the Nester…hydrangeas & me

Last Saturday I got the opportunity to go hang out with The Nester {and a group of fabulous ladies} in her beautiful home for the afternoon for a Blessings Unlimited party…hello!!  I love a road trip…for me it was a no-brainer…I {heart} The Nester…and her mad decorating skillz…I stalk her blog pretty much daily.

dreaming of a mantel

Nester‘s having a Mantel Party and while I don’t have a mantel…I sure wish I did!  We’ve had an empty place in our den for awhile now, and while ultimately I hope to find something on Craig’s List to fill the spot…it just hasn’t happened yet.  So last week we decided to try moving the dresser [...]

Time to Love Others.

Jesus summed up God’s law quite simply:  “…’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’  The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’There is no commandment greater than these.”  (Mark 12:30-31)

Fall here we come!

Home Beautiful

I’m so excited – I just finalized my order on Amazon and soon the next two beautiful books will be in my hands! Home Decor has become more and more interesting to me in the past few weeks and thanks to the Nesting Place I decided this was a resource I just couldn’t live with [...]

Bless this Nest

Have you been to the Nesting Place yet? I hope so – but if not, boy are you in for a treat! I have always wished that I had the decorating gene, but alas I do not. Periodically I am able to pull together a look that I like…

but more often than not, [...]
