Ok, it's finally here. The Easter Egg Hunt post. I hope it doesn't disappoint since I'd been working on the actual party for so long. It was a blast. I was worried that it could have been rained out, but the weather dried up and even though the ground was damp beneath the grass, it turned out to be just fine.I could probably do a post on just the flowers … [Read more...]
Style or Vile?!…Weird Home Decor…
I'm playing some serious catch-up around my house today from things ignored while we planned and executed a party this weekend. Don't you know the laundry was the first thing to get tossed on the back burner?! I have washed 1 load, but re-fluffed and folded 4 loads. All the laundry was clean, but not folded or put away, so it was Wrinkle City around … [Read more...]
My Easter Basket of Perspective…
Last night I was cleaning the kitchen, picking up small toys around the house, and throwing away random junk in preparation for our Easter party tomorrow. And I finally stopped about 11pm, at which point I felt that it was wildly necessary or iron and put in place a new dustruffle that I got for our bed about a month ago. So important, I know right?! I was … [Read more...]

My Heart’s All A-flutter… Butterfly Chair Revealed!
I've been telling you about this chair for ages. Probably because I bought the chair frame last summer and the fabric last fall. And, pretty much since then have been alternating between chomping at the bit to finish this and procrastinating refinishing it til I had the cash to have it upholstered.When I bought the chair frame it was raw wood...not a stitch of … [Read more...]
Style or Vile?! J. Crew has done it again!!!
You may remember a post I did a few weeks ago with some smashing pictures out of a recent J. Crew catalogue. If not, you really should check it out HERE. And I hoped with all my little heart that it was a mistake, a fluke. That the J. Crew I've known and loved for years just had a "whoops" moment.Alas, I fear not.Dear J. Crew,It's simple.You. Are. Losing. … [Read more...]
To write or not to write….tips on Thank You Notes
I think I heard a saying once that went something like..."Southern born and Southern bred, and when I die I'll be Southern dead."And any good Southerner, well "bless our hearts," we know how to mind our manners. My mom enrolled me in cotillion when I was in middle school to learn etiquette. Things like which fork to use at dinner if there are 5 of them, how to foxtrot … [Read more...]
Parties!… Easter Egg hunt and Brunch
I'm gonna try to be a little strategic here to throw out ideas I have for upcoming seasonal stuff in time that you could actually implement them for THIS current season. But...

Sorry.I guess now would also be the time to … [Read more...]

How to…antique a table!
Oh my words...it's raining here again, which is good for the earth, but bad for my septic tank.UGH! Everytime we have a "soaking rain," our septic drain fields get overloaded and then the toilet in MY bathroom doesn't flush til it's dry for several days again. Awful. I guess it'd all be fine if we wanted to fork over $2K to add more drainfields...but do you … [Read more...]
Apples to Earrings….a fantastic repurpose!
Meant to post yesterday but the Hubs actually got to spend the whole day at home with us, so we were soaking that up as much as we could. Also, my internet was down for some reason and I didn't want to bother him with fixing it since our time all together has been pretty short here lately.I will tell you though, I got my project on while he took a nap for a little while … [Read more...]
Food for Thought…Food Allergies and how to deal with them…

Like the kind that would spill water on you by accident and laugh hysterically....I LOVE that. You know...just real people being real.But now I'm not going to … [Read more...]
Secrets of a Great Illusionist….Creativity Revealed!
"If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original."- (I don't know who said this, but it wasn't me.)I'm always beyond flattered when people pay a compliment about something creative I've done. Honestly, I think I'm often not sure how to receive the compliment, so I try to figure out how to explain how I did it, or remove some of the credit … [Read more...]
