etsy favorites.

the sun is back! after a weekend plus of rain & storms,
it's so nice to see the sun shine again.
thankful for it today---& praying for dear friends back
in arkansas as they work against flood waters.

i'm thinking of gearing my etsy favorites towards our future home...anything that grabs my attention as a potential piece is fair game! name change may come...any suggestions?

for now, we still have an etsy favorite this morning. lovin' vintage finds (& wish for money to fall from the sky for this purchase!).

such a fun pattern in a fun, fun color.
found here.

up north.

just sent a package up north to minnesota for a sweet cousin.
bec, hope you love your order!

i think these make-up bags are some of my favorite things to sew. they come together very quickly--it's nice to see the fruit of your labor so fast! each one is the same pattern but the colors in the fabrics make each one so individual.
LOVE it.

springy green & oh so fun.



coordinating flat iron cover. the inside is lined
with the springy green.

coral flat iron cover with a yellow dotted lining.
love, love, love.

favorite new fabric.

check back for my etsy favorite tomorrow!
happy monday!

good friday.

today is a good day in so many ways. above all, though, today is good because this amazing gift of everlasting life that i take hope in. one day soon we will be reunited in heaven & will get to praise God at His very feet. so thankful for the gift of grace & mercy that the Heavenly Father saw fit to give such a sinner like me.

for God so loved the world, that He gave His one & only Son, that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life.
john 3:16

a simple verse, yes. one that even the littlest children can remember, yes. it goes so much deeper than most people give it credit. thankful beyond words that the Lord gave up someone He loved so deeply to rescue us.

praise the LORD. praise the LORD.

fabric flowers + pillows = way cute.

favorite.

check back tomorrow for a new oklahoma/arkansas post!

coffee, coffee, coffee.

every morning starts with a cup of coffee. blame it on my grandparents & my parents for doing the same thing throughout the course of my life, ok? in some cases, it's really not about the caffeine (and in others, that is TOTALLY the case) but more about a lifestyle. cheesy, yes, but still. there is just something about sitting down with a mug of hot coffee & starting my day off on a good foot. warm & cozy feelings just have to follow, don't they?

thanks to mom, this creamer is the ONLY one for me.
a latte foam? perfect.

happy hump day!

etsy favorites.

today's etsy favorites is thanks to young house love. they posted about their gallery wall yesterday (more on that later this week)& i'm having a hard time containing my need to make a run to the store to buy all sorts of frames to recreate a similar look in our home.
in.love.

i've always just focused on family pictures for our gallery wall. what a thought (duh, ashley) to put other fun prints up as well. this one is definitely going on my long-term wish list NOW.

found here.
