Good morning. What a weekend. We were over the moon to have our daughter home for a quick visit. She was craving home cooked meals and a chance to exhale. It was glorious (and too short). Sending her off never gets any easier. But knowing she is happy and has found wonderful friends makes my heart happy. Here is a peek at life lately with our Monday Morning Wrap Up.
HOCKEY BANQUET
We capped the weekend with our son’s hockey banquet. It was such a fun evening celebrating a great season. We are so lucky to have such kind and genuine families on the team. Anyone in the sports world knows that’s a unicorn. It isn’t always that way. Great boy, parents and coaches made for such a fun year. It hit me that the next time we do this, our boy will be a senior. So not ready for that. He was 3 when I started this blog. Where does the time go?
SO MUCH BEAUTY
We stopped into the nursery this weekend with high hopes of planting flowers. It’s almost comical to watch my husband and me navigate a nursery. I can talk pillows and decor all day long, but anything related to landscaping makes me crumble. I think it’s because we have had such terrible luck keeping things alive. Our Sunpatiens thrived last year so we are holding out for those. Apparently it’s still too early in the season so we came home empty handed. No big shock there.
OUR COUNTER STOOLS
When I shared this photo on Instagram over the weekend I had so many questions about the counter stools. We love them! Ours are gray and we painted the base matte black (just using spray paint) before attaching the seats. I also shared that this island is pretty much a disaster on the daily. It’s pretty much a dumping ground for things before they find their home. But when it’s cleared off, I just love it. The cherry blossoms are such a lovely spring addition.
DOUBLE SIDED FABRIC
I’ve shared Woven Nook pillow covers before (they have a beautiful selection) but I wanted you to know that you can now order double sided if that is your preference. So instead of the back being a solid ivory or white fabric, you can have the print on both sides. The prices are fantastic for designer pillows. And these are the inserts I always use. Be sure to buy an insert that is 2″ larger than the pillow. You can also buy the insert from Woven Nook (currently on sale).
COMES IN LARGE SIZES
I shared this in Saturday Shopping this week. What a steal. It comes in large sizes and is on sale for under $40. Our doormat is faded and needs to be replaced. Looking forward to this one arriving this week. It can be a challenge if you have a double door entry. It’s not always easy to find the longer length to be centered in front of the doors.
BEST SELLER
This quilted jacket was the best seller from the week. I have one in a different print and wear it all the time. The cut is flattering and it is so comfy and cozy. Really soft and can be worn with anything from your workout outfit to denim or shorts. It’s soooooo cute.
Despite a tornado watch and hail last night, we are supposed to have sunny skies this week. Tennessee weather certainly keeps us on our toes, that’s for sure. This week I’ll be working on artwork and pillows for our basement. Looking forward to sharing the progress. Make it a great Monday, my friend.
