we are having some glorious weather here in Georgia
glorious!
we're opening windows
freshening up the blankets
&
baking yummy things like chocolate chip pumpkin bread
and apple crisp
lady antebellum playing on pandora
fresh sunflowers
a breeze blowing through the open windows
& a heavenly aroma in the kitchen
perfectly simple & sweet
my favorite kind of day
the chalkboard reads~
the woods are full of fairies
the sea is full of fish
the trees are full of golden leaves
let's make an autumn wish
i also put out some of my paintings
i took painting lessons for several years
& am hoping to make the time to start back up
many of the paintings i did were jennifer lanne
i love her simple subjects
combined with breathtaking use of color
since i'm not gonna sell them
duh
i hoped she didn't mind that i was inspired by her work
& wanted to "practice"
she's going to be here in october for the country living fair
oh my word
i am so stalking her
i placed them in the little hallway between our kitchen
& what i affectionately refer to as our skinny door
( the little opening beside the garage)
a little pop of color in our neutral home
also wanted to share one of the pieces we brought home
while packing up dan's parents home
which by the way
WE CLOSED ON!!!
it sold
what a miracle
seriously
i purchased a little cushion & covered it with some painters tarp
i used no-sew fusable webbing
be impressed
my little snazzy slipcover will probably fall apart by thursday
at which point i'll run it up to my alterations bestie
but for now
i'm LOVING it!
i always wanted a chaise for our back porch
so on our perfectly glorious october weekend
i sat on a chaise formerly owned by my inlaws
i thanked the lord for them & for their lives
for the fact that their home sold so quickly
for the blessing of a home full of 5 of my favorite people ever
for a perfectly simple & sweet crisp autumn morning
simple things
but things i pray i will never take for granted
ever
