Country Living Fair Goodies

Monday was a blur, so here we are Tuesday!  If you follow me on Instagram you know why, but more on that later... I realized I never showed you what I scored at the Country Living Fair last month, so today's your day! Of course those vintage oversized flash cards were immediately calling my name... they weren't cheap, so I chose my two favorites.  The world map paper?  There are actually two of them there... one project for my classroom … [Read more...]

Country Living Fair 2013

Y'all.  What a great - busy fun - weekend we had! Some long time friends came in town and the girls spent Saturday taking in the Country Living Fair at Stone Mountain! Let me just say, if you ever get the chance to take this in... DO IT!  We were blessed with a beautiful day and were amazed at the scope of this event! If this tower of pumpkins and gourds doesn't put you in the fall spirit, I don't know what will! If you … [Read more...]

Spring Mantel Tweaks… I Couldn’t Resist

Howdy hoo, y'all -- another busy week rocking and rolling around here!  So far this week we've celebrated two birthdays in my preschool class, Earth Day plus caterpillars (!), and then yesterday a puppet show.  I'm whipped by 2pm every day! I'm still working away on the guest room, but I took a few minutes to freshen up my spring mantel since Easter is now behind us... It all started with a quick trip to "Junk Day" at the Woodstock … [Read more...]

I Can’t Resist: Threshold Thursday

Hey there, friends... I had every intention of posting more guest room progress this week, but... Ah the joys of high school sports!  Your weekday evenings are not your own. :)  Truthfully, though, it's been a blast watching him work so hard, improve his skills, have some fun and finish their season undefeated (My boy scored the final goal!).    And not only do we have a team of good players (REALLY good players), we also have a … [Read more...]

Catalog Finds: Grandin Road

I love it when early spring decor catalogs start arriving in my mailbox.  Yes, I am an online shopper, but sometimes perusing the old-fashioned paper catalog can't be beat.  Like when you're sitting on a beach somewhere... just sayin'. ;-)   It's been a while since I'd thumbed through a Grandin Road catalog, but I found some really cool things this time around so I thought I'd share. Enjoy!   Source: grandinroad.com … [Read more...]

Scott’s Success and some Friday Eye Candy

Last Friday a girlfriend and I trekked down to Scott's Antique Market on the south side of Atlanta.  It's one of those have-your-eyes-wide-open-and-comfy-shoes-on experiences, if you've never been!  I was VERY good, honoring my No Spend Month, and only snagging a few things for the booth.  But I got lots of inspiration, too. Here's pics of a few things that inspired me.  Sorry for the iPhone pics! Pillows galore... check out all the … [Read more...]

Ok, as promised... my HomeGoods goodies from the HomeGoods party on Saturday! This AMAZING lamp for the Mom Cave!!  I love the little bit of sparkle in the shade... little glam for my space!  And can you beat $39 for an awesome lamp?  Didn't think so. :) You know I have two teenage boys, right?  'Nuff said.
