Found this cute pillow at Hobby Lobby. I put it in my sewing room, since it is the only place with pink. I would like to bling this pillow up, but maybe another day. |

I found this pillow in Branson, MO. “She held her head high and stepped into her latest adventure.” |

Love your house! Especially your office & guest room!
Your home is gorgeous and so inspiring. I love all your touches and special treasures. Love the black, toile and those safety pins are awesome. I love Ballard Designs too.
Have a great weekend.

What a beautiful home you’ve created. I especially like the guest bedroom. Where did you get the bedding? It’s gorgeous! Have a great weekend. Blessings, Dani
Wow, your home office looks as big as my family room/dinette combined! I came across your blog via a link at The Crowned Casa, a website I just love! You have a lovely home office and hit just the right combination of function, practicality with style and coziness. I need to study it and see if there are some ideas I can borrow 🙂
Beverly,
Your guest bedroom is lovely. I enjoyed browsing through the different rooms in your home. You know, black, white, and red combination is a favorite of mine. The bird pillow is sweet. You have given me inspiration to decorate for the Fall season coming up.
Love,
