Wish

How does the old classic

Disney song go?

"a dream is a wish 

     your heart makes....."

When dreams inch their way ever closer,

to the point where they are 

just within your grasp,

how do you respond?

Do you embrace them, or run away?

I've found myself wrestling with this

very question in recent months.

Dreams coming true,

wishes fulfilled.

Every ounce of me wants to encourage

and embrace them with a hearty welcome.

But that inner nemesis,

the Greek chorus which resides within

and tells me that I am not good enough,

not smart enough, not savvy enough,

not.....enough....persists.

And I run. I hide. I quit. 

Yes, sometimes that voice wins.

I find myself stopping,

literally halting in my tracks,

and questioning all that I know

to be true about me.

That I am enough.

So much more than enough.

Not only am I equal to the challenges,

but I am capable of so much more

than I ever imagined.

I then realize that I have 

the power to silence those voices,

and ever so tentatively,

I move forward.

Baby steps at first,

more confident strides later on.

Dreams are coming true.

Wishes are becoming reality.

And God is in control.

Another week,

another FUN photo shoot 

at just one of the MANY

delightful, divine and completely darling

shops right here in Fredericksburg, Texas.

This time up at bat....

Smitten!

This shop has a special place in my heart,

as not only have I sold there,

but I think the owners Debbie and Jennifer

are just the bees knees.

My Home Featured in Cottages and Bungalows Magazine!

Pinch me, it finally happened!

After completing several rounds of photographing my own house,

doing the Q&A with the magazine,

then just sitting tight and for the most part,

keeping my lips zipped,

( damn, that part was HARD )

I can finally let it out...

Our home is featured in the brand new, June 2013 Issue

of Cottages and Bungalows Magazine!

You can find it on newsstands now!

Yep, all the magazine photos are

intentionally a bit blurry...

can't have you reading the whole thing here,

and NOT rushing out 

to the newsstand to grab it there, right?

 All in all,

I was given four pages where I share

my secrets to successful flea market decorating,

with tips and ideas for anyone wanting to

incorporate a little flea market style

into their own dwellings.

In my excitement to get this project done, 

I realized after the fact that I had actually

sent two different sets of very similar images

to the magazine for the issue.

That's why some of the original images I'm sharing

here are very similar, but somewhat different than

the ones in the June Issue.

Thank you to the beautiful, kind, and incredibly

talented Editor Jickie Torres for making this happen.

You know that I heart you.

And thanks to all of you,

for taking this tour,

and in a much larger sense, this journey with me.

There's LOTS more to share in this grand

old 103 year old gal we live in,

and I plan on giving y'all all sorts of peeks

in the weeks ahead.

Have a wonderful week!
