showing just a couple of them here...

Some Fun Cottage Pics!!!

     

Oh my! Oh my! Do you love these or what?!

My husband and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary last weekend by going to

Fredericksburg, Texas. It is one of our favorite places and we go every chance we get. We usually

just hang out, eat and shop! Of course cottage touring is always on the list...most of ya'll know

about my cottage fetish! I really don't even know how I ended up in a brand new house in the

middle of the big city when what I long for is a little cottage in the country...life just happens

sometimes;). These homes are on the way out of Fredericksburg on the way to another charming

town called Comfort! I love them all and would happily take any one of them! Aren't they

delicious?! SOMEDAY;)!

~Some fun news!!!~

I am in the process of partnering with CSN for a giveaway to one of their stores. They have offered

to give me a $40 gift card to pass on to one of you. I will also be including some items that I have

purchased as well. Hopefully this will happen within the next couple of days so check back soon!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

Lots of Love!!!

A Little Bragging!!!

 

This is my darling baby boy! He is 15 years old and is just about to finish 9th grade and is learning

how to drive...YIKES! He loves and serves the Lord and is an inspiration to his family and friends!

I felt inspired to write about him today...with all that is going on in this crazy world...I am so

proud of the young man he is becoming. God blessed me beyond measure a little over 15 years ago

with this precious child and I have spent the time since just trying not to mess up the wonderful

gift I was given!

I have shared with you about my sweet daughter and thought I would brag a little about this

amazing boy! It really isn't bragging I guess because I had nothing to do with it...he came that

way...he truly is an angel sent from heaven and I am just blessed to have in my care. I guess you

can tell I am crazy about this guy! What can I say...I am one lucky mom;)!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

Lots of Love!!!

Getting to Know You!!!

I am joining in on this weeks linky party...Getting to Know You! Melanie at Southern Comfort in a Northern Life has been participating and I thought it looked like fun so here I go...

The questions...

1. The most expensive thing hanging in my closet is.....? I have a thing for shoes and handbags. Good shoes and handbags. Stuart Weitzman...Prada...Louis Vuitton...all things I shouldn't buy! Does that count?

2. Have you ever played a team sport? My parents made me play softball one season and I hated it! I always took ballet and some sort of dance...much more my speed!

3. If you were a bug, what kind would you be? A dragonfly...I have a thing for dragonflies...I have images of them everywhere!

4. Where on your body is the worst place to get sunburned? My chest. I once had third degree burns there and it still freckles there now when I tan!

5. Are you happy? Absolutely!!! I serve a wonderful Lord and He has blessed me with a beautiful life! It is by no means perfect...but I LOVE IT!!!

6. People are always abbreviating..are there any abbreviations that make your skin crawl when people use them? I got a on a kick of saying OMG...I made my own skin crawl:(! I think I have kicked the habit...I pray that I have kicked the habit!

7. Do you love where you live..or could you live anywhere?I love where I live...but dream of someday having a historical cottage in Fredericksburg, Texas. We look every time we visit there...someday...

8. What, if any, extreme measures do you go to to keep yourself from overeating when you're full? What's full?...just kidding! I love food and I love to eat! Life is short...I say ENJOY!!!

Sunday Favorites!!!

 

I am linking up with Chari at Happy to Design for Sunday favorites! I first posted this in July of

last year. I love how this little tablescape turned out so I thought I would share it again.

Happy Sunday everyone!!!

Yeah!!! It’s Thursday!!! Ya’ll know what that means!!! Tablescapes…tablescapes…

tablescapes!!!

This little table is for extra seating on my back patio. I set the table for two!!!

Everyone in blogland is using shells…so of course I copied!!! My daughter has quite the

collection…so this was easy!!! I also had the linen tea towels that I am using for the

placemats/tablecloth…so I was off and running!!! I know everyone recognizes the white

dishes…courtesy of our dear Gollum. I had the little green desert plates…they pick up the

green in the tea towels perfectly…don’t you agree? The bamboo flatware is another

blogland favorite…from Horchow and the glassware is from there as well. I am so excited

about this little tablescape!!! I love how it came together!!! You never know when you first

get started!!! I must say…this is quickly becoming one of my favorite meme’s!!!

       

I love Tablescape Thursday’s!!! Join Susan and all the other tablescape lover’s at

BETWEEN NAPS ON THE PORCH!!!

Lots of Love!!!
