FancyFriday ~ LINK UP on April 27th

Fancy Friday Link Up

We had such a great time with the Gathered Thoughts Link Up party and many talented and inspiring writers participated.  It made us rethink FancyFriday Link Ups. We want to hear from more of you! We want the party to grow and the conversations to continue. Basically, we don't want the time at the table to end. We seriously could linger here forever. FancyFriday's will be every last Friday of the month. Each month there will be a theme, you can find the next three month's themes, HERE. We would love for you to write a post … [Read more...]

Inspiration In An Italian Print Shop

Trevi fountain

About 4 years ago Kristin and I and our husbands, Todd and Devon, embarked on a week of Italian adventure.  It was the first time we had traveled together.  We were comfortable with eachother abroad as much as in our own backyards.   We drank the best wine, shared a wonderful table in Tuscany, found the best apartment right behind the Trevi Fountain that was spotless, and snacked from fresh local markets.  We discovered Todd and I are fast walkers.  One day as we meandered in a neighborhood somewhere near the Spanish Steps we … [Read more...]

Sofa Confessional

186

I shared with you A Sofa Story and how our current sofa helped to create a home. We loved that sofa for a long time, but I must confess, the love is wearing thin. My kids wanted to put their two cents into the ring. So, we created a Sofa Confessional in our closet and let them rant. *I am participating in Su Casa Furniture's Test It, Blog It, Win It. I get to choose a sofa of my choice, let it live with me for a month, blog about it, try it out and if I'm chosen as the winner (based on creativity) I get to keep the sofa. If … [Read more...]

I'll have to admit... I was seriously giddy when The Traveling Cookbook arrived way up here in the Northwest all the way from Bridget in Texas! My heart was beaming when I found The Pioneer Woman Cooks wrapped up in an adorable burlap bag with lots of ribbon and a sweet note from Chris Ann and Kristin of the LoveFeast Table. Knowing the cookbook had traveled from Kristin~ to Amy~ to Robyn~ to Wenderly~ and to Bridget made thumbing through the pages very special. I am honored to be part of the effort to raise money for Feed My … [Read more...]

Fancy Friday Five ~ St. Patrick’s Day

4 leaf clover on page

When Irish eyes are smiling, sure 'tis like a morn in spring. In the lilt of Irish laughter, you can hear the angels sing.   (Photos: Padmita's Makeup Blog) When Irish hearts are happy all the world seems bright and gay, And when Irish Eyes are Smiling, sure, they steal your heart away. (Photo & Recipe: Jacques of All Trades) There's a tear in your eye and I'm wondering why, For it never should be there at all. With such power in your smile, sure a stone you'd beguile, And there's never a … [Read more...]
