We finally got some rain!!! I want to shout it from the roof tops! I am so tired of dragging sprinklers around and trying to keep everything alive.
What I'm even more tired of is the rain going all around us, but skipping us! Finally though one of the pop up showers actually popped up over us.
Luxie, enjoyed the moody cloudy light. With her dark and light contrast, I love her in moody light... Moody Luxie and Moody Light for Kitty Cats.
Does anyone remember when I said that I was going to start decluttering and start selling stuff on Ebay? Yeah that hasn't happened yet.
Not only has it not happened, if you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen my story from The World's Largest Yard Sale! Yes, instead of decluttering, I bought more stuff!
Since I've started posting cocktails twice a week, instead of just once, I wanted to find some more interesting barware. I did! I found some ice buckets and some nice vintage coupe glasses.
It's not all bad new on the decluttering front though. When we came back and realized we had no shelf room for the new glasses, we pulled out all the glassware, got rid of duplicates, chipped and glasses that we didn't like. Now we have empty space on our shelves (a very, very rare occurrence in this house!)
But really, I am vowing to turn over a new leaf. Get this house decluttered. Start selling some stuff. I'm having a sort of mid year, new year's feeling. Like I want to start fresh, reexamine those lofty new year's goals. I think it's the retired teacher in me, the start of a new school year always felt like a second new year. A chance to start fresh, new goals, new aspirations.
Anyone else have midyear bursts of goal achieving?
I used topaz labs on Luxies artsy photo.

Very pretty sweet Luxie! HA! We would probably buy more stuff too, hopefully in boxes. Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Thanks for hosting!
Posting cocktails with fun photos would definitely need the right barware. Luxie looks great, but a pretty kitty really in any photo.
Right!
Love those photos showing that deep thought Luxie. Dad has started organizing his library and is listing books on his old eBay account. He is hoping for some action but none so far. Darn
I am with you on the decluttering! I need to do that as I have so. much. JUNK!
Luxie is SO photogenic, her pictures inspire me to do better. I am not adventurous with my depth of field I need to go for it.
Go for it!
Luxie is beautiful in that light. I'm glad you're getting rain, it's such a gift in summer. I recently discovered Marie Kondo, long after everyone else did - MOL! It relaxes me to hear her talk about 'tidying'. Have I done it yet, NO - MOL!
I love her book, I read it when it first came out, but then didn't really act on it!
We are trying to declutter, but with so much even getting rid of half of it isn't enough. Mind you there is always room for more nip toys and somewhere cosy to sleep if you're a cat. 😉

Always room for kitty toys!
Luxie is so pretty. I get more motivated in the fall because it is my favorite time of year. I keep saying I want to declutter too, but never get to it. If your stuff makes you happy though, you should enjoy it.
Mine too!
Luxie looks gorgeous in ANY light!
Thanks Caren!
Love the moody light!
Glad you finally got rain. We had some too - but this is England so it's expected!
Luxie has a lovely profile, and the moody light accentuates it. I like the Topaz effect too, subtle and doesn't take anything away from the original lighting.
