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. Didn't even know it existed. Bullets. Shell casings really. BIG ones. I stumbled on them in a booth and was immediately smitten. The man was asking $4 a piece which was more than I wanted to spend. When I told him I was hoping for $1 ... continue reading...

The Safety of Glass
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. It was weird. Look around - you will be amazed, shocked and disgusted. The thing about this odd observation is the protection and safety that glass seemingly gives. Windows somehow feel ... continue reading...
DIY Charging Station
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 as an iPod and having the ability to play games. The phone is not hooked up...she can just use it on wifi. It is embarrassing how clueless I was to all she would be able to do with it!!! She is now a texting and face time ... continue reading...

Round Top Recap
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 I did with a few of my treasures once I got them home. As to not bore you with a novel today I will spread the fun over a few posts. There was a lot of goodness going on. You must go if you have the ... continue reading...
Before And After: House To Home
You might walk through our home today and think it looks good (or maybe not). I think to really appreciate how much change occurred you would've had to walk through it before it was ours. When it was just a house. To really engage all of your senses in the state of this house's disarray. Pictures are good, but not 100% the full effect. You can't smell a picture or feel the damp, dank air. A picture doesn't let you touch the dirt and grim. You can't even see all the details, like bugs, dust ... continue reading...

Freshen Up For Spring
Today I want to plant a seed in your mind...A creative seed to help you change up and freshen up some possibly overlooked treasures in your own home. It is so fun to shop your house for new décor objects. It is free and you can do it in your Pj's! A good friend of mine and I just finished up a fun new project with quite a twist. We decorated a room for a new crisis pregnancy maternity home here in town. The entire house had already be put together so beautifully and on an amazingly thin ... continue reading...
Women And Their Gifts: Jori K.
Let me introduce you to this little ray of sunshine named Jori. God crossed our paths through bible study and drew us closer by placing us together in a small prayer group within the same study. She blessed me back then when we prayed for each other, but little did I know how much she would bless me today. Jori is a totally adorable mom of two handsome young boys that don't leave the house without matching clothes. She adores her husband and sings his praises often, as she should. He rocks. ... continue reading...
