New Life for a Feed Sack

I hope you are all having a wonderful week!

I spent yesterday out thrifting and looking for some goodies for the upcoming Barn Sale.

Whats the Barn Sale you ask??  Its a one day sale in Gonzales Tx at the JB Wells Show Barns, put on by two of the cutest chicks you'll ever meet. Suzanne and Tracy over at thegirlsatrustedgingham are giving previews so go check them out. Its grown this year so they had to move it to a bigger place. If you get a chance we would love to see you there, and be sure and stop by to say hello!

A peek at some treasures..

Pink...ahhh..love it!

Did you see the feed sack in a frame?? Love it!! I found a couple while out thrifting when my sister was here along with the frames. I thought how cute would those be cut and framed on the wall..well turns out..pretty darn cute!

Sorry, no tutorial..you get the picture though, cut, staple, hang!

Ok, so one will make it to the sale..I can't help myself

I hope you can make it out and find a treasure (or two)!

I would love to see you

Have a blessed day!

Going for It

Happy Tuesday! 

The weather here in Texas is changing and boy does it feel good

Fall is in the air!

It has always been a desire of mine to own a small shop full of beautiful goodies for your home.  I have never really pursued doing anything with my desire until a friend asked if I would like to have a small booth in her new shop she was opening. 

I was hesitant at first..thinking.. what if I don't sell anything, what if people think I can't do it, what if, what if....yes, I tend to do that to myself

Well long story short..I decided to take the plunge and give it a shot

No, it's not my shop but its a small start to fulfilling my little desire for a creative outlet

God knows the desires of my heart and His Word says that if we pray and ask He will give us the desires of our hearts if it is His will for us

I have enjoyed meeting new people and playing in my little closet (its a small space) and look forward to this new adventure with excitement!

A little orange feather wreath for some fall color!

These next few are not my space but others in the shop...

So what are the desires of your heart? Do you have a passion for something and need a little nudge to get started..I say GO FOR IT!!

Have a beautiful day!

A Whirlwind Week

Whew!! My goodness it was a whilrwind week. My sis in law was here and we shopped till we dropped and then shopped some more. I think we covered the PB outlet, TJ Maxx and our favorite antique store at least twice this week. I ate out more times than I would like to admit and laughed and cried more than I have in awhile. She headed back to Tennessee yesterday morning and now I have so much to get caught up on!

We had a couple birthday celebrations this week(end). My brother in law and my youngest celebrated another year!

We had a great laugh at a local restaurant when the waiters brought out sombrero's for the guys to wear and of course I had to snap a picture. 

Ohh good times!!

I had a birthday celebration for my son at the house with family and friends. His newest love is golf and so his sister and I put together some cupcakes to celebrate his special day. 

I started with some skewers (I had them) cut down to make the poles for the flags.

Then I made some flags using yellow construction paper and glued them to the sticks. 

Made some chocolate cupcakes, iced with green icing (tinted) added some darker green sprinkles for the rough, and a small chocolate ball for the golf ball and voila!!

He loved them!! 

The best part was spending some time in the kitchen with my girl!!

Gosh, I look so white (note to self, a little lipstick next time)

It was a wonderful week! Don't you love my girls apron?? We found it at our favorite little cottage antique store and I can't wait to show you some pics of her darling store. She is a fellow blogger and I want to help get her name out there..more to come...

Happy Birthday to my sweet boy who turns 14 today! My time flies doesn't it?!

I hope you have a wonderful Monday!

Can't wait to share a pic of something I have been wanting to do for a long time and I finally took the plunge... 

Thanks for stopping in, you all mean so much to me!
