Well Hello there.

  OK, hey there. So I know it's been a couple of weeks since we've talked. I miss y'all!  I have a bad habit of once I stop doing something in my routine for a few days, it rolls into a few weeks. Sort of like going to the gym.  Is it like this for you? I hope I'm not the only one!
I purposely took a few days off from all things blog to "recharge the ol' batteries" and then accidentally took a few weeks off.  But you know, I figure, with all of the amazing blogs out there with crazy cool original content, nobody will miss me...especially when I can barely form complete sentences some days! HA!

And here's the thing, I started this blog as a creative outlet {FOR ME} As a way {FOR ME}to connect with other people that care about the latest gorgeous fabric or that unbelievable wallpaper or that lay awake thinking about chandeliers and lamps and dream of pillows or shoes or jewelry.  I'm fortunate to have made bloggy friends and meet some amazing peeps who actually do care about this stuff, but when I'm not really contributing anything worth ready or posting 4 times per week I hate that I feel really guilty. Ick. Who needs that??
So, in an effort to absolutely NOT sound selfish, but instead in an effort to do what's best {FOR ME}and in getting back to what this started as...a place{FOR ME}to talk about the stuff I like, when no one else (IRL) really cares about it or to tell someone, anyone, about something I'm doing or saw or thought of, I am posting today! Posts may be a bit more sparse. Once, maybe twice a week. Maybe more if I can make the time or have something really incredible to share, but no more guilt over not posting!! And no more posting just for the sake of posting. Amen? Alrighty then!!  :)

Saturday I'm headed to downtown Greenville with a friend or 2 to take in the Etsy sponsored Indie Craft Parade. It's held indoors at the Huguenot Mill this is the 2nd year they've done it. I missed out last year, but have heard great things.  There are about 70 participants and I can't wait to find some fabulous treasures! One in particular that I'm pretty jazzed about seeing is Lily Pottery. I read about her work, featured in Garden and Gun last month seen here. She makes this incredible ceramic jewelry. I'd love a ring like this one:

Hubs will be at the C-L-E-M-S-O-N game, so it will be a perfect "girl's day out" to hang, shop, eat girl food, gab and drink wine!

In other news...

I've been a busy bee working on some new projects (both IRL and online!) and I'm excited to share them with you soon!  One thing in particular that I think you'll like is this Den/Breakfast area that I'm about to get started on...my client's inspiration is this picture from the-now-seen-all-over-pinterest/blogs spread in Southern Living. She had picked it before it's massive popularity and I had already selected the oh-so-delicious-China Seas Zig Zag to use as a coordinate too!  Serendipity!!
