Greetings, friends! I hope you're enjoying this Christmas week... it is always one of my favorite times. The hub bub has died down and I can regroup, rest up, watch football and get organized for the new year. How about you? I need it more this year than ever. 2016 just about plowed me under -- so. much. happening. And while I make a point of choosing joy on a regular basis -- and there was plenty of that! -- there have also been some … [Read more...]
Country Living Fair 2016

Monday, Monday... that alarm clock was tough to handle this morning and I'm not feeling so hot, but -- onward! I had a full weekend of Country Living Fair, college football, house cleaning, church, and porch decorating and then a Legacy board meeting last night ... whew! We finally have a touch a chill in the air (hope it lasts!?!) so it's easy to embrace the wonderful that is fall at last. I hit the Fair on Friday as promised and it did NOT … [Read more...]

Happy Friday, friends... it's been a busy week and I'm headed to the fair today -- the Country Living Fair, that is! I'm so excited to get some inspiration and hopefully get a head start on some holiday shopping! Last year I scored quite a few unique things so I have high hopes for this year as well. I've made some more progress on my porch, so hopefully will be ready to share that soon. I've taken the pressure off though because I know the … [Read more...]
Inspiring Thanksgiving Table Decor

It's almost here! We're on the road today, headed for my in-laws' to celebrate a quick Thanksgiving... it's no small feat to gather 4 20-somethings and a teenager with work/school schedules but we managed! I think we'll all be together for about 3 hours before some have to head out (and others are arriving last minute) but we'll take it. My mother-in-law hosts Thanksgiving every year... it's kind of her "thing" and so we make the drive … [Read more...]

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...]
Five on Friday

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...]
Set the Table for a Christmas Coffee (and a Rug Giveaway!)
December 5, 2013 by · 5 Comments
Much as I enjoy a festive evening party, one of my favorite ways to celebrate the season with close friends is a Christmas Coffee. I used to do this in conjunction with my Willow House business, but the simple formula works even better for a cozy get-together with a close pal or two. And ever since I spotted some adorable Christmas plates and mugs at Tuesday Morning, I've been itching to pull together a Christmas Coffee tablescape to share with … [Read more...]
Easy Harvest Centerpiece
November 25, 2013 by · 4 Comments
Well, while spending most of the weekend on and off the couch, I managed to photograph my simple harvest centerpiece to share with y'all. In the nick of time for this rapidly approaching Thanksgiving holiday! We spend every Thanksgiving at my mother-in-law's, so I don't do a big tablescape in my home. But these sweet pheasants were beckoning this year, so I decided a simple kitchen table centerpiece was in order. :) I used things I … [Read more...]

Howdy-hoo, y'all... SO thankful that I made it to the end of the week! I got major fun stuff happening this weekend, so I hope I can muster up the energy to be fully in each moment! After confessing my desire to create a harvest tablescape, thanks to my new feathered friends, I decided to gather up some inspiration. I don't do a lot of tablescapes, so it was fun to see what was catching my eye on the old world wide web. :) Enjoy the eye … [Read more...]

Y'all. What a great - busy fun - weekend we had! Some long time friends came in town and the girls spent Saturday taking in the Country Living Fair at Stone Mountain! Let me just say, if you ever get the chance to take this in... DO IT! We were blessed with a beautiful day and were amazed at the scope of this event! If this tower of pumpkins and gourds doesn't put you in the fall spirit, I don't know what will! If you … [Read more...]
