One man's trash is another man's treasure!


A friend of my grandmother was getting rid of this chair. As gorgeous as it was I still chose to go ahead and re cover it. I used leftover fabric my Grandma bought me. I also used left over padding from my other grandmother's quilting days. So I call this The Grandma Chair!

Beautiful Feet


I would imagine after reading the title to this blog, and then seeing the image I am refering to, you probably think I need my eyes checked. Actually I have 20/20 vision!

Isaiah 52:7 says "How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings good news, the good news of peace and salvation, the news that the God of Israel reigns!"

The manly looking feet in the picture are my brother Seth's feet. He is currently in Africa bringing the goodnews to people who may have never heard if he hadn't chose to go. So yes, as crazy as it may be according to Isaiah 52:7 his feet are in fact BEAUTIFUL!

Nail Art

Megan and I decided to be adventuresome with our nails this evening...



We saw this video tutorial to for Marble Nail Art It looked crazy... so naturally we had to try! It was rather difficult to get started but a couple nails into it and I got the hang of it (The first picture is of my fail) Megan gave up after two nails... But I pressed through!!!

Now so you don't think I am jumping off the deep in... I realize these look like something Bon Qui Qui would wear. But I used muted colors and didn't use 10 inch long acrylics. So it ended up looking more eclectic than ghetto :)

Happy Bastille Day!


Hello... er.. I mean Bonjour!

So yesterday was Bastille day (Independence day for France)

I spent the evening with my beautiful friend @MostlyMegan, Her mother @CandisesCrew, and my mother! We ate at Café des Amis which is a French restaurant in Parkville. The food was so savory, the service was wonderful (and gorgeous). The owner and some of the employee's are from France so they speak to one another in French (So fun)! It is a two thumbs up!

Not Guilty?


I don't know about your circle of the world but everywhere I go Casey Anthony's trial seems to come up one way or another. The moment I heard she was not guilty I was upset. Everyone else I know who had been following the case was genuinely sick about the outcome. Today I heard one of my favorite songs its called Not Guilty By: Mandisa (Click to listen) No I don't mean to only blog about Mandisa's music but apparently I have brainstorms while jamming out. In the song one of my favorite lines says "Love paid the price for mercy, my verdict not guilty." This song always gives me goosebumps! My point is we have all gotten off the hook and God has shown us mercy. We deserve Hell but He choose to love us instead. Not that I change my views on the trail. But I feel a little closer to the seat of the murderer than the judge.
Just some thoughts

Beautiful & Belted


I am currently obsessed with my belt collection! Belting means more than a large woman at the opera singing a fabulously long and high note... it also is more than the object of punishment for children. Belts are used for necessity but I prefer to wear them for no purpose at all other than they're cute :) Some of my favorites have been the most inexpensive!
