Bridesmaid Clutches 

Facing Fall Head On

As soon as the rain started to fall over
the weekend, I felt the gloominess coming on.
I knew by how dark my house felt
that even though it is fall and I usually
try to make things cozier, I needed to
lighten things up a bit to get through 9 months of
gray days...I dug in my closets and went out
to get a few bargains at local thrift stores.
And I just love how my dining room looks! To lighten up the black side table
I added natural baskets with burlap inserts.
I also tied back my dark curtains w/ rope, moved a
large silk tree to the other side of the room
and the light just poured in!
Instead of rusts and golds
I used  mossy green as an accent.
I took out my dusty candles from the wall sconces
and added faux pears instead.
The lamp shade added a new look to an old lamp. On the table I reused my burlap table runner from a
previous party and added an old wood tool box
with pears and moss for the center piece.
It truly is amazing how a few changes make
the room feel like a brand new house
and I spent less than the cost of new curtains:)

Want to see ... Today we had a little family celebration for
Pierce. His Grammers (Daddy's Mom),
and Aunties joined
me, Tessa and Brielle for yummy food
and a relaxing visit.
Pierce did not appear impressed,
even though he got a truck and a
pounding bench!
The faux tree was in a bucket with marshmallows,
and with my trusty Cricut I was able to make
the cupcake toppers, banner, etc.
The Pumpkin Spice Latte Cupcakes were a hit
and are from Annie's Eats.
And big sis Brielle got a ballet outfit, which she
will probably never want to take off!

A Special Bouquet to all My Sweet Friends Here's to you, for all the lovely comments
and loving words...I feel so honored that anyone

look into my little world of blogging.
Enjoy the roses with my love!

Fall in Newport

It's a beautiful time to visit the coast! And a good time to breath in the smell
of ocean air and fish!
And to lie on the beach and fall asleep
to the sound of the waves
moving relentlessly onto the sand.
And to think about life and God
and how no one with any sense could
question His presence in creation...
And to rest...

Conversations with a 2 Year Old 
Welcome Little Man!

We have a new Grandson!
It is so funny to see how much
a BOY he is already, none of the
delicate features that his sister had,
and mouth wide open "starving hungry"!
every second:) I will have to start thinking trucks and dirt now.
It's been awhile!
One of his uncles said "he looks like a turtle and
sounds like a little pig, but it's cute."
I had to laugh, because it's so like a guy
to describe a baby like that!
