know me better

Planning times when people gather to celebrate, decorating the place where our family makes memories and bringing order to it all under the roof of a two story tudor- that’s where you will find me.

I’m a wife, mom of 3, artist, daughter, “housewife”, volunteer, designer, friend, and I strive to live it all out as a faithful follower of Christ. We reside in a Two Story Tudor, of course, and I do hope we get to know each other better!

These little people statues of all sorts have morphed into a collection that started with $1 lamps I couldn’t pass us…

How did your collections start?
If you don’t collect…what might you?

🌎🌍🌏You know me, globe crazy. This is the ultimate beautiful Mother’s Day gift (that I bought myself, lol- I know, cheesy but true.)

I love it so much AND it has a great story too. I bought it from @shimsuepickings at @kinsey_vintage_market with encouragement from @emmajeanrelics among others…

So when Tim was a kid, this globe was at his elementary school and the kids used to close their eyes and put there finger on a spot and that would be “where they would live when they grew up.”

Happy Mother’s Day!

Not a new door but I haven’t shared it in a while… our Dutch door that leads to our laundry room and is surrounded by my collection of salt & pepper shakers. Some cute S&P.

“The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.”

We were a little behind and just colored this afternoon.

Happy Easter! He is risen indeed!
