♥ my short, sassy, sexy hair
♥ my "Hot for Chocolate" nails
♥ my gladiator sandals
♥ my espadrilles (first pair I've eva' owned and found on sale for $12.99)
♥ late summer sound of cicadas
♥ the cardinal who "lives" outside my window and sings me awake every morning
♥ my Bodum french press coffee maker
♥ all the boho tops I found on vacation (these two from Unity World and Nicole Miller)
♥ biscuits!!
♥ homemade sangria
an easy recipe given to me by a friend years ago. I love that it's simple and easy and delightful! Perfect for sipping on a hot day while reading and enjoying the breeze or to share with friends.
2 cups red wine
2 cups white grape juice
2 cups sparkling water
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tbsp. lime juice
garnish with oranges and limes.
♥ Nars make-up
♥ the wrist cuff bracelet I bought in Pawley's Island, S.C. (I'm just noticing that if you look closely at this photograph you'll see a "brown" indentation in the middle of my hand near the wrist...it's the spot that was used quite a few times for the IV for my chemo and that indentation happened 4 years ago...)
♥ all the new music I discovered I liked while ridin' in the car (click on any of the band names to be taken to a corresponding you tube video):
♥ Death Cab For Cutie
♥ and this Death Cab
♥ new AC/DC
♥ Nickelback (it makes me bat-sh&* crazy!)
♥ Hard-Fi
♥ Audioslave
♥ The Trews
♥ Linkin Park
♥ Arcade Fire (Where the Wild Things Are should be awesome!)
and every time I hear any of this music it will immediately send me back to a wonderful adventure with my son as we drove our way down and back up through the United States.....
♥ being a survivor...and the beautiful bracelet created for me by my breast soul sistah LuLu who is the heart and soul behind Coastal Sisters both on their website and at her etsy shop. I was simply blown away when LuLu told me she was making this bracelet for me...no reason, other than that she has a kind heart and wanted to give me something to make my survivorship even more special. You can't really see it from the photograph and it was hard to get with the camera, but the little circle disc says "survivor". I can't even begin to thank her enough for this and LuLu knows how grateful I am and how blessed I feel. ♥
What are you ♥ right now?
*edited to add this: for those who want to know how to create a heart in a post, it's quite simple. Do this -- but leave no spaces in between. It will look plain when you type it, but when you print you will have a heart.
& hearts ; and as I said, no spaces between, just run it all together. Voila, you will have ♥

I'm right here - reading your blog and loving it! Have checked out some of the music, want some of those boho tops, noted the Sangria recipe and love the bracelet. You're keeping me very busy on a Monday morning!
Cute summer sandals - and i do LOVE the nail colour !!
The bracelet is a wonderful poignant gift - and will go with whatever you wear - lucky you !!
i`m loving - my local park - sat on a bench and watching the world go by .. just picking our cherry toms off the vine and eating them .. Listening to U2 `s - A beautiful day - every day for the past week , the line - what you don`t have you don`t need it now - makes me grateful for what i have right now .
Yes - i do know what Hooters means !! ;o) So does M ...
Wonderful post! Loved it all. The bracelets are grand, the shoes -wonderful. Thanks for the Sangria recipe and I'll have to check out the music. Have a wonderful day!
What you are right now is just beautiful, my friend ! From your sexy chocolate toes to wrists full of bejeweled power... beautiful !
Happy Monday !
At this very instant, I am loving your blog and this post. I particularly love your zest for life and appreciation for all the little things that can bring one delight. Maybe I'll borrow a page from your blog, and after a bit of a think, will post what I'm loving today too. Thanks Sherry Lee. (I don't know how to include your heart in your name!)
Neat stuff Sherry, and did you cut your hair short? Have I missed something? Do show us :)
I love the sandals with the studs and that polish looks great on your toes.
I am loving my vanilla hazelnut coffee right now and my puppy, also being able to have the patio doors open :)
Hi Sherry,
I am loving everything about "late summer". Also, how did you get the heart in your name? totally cool. Your 'Chocolate' nails are SO hip, I would love to see your hair too.
Great post, I will try out the Sangria recipe... What a beautiful bracelet. I have a pendant/ring like your 'survivor' one that says 'strength' that was also a gift and I wear it often (on a chain around my neck).
Thanks ♥
thank you for the reminder to take a breath and consider the many subtle things that make me happy.
Love what you are right now. Looks like you came back from your vacay all refreshed with a new perspective.
The bracelet from Lulu is so awesome. She's such a sweetie.
I'll have to try the heart thing. Not sure I understand....but it's cute.
Hugs
Charlie
Thanks for sharing all of those photos. I love the bracelets and the shoes and everything really.
♥ my animals
♥ my sons
♥ my new hair
great post, I'll try the sangria. Are the hearts part of your design? (tried it on my blog, but of course it didn't work:))

This post lifts my spirits so I can't even imagine what it does for you.
Love it all --
What a fun upbeat post. And thank you for the sangria recipe!
Dearest Sherry~
I am so glad you love your bracelet.
I am loving the fact that I have YOU as my Sister in Survivorship :)
LuLu~*xoxo
p.s. We have matching "dents"...mine is in the same place from my butterfly needles from Chemo :)
A beautiful collection, much to admire and covet!
Thank you so much for supporting me!!!
I am glad you enjoyed my words I kept them so I can at least go back to them. I have lots of places to process and talk about things I don't shut down.
I really got lots of love and affirmation from it...you were a big part of it. So I felt it served it's purpose for me anyway!!!
