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. It was awarded this... *A favorite watering … [Read more...]
Tasty Meatloaf Recipe (and a Fall Bazaar)
October 15, 2012 by · 8 Comments
Nothing says fall like comfort food and today I'm sharing a yummy meatloaf recipe... with a fun twist! A few weeks ago I was charged with making meatloaf for my church's Wednesday Night Dinner... enough to feed 25-30 people. In my home, my peeps like a SLAB of meatloaf. Not a wimpy slice. So how to figure out how many loaves to make since I'm not a good judge of how far meatloaf will go? ;-) Enter my cupcake pan. What better way … [Read more...]
Six Months

It was six months ago today that we lost our sweet Kaely to a drunk driver in Miami. This is such a hole in my children's hearts and as I watch my Jack thriving and loving his first year of high school, I can't help but think how unfair it is that she's not doing the same. Rest in peace, sweet girl. Hug your children, friends. … [Read more...]

Woo hoo! I spent Thursday night getting a few nagging things done... Cross "order Christmas cards" off my list! Thanks to PicMonkey and Shutterfly, I've got these babies printing up right NOW! 5x7 Folded Card View the entire collection of cards. Is this a motley crew or what? We're so scattered, I've gotten in the habit of snapping pics of whomever is together at any point in time and doing a collage of … [Read more...]
Newbies for the Booth {Driveway Painting Session}
October 11, 2012 by · 5 Comments
A couple of weeks ago, I took advantage of a "bye" weekend and set up shop in my driveway to get a few new pieces painted for my booth. It was a long day, but a productive one! I scored this table at an outdoor flea market and new she had Annie Sloan Old White written all over her! One of these days, I'll get better at doing the "money shots" for these pieces! This Goodwill find was languishing in my garage... but I had … [Read more...]

Whew, are we reeling from a fun NYC weekend! We had amazing weather for most of it, and even the chilly drizzle on Sunday didn't dampen our fun. I'll be sharing some pics later this week, but here' s sneak peek at one of our outings... Before I left, I did a quick fall update to our front porch.

Shut The Front Door! {Going Bold}
October 3, 2012 by · 14 Comments
Well, I did it. It's been on my to-do list since last summer. Actually longer than that! I just didn't articulate it until last summer. :-) See how I get around my to-do list being too monstrous? Think about projects, just don't SAY they need to be done. Ha! Anyway, I was stumped on a color. I loved the look of black interior doors...
