Dear Friends, I’ve got a nice pile of random stuff to share so I thought I’d cram it all together for a little Friday mish mash. Home decor finds and cell phone tower tales wrapped together like a pig in a blanket. I made a stop this week at my favorite home decor market, Black [...]
Fabric Sources + The Decision
on May 22, 2013
Dear Friends, I did some quick i-Phone snapping in the fabric store so that I could get those sources for you (original post here). Because they are “for the trade” it is a wee bit harder to track them down. Emily A. Clark had a good post earlier this week on how to purchase fabrics [...]
Simple Floral Arrangement {3 Easy Steps}
on May 20, 2013
Dear Friends, There is a store near my house with floral arrangements that take my breath away. I have one in the foyer that I love and I willingly forked over the funds last year after putting a birthday gift card to use. I’m not going to pretend that I can put something together as [...]
Dragonfly Design {Fabric Inspired}
on May 17, 2013
Dear Friends, Thanks for all of your input on the fabric samples! I’ll keep you posted on the outcome. I’m also going to track down fabric sources this weekend. I can tell you the dragonfly pattern was a definite yes the minute I saw it. I have a little thing for dragonflies. I [...]
Fabric Hunting: Your Opinion
on May 15, 2013
Dear Friends, I’m about to ask your opinion. However, be warned I might not take it. Isn’t that annoying? People are always asking me my thoughts on house stuff and then they end up doing whatever they wanted to begin with. I guess in our gut we know what we like. I’m having the preschool-is-almost-out-panic. [...]
Corner Porch Update: My Cozy Spot
on May 13, 2013
Dear Friends, I had a very blessed Mother’s Day weekend. One of my dear friends hosted a special brunch on Saturday so I was spoiled two days in a row. My mother was in Durham, NC visiting my ill grandmother meaning our traditional coffee date will have to wait. A little bittersweet but Mother’s Day [...]
Embracing Mommy Treasures
on May 10, 2013
Dear Friends, In honor of Mother’s Day weekend I thought I’d share a little Motherly love from our home. A Mom can show love in all kinds of ways. One of those is to embrace the many handmade items that come through the door everyday. A Mother’s love means not re-arranging her child’s deliberate [...]
A Splurge for the Foyer
on May 8, 2013
Dear Friends, Thank you for your kindness regarding Reid’s endoscopy yesterday. He was quite the model patient. Except when he puked the “happy juice” they gave him before putting him under. It was fitting really. We were there for chronic vomiting and he made sure to show off his special talent. Regardless, he was [...]
Reid Health Update
on May 6, 2013
Dear Friends, I’ve got a pile of stuff to show you but we have been living in semi-darkness for days on end. It has rained and rained and rained. I’ve whined and sighed and pretended that the sun was out. My backyard is squishy, my rain boots are tired, and my kids are bouncing off [...]
I’m Three! + Table Inspiration from Pottery Barn
on May 3, 2013
Dear Friends, I had my blogiversary this week without even realizing it. I’ve been plugging away at this blogging thing for three years now. I’ve had ups and downs but I feel like over the last six months I’ve found my flow. I don’t have any million dollar giveaways or a free gifts to impart [...]
