It’s FINALLY stopped raining here this past week and we’ve had the most GLORIOUS weather! I know there is just some crazy weather events happening all over the US, so I hope you are safe and well wherever you happen to be.

Life Lately

We’ve been taking advantage of the beautiful Summer weather as much as possible.

Last weekend, we spent 6 hours on our paddle boards fishing a few lakes for Largemouth bass. After about 3 hours, I finally hooked into a big one and BOY was it fun!

I’m more of a river fly fishing gal but lakes are also super fun, especially in June when the big bass are on the prowl for food!

Even though I applied SPF 60 TWICE, the tops of my legs still got so sunburned…oh well! I definitely got my vitamin D in.

Since 4th of July is just around the corner, I’ve been adding a few patriotic touches around the house to commemorate the holiday. You will see a new patriotic post on the blog this Wednesday!

Lastly, miss Molly is definitely getting a little personality on her. She’s spunky, funny, and isn’t afraid to tell you what she wants 🙂

In case you haven’t heard the news yet, I WROTE AN E-BOOK! My very first e-book, ‘An Introduction to: Antique and Vintage Home Decor’, was released early last week and I couldn’t be more excited about it. It’s been two years in the making!

The e-book is a 32 page, downloadable PDF file that you will receive in your email upon purchase. In it, you will find tips for sourcing, pricing, and styling decor from milk glass to copper to linens. I do hope you check it out!
