Happy Friday, friends! Whew, what a week! I know I promised a giveaway today, but I've decided to wait a bit to announce it... you see, Decor & More is getting a little work done. :-D Can you see how big I'm smiling?? I'm so excited about the fresh new look coming our way! So because the site might be down a bit here and there for the next few days, it's not the best time to do a giveaway. It's coming soon, I promise, though. … [Read more...]
It’s the Little Things (and NYC Recap)
July 20, 2013 by · 3 Comments
The weekend already? Jeez, time flies in the summertime... Thursday I journeyed down IKEA with my daughter to do some apartment shopping for her. That place never ceases to amaze me, and I shopped IKEA in Northern Virginia back in 1989 for MY first apartment! It was pretty cool then and it's even more so now... so of course I picked up a few little things for me, too. :) Like this $4 pillow cover for an insert I already … [Read more...]

Have you ever noticed that some of the best gifts are free? We're back from our second weekend in a row spent with good friends... and we've experienced the most amazing Southern hospitality.

Ten Things Tuesday…

Y'all I am scattered, smothered, and covered. Maybe it's all the short trips out of town on the heels of a crazy month of May. Maybe it's just summertime with a houseful. Maybe I just can't get my act together. When I sat down to write a post for y'all, my brain was all over the place. So I decided to take you down the rabbit hole of my thoughts... 1. I want a vegetable garden. Not sure I want all the work that comes with one, … [Read more...]

Happy Flag Day, friends!! I hope you're showing your patriotism today by displaying our flag! Even my back deck has gotten in on the action... We've got another busy weekend planned, but I sure am enjoying my summertime! This week I finished up that sad little console table with the great legs... remember her? She was a freebie with a corner missing on her drawer... but I figured with a simple makeover and the right price, … [Read more...]

Happy Friday, friends! I've had a good week and it's finally starting to feel like summer... I even slept until 9 a.m. one morning -- total decadence, people. :) So today I'm sharing some "happies" -- just because. Monday night, my daughter and two friends of ours went to a book launch party for one of my favorite local authors, Mary Kay Andrews, and her new book Ladies Night! What a great party in a newly opened antique mall (!) where we … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed It {May}

I had to chuckle when I remembered writing about how crazy my month of May would be and that you might not see much of me on the blog during that month... ha! I'm so thrilled to be into June when I can breathe a little, take stock of what projects I'd like to accomplish this summer, and catch up on blogging and reading. In case you missed some of these May moments, here's a look back! We squeezed in a lake getaway to recharge before … [Read more...]

Yay for summertime! We made it through the big graduation weekend and are now enjoying a few lazy days. :) Our family and friends really enjoyed our celebration, so I wanted to share a few more graduation decoration ideas -- and these were easy to pull together quickly using photos I had on hand! I reused an idea from my daughter's graduation that I shared here using a plate. For the ribbon I used a wire-edged burlap ribbon (a … [Read more...]
Endings

Hello, gang! I'm so chock full of emotions these days, I can't even find words right now. Those of you that have had crazy times of endings know what I'm saying... My guests have begun arriving, the party prep is ongoing, and tomorrow, this handsome guy will close out a chapter in his life (where did the time go???). I also said "goodbye" to my Little Ones yesterday, after a crazy gratifying emotional roller coaster of a day with … [Read more...]
