La Crème de la Crème…
Recently, I had the honor of participating in Natasha’s Fabric Cuff Swap. When I found out that my partner would be Stephenie of Just a Little Bit Pink, I was giddy like a school girl. If you don’t yet know Stephenie…you must get to know her… She is a beautiful soul who has an exquisite home, collections, and creative talent. {She also has some really cute dogs!} Today, we both received our cuffs. When I opened mine…I was…well there are just no words to describe how my heart was leaping in my chest…I was amazed…stunned…mezmerized… I didn’t give Stephenie any real direction in where to go with my cuff.

Cultivating Beauty…
If a simple phrase could sum up my plan for the summer…this would be it… To cultivate beauty in all that I do… I have recently been working long hours to fill up the shop with many new items to help inspire others to do the same. I hope you will allow me the honor of sharing some of them here with you… As posted previously…I have been working on a new line of accent pillows…currently mostly burlap…but plan to add many more styles throughout the summer months.

Little of This, That and a Sneak Peek…
As I mentioned in a previous post, I have been keeping very busy preparing our new summer line for the shop…and amidst all of the creating…there has been a little of this and that happening along the way.

You can get a little sneak peek of the linen ones below… I have also been busy “decorating” our garden {I use the word loosely…as I have only gone out to arrange things when I want to photograph}. We live in townhouses and…

Spring Beauty…
I hope that you all had a wonderful Easter holiday! Thank you to all of you who came and left lovely thoughts and greetings for me. I have not had a chance to make the rounds and get caught up with all of my blogging friends since returning from Virginia…but I am going to work on that this week. Josh and I had a lovely time away at his parents…enjoyed the “wrap” into spring as we headed south. Flowers were blooming and the trees were green…unlike here…but it is starting to get there. We spent the majority of our time getting to know our very first niece…Evangeline… She is the…

Nesting…
First of all…I must say thank you…a heartfelt thank you…to all of you who left such encouraging and uplifting comments on my last post. And thank you to all of the wonderful women who emailed me to tell me you feel the same…and for reminding me that I am not alone! I hope that by sharing my experiences it can help remind us all that we are all in this together…it’s not a race or a contest…we each have gifts and abilities…and should remember when visiting others that it in no way diminishes our creativity or ideas…or means that “everyone else has it all together”…we are all in the same…
