Happy Sunday everyone.
I hope that you have been enjoying a long weekend with family or doing what you love- relaxing or maybe shopping.
Grateful
Thanksgiving 2018 has come and gone and we are zooming towards Christmas. Thanksgiving was a wonderful day with family with our big kids home and lots of laughter in the house this year. We celebrated a bit early because of work schedules but the day on the calendar didn’t matter- we were so grateful to be able to all be together. With big kids that live in different areas and states- there are just a few times a year now when everyone is together and it makes my heart feel so full. There is so much we are grateful for and I found myself pausing several times in the busy of the day and reflecting a bit.
I also found myself thinking of so many people we know and others who are struggling this year. I hoped that they found a friend or got a hug and a smile and had more than a little spot of brightness in their day.
Ch-ch-ch- changes
You know…. things are a-changing over here.
Not crazy changes. Not everything is going to look different changes.
But… changes even so.
Sometimes you design a room, a style, a house, etc. exactly the way you love it.
And you love it and love it and love it for years. Without changing much.
And then one day- you just feel those winds blowing in.
And I have been feeling like one of those super models with my hair blowing
in those winds for a bit now. And I guarantee I look more like a dog putting my head out the car window than a super model haha
but yes, those winds have ruffled me a bit.
SO, I am working on some new designs in the house and cottage that involve a few changes. Not those rooms that I am fully in love with that more recently changed- don’t worry.
(the bathroom above is not changing)
But I am EXCITED about some updates – especially in the cottage where we have kind of placed some stuff on the back burner for a bit.
And I am taking advantage of a couple of the sales going on this weekend and placing a couple of orders this week.
