Bridal Shower---Part 2

I had so many pictures of Savanah's special day...so they continue.

This will be one of our last events before she is married and moves away.

Gorgeous.

Every detail is attended to.

They have a beautiful little stream on the property.

Beautiful! I would love to have one of these.

 

My dear friend Heather and her daughter Erin. She drove over 200 miles to come to Savanah's shower. She is a true friend and sister in Christ....I so love and appreciate her.

The Bridal Shower----Part 1

Before leaving in the morning....The bride to be.

I have shown this tea room before it is so gorgeous!

They had every thing set and ready for us.

This is truly my dream look for my home.

This was also for the party...

The Entry.

I would love this bird bath in a cottage garden.

 

 

Lighting.

Ideas for window treatments...

 

Need a hat.

 

Beautiful vintage dress.

 

I love these hats... I will be sharing more photos soon. The day was so fun and beautiful. Savanah definitely had a day to remember....all thanks to her Grandma Linda and Aunt Judy for putting it on...

Laundry Cart

I have been so busy but I did manage to squeeze in getting my laundry cart liner finished. I used a vintage sheet and vintage trim that I had gotten for super cheep at an antique store. It turned out really cute. And it perfectly matches my laundry room. I do still plan on showing the whole thing soon. I have been very slow in this process.

The wedding planning has put a hold on a lot of my normal every day life.... I know weddings are great, but honestly I will be glad when it is over. This is the front of the wedding invitation. Kevin designed it and he did a really good job. Saturday is the Bridal Shower. It will be at the tea room. I will share pictures of the day.  I think it we will have a lovely time. Until then.....

Blessings and Love,
Amy Jo



Another Year!

Another year is dawning!
Dear Master, let it be,
In working or in waiting,
Another year with Thee,
Another year in leaning,
Upon Thy loving breast,
Of ever-deepening trustfulness,
Of quiet, happy rest.

Another year of mercies,
Of faithfulness and grace,
Another year of gladness,
In the shining of Thy face.
Another year of progress,
Another year of praise;
Another year of proving
Thy presence "all the days."


----Frances Ridley Havergal

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to His abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead."      1 Peter 1:3


Love, Blessings and a Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year!!!!!!

Wow, has the month of December flew by!

The decorating this year seemed like it was in slow motion but every thing else was so quick.

I decided to put all of my green balls with the roses on the dining table. I really liked how they looked.

They were really pretty all together.

 

I only had pink and white on the tree this year.

 

I used my tree skirt that I got at good will earlier in the year.

 

These little mice were so darling. They were at Jo -Annes unfortunately I only got three of them because they were already sold out.

One of my favorites from A Gathering Place.

 

 

Lastly my bedroom tree. I love having the tree beside us....it is so pretty. But now it is all packed away for another year....I can hardly believe it's over.... I hope each one of you have a very safe New Year! I pray that God blesses you and keeps you safe.

 

Love to all of you,

Amy Jo



Vintage Santa

It has been a while since I posted... Christmas has been taking up quite a bit of time. I have been having so much fun playing with all of my décor.

As you know I don't really do very much red these days....but when my Mom was going through her Christmas stuff and passing it out to me and my sister, this jolly Santa was the one thing I really wanted. He reminds me of days gone by and really happy Christmases.



He is so cute! I then dug out this old Hollie Hobbie Christmas book and this vintage Santa apron.  A little vignette was born. ta da!

I will be baking and cleaning and preparing this week for our annual Christmas party...I am so excited!!  I can't wait to show you some of my other décor....Until then..

Merry Christmas,
xo

It's Beginning.....

to look a lot like Christmas!

This is the pillow I bought from A Gathering Place last year... I love this pillow.

My stocking is hung...

 

The Angel's are watching over..  last year's Goodwill find.

 

This is the pillow I got this year from Rebecca at A Gathering Place...

 

It is just the perfect size for my little child's chair.... I love the darling little Angels. And the vintage little trims... I am thinking about painting this chair. What do you think?

I still have a lot to do and it seems time is just flying by.... I am loving every minute though!

 

Holiday Happiness,
