Time for another update on my Ugly Duckling Dining Room as part of our Blogging Without Borders challenge! And this dining room is indeed having its Season of Change!

My Thursday Gig and a Peek at the Mom Cave
August 9, 2012 by · 3 Comments
Did you know I have a regular Thursday gig? You can find me at FancyLittleThings.com every Thursday where I blog about home and garden with snippets of faith thrown in. I love my space over there, because my talented editors Aimee and Danielle come up with theme for each month. My challenge is to blog within my niche (for the most part) while addressing the theme of the month. July was "Beside Restful Waters" and I had fun with that, … [Read more...]

While there are some really gorgeous new pieces in the Fall catalog, I was also pleased to see the return of some customer favorites.

More Thrifty Finds {Can’t Stop Myself}
August 6, 2012 by · 13 Comments

The onslaught of check-writing has already begun (those of you with school age children know of what I speak!), so funds were limited, but I scored some super fun deals anyway. :) Paint projects galore!! And check out those wooden mill bobbins. I have … [Read more...]

July’s Favorite Things
August 1, 2012 by · 13 Comments
I have no idea where the summer has gone. But I'm pretty clear on where I have gone! Hmm... Lake Blue Ridge GA (twice), Lake Rabun GA, Eufaula AL, Destin FL, Huntsville AL, and Albany GA. Lotsa travel, people. The hubs likes to pick up and go. :) We've had a busy summer and it's already winding down... soon I'll be brushing up on my curriculum and brainstorming bulletin boards for my classroom. Yikes! This week it's all about the boys... … [Read more...]
