I've been home so little recently it feels awesome to be catching up on some things around the house... you shoulda seen the stack of mail/paperwork I plowed through on Monday! I don't know why, but fall always seems to fly by and so I'm working extra hard to savor these couple of weeks of sweet weather and a bit of time to enjoy my house. And probably some furniture painting, too. :) I refreshed the dough bowl on my coffee table with a mix … [Read more...]
Fresh Fall Mantel
October 1, 2015 by · 1 Comment
Hello, friends and Happy first of October! It's beginning to look a bit like fall around here, so I wanted to share my fresh fall mantel with you today. For some reason, I always begin my fall decorating on the mantel and then the rest of the house follows... The tweed pumpkin came from the dollar bins at Target (I know, right?); white pitcher is from Decor Steals, small Dollar Store pumpkins are chalkpainted; the leaf watercolor … [Read more...]

Happy Wednesday, y'all! First of all, thank you so much for the sweet comments on Part 1 of the Legacy story...

Today, as promised, it's back to projects and I am sooo excited to share this one with you! It's one of those that makes you think: why did I wait so long to do this??? A couple of weeks ago I gave … [Read more...]

Hey there! I hope your 4th of July holiday was awesome and your week is going well... something about long weekends always makes me want just one more day.

Come on, SPRING!
March 10, 2015 by · 3 Comments
We just had the most delightful weekend here in the ATL -- chilly mornings, mild afternoons, and -- most importantly -- sunshine! I didn't mind spending hours at the soccer field because... well -- sun! Goodness it did wonders for my mindset. And it got me craving a little spring brightness in my abode, too. Even though I just refreshed my winter mantel a couple of weeks ago, let's face it. Those first few pretty spring days just get my … [Read more...]
Winter Mantel Refresh

Happy Tuesday, y'all! First of all, I apologize for the wonky repeat post that was delivered yesterday... not sure what happened there since it was originally published in January, but the post is corrected and edited and available HERE. I'd really love to be posting a spring mantel, but the truth is we're having yet another snow day here in Georgia and winter is nowhere near finished with us! I know my posts have been scarce lately while I … [Read more...]
Five on Friday (and my Winter Mantel)
January 16, 2015 by · 3 Comments
Friday, y'all... and I am so thankful. This was another week of meetings and prayer as my precious school is being put through the ringer. I can't go into all the details yet, but let me just say: Satan is alive and well. I have never experienced spiritual warfare before, but I'm enduring it now. So if my posts are a bit scarce for a while it is because I am drained. BUT, I am optimistic and continue praying and seeking joy in my … [Read more...]

In Case You Missed it: October
November 3, 2014 by · 2 Comments
Oh my goodness. November, y'all. Over the weekend, I had to turn my heat on and we enjoyed our first fire of the season... well, the boys and I did anyway. The hubs was off to enjoy his first weekend of hunting season. So I got my craft on in a huge way and got my booth all squared away for our Holiday Open House later this week! I'll share pics on Wednesday, but for today I'm recapping a very busy October. Just in case you missed it. I … [Read more...]
