A Note from Tina | № 13

Hello Sweet Friends! 
Welcome to 'A Note from Tina', a monthly collection of recent posts, shopping, interesting finds from fellow bloggers, and  life here at Maples & Stone Home.


Life Lately 

Wow, Did this summer go by fast or what? Labor day marks the unofficial end of summer.  It's hard to believe it is this weekend! Where did the time go? 

Of course there are many that have started decorating for fall/halloween ... but I just can't, it's to darn early! Have you started fall/halloween decorating yet? 

Our grandson (middle school) and granddaughter (elementary school) started mid-August. "D" our oldest grandson is in his second year of college. How many of you remember when school started the day after Labor day?

DH and I took a short trip to my daughter's in Florida to drop off the furniture she inherited from my mom. It was a nice little break. It's so peaceful in the morning and evening on their back porch. 

So, any big plans for Labor day weekend?  Not sure what we'll be doing 🤔, probably work on some projects.



I've fallen behind on editing my posts, so please bear with me! 

This and That on the Web

  • Have you ever heard of a Blackberry Shrub? It's an old fashioned drink that sounds yummy! 

What I Bought:

Right now I'm searching for pillow covers. I know what I want but haven't found them yet. (sigh, so frustrating) 
I have bought a few things but haven't received/ used them yet. 

We had to put Sarge to sleep this past weekend 😪 He was almost 15yrs old and having a lot of health problems. 

August Posts (in case you missed them) 

Y'all have a safe and fun Labor day weekend! 


Until next time!
