Barn~Fly

Meet my new drawer. She is vintage with a metal cup pull handle, and is a perfect shade of green. Now you may be wondering what her purpose is.......but I have a plan! I own a cute green chair that has never really had a place. I am going to put my lovely drawer on top and have and instee bedside table for storing books. And if that doesn't work out.....I still have a fabulous drawer I can use as a prop at our upcoming craft shows :-)

oh, and she has a sister.......if anyone is interested!

LBB Loves The Beekman Boys

While visiting my mom and dad last month, I was introduced to their favorite show which has quickly become a guilty pleasure of my own. The Fabulous Beekman Boys on Plant Green! The show spotlights two city boys who leave everything behind to go country. The “Beekman” refers to an old farm near Sharon Springs, N.Y., about 50 miles west of Albany with goats, pigs, llamas, and a beautifully preserved federal style mansion. Aaaah, the life!

The show is great because it spotlights their journey to turn their farm into a sustainable, organic lifestyle and retail business. There goat milk soaps and cheeses look divine and I am hoping to get my hands on some soon! I love watching the dynamics of their relationship as well. Brent's uptight demeanor paired with Josh's laid back attitude makes for some pretty funny television momentsAll in all, the show is cute, stylish and educational. It really makes me want to have a farm someday......with cute goats....that I can pet :-)

Snow Day=a good time for all!

The most fun I have had since we moved to Fort Smith
The hubby, dogs and I had the most wonderful day playing in the snow. I have never experienced anywhere near this much snow and so it was quite fun for me :-) We got 5 inches! The dogs loved catching snowballs but didn't understand where they went when they disintegrated!

Happy Weekend + More Pom Pom Love

I can't believe it is the weekend already. Sadly, thanks to a winter storm, I may be stuck inside all weekend, but hopefully will have power! On another note, I saw this adorable picture of Scarlett Johansson wearing this fluffy pom pom heart tee and instantly thought "this would be a great DIY" Unfortunately, aside from 7th grade home-ec, I have zero sewing experience and couldn't quite figure out how to sew a pom pom securely onto a tee shirt. Does anyone have any suggestions? Someone needs to make a tutorial for this!

Happy Weekend + Brrrrrrr

This pretty much sums up my entire last week....minus the snow! With highs in the teens all week, this Arctic blast was quite a shock to me, coming from Texas where it may get below freezing once a year. I did my best to stay warm, even while having to take a puppy out a gazillion times a day to potty train! Hopefully this week will bring warmer temperatures.....pretty please?

Too pretty not to post

I have been staring at this magical photo all evening. I can't get over the dream like quality and pastel yumminess.I have had a few other pretty horsies saved in my files for awhile and thought this was a fitting time to bring em out. I think horses are such mystical creatures. I love to look at them

Maybe if I ever have a lot of land I can get a horse. I am sure my dogs would love it...
Enjoy!

My early Christmas present!

Meet Ellie MaeMy husband found this poor little pup in the freezing cold last weekend. She had been hanging out around my brother-in-law's house and we think someone dumped her there :(

I have been wanting a second dog forever and Matt always said no because our yellow lab is pretty aggressive with other dogs. He couldn't leave this poor puppy in the cold so he brought her home and the rest is history.....

We decided to call her Ellie. Later that day we were watching the Beverly Hillbillies and the daughter's name is Ellie Mae......well as it turns out, the family on the movie is from Arkansas (and we live in AR), and the neighborhood where she was dumped in called Beverly Hills! It was a match made in heaven :) Lucky little Ellie is loving her new home.
