We had a soggy weekend here... Not a total washout, but my hopes of getting poolside were dashed by the to do list and off and on storms and showers. The upside? I got my DIY back on and finished a book. Among other productive things like back to school stuff and getting the college kids somewhat situated. So today's a great day to share some snippets of what's going on... I just finished Save the Date by Mary Kay Andrews. She's become one … [Read more...]

Whew -- made it to Friday! Re-entry was a beast this week after my awesome weekend in NYC and today I'm prepping for a quick trip to the Gulf Coast for the first part of our spring break.

My Latest Thrifty Finds

Well, it would seem the Atlanta Metro area has learned a lesson. Schools were closed yesterday and today in anticipation of wintry weather yet again. And while yesterday wasn't such a big deal with just rain and snow mixed mess, at least the roads were kept clear to prepare them for last night's blast of snow and ice. We're hunkered down with an extra teenager or two (you knew that would happen), a full refrigerator, and wine. Unlike last … [Read more...]
Sponsor Spot Light: Shop Small Saturday!
November 29, 2013 by · Leave a Comment
It's no secret I'm a fan of small businesses... after all, I AM one! And I'm so pleased that all of my sponsors here on Decor & More are small businesses, too. Did you know small businesses provide 55% of all jobs and 66% of NEW jobs since 1970 (sba.gov)?? They have a direct impact on the economic health of our communities and I feel we all have a responsibility to support them. Now, don't get me wrong... I love a good sale, and it's … [Read more...]

Howdy hoo, y'all -- another busy week rocking and rolling around here!

As a small business owner, I am thrilled to see American Express and our communities once again recognizing the importance of small business in … [Read more...]
More Thrifty Finds {Can’t Stop Myself}
August 6, 2012 by · 13 Comments
Oh, well. My back-to-school schedule will soon severely curtail my thrifting, so I was guilt -free when I hit an outdoor flea market with my friend and booth partner Michelle on Friday. 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...]
