I cannot believe it's already November! It seems like time just speeds up from year to year, doesn't it? Well, at least I got back on a semi-regular posting schedule. :) So just in case you've missed something from the last couple of months... I caught you up on my life lately back in September -- which was a whole lotta Legacy and getting my kiddos off and running on new adventures. You wouldn't believe how much those sweet peas in … [Read more...]
Country Living Fair Finds {Monday Eye Candy}
October 31, 2016 by · 1 Comment
The weekend sure flew by didn't it? I'm back today with a little eye candy for you in the form of my Country Living Fair finds! I was on a tight budget this year, but I picked up several fun gifts/stocking stuffers this year, along with a couple of decor items. For me it's more about the inspiration I collect at the Fair than the purchases, but I was tickled this year with what came home with me. As you can see, lots of small things -- … [Read more...]
Country Living Fair 2015

Well, that weekend flew by, but we had such a great time with our out-of-town friends! Sandy and I took in the Country Living Fair on Saturday and made a day of it. The weather was perfect -- overcast and mild -- for strolling between the vendors, enjoying some music and good food, and shopping like crazy. One of things I love about the CL Fair is that I always come away inspired! The Country Living folks and all of the vendors do such an … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed It (November)

Happy December! I have to confess I was tempted to skip my November recap today and jump straight into Christmas decorating and DIY -- this is one of my favorite times of year and I have a few cool projects in the works and loads of ideas for more. But, it didn't seem right to short-change the month of November. It was a good one! And I hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving holiday and were able to linger among your loved ones for a … [Read more...]
Five on Friday (Black Friday Edition)

Hello there!! Did you all survive your self-induced food coma yesterday? Oh my word... I didn't think I would. ;-) And the Aggies couldn't quite pull it out against LSU but there are more big games to come this weekend (War Eagle!). We've been in South Georgia with my in-laws and now are headed to nurse my sister-in-law post foot-surgery for a couple of days. Needless to say, I won't be out with the Black Friday crowds, but I did have … [Read more...]
New Discovery: Marietta Reclamation

Hi friends! Whew, I'm still recovering from a fun fun time in NOLA with my BFF and other assorted dear old friends. Don't you love it when you can pick up where you left off many years ago? And that may just have been the last of pretty fall weather I'll see for a while -- it's way too frigid today for November in Atlanta! And I'm fighting the urge to just crawl under my covers and call in sick. ;-) Anyway, thanks for all the sweet … [Read more...]
A Whole30 Update and a Little Christmas Eye Candy

Hey there and TGIF!!! Whew. I had quite the week in my classroom, but I'll save all those thoughts for another time. Today I'm jetting off to The Big Easy with my BFF for my 25 year reunion at Tulane! Woo hoo!! I haven't been to New Orleans since Katrina, so I'm anxious to see how it's changed. AND Tulane has a brand new football stadium so we've got some fun in store this weekend. You may or may not see some shenanigans on Instagram. … [Read more...]

Holy smokes, y'all... tomorrow is November! Yowza! If you follow me on Instagram, you know I had a busy week with the Little Ones -- Halloween is so much fun for them I always feel like I'm along for their ride, at least for a couple of days. :) Anyway, I enjoyed sharing a little randomness last Friday, so I'm thinking every so often I'll offer up a Five on Friday post, just for fun. I've been back on my painting and DIY'ing horse this … [Read more...]

Y'all. What a beautiful fall weekend we had for the Country Living Fair! It was just a fabulous and fun time all the way around. I had a sweet friend from out of town that joined me and I also got to meet up with local blogging friends and Country Living folks! I tried to snap pics of what was fun and catching my eye... Of course, our first stop was Cari's booth... that's her husband painting a piece with her new line of paints! I … [Read more...]
Shopping Around: Linden
September 18, 2014 by · 1 Comment
If you follow me on Instagram, you know I got started on a furniture painting project last week... and wouldn't you know it, I ran out of my clear wax halfway through. I wasn't comfortable switching to a different wax half way though a project. So I had to track down a local Annie Sloan stockist and that was not easy, even here in Atlanta! This turned into one of those "happy accidents" because in finding an Annie Sloan stockist I … [Read more...]
