Greetings, friends and TGIF! As you know I've been purging my household in preparation for our goal of downsizing... and boy have my eyes been opened! I have spent a fair amount of time shaking my head over the accumulation of "stuff" throughout my home and thinking through how to bring order into our abode. Well I have a treat for you today in the way of sharing a new book that has been a timely resource for me these past several … [Read more...]

November 19, 2014 by · 11 Comments
Hi friends! Back today with some more awesome gift ideas from one of my favorite online boutiques, Bourbon & Boots. I can't even remember how I discovered them a couple of years ago, but I've scored many a unique item from this collection of Southern-inspired vendors. Remember this?

In Case You Missed It x2 (April and May)
June 2, 2014 by · 1 Comment
Y'all I'm so far behind, I never recapped April! And since my feed was doing wonky things in late April/early May, I figured it warranted a quick recap of both months! I finally was able to regroup a bit after the crowd of young adults left on Saturday... things will be a tad quieter here now, so I've been working on some new DIY ideas and gathering supplies for a couple of home projects (yay summertime!). But before we embark on June, let's … [Read more...]
Rhinestone Jesus: Review and a GIVEAWAY!
April 30, 2014 by · 5 Comments
Sometimes the right words are just put before you. Isn't God so good that way? Like last fall, when I accepted an invitation to join the blogging ranks for (in)Mercy in my quest to make this space count. And I told the story of my mom's illness while traveling in Kenya. And how I now had the opportunity to, in turn, make a difference for some special girls in that country. And how I read with amazement that we had FAR exceeded our … [Read more...]

Hey there! TGIF! I woke up in NYC this morning, ready to spend a weekend of birthday fun with my best girlfriend! If you've been a reader for long, you know how much I adore coming to NY and all this city has to offer! Today is my 47th birthday -- there. I said it. 47 y'all. How did I get here?

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...]
October Thoughts and September in Review
October 2, 2013 by · 8 Comments
Ah, at last... October! Cooler days, chilly evenings, the ever-so-slow turning of the leaves here in the South... I am so ready for the pause that is October. August and September are the hectic back-to-school scurry and adjustments. November is the steady uptick in the schedule and way-too-soon holiday prep. But October? Maybe because August and September have left me wrung out and a bit broken, but October feels like a chance to … [Read more...]
The Mom Cave {Home Tour}
September 27, 2013 by · 7 Comments
Happy Friday! This week I shared a post at Mohawk Homescapes about a room of one's own (don't we all need one?). It was the perfect opportunity for me to update photos of my Mom Cave, so I thought I'd share with you all today. This space went from crowded/chaotic Grand Central Station home office to my personal oasis that I occasionally share. :) And this would be my husband's little space for when he's working … [Read more...]

**This giveaway is now closed** TGIF, friends! I'm so excited to bring you YET ANOTHER giveaway this month! You may remember last year I reviewed products from NOVICA, an online international artist marketplace that is part of the National Geographic family.
