All the gorgeous flowers lining the highways and byways has me all excited about putting fresh flowers all over my home. Maybe you saw my first flower gathering and unique bud vase in my Round Top Recap or  Bullets to Beautiful post. It is all I can do to keep my eyes on the road….
It is now quiet in my home and I’m so glad to be back in the midst of the crazy chaos of our little world. My husband and I had a weekend away for a business trip and client’s event. We ate and ate then we got to dress up (which we rarely do), did…
She is cute, organized, fun, funny, creative and would drop anything for a friend. I mean it – this lady is loyal and true. She loves the Lord, loves his word and loves to share it with others. The first time I met Katie many years ago was at bible study. I knew I wanted…
I’m thankful for…these are the only words that come to me today. God must really be telling me to reflect. Take time and breath. I had other posts planned for today. But that is ok. I think I am also a little inspired by my new friend’s blog and the way she starts each week. With…
Learn how to make beautiful salt shaker tassels using collected salt shakers. Being on the hunt for antiques or junk is always more fun when you collect something or are searching for a particular item. One thing my mom and I have kept our eyes peeled for over the years is salt and pepper shakers. It…
Have you ever heard the Sammy Kershaw song She Don’t Know She’s Beautiful? Might sound a little redneck, but I love some Sammy. Anyway, this song is all I can think of when pondering how to describe my precious friend Allison. She is completely unaware to the talent and graciousness she carries wherever she goes. Our…
Making our home comfortable for every one in my family is a major goal of mine. I strongly believe everyone should have a space that invites them, makes them feel connected and is totally their own. A safe haven at the end of the day. The kids seem to get their own space with ease….
Do your kids ever inspire you? There are times when I am just blown away by my children’s view on a situation or themselves. They have such precious, innocent, unpolluted thoughts. It is a marvel and really makes the childlike faith talked about in Mark 10:15 understandable. My daughter ran for student council at the…
Do you ever meet someone and immediately know they are special and kind. That is how I felt about Nancy when I met her years ago. We have such kindred spirits and share so many of the same loves. She has an amazing yard and garden, is crazy gifted at quilting (sewing in general) and…
I know I have been going on and on about my Round Top/Warrenton trip…but y’all – it is that good. The most super duper yummy fun part of junkin is that you never know what you are going to find. I couldn’t have set out to look for this little prize if I wanted to….
Have you ever noticed how many people pick their nose in their car? Seriously – my husband and I went through a spell swapping unbelievable accounts of grown men and women picking, examining and eating out of their nose while stopped at lights. Everywhere we went we saw this…over and over. Both of us. A lot….
You may have read last week as I recapped my Spring trips to Round Top. I had one specific item on my shopping list… My daughter had a birthday a few weeks ago. She received my mom’s old iPhone as a gift. Now, this was kind of my idea. I really envisioned her using it…
This series usually goes out on Friday, but I really wanted to get this interview out before then, so I am changing up the week a little bit… This week in our Women and Their Gift series we are spending time in the closet with my dear friend Stacie. Stacie looks cute and put together…
This women is warm, she is seriously funny, generous, honest, loyal, real and downright beautiful. She tells it like she sees it and I enjoy that so much in a friend. Her laugh is spectacular and she is contagious. I can’t wait for you to meet my friend I love how real Robin is. She…
So Round Top/Warrenton Antiques Week came to and end on Easter Sunday. I had the pleasure of spending two days shopping the wares at this show. Did I mention how much I love it? In case you missed that little fact I thought I would share some pictures of friends, things that inspired me and what…
