Did you know I have a regular Thursday gig? You can find me at FancyLittleThings.com every Thursday where I blog about home and garden with snippets of faith thrown in. I love my space over there, because my talented editors Aimee and Danielle come up with theme for each month. My challenge is to blog within my niche (for the most part) while addressing the theme of the month. July was "Beside Restful Waters" and I had fun with that, … [Read more...]
Catalog Finds {Willow House}
August 8, 2012 by · 8 Comments
Somewhere in my summer hoopla, the new Willow House catalog came out and went live on my website! I finally got my hands on them and decided it would be a perfect Catalog Finds post! While there are some really gorgeous new pieces in the Fall catalog, I was also pleased to see the return of some customer favorites. I don't know how long those will be around, so if you see one you want, you might want to snap it up! Let's get … [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...]

Happy Friday, friends! It's been a crazy week -- one of those weeks where everyone needed me for something as we prep for back-to-college/school around here. Gosh I hope I get it together in the next week or so! Anyhoo, today is all about the DEAL. Who doesn't love a good deal-- especially for wall decor??

July’s Favorite Things

I have no idea where the summer has gone. But I'm pretty clear on where I have gone! Hmm... Lake Blue Ridge GA (twice), Lake Rabun GA, Eufaula AL, Destin FL, Huntsville AL, and Albany GA. Lotsa travel, people. The hubs likes to pick up and go. :) We've had a busy summer and it's already winding down... soon I'll be brushing up on my curriculum and brainstorming bulletin boards for my classroom. Yikes! This week it's all about the boys... … [Read more...]

Thrifty Finds {Try Not to Hate Me}
July 27, 2012 by · 11 Comments
Gotta love a successful afternoon of thrifting at your local antique mall! On Tuesday, I was blessed to spend the afternoon with the lovely Charity from The Heartfelt Home. We enjoyed a delish lunch in downtown Roswell and strolled over to the Canton Street Antique Mall to poke around and see what we could find. I totally scored! See those wooden spoon display racks? Those will be incorporated into the wall art phase of my Ugly … [Read more...]
An {in}spired Finishing Touch (Front Porch Makeover)
July 25, 2012 by · 9 Comments
I'm a self-professed 90% girl when it comes to projects. I have a tendancy to get a home project or room makeover about 90% complete and then I either run out of steam or get distracted by some other project I'm longing to get started on. One of my goals for this year was to finish what I start and I'm so proud to say I have completed my front porch summer makeover. I mean, it's only July 25th, right? :-) This is one of those posts where … [Read more...]
A Home for the Watercolors {Thrift Store Frames}
July 20, 2012 by · 8 Comments
At last. A home for my grandmother's watercolors that she painted back in the 1950's. After months of searching art supply and framing stores and pondering custom frames, a simple pair of thrift store frames got the gig. Once they got a little facelift and were paired with prefab mats from Michael's, they were the perfect solution. I love the way the finish turned out (read about that here). I love that both her hands and … [Read more...]
