A Shade-y Kind of Day

Good Sunday afternoon, friends! 

Well, I survived our crazy trip to Denver on Wednesday! If you missed my last post, my 16 year old daughter and I made a 6 hour round trip drive to see her favorite band, Switchfoot. It was a LONG day (we didn't get home until almost 4a.m on Thursday!) but super fun, and worth it for this-

Lights, Fabric, Action!

I hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend! We had a very relaxed Easter Sunday over here. Church, then home to cook and spend the afternoon hanging out with my oldest daughter and son-in-law. 
It was very casual, and just what I hoped for our day. 

Spring is taking its sweet time getting to western Colorado,

Come and See...

This song has been a favorite of mine for several years and always comes to mind on Good Friday. I hope you will listen, and take in the beauty of what Jesus has done to assure us a place with Him in eternity. 

Blessings to you this Easter weekend, my friends!

Farmhouse Style Kitchen Update

Okay, I don't have a real farmhouse kitchen, I just wish I did. I actually live in a fairly new home right now, (which we rent) that leans much more toward contemporary style. But I have always loved rustic, vintage farmhouse style! Way back when, I think we used to refer to it as "country", but today I think the term "farmhouse" brings to mind the fresher image of painted pieces, ironstone and soft, worn surfaces with the simple charm I love. 

This is a photo of the real historic farmhouse

White Plates and Promises

I have been trying to finish some decorating updates in my kitchen for a few WEEKS and I just haven't been able to pull my act together. 
What is it with these children that think they need to eat? Multiple times a day? Sheesh : )
