Today I went over to Houndstooth Boutique the location for our next BlogLove™ event, "Spark & Style". I needed to go over last minute details with Amber (the owner of Houndstooth) and of course check out the fashion. Later I realized that this would be the perfect time to link up with an a popular blog party called What I Wore Wednesday over a Lindsey's blog The Pleated Poppy. Hi Lindsey! These are some of the looks I tried on today at Houndstooth. (Sorry the pics are out of focus a tad, Amber was not acquainted with my … [Read more...]

By on March 25, 2011 with
The snow is melted (in some parts) and the crocuses are peeking their heads. What does that mean? Time to get inspired to create! We wanted to share a few of our favorite projects right now.

We love these burlap rosettes from FabuLESSly Crafty. Anything burlap makes our hearts sing. Since we have a thing for chalkboards...and … [Read more...]
Tablescaping for a Skater Brother
By on March 23, 2011 with
Last fall we took a him in. He's a good kid who had too many curve balls thrown his way. He needed a break. We hoped our home would be the break he needed. Our kids quickly opened up their hearts and rooms to him and let him in. Little Man calls him his brother. Drama Boy calls him, "His brother from another mother." Recently he turned 18. We helped throw a party for him. Wanting to honor his passions without belittling him with youthful decorations, I came up with this. Throughout last year, when we … [Read more...]
Safe House of Hope Event

Two of those children she adopted. She has a super big heart. She started Safe House of Hope because of her passion to see victims of domestic sex trafficking industry, find freedom and healing. In Baltimore, there are very few services offered for under aged girls who are rescued from sex trafficking. When a brothel or … [Read more...]
