReplyDeleteI like your beach mosaic. It's very pretty. Wish I was on the beach now.
ReplyDeleteThe blues in your beach mosaic are so Beautifully BLUE! I know that doesn't make sense but Wow, the colors just don't seem real.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have met Barry before - what a neat accessory to have for entertaining.
No problems for me getting here.
Oh the beach mosaic looks so beautiful & refreshing! & such beautiful blue skys :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteI want a BaRry! I can think of so many uses for him. I've never seen anything like it. Great find!
Hope you are having a super summer!
Nola@The Bloom Girls
That is such a cool bar. I can't say that I have ever dropped in for an egg at someone's house....maybe a crepe?
ReplyDeleteI was kidding, Gwen..I fill up any empty drawers, closets, etc with my dish stash...But you never know when a whole crowd will show up wanting eggs..:)
ReplyDeleteThe beach/ocean photos are gorgeous. I can hear the ocean just thinking about it! The bar is quite useful, isn't it? What a great addition to any family room. I'm sure it will get used a lot. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteLove the little bar just adorable!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Linda
I like BARy best opened up for a party!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteI didn't think about adding a grab bar, but will now give it some thought. Thank you for the suggestion!
Nola
Hi Kathleen !
ReplyDeleteSo, you aren't running a dating servie ?? I thought it was odd..I just closed it down and put you back up again....weird......
Love the bar/island -so cool ! I love that you can adjust the size !

I really, really, really want a nice bar. I found a picture of one and suggested to my husband that he could make it and he laughed.
ReplyDeleteRight now our liquor is above the fridge in the cupboard. I think it is up there because I am only five feet tall and can't reach it. Once again he laughed.
What nice inviting white sand. I agree September is the best month.
Boy, Kathleen, you stash those dishes everywhere :) I love the beach mosaic, such blue skies, where'd you find those with all the rain we're getting, must have been yesterday :) I love your beach pics! So much nicer than Jones!
ReplyDeleteWhat a smart little bar!
ReplyDeleteMaya@Completely Coastal
Love the mosaic! And Barry is so Very Handsome :-) What an ingenious piece!! I'd be a sucker for that. Have you had it forever? And yet again..I have entered your blog unscathed!
ReplyDeleteThat's a really neat bar! So versatile....Christine
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun day at the beach! And your "transformer" furniture is awesome! Have a great week!
ReplyDelete~Really Rainey~
Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteI want to be where you are, enjoying that beautiful beach. That little bar is just amazing, so handy and versatile! Cindy
Really enjoyed your pictures! The bar is pretty innovative and lots of fun! Have a grand day! Cathy
ReplyDeleteWhat handy and versitle piece! Perfect for so entertaining. Love how it can expand to accommodate more guests! Love the summer at the beach collage!

Beautiful mosaic. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteAh, the BEACH! My friend lives in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware so we get to visit often and I love it there.
ReplyDelete~ ~Ahrisha~ ~
I love your collage. Such beautiful ocean photos!
ReplyDeleteJane
BEAUTIFUL mosaic ... I never tired of seeing your gorgeous ocean and bay pictures.
ReplyDeleteBARry ... how handy and clever is that. Why am I not surprised that egg cups are stashed in your bar!
Barry is fabulous. Ready to dispense drinks . . . and eggs! Pretty and useful too, gotta love it.

OK now I am feeling left out -- the dating service clearly is not interested in me!
ReplyDeleteYou know I LOVE the beach and water mosaic. We have been trying for several weeks to get out East, I thought we'd get there next weekend but old friends of Howard's called and are on their way from Atlanta to Cape Cod and want to stay overnight with us . . . so that's another weekend we need to stay at home.
I think we'll see the East End in September at this rate, and you are right -- the fall IS the best time!
LOVE your BARry -- and I'm coming to your house if you use EGG CUPS as shot glasses!
Cass
Your metamorphasis looks great~ well done. I love Barry! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day!
Hey there - love the Bar, that is pretty cool! I could use some time at that beach right about now too, given how lousy our summer has been so far.
ReplyDeleteI love portable storage that can be tucked into any room. Great addition!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Love the portable bar such a great idea for entertaining, nice amount of storage too!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen, Thanks for coming by from Lori's. I get a kick out of her all the time- but yeah, she's way too far away from us! Where did you go to school in OH? Love your mosaic and that bar! I have so much glassware after my last weeks' purchase that I would need way more room that Bar-ry has to offer! LOL It is neat, though- a roll away bar. Your food posts made me hungry, and I just got back from lunch! I will be back to visit more again. :-) Sue
ReplyDeleteWonderful beachy collage! My very favorite kind and exactly the theme I chose for today as well!
ReplyDeleteRobin
How clever is that portable bar Kathleen?
ReplyDeleteHow fun that you were able to meet Alma in person....I bet y'all talked tables the whole time! LOL
I love your two B's. Beach and Bar. Pass me a cosmo please while I sit out on the deck and catch some rays in my itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini:)
ReplyDeleteJoyce
Love your beach and portable bar Kathleen!
ReplyDeleteIt is so hot here I need somethin' cool. Wish I was there on your lovely beach sippin' a margarita!
ReplyDeleteI loved your post.
Thanks for sharing and coolin' me off!
Have a Blessed Week,
Sherry
The beach pics are beau - such a pretty blue!
ReplyDeleteAlso the BARry is fantastic - that would come in handy during the summer or anytime actually!!
Hi Kathleen! I did just get bumped off and it happened to me once before. How annoying for you. I hope you can get it to stop. Love your mosaic and that rolling cabinet is fabulous. Yes I'd like a drink, please...
ReplyDeletecool

ReplyDeleteYour beach mosaic is so pretty, and I'm thinking I've got to find one of those portable bars. What a great piece of furniture. laurie
