Hey, friends.

Just popping in real quick to share

photo shoot at

Margo specializes in gorgeous fabrics and

beautiful custom bed linens...

Margo's bedding and beds are just

indescribably dreamy!

I brought a pair of those lovely gold
wooden angel wings above home with me.
Couldn't resist.

 I also grabbed a bag very similar to the one above

not so long ago. Love it.

I also wanted to announce on behalf of my

sweet friend Sweet T  that the

  and Theresa will be set up there with a whole host

of other wonderful vendors.

To conclude, 

I'm stealing my recent Facebook wall update

and posting it here

just to keep y'all in the loop...

" Just taking most of this week off to spend some time

dealing with all the issues surrounding losing my mom

exactly a year ago.

The Leap year has thrown me off. She died on Tuesday, Sept 13, 2011,

and this year the 13th falls on a Thursday.

Yeah, I am struggling. My keeping super busy this past year

with photography projects was a way to push it all

out of my mind.

But guess what? It all caught up with me this past week.

Thank you to those who have been praying

and checking on me. I'll be okay. "

See you soon.

Snippets

Welcome to my home.

Welcome to my world.

Just a few random snippets

of life around the house

to share with you.

 Thank you for spending a little

quiet time in my world.

You are welcome back  anytime.

Farmhouse Bedroom...

I'm teasing you with a handful of room photos

here and there, because it , ( it being the house ) 

STILL isn't where I want it to be.

But I have a few here for you nonetheless,

pride be damned.

Being OCD and a relentless pefectionist

left to my own devices, I'd never share 

ANY of the house photos with y'all..

So here goes nothin'!

More to follow as I tweak and re-do.

Yep, that's an awning over the bed,

a sweet purchase from my buddy Binky

at Binky La Faye in Llano, Texas.

We have an awning over the bed in
the guest bedroom, too.

I love framing children's clothes.

There is such a sweetness about them.

You are spying with your little eyes

one of my other obsessions...

vintage floral ticking pillows.

And perched atop an armoire / closet

is another collection of this 'n that.

No rhyme or reason to my vignettes,

if it looks good, I just go with it.

Hope you enjoyed the peek!

I'll parcel a few more out to you in the days ahead.

Ha! My friend Tom snapped me surrounded

by bubbles yesterday afternoon on Main St.

in downtown Fredericksburg.

Just a touch of whimsy to end the post.

Have an amazing weekend!

 

Farmhouse Mantle

I teased you with some fuzzy iPhone pics,

but here are some proper photos

of my beautiful new mantle,

procured this past weekend

at Fredericksburg Trade Days...

Don't ask me what the swirly things are...

my buddy Patty at Trade Days gave me a bag full.

Aren't they fun?

Sea fans... *sigh*

I just can't get enough of those!

I picked up that fabulous mantle mirror

for $25 in Missouri.

TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS!

And just because it has a crack! What a steal.

I decided to add some touches of Fall in my color choices.
Adore my button topiary there on the far right

from Lisa at Bilancia Designs.

I admit it, I'm a suitcase ho.

 Just a quick one to end the week.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

 

The Facebook Chronicles

I'll admit it.

My life has been too crazy busy

these past Summer months to devote the time

needed to keep up with a regular blogging schedule.

Which is why I've been keeping everyone updated

mostly via Facebook.

It's quick, easy, and I'm able to shoot photos

with my iPhone and upload them to FB straight from my phone.

For those of you who are not on Facebook,

here's a bit of what's been going on in my world

the past few weeks.

First up, I was thrilled to not only be able to attend

the incredible "moving-in" sale at the new

Magnolia Pearl homestead right here

in Fredericksburg, Texas, but I got to help out

with pricing the day before the sale.

Here are some of my iPhone shots, pre-sale...

I brought home a goodly portion of

tea-stained lace and linen with me!

And this entire, HUGE basket of seam binding?

Home with me, of course!

I had to grab the tarnished silver "bread" platter, too.

It was a beautiful sale, and we are all so happy

to have Robin and John here in da 'Burg!

I also have been busy at Smitten

as time allows.

I'm lucky enough to have two features running

in the current edition of FOLK magazine,

so I set up a little point-of-purchase vignette

in the shop to hawk the issue!

I've also been dabbling in mixed-media art

a bit this Summer, and have even been brave enough

to begin selling a bit of my work, like the piece below...

I also found myself blessed beyond measure

when my incredibly sweet and talented friend

Sherry from ShantyGirl 

gifted me with one of her fabuloso,

handmade Union Jack throws....

Winnie immediately claimed it,

as she has impeccable taste.

Oh, and I love it too, Sherry!!!

I've added to my growing collection of dreamy  

Magnolia Pearl clothing this past Summer,

and the darling little MP jumper in the pics below

has quickly become one of my favorite pieces.

I got a new toy this past week, too...



I'm having fun learning this over-the-top
wonderful camera. 36 megapixels, wow!

I made a couple of trips to

Fredericksburg Trade Days 

this weekend, and just this afternoon,

came home with something I have wanted forever...

The lousy phone pics don't do it justice,

but this divine mantle is now in our farmhouse!

Finally, I've been super busy on

a few editorial features for magazines,

as well as shooting the photos for the in-progress

Carol Hicks Bolton Laboratoire de Design

website.

Below is a peek at what to expect...

I can't reveal any more photos from the website yet,

but this particular photo was featured in 

the local newspaper, so I figured I could share it

and whet your appetite for what is to come.

I'm sure you've all been having a crazy busy Summer, too.

Even though I haven't been commenting,

I've been keeping up with y'all, and

just want to thank you for the constant inspiration

you provide me on a daily basis.

Here's hoping you have a wonderful week ahead!
