1/ Dining. I got crafty this month. Second trimester has been good to me, and motivation and energy levels have increased! I completed a big project for the wall, and laid out a new centerpiece for the table. Now if I could only transfer that motivation to the still ongoing backsplash project...
2/ Lake Weekend. Got to go with friends to Tablerock Lake for a very relaxing weekend. Lots of rest, lots of food, great shopping, and heart-to-hearts. What would a girl do without girlfriends?
3/ Peonies. We have peonies, people! Never imagined they would be this beautiful. This spring has been so much fun watching all of the blooms in our yard. We moved in last September, and as we are NOT experienced gardeners we had no idea what would come in the spring. So far: azaleas in every color, pink & white hydrangeas, and white peonies.
4/ Sister's House. Emily and I went to Dallas to visit my sister and while there helped pull her living room together! She already had her amazing Crate & Barrel couch, as well as the rugs and coffee table. We were able to have so much fun finding great deals on end tables, lamps, coffee table books and tray, etc. P.S. Emily just went into business as Emily Davis Interiors. You must check it out:)
5/ Girl's Weekend. Although May was post- tax season for Taylor, I have gotten lots of me/fun time (love you, honey:). Emily and I spent a long, fun weekend in Dallas, one of my favorite cities (mostly because my sis lives there). Terelli's, Hattie's in Bishop Arts District, antique shopping, and plenty of patio time relaxing!
6/ 22 weeks. We're just a blowin' and a growin' over here.
7/ Antique District. Although I've been to Dallas countless times, we've never ventured over to this part of town, and let me tell you, I'm in love. These shops are filled to the brim with some really great, really inspiring things.
8/ Zushing. Lots of zushing going on around here, especially with flowers from the backyard.
9/ Heirloom. I took an old family photo of Taylor's great-great-grandfather on the family's original Northwest Oklahoma homestead, blew it up to a 36 x 45 and mounted it to foam board. I first saw this project on Little Green Notebook and have been wanting to do it ever since. Like most things, I wonder why I didn't do it a long time ago because it only took me two quick errands and 45 minutes before I had the final product. Oh, and it was extremely inexpensive. We hung it in our entryway (kind of symbolic, me thinks). More on that later.
Thanks for the shout out! But I think my fav part of this post was the term 'blowin' and growin' muah!
