Hi there! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas surrounded by those you love! My family has scattered and the hubs and I are enjoying some (much needed) R & R at the beach for New Year's. I can't wait to share some photos of our adventurous Christmas soon! But as we head into the New Year, I thought I would share some from my trip to NYC with my daughter. The trip started as a reward for all her hard work, but turned into a rockin' … [Read more...]

Happy December, friends! Let the countdown to Christmas begin! I'm knee deep in Christmas decorating and enjoying it this weekend, but we must close out November properly.

Confession: the hubs left to go hunting on Sunday and I've pulled out the Christmas tree. I know. It's not even Thanksgiving yet. But I couldn't help it. I had teenagers idling the week away and the urge to get Christmas rocking and rolling over took me. It's not up yet. And it's not decorated. But it's been dragged out of the the storage area in my basement, ready to go at any moment. And then this morning I was convicted. For … [Read more...]

Can you believe it's November? Do you feel that clock ticking toward Christmas like I do?? Wow! This October was a jam-packed, fun-filled, stress-inducing month. Wonder what November will be like??? I'm scared. Hold me. Just kidding! But seriously, we were out of town quite a bit, running our legs off while in town, and hanging by a thread about the opening of the new antique mall where my booth will be. Oh, and out of town company … [Read more...]

My NYC photos are all edited and ready to share! It was such a great weekend... I thought I'd let the photos tell the tale. :) *Sorry to interrupt! This tree was salvaged from the rubble of the towers, nursed back to health in a conservatory, and then transplanted back to the memorial last year.

This ‘n That Friday

What a week. All I can say is T.G.I.F. My Little Crazies at school have been exactly that -- CRAZY. I'm not sure what it is about this group, but my assistant and I have had a hard time reining them in. Makes for some very loooooong days and a lot of evenings of being completely spent and brain-dead. Not good for creative juices! It's pretty clear most of my creativity will have to happen on the weekends this year! This weekend I'm … [Read more...]

It's tough to get on the pumpkin bandwagon when I'm still sporting bermuda shorts, flip flops, and sunscreen to the preschool. This week we've a bit of relief from the heat and some gorgeous 80 degree days with breezes... that's how fall eases into the South, y'all. And now I'm seeing Halloween posts and fall tablescapes all over blogland... and I STILL can't quite get there! I'm not seeing oranges or golds for my fall decorating this … [Read more...]
