Happy Friday, friends! It's been a crazy week -- one of those weeks where everyone needed me for something as we prep for back-to-college/school around here. Gosh I hope I get it together in the next week or so! Anyhoo, today is all about the DEAL. Who doesn't love a good deal-- especially for wall decor?? I came across this deal a few weeks ago on Decor Steals (formerly WUSLU)... I could not have imagined a more perfect … [Read more...]
Thrifty Finds {Try Not to Hate Me}
July 27, 2012 by · 11 Comments
Gotta love a successful afternoon of thrifting at your local antique mall! On Tuesday, I was blessed to spend the afternoon with the lovely Charity from The Heartfelt Home. We enjoyed a delish lunch in downtown Roswell and strolled over to the Canton Street Antique Mall to poke around and see what we could find. I totally scored! See those wooden spoon display racks? Those will be incorporated into the wall art phase of my Ugly … [Read more...]
An {in}spired Finishing Touch (Front Porch Makeover)
July 25, 2012 by · 9 Comments
I'm a self-professed 90% girl when it comes to projects. I have a tendancy to get a home project or room makeover about 90% complete and then I either run out of steam or get distracted by some other project I'm longing to get started on. One of my goals for this year was to finish what I start and I'm so proud to say I have completed my front porch summer makeover. I mean, it's only July 25th, right? :-) This is one of those posts where … [Read more...]
This ‘n That Monday {Great Deals and a Sneak Peek}
June 4, 2012 by · 7 Comments
The hubs and I got to experience some of the finest Southern hospitality last weekend when he played in a golf tournament at the Eufaula Country Club. I get so caught up in my immediate world of kids, teaching,house, booth, and blogging, I sometimes forget how fun it is to break out, tootle around and do nothing but socialize with nice folks for a couple of days. We enjoyed beautiful golf weather, incredible $4 Bloody Marys (here in ATL they … [Read more...]

It's been a while since I plugged my Willow House business, so I decided to share some of my favorite gifts from our Spring catalog today.

Remember you can order directly from my website and it will be shipped to you -- no party hostess business to contend with. :) So here you go... This Simone pitcher is … [Read more...]
Good Friday To You {This ‘n That}
April 6, 2012 by · 13 Comments
Easter is upon us, friends! I love what this holiday symbolizes: hope, new life, new beginnings. My dining room table is covered in supplies for various projects in the planning stages (can you say "crafter's ADD?"), so I did not do an Easter tablescape this year. Well, that and I've been obsessed with getting my kitchen finished up. Last year I pulled this one together quite simply, so you can read all about it HERE. Someday I'll be … [Read more...]
Shopping on Saturday…
February 3, 2012 by · 5 Comments
Yes, one of the things I love about January is that it's much easier for me to find time to shop. You know, prowl around a little, scope and dig for a deal... that kind of shopping. Not the sprint-into-Target-with-your-milelong-list-and-only-20-minutes kind of shopping. Last weekend, I stopped into Queen of Hearts Antiques (Marietta) and Old Time Pottery. And I hit the jackpot for under $35 TOTAL. Remember my hotel silver piece I … [Read more...]
An {in}spired gift idea!
November 28, 2011 by · Leave a Comment
I love discovering a wonderful gift idea, especially this time of year. Gifts for the home are gifts that keep giving and will delight the recipient each time they see it. One of my favorite new gifts this year is this wooden pedestal from Dayspring. This pedestal is sooo substantial!! It stands almost 14 inches tall and the pedestal bowl is 13 inches across. It's a magnificent statement piece. I loaded fresh fruit in it immediately and … [Read more...]
Shop Small Saturday
November 26, 2011 by · 1 Comment
Hi, friends! I stayed away from shopping yesterday, as we were travelling and then hosting a dinner party {don't ask}. I must confess, I felt not one urge to be in the midst of the Black Friday Madness! Today, however, as I crawl out from under a mountain of emails and try to take in some college football (Go Dawgs! War Eagle!), I am planning to do a little shopping small, too. I hope you support your local and online businesses, today and … [Read more...]

Today is your lucky day!! Mine was last spring when I won a giveaway from {simple starfish} and I "met" Christine.
