Spring Goodies

Spring is just around the corner. "I think", it's hard to imagine because it's so cold here today!

Here are a few of the things I will be adding to my online boutique soon.
This jacket will be perfect to wear during the Spring and Summer months.



This dress/top can be worn all year around. You could wear it as it is for summer and in the Winter just dress it up with layers. We will be adding these items soon and look for many more new romantic apparel pieces coming next month. Have a great day!

Beautiful Entry Ways and Our New Home

I just love beautiful entry ways, it's the first impression you get when you walk into a home.

I'm loving the creamy white walls in this entrance with the mixture of the dark woods.
This is just stunning.
I always love the brick mixed in.
Again loving the white walls with the dark colors.
I had to add a gray entrance as I'm really loving the color gray these days.
Now for my favorite entry way, this is our new weekend home we purchased a few weeks ago. We will be closing on it around the 30th of this month, and we are so excited. This entry way is what sold it for me. I love it. I love how they mixed the stone and brick. I can't wait to start decorating. There will be lots of post as I'm decorating it. Hopefully it want take me as long as it has with my kitchen. The hold up on the kitchen has been finding the right chandelier, but I think I may have the one I want now. Wishing you a wonderful week!

Kitchen Inspiration

I'm loving these kitchens!

What's not to love about this kitchen, it's absolutely gorgeous. I'm loving the cream colors mixed with the dark wood, but it would be just a gorgeous with the island painted a beautiful cream color also. Don't you think? Love the beautiful chandelier hanging over the island too.
Just look at the French details in the lovely kitchen. This kitchen is wonderful with it's gorgeous cream color island and then it has that rustic feel with the brick and wood beams. I love the mixture of the two.
I'm loving the clean lines of this kitchen, the beautiful whites with the stainless steel is another gorgeous feature. I always love the ceilings with the beams, I think the beams would also look great painted white. I have showed a peek of my kitchen redo with you several months ago, hopefully I will be showing the entire kitchen soon. Christmas kinda put a stop to me finishing the last details of the kitchen. The only things I like is getting my chandelier up, curtains, and covering the chairs. I hope you loved these kitchen inspirations as much as I did.

Oh So Sweet Apparel

Here are a few of the new apparel pieces that will be added to the website soon!

I just love this dress with this sweet top over it, they go perfect together.



Here's just the top.
And here is just the dress, but don't you think they look great together?
Another set that looks great together.







I'm going to have to keep one of these sweet scarves for myself.




It's still really hectic around here, and I'm very stressed, but hope to have my apparel up soon!
I hate to keep talking about how hectic it is and how stressed I am, but that's just how it is right now, but hopefully things will level out soon! I'm also running late with my giveaway, but it will be coming up soon!

Prayer Request

I wanted to ask for your prayers for my sweet little dog Abbie! It was such a nice day this past Saturday, I was at home and excited about having a little time to do housework, add things to my website and things like that when all the sudden I heard my sweet little Abbie crying, so I ran as fast as I could to her. She was holding her little paw up like something had stung her, first thing I thought..... it was a scorpion, and it had stung her. We have had problems with scorpions before and have to have the house sprayed for them several times a year. Well after me holding her for about 30 min. I put her down and she couldn't stand up, her little legs were not working. I then held her for about an hour and put her down again..... again she could not stand up. Abbie is 14 years old now and she has had back surgery before, it's probably been about 7 years ago, and she had done really well after the surgery until lately I've been noticing her back leg kinda slipping when she would be eating, but she still was getting around very well. After taking her to the vet he confirmed that it was her back and there was nothing he could do for her. Of course I started crying again, that's all I could do all day, I pretty much new it was her back. He said he could give her a shot for inflammation and send something home to help her sleep. Well I started home with her and when I got home with her my husband was back, he had been out of town for the day. I went out of the room for a few minutes and my husband called me back and said she's walking now. All I can say is that prayers were answered. Abbie is still walking, but I wanted to ask for your prayers for her, that her back will get stronger and that she will continue to walk, and have a good quality of life. Abbie being 14 years old I'm not sure that they would even do back surgery on her. I am going to make her an appointment at A&M to let them check her out, that's were she had her back surgery before, they took such good care of her there. This is my little baby girl Abbie in the picture below. For some reason I'm not able to write under the picture, don't know what the problem is. I would greatly appreciate your prayers

New Items

Here is just a few of the new things that have been keeping me super busy lately!

This is one of our new clutch bags. I'll be making more of these, and also making some this same size and shape with a handle on them for the ladies that like handles such as myself!
another clutch bag.




X- Large tote bag!

This is my new skirted pillow, and of course I had to keep one for myself.
This sweater worked perfect for this pillow.



It's still really hectic around here, but not quite as bad as it has been recently. I still have little details to finish in the kitchen, and will start stocking my website with new items which I will be doing for the next few days. I have some beautiful apparel that I will be adding to my site this week also. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!!
